Gals, he said, are mostly prohibitive,

Mr.. Davis has never had an oc-
casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills or
any other kidney medicine since he
recommended them in the summer of
1903. For years prior to that time
he had been an almost constant suf-
ferer from kidney trouble. He had
intense pains in his back which ex-
tended to his shoulders and annoyed
him all day. They prevented him
from sleeping during the night. The
relief he obtained from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills which he got at
L. A. johnson & Co.'S. drug store
was surprising. They acted differ
emily from any remedy he ever tried
and he has never had a recurrence
of the trouble since using this valu-
able remedy four years ago. 1t

Napoleon as a subaItern.

AS a laSky subaltern Napoleon APP
pears in the Memoirs of the First
Empire" by Gen. Girois. The Little
Corporal himself, when emperor, told
party of officers, among whom was
the writer, how he played practical
jokes on his colonel when he was a
lieutenant of artillery. 1--WE had neat
way of astounding our chiefs by the
accuracy of our gun practice" said
Napoleon. 1--WE just tied a string to
the target, and after the shot, before
the smoke had risen, gunner crept
up and pulled the string, overturning
the target. Thus all our shots were
hits. We also had a colonel who was
stone deaf and we used to fire blank
cartridges, telling him we had fired
ball. He would spend hours hunting
for traces of the shots" One wonders
what Napoleon would have said IL his
own subalterns had served him with
the same tricks.-London Telegraph.

First Lesson for a Child.


"The first time a child has sense

eide whether his shoes fit or not" said
a mother of five little ones. 1--WE
have to put the decision on the little
tots themselves, for no mother, no
matter how many intuitions she may
have, can possibly tell whether a shoe
pinches here, fits tight there, or slips
on the heel, 1t is always a delight
to me when 1 have taken my children
in for their first pair of hard shoes.
as they call them. At first they act
bewildered when [ insist that they
alone know whether the shoes hurt
or not, for they have been so used to
listening to my opinion and ultimatum
on all matters of clothes. Then they
look serious, almost ready to cry, and
finally they get down to business and
try to tackle this problem of the At
of shoes. 1t worries them good deal
and 1 always feel little sorry when
I see their anxious looks, for 1t means
they've had their first taste of respon-
sibility and begin to realize that mama

Tigers Courage Above Lions.

A curious story as illustrating the
difference in courage between a lion
and a Bengal tiger is told by an old

ner. The lion withdrew into a cor
ner and watched the proceedings with
a distrustful and uneasy eye. The
tiger, on the contrary, advanced to
the burning fuse with firm step and
gaze. On reaching the
cracker he took his paw and began
to roll it over the floor, and when 1t
exploded beneath his very nose, he
did not finch, but continued his ex-
animation until perfectly satisfied. The
lion betrayed great fear when he
heard the report of the explosion, and
for quite a time could not be coaxed
out of his den." III an,
