BOB BURpErTE's BEAR STORY
Tale Reclted by President Roosevelt
Around the Campfire.

They were resting around the Presi-
dents campfire in the Louisiana cane
brake. The dogs were asleep with
the fatigue of the chase, the guides
were lying around feasting their eyes
upon the distinguished guest, and the
president was enjoying the campfire
as a sportsman can.
Boys" he said, did you ever hear
Bob Burdette's bear story?"
"Wah Bob Bu'dette bah huntah?"
asked Guide Ennolds.
Not exactly" the President an
swered. Bob was much drawer man
than bear hunter. He trailed bear
In his youth, but when he grew older
he became brave enough to follow the
lecture platform"
The guides didn't know this last
named beast, but they smoked their
pipes In confidence Of It's terrors.
"Bobs bear story needs Bob to tell
It," the president continued, "but he
isn't here, and I'll rattle around his
shoes a bit. There were two men go
ing through q field. A large and
mean-dispositioned bull waited until
they had gained the middle of the
field, when he set upon them, below
Ing
The two men ran for their lives,
but the bull closed up and began hook
ing at their coat tails. One of the
fugitiyes made for tree and Skinned
into it, while the other took refuge
In hole in the ground.
THE bull made for the man in
the hole. 1t flashed over as he dived
in. He instantly bobbed out again,
the bull made for him, and he bobbed
in and out as the bull shot back and
forth. They kept this up for while,
and the man in the tree yelled:
Why don't ye stay In that hole,
ye dang fool?
The bull was dashing across the
hole with mad roars, and the man was
bobbing in and our desperately, but
he heard the voice from the tree.
Dang fool yerself,' he retorted
breathlessly. 'Thar's a bear in this
holei'"

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Make You Ill, Languid ana
Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of life
giving albumen from the blood into the
urine, and the substitution of poisonous
uric acid that goes broadcast through
the system, sowing the seeds of dis
ease. Loss of aIbumen causes weak
ness, languor. depression. Uric poison
ing causes rheumatic pain, nervous
ness, nausea, cricks in the back, gravel
and kidney stones The proper treat
ment is a kidney treatment and the best
remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great
Wausau cures prove it.
Joseph Wagner, blacksmith, of 10Y
Fourth ST., Wausau, Wis, says: ~

ney Pills every time, having used them
for kidney trouble and backache. Shoe
ing horses is always hard on the back.
Perhaps l caught cold or strained my
self, at any rate my back gave out and
could not stoop to lift horses foot.
My back was so weak that | could
scarcely get my clothing on, and sharp
twinges would strike me and go clear
through me and for the moment / would
think / was being torn apart. When
these darting pains were not catching
me it was dull heavy grinding ache.

consulted doctors, but found no relief
until | got Doan's Kidney Pills at

he must have saved up several thous-

to spend any money for anything
that he could possibly do without,

some incidents which seem to prove
that his money had been found. Nh.
Delaware Powell, an honored citizen
Of Bath, is a nephew Of the miser

uncle. Nh. Powell once went to see
his uncle, and when he reached the
house he found that the old man was
away. Mr.. Delaware Powell was
then only a boy, though he is now
some 70 years OLD. He went right
on in the house, as was lis custom,
knowing how to enter. He got to

it. 1t proved to be an old pot. He
locked at it and saw that it was
half full Of silver and gold. He
carefully placed it back, but told his
uncle Of finding it The pot was
moved at once and its whereabouts
we're never known after that But |

evidently the remains OF fortune
buried several generations ago by old
Dave Powell, VINO once occupied the
place, and who lived the life Of
hermit and was a miser. He lived
all alone in a shack, made his bed
Of straw AMI corn shucks. He raised
cattle and was known to have money.
1t is supposed that someone has dis
covered the hiding place and removed
the treasure.
When old Powell died not cent

pay his burial expenses. Since then
it has been the aim Of many man
and all the adventurous boys to find
the money left by old Dave. Much
time has been spent in the attempt
but old Dawes money remained rest

money stringency in the cold confines
of the earth from which it came.
Old Dave Powell was scared of the
banks and refused to put his nard
