the pains at times extending to his
shoulder blades and the back of his
head. The secretions from the kidneys
were too frequent, highly colored, and
contained sediment. After moving here,
he procured Doan's Kidneya Pills and
they were the first remedy that ever

Gardens Flourish on the Housetops Of
Florence, Italy.
There still exists in Italian cities q
life OF the roofs that is distinct and
characteristic and of which the mere
foreigner and tourist Is entirely un,
aware. Particularly is this the case in
Florence. Mount to the top floor of
one Of these grim, big palaces standing
In some gloomy. sunless street often
approached by stern, forbidding door
way and dark, steep stairs, and you
will hold your breath with wonder at
the surprise that awaits you. for here
before your eyes stretches an unfa-
niliar city, a red and green city of
wide expanse and varying attitudes, a
city no less INTELLECTUALLY beautiful
than the one you have left below and
enllvened, too, most unexpectedly by
verdure
In the very heart of the city, on its
topmost apex. there is no trace of
CRIME. The air is pure and whole
some. Indeed, its breezes are charged
with no small suggestion Of sea and
mountain breath. AS for the smoke
one would expect to find hanging above
the roofs of densely populated city, it
is conspicuous by its absence, and only
at the hour of meals does some faint
blue column rise for the briefest space
into the atmospheric Zimmern's

sign years contract on account of
the hot water they will get into if the

people do here. The average New York

| diseases and during a period of I'M
consciousness which had lasted since
Saturday afternoon.
News of the seriousness of the i'll
ness of the senator was kept from the
public as much as possible, and his
death came as surprise to his thou
sands of friends residing in this city.
Only the more intimate friends Of the
family were aware Of his critical con-
dition.
No arrangements for the funeral
have yet been made.
Senator Allison was born at Perry,
o., March 2, 1929, the son of John and
Mary Allison. His boyhood days he
spent on the farm. He secured his
education in Allegheny college, in
Pennsylvania, and the Western Re-
serve college in Ohio. In 1857 he re-
moved to Dubuque, where he took up
the practice of law.
Senator Allison was a delegate to
the Republican state convention in
1859 and to the national Republican
convention, in Chicago, in 1860. In
1853 he was elected to congress and
served continuously until 1871. In
1873 he was elected United States
senator from Iowa and represented his
state in this capacity until the time
Of his death
He was candidate for the Republi-

title of Father of the Senate" He
was not only one of the oldest men
in that body, but he held the record
