THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is it.. then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overworlS, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork.--the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work, and there is double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble in the kidneys. An in- fiammation has set in, and a dis ordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.
 Too much or too little urine, with constant desire to void the secre tions; any noticeable deviation from the normal color; the appearance of Q sandy sediment, proves a disordered condition of the kidneys, that needs quick attention.

Jim, crazy drunk--with his two guns lev eled on old Wagonbox Don't yer come near mel" he shouted, the guns still lev eled. The boys noticed through the Win dows they were shaking a trifle. Don yer come near mel" he shouted again, and it sounded like a woman about to cry. 'Ill kill yer if yer take stepl" Old Wagonbox still stood in the door way carelesly rolling another cigar cite and lighting it, though he never took his eyes off Jim a second.
 Then, with a little chuckle of con- tempt: You hound, you couldn't shoot a Chinaman,' he said, and with that started walking slowly down the long reach of the empty dance hall, puffing his cigarette while Jim kept shrieking: Don't come near me. I'll kill yer if yer dol" and his gun webbing worse and worse every second. When Old wagon box got in reach they went flying right and left out of Jim's quivering fingers and the next moment he was boxing the jaws of Jim, while the buffer sank to his knees blubbering like a spanked baby. You should have heard Old Wagonbox growl, as he 1erked him to his feet with a. jolt hard enough to loosen the filings in his teeth: You hit the trail Hear? Hit itl Hit it now and hit it hard, and never show your face here again.

THE DOWNFALL OF MR. JIM SHOWERS Game of Bluff Never Feazed
 "OId Wagonbox" POWER OF PURE NERVE Is Fully Demonstrated in a Little h. cident of Frontier Life-A Nervy Mountalneer of
 Colorado.

From the Denver Field and Farm.
 One of the nerviest mountaineers of Col orado went by tho classic name of Old Wagonbox. because when he first ap- peared in Aspen with his handbag In lSS3 he slept in a wagon box for a whole month for lack of room elsewhere in that hustling mining camp. Old Wagonbox had hardly had time to change his lodg- ings to real bunk in shack before he was known as the nerviest cuss on the shoot on the shoulder, and on the shuffle that ever blew over Independence Pass into the Roaring Fork district and in new mining camps public opinion never makes mistakes about that sort of thing. It is fatal to the fellows with the erroneous opinion.
 When Old Wagonbox said in low. soft voice at faro game, "Gentlemen, they re my chips" and carelessly dropped his right hand by his side-not reaching for his gun exactly, but getting within mighty close calling distance-the lookout case keeper. dealer, and adverse claimant al- ways rendered a verdict in Old Wagon box's favor, and it was instantaneous and unanimous, too. One day Jim Showers, from over Gunntson way, got on a regular Kansas bender, came down the EEK Moun- tain trail into Aspen as full of liquor as a bonded warehouse, and began to shoot up the camp. He proceeded with such neat ness and dispatch that before any one knew it he had the whole crowd locoed and scattered like a bunch of stampeded yearlings.
 Even the sheriff. when he heard that Jim had cleaned out Ben Loeb's dance hall and was holding the fort there against all corners, just gave shiVer and said he had a wife and four childre1 de pendent on him and he wasn't go 6 to commit suicide. Just then along came Old Wagonbox, smoking a cigarette his only vice. You're all nothing but bunch of cowardly coyotes!' he sneered' when he heard about Jim's 1awless pro cedure. 'Iere, take my gun.' he added, handing his Colt to the sheriff. "Id be ashamed to go after such a maverick as Jim Showers with a gun on me-
 With that he walked to the door Of the dance hall, flung 1t wide open and stood there for ten seconds puffing his cigarette while everybody else scattered to one side out of range. Backed against the bar at the far end of the hall stood

 Birmingham Proof.
 Noah Vineyard. living at 1924 Walker street. Birmingham, Ala, says;
 Kidney disease made life miserable for me for long time. My back ached severely; could not stoop without se- were pains through my loins, and at times I suffered so severely that it was all l could do to continue at my work. My kidneys were also in a disordered condi- ton. and their irregular action caused me additional misery. At laat it was my good fortune to leArn Of Doan's Kidney Pills and 1 immediately procured box.
