 Sn1elIino Out Eeis.

Along the coast of Normandy, in France, dogs are sometimes employed in fishing by a few of the elder fisher women. One of the latter. armed with a basket on her left shoulder and on the other pickax with a very long handle. closely followed by her dog, wanders along the shore until she comes to a place where the sand runs for a considerable distance into the body of the rocks Here the surface Is usually broken by number of little mounds at low water. On seeing these the dog becomes excited and runs back and forth, smelling of the little hillocks. In a moment he will begin to scratch and whine like terrier on watch at q rat hole.
 On hearing this the woman rushes toward the animal, brandlshing her pickax. On reaching the spot she looks which way the hole runs and then begins tearing up the sand with her implement. After half dozen vigorous strokes out tumbles conger ell which is quickly picked up and flung with great force on the hard sand. stunning the creature. after which 1t is put into the basket and :he fishing resumed.-Boston Post

A Novel Claim.

A claim once made on the explorer Cameron in the neighborhood of Ga boon. Africa, shows the peculiar work ings of the native Africans mind. Some of Cameron's possessions proved unduly attractive to a native. and he determined on transferring the owner. ship to himself He accordingly paid another native $200 to procure for him the coveted goods. The assistant took the money and did his best to earn It. but MT. Cameron had perversely lock- ed up the very articles that the si- lows employer had set his heart upcn. The man could not carry out his oar- gain. and neither did he feel that ne could part with the money. Therefore he ran of with 1t. What more log1cai than that the man who was the loser by 5000 should expect the explorer to make the loss good? This he assurediy did expect He went to Mfr. Cameron and told him the story. demanding Tn .fhe first place the $200 which he (Cameron, by locking up his goods had compelled the complainant to lose and' secondly. the actual price of the goods themselves, which but for these aroi- trary measures would now have been in his possession It is not stated tnas his expectations were realized

A Good Reason
Putnam People Can Tell You
 Why It Is So

Deans Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that is why the cures are always lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause back ache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Putnam people testify to permanent cures.
 Mrs. Dennis Gady, of 6s School st., Putnam, Conn.,, says: "For three or four years my husband had severe pains in the small of his back which prevented him from sleeping well at night X day or two before d storm he alwayS noticed that the pains were worse, and when he caught cold the trouble was also greatly aggrav ated. Added 10 this there was an annoying difficulty from the kidney tsecretions. He used many remedies but got no re- lief uutil he began taking Doan's Kid ney Pills, procured at Dresser's drug store. Their use stopped the kidney difficulty and banished the back aches.
