A STORY OF MILLIONS.
The Way One Man Had a Fortune
Thrust Upon Him,

A story is told of how the reluctant
giving of promissory note by a penni-
less New York lawyer brought a for
tune into his pocket amounting to sew
eral millions. The man referred to.
John NJ. BiXby, went to New York f.
1880 from backwOods district as
half starved lawyer. To pay 81 week
for board and washing kept him on the
verge of bankruptcy. He struggled on
for q year or two and was constantly
seeking odd jobs outside of the law to
enable him to exist when n fri2IA!ly
lawyer in whose Office he had dcsi;
room called him aside one day.
''IIere is a chance for you, BiXby"
said the lawyer Il have an estate T.
settle and must get rid Of the farm or
the north side of the city. 1t is up-
praised at 5000. You can have it r.
that figure"
Il have not dollar to my name.
exclaimed Bixby.
"YOu can give me your note, and ]
will renew it until you get ready -
pay it." replied the lawyer.
The young man hesitated for some
time. He was very nervous about plac
ing himself under obligation for 50
large a sum, but finally consented
Young BiXby had to ask for the re
newal of his note two or three times
had to deprive himself Of the neceset
ties of life to hold the farm until til,
opening of the Erie canal and the frs
lighting of the city by gas gave til,
metropolis new birth and his farm
was quickly swallowed in the growth
At the time Of his death BiXby's prop
erty was worth S7.OOOOOO Today it

Before backache becomes chronic;
Before serious urinary troubles

Doan's Kidney Pills will do this.
Here is Smyrna testimony to
prove it.
Vernon L. Phillips, painter, living
on Main ST., Smyrna, Del. says:
81 know that Doan's Kidney Pills
will do all that is claimed for them
and l am always glad of an oppor-
tunity to recommend this remedy to
kidney sufferers. About five years
ago my kidneys became very much
disordered and seemed to break
down all at once. My back began
to ache terrible and at times felt
as though it were breaking apart.
The kidney action was weak and
irregular and caused much annoyance
and embarrassment. A friend
induced me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills and l procured box at Clifton
& Raymond's Pharmacy. This
remedy helped me from the first, l
continued using it and in an short
time the troubles were entirely
removed. l would not be without
Doan's Kidney Pills in the house as
they never fail to relieve backache
and correct kidney or bladder
troubles. "

OUR TINE STANDARDS.
The Four Sections That Divide the
United States.


EvSry nation has it's own time stand
Erd, but the United States has four.
These time sections, as they are called,
were introduced in the year 1888,
chiefly for the benefit of the railroads,
and are known as the eastern, central,
mountain and Pacific. The eastern
section extends from the Atlantic coast
to an irregular line drawn from De-
troit to Charleston. S. c.: the central
includes all between this line and an
other extending from Bismarck. y D..
to the mouth of the Rio erase river:
the mountain extends from here to the
western boundary of Montana, Idaho.
Utah and Arizona, and the Sacific in
cludes all the remainder of the coun-
try to the Pacific coast.
The difference in time between ad-
Joining sections is one hour, so that
when it is u o'clock in New York city
it is II o'clock at Chicago. ~ o'clock at
Denver and 0 o'clock at San Francisco.
The true local time of any place is
slower or faster than the standard
time, according as the place is west
or east of the time meridian. Thus the
local time at Boston is sixteen minutes
faster than eastern standard time
while at Buffalo it is sixteen minutes
slower.-Harpers Weekly.

Il Would FIatter Man.

Few men have deserved and few
have won higher praise in an epitaph
than the following, which was writer
by Lord Byron on the tomb of his dead
Newfoundland:
''Near this spot are deposited the re
mains of one who possessed beauty
without vanity, strength without inso-
lence, courage without ferocity and all
the virtues Of man without his vices.
This praise, which would be unmean-
ing fiattery if inscribed over human
ashes, is but just tribute to the mem
ory of BOatswain. dog who was born
at Newfoundland May 3, 1903, and died
at Newstead abbey Nov. IS, 1908"

WINNING A COAT.
The Clever Scheme That Was Worked
by a French Thief.

by a French Thief.
A Frenchman had been attending the
ComeIie Franchise, and af1er the per-
foYmance he took a gloomy byway in
order to make Il short cut to the Bou-
leVard MOntmartre. He noticed as he
FASTENED through the dark a slight tug
on his coattail. but to this he paid ho
attention. When he reached the bright
boulevard. however, he found. to his
great modification. that one tail of his
clawhammer coat had been cut off.
He notified Il journalist of his loss. and
the next morning an account of the
old theft appeared in the Figaro. That
afternoon a man in a blue uniform
called on him.
Il come. monsieur" the man said
from the bureau of police. We have
captured Il suspicious character who
had in his pocket a piece Of fine black
cloth. Let me have your mutilated
coat, sir. If the piece fits it, we will
know that we have apprehended the
man who robbed you"
The other surrendered his coat, and
from that day to this he heard no Iaore
about it. The pretended official was.
of course. the thief. who had adopted
that aduaciOus means Of getting til,
coat in order to attach to it the pur
lOined tail.

The Oldest Iurv.

The oldest Greek poet has left us a
picture of what the jury was in his
time. The primitive court is sitting,
and the question is guilty" or mot
guilty" The old men of the commu.
nifty give their opinions in turn. The
adjudicating democracy, the commons,
standing round about. applaud the
opinions which strike them most. and
the applause determines the decision.
Such was probably the earliest form Of
Jury.
