W0MEN'S WOES.
Grand Rapids Women are Finding Relief at


1t does seem that women have more
than fair share of the aches and
pains that affiiot humanity, they must
keep up" must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
Stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills.
Kidneys cause more suffering than
any other organ of the body. Keep
the kidneys we'll and health is easily
maintained. Read of a remedy for
kidneys only that helps and cures the
kidneys and is endorsed by people you
know.
Mrs. John Hutchinson, living at 592
Second St., north, Grand Rapids, Wis,
says; II was we'll satisfied with the
results that followed the use of Doan' s
Kidney Pills in my case. For some
time l suffered with headaches, pains
across my iolns and frequent head
aches. l had no strength or ambition
and felt tired and languid all the time.
My kidney Secretions were highly
colored, and deposited a heavy sedi-
ment. A friend advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and / procured a
box. They regulated the action of
the kidneys, strengthened my back
and / felt better in every way in a
short time"

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.
/ am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart-weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
And long for the dear old river,
Where l dreamed my youth away;
For dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in day.
/ am sick of the snowy seeming,
OF life that is half lie;
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
Would go where the children play;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And thinker dies in day.
! can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
o, the little hands too Skillful,
And the child-mind choked with weeds
The daughters heart grown wilful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds!
No. no! from the streets rude hustle,
From trophies of mart and stage,
/ would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream Away;
For dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in day.

Ono Instance, at Least, Il, Which II
Brought No Good.
At the dinner that the Chicago
Press club gave In Edward Payson
Weston's honor, the veteran pedes-
TRAN said of old age:
age is no crime, but you would
think SO from the way some people
try to conceal it. We can give the lie
to age by being gay, vigorous, bouyant,
and 1t is foolish Of us to resent our
burden Of years in any other manner.
1.-THE aged Ben Davies of st. Joseph
resented his years in foolish, crusty,
surly way.
"'Hello, old man Davies!' an elder
~ st. Joseph lawyer said to him one
morning.
"'Old!' Davies snarled. old, hey?
Well, how about yourself? I'm no old
er than you are. What's your earliest
recollection
1.-THE lawyer grinned at old man
Davies and replied:
Well, let me see. Yes, l think
that's it. My earliest recollection is
hearing folks say: There goes old
man Davies.'"
