FiekIens.. In Penmanship.

Speaking of check signatures and forgery, a downtown paying teller re- marked: "One of the most peculiar points in our business is one little com prehended by the public. mean the embarrassment caused by the man whose signature is seldom the same, or nearly so. two weeks in succession.
 ''This dckleness is not intentional. It is in almost every case temperament tai The man guilty of it Is generally nervous and not infrequently is greatly lacking in stability of character. At times you, as a layman, would hardly believe it possible that his signature on two different checks was the work of the same hand.
 ''Of course we come to know these cases in time. and there are always certain characteristics in a persons handwriting which the expert can de tect and which go far to convince. Nevertheless the changeable signature is nuisance and Involves an added pern."-New York Globe.

KEEP THEKIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some Bridgeport People
 Know How to Save It.

Many Bridgeport people take their liyes in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responst- ble for a vast amount of suffering and Ill health, but there is no need to suf- fer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per- manently cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Bridgeport citizens recommendation:
 A. H. Mccarthy. 1866 East Main St., Bridgeport, Conn.,, says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills for years with the best of results and feel that l am in position to recommend them. This remedy is reliable one and acts up to every claim made for 1t. I suffered from a constant aching across the small of my back, accompanied by pains through my Joins and hips. When learned of Doan's Kidney Pills, be- gan their use and found relief. My wife has also taken this remedy for similar troubles and has received the best of results"

How Men md Woman Fac. p..+h

How Men and Women Face Death.
 How do men and women face death when the sentence Is pronounced by the doctor? A medical man tells us his experience. Tell the man of higher type and greater intelligence. he says, that he is facing death and he begins to fight, demands consultation, talks about going to specialists and fights grimly to the finish Tell a woman the same facts, and she lies back to await her fate. All women are fatal- ists. On the other hand, tell a man that he has one chance in a thousand to recover if he will undergo an opera tion. and he will trust to his own strength and endurance rather than undergo the knife. The woman will choose the thousandth chance and sub- init to the operation with astounding calmness.-Woman's Life.
