When the kidneys are sick they give
unmistakable warnings that should not
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffer-

Two Little stories.

There is a little story in the memoir
of Sir Charles Bunbury which may
well be remembered among the strange
tales Of kings. When Humboldt was
at the Tuileries for the last time in
1sii and was about to take leave
Louis Philippe said 10 him: Tell my
good brother the king of Prussia that
| am very firm here. | am very pop
ular. All France is at my feet. The
kings of Europe may sleep soundly. for
there viii be no more revolutions In
little more than two months Louis
Philippe was fugitive.
Another story in this volume which
has its touching side concerns Sir
George Napier, the fine soldier After
the battle of Toulouse a group Of Eng
lish officers were petting a French dog,
whose owner had taught him to accept
food only when it was offered with the
right hand. But Sir George had to Of
fer crust with his left hand because
he had no other. The dog looked at
him steadily for moment-and took 1t.

A SAD DEATH.
FRIEND.

Our little town was brought under
cloud of sadness last Friday morn
Ing by the announcement Of the deaf
of little John Joseph, the only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Birdsong.
Though but two months old the
bright little fellow had embodied
himself in the tenderest affections
of the parents, grand parents and
relatives, and because of it's parents
it had attracted the attention and
then won the affection of a large cir
Gle of friends.
The little fellow was seen on the
streets Thursday afternoon and re
sponded to the loving caresses OF
fond parents that night, but with the
dawn of a new day it was in the
clutches of congestion and though il
fought with remarkable vitality aided
by the best of nursing and medica,
attention it lost the fight and at ]
o'clock Friday morning the little spir
it winged it's flight from this suffer
ing world to the realms of bliss in
the presence of the God who loaned
it for a season to brighten the lives
of father, mother, and friends.
The little body was laid to rest il

to pour the balm of Gilead into the il
