GOT HIS MONEY.
The New Cspositor Made Quick Work
With His Check Book.

During a financial stringency 3
Swedish farmer In one of the middle
west states had sold some hogs on the
local market and upon receiving his
check in payment Immediately went to
the local bank to realize on his sale.
Upon presentment of the check the
banker said to him, "Do you wish the
money OH this check?'
"Vell, tank yust so veil take him. -
was the quick reply.
"You really want the money!"
"Yah; l tank take the NONE"
"But do you really need the money!
asked the banker.
well, no; l don't exactly need him,
but tank take the NONE"
"Well," said the banker, "if you real
ly want the money Of course l will
give it to you, but l thought If you
did not need 1t perhaps you might open
an account and deposit the money and
then check against 1t as you needed
it,"
Den ven I send my shecks here you
will refuse to pay DEM"
ooh, no, we won't If you open the
account, we will pay your checks
whenever they come in
This seemed assuring to the Swede,
and he said, "vell, If you pays my
shecks, den l open de account" And
the account was opened and passbook
and check book handed to the new GUS
toner.
Half an hour later a close friend of
the new depOsitor appeared at the
cashiers window and presented a
check signed by his friend for the full
amount of the deposit, which was
promptly paid by the banker without
comment.
In about an hour the Swede appear
ed and, walking up to the cashiers
window, handed the banker his check
book minus only one check. with the
remark, "Vell, l don't tank 1 needs
him any more."-Youth's Companion.

AN ISLAND IN THE AIR.
Ono Of the Wonders Of Prehistoric
Pueblo Architecture.

Three miles south of the Mesa En-
cantada, In Mexico, is splendid speci-
men Of fantastic erOsion-an island
sides nearly 400 feet high. seventy
acres In area on the fairly level top,
indented with countless great bays,
notched with dizzy chasms. The great
er part Of the island Overhangs the sea
like huge mushroom. and on the top
stands town which for artistic charm,
chronological interest and romantic his
tory has no peer.
This little town Of Ancoma Is one of
the most perfect types of the prehis-
toric Pueblo architecture. Most of the
houses remain of the type invented
when every house must be fort One

Against enemies armed only with bows
and arrows this was n fair defense.
Comfort had TO be sacrificed to safety.
Nothing except the eagle sought such
inaccessible eyries as these victims Of
their own civilization.
Because they were farmers instead
Of freebooters. because they had homes
instead Of being Migrants, they were
easy TO find, and they We're the prey Of
a hundred nomad tribes. With incon-
ceivable labor this island town in the
air was built and fortified. 1t was
reached only by Il mere trail of toe
holes up the stem of the mushroom"
The age of the island is not known,
except that it was already old in 1910.

wrote an account of its wonders.

DEEDS. NOT WORDS.
owosso People Have Absolute Proof
of Deeds at Homo.

OF OoeoS AT rome.
It's not words, but deeds that prove
| true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
For owosso kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Owosso
people who have been cured to stay
cured.
George T. Evans, sic Grover Street,
Owosso, Mich, says: From my ex-
perience with Doan's Kidney Pills, L am
in a position to recommend them high
ly. Several years ago l was employer
as q delivery man but L finally had to
give up this work as it greatly affected
my kidneys. There were sharp, shoot
| ing pains in my back, often reaching as
far as my shoulder blades and l could
not rest well at night, owing to weak
ness of the kidneys Having Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended, be-
gan their use. The first box brought
great relief and the contents OF two
more cured me-
The above statement was given on
November 3, 1906 and when Mr.. Evans
was interviewed on March Is, 1909 he
said: II can still recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills in the highest terms, and
l am glad to do so. You are at liberty
to refer to me at any time as one who
has taken this remedy with great bene-

Two Bits of Wood.
Importance cannot be reduced to n
matter OF size. The success of piece
OF work may depend on a tiny detail.
Such is the case In regard to that
marvel Of construction, the violin.
Rev. H. j.. Haweis in his MY Musical
Life" tells Of the care and labor eX-
pended on two little pieces of wood
which go To make up the perfect
whole. The sound bar is a strip Of
pine wood running obliquely under the
left foot Of the bridge. A slight mis-
take In its position. looseness or in
equality or roughness OF finish will
produce that hollow, teeth on edge
growl called wolf" 1t takes great
cunning and life Of practical study
to know how long and how thick the
sound bar must be and exactly where
to place 1t in each instrument. The
sound post is little pine prop, like
short bit of cedar pencil. 1t is the
soul Of the violin. and through it pours
all vibrations. Days and weeks are
spent In adjusting the tiny sor"d post.
It's position exhausts the Pr ace Of
the maker and makes the joy or the
misery OF the player.
