Keep the Kidneys Well.
Health is Worth Saving and Some
Washburn People Know how
to Save it.

Many washburn people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of
suffering and i'll health, but there is
no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all deceases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly al permanently cured
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is Washburn citizens recon
incubation.
Mrs. P. Doyle, Third St., Wash
burn Wis.,, says: I had trouble
from my kidneys for several years.
1t began with slight pain across
the small of my back which increased
in severity and persistently until l
was seldom free from the misery.
Later on I noticed that the kidney
secretions were unnatural and ire
gular in action. There was also a
soreness around my kidneys most
of the time. I recently went to
Sweets Drug Store, got Doan's Kid
ney Pills and began using them. ]

pain in my beck or any trouble from

AN INGENIOUS SWINDLER.
The Daring Scheme That Was Worked
by a German Doctor.

The Daring Scheme That Was Worked
by a German Doctor.
Near q small village in one of the
lake states lived a western millionaire
In seclusion with his little daughter
and few servants. The child was af-
flicted with q rare cerebro spinal COM
plant, q most unpleasant manifesto
ton of which was a frequent hic-
cough, and eminent physicians, both
In America and Europe, had pronounc-
ed the case organic and incurable.
Later there came to live in the VII
lage a widow with little girl affected
similar to the millionaire's daughter.
This child was delicate, flower faced
creature, wistful from the isolation
that must have been her sad lot, and
the peculiar bark-like hiccough which
she made at once attracted the mil
lionaire's attention, and, being a big
hearted If rather ignorant man, he
gave the mother employment about his
home and showered the afflicted child
with presents.
Perhaps four months after the Wild
owls advent an eccentric German doc
tor settled in the village, and. his serv-
ices being sought by the widow, he
gave her child treatment, with the re-
suit that it was completely cured.
The Millionaire Immediately sought to
place his own daughter under the
Germans care, but the latter fatty re-
fused to take the case. He was a
Socialist of violent type and would
have nothing to do with a man whose
wealth exceeded the sum that he had
fixed upon as the lawful limit Of ma
terial possession.
Finally, however, after the father
had patiently borne the grossest in
suits the German agreed to give the
afflicted child treatment on condition
that the other would first deed over a
large tract of hand in Texas for So
cialist colony and pay him for his fee
sum little short Of $4,000. This the
millionaire did, but as soon as the doe
tor had cashed the check he disappear
ed with the widow and her child, and
the wealthy man realized that, blinded
by paternal love, he had been made the
victim of an ingenious swindle.
The flower faced girl Of the widow
had been taught to simulate a disease,
and the German was no doubt her
father Re was subsequently located
In Buenos Aires, but he injured man,
not wishing his daughters affection

- Graf Won ~
Blumen SchloSs.

copyright, 1908. by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
Did l ever tell you how l was hon.
ored by an invitation from the emperor
and empress and was thereby made
part Of Berlin society? No? Well, I'll
tell you now.
While in Vienna l was invited to
state ball at the palace. My partner
for the cotillon was young German,
Graf Won Blumen-Schloss. He was
handsome, refined and of noble bear
Ing. His social position was Of the
very best not only from his personal
tty, but because he represented one Of
the oldest families Of Prussia. 1 was
an untitled American whose father had
been a pork packer and whose hus-
band was manufacturer Of shoes.
Nevertheless Graf Won Blumen-Schloss
treated me with as much attention as
II had been a duchess. When with
me no attraction elsewhere could in
duce him to desist from listening to
what I had to say to him or to suspend
for a moment his attentive gaze upon
my face. True, was then young and
had some good looks, but 1 knew it
was not who held his attention, but q
courtesy inherited from a long line Of
mobiles. Besides, when he was with
other women he was apparently quite
as much wrapped In them.
He wore an army uniform and on
his breast several decorations. I did
not know what they represented, but
understood that one of them had
been bestowed upon him for bravery
In battle. I think I should have fallen
in love with him If had been single
and given an opportunity. But I did
not see him again while In Vienna, and
shortly afterward we len for America
Two or three years after this, while
in Philadelphia, stopping at one Of the
finest hotels in that city, on entering
an elevator one evening to go up to
my rooms / was ushered in by man
wearing the hotel uniform. There was
something about him that was familiar
to me. The uniform Of a servant SEEM
ed to resolve itself into that Of an
army officer I heard the strains Of
dance music and was whirling In the
german cotillon. 1 raised my glance
to the servants face. Could / believe
It? He was the Graf Won Blumen-

Birds Muscular Power.

Birds are possessed Of enormous
muscular power, far exceeding in some
cases that Of any other warm blooded
creature. There is an instance on rec
ord of an eagle weighing no more than
fourteen pounds lifting and carrying
off a young pig which weighed no less
than forty-two pounds. How many
men could even stagger along the
ground carrying three times their own
weight 'in their hands? The kick of
an ostrich is a fearsome thing. II
will break mans thigh or even the
leg of a horse.-Exchange.

Clionino Their Winus.

The costume of'the Pu Yuan Pen-jen
women in the Sham states is very strik-
ing, consi ing of a cloth hood, an open
jacket and a pair Of short white trou-
sers reacl ing barely to the knee. But
the most important though the least
noticeable part of their costume is their
colored clt tn CATERS. These the women
are obliged to wear. as without them
it is believed they would be able to ny
away, leaving their husbands and
sweethearts sorrowful.

Word was received the latter
part of last week of the death of
Grandpa NeSbit in California,
where he had gone to live with
his son. He was about ninety
years old and in many ways was
a remarkable man, retaining his
sight and memory to a degree
that was astonishing. By his
quiet, sober Christian life he won
the respect of the people of the
community. For many years he
was a shoemaker and was very
active at his trade even after his
eightieth birthday had been pass
ed. He was a kind, peaceable
neighbor and was very loyal of
the church and principles of
Christianity, and his every day
life led one to believe that his
professions were true and hon
est. After the death of his wife
last November he went to Cali
fornia to spend his few remain
ing days with his son, in which
place he remained until his death
a week or so ago. The body was
laid to rest in cemetery at Los
Angeles.
