The discussion of this matter Of mat
ing calls to mind the fact that away
back in colonial DAYS the fair young
naidens of Virginia petitioned the gov
ernor to restrain the widows of that
colony from the chase and capture Of
the eligible young men, which is proof
that the girls did not get into the hunt
in those days. The advice of the elder
Weller, "Samivel. beware Of the 'vid-
ders.' came along a century or two
later. and probably would not have
been any more effective then than it
is now.
Owing to the fact that the ROose-
veltian era is drawing to a close. an
appeal to the president would do no
good in the settlement of this vexed
matrimonial question, and as congress
is now at war with the executive. it
viii no doubt be impossible to get a
law through regulating the size of fam
lilies. In the meantime. more crank
bills will be introduced in various parts
of the country.

PoosEVELT's REQUEST.

Congress has a chance to block one
game of President Roosevelt. 1t seems
that not long ago the executive wrote
a letter to Speaker Cannon, in which he
stated that as he was about to retire
to private life, he desired to take GER
tain articles OF furniture from the
White House as souvenirs of his
reign" and that Mrs. Roosevelt had
her heart set upon securing a certain
sofa of considerable value which she
thought would look well in the best
room" at Oyster Bay.
The communication to the speaker
was not marked personal" and that
individual turned it over to the house
committee on appropriations, of which
Tawney Of Minnesota is chairman, and
the matter became public at once. The
president wrote that 1T was customary
for his predecessors to cart away furni-
ture, but it is asserted by senator's and
representatives that no record of such
procedure can be found.
It is said that no action will be taken
in the matter by either branch of con-
gress prior to the departure of the
Roosevelts from the White House, but
pains have been taken at the capitol
to ascertain the cost of the articles in
question. If the executive mansion is
not looted, probably nothing will be
said or done should the pieces of fur
niture be carried away.

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick kidneys Weaken the Whole
B0dy-Make Ysu Weak, Languid
and Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life-glving albumen from the blood
into the urine, and the substitution
of poisonous uric acid that goes
broadcast through the system, sowing
the seeds of disease. Loss of albumen
causes weakness, languor, depression.
Uric poisoning causes rheumatic
pain, nervousness, nausea, cricks in
the back, gravel and kidney stones.
The proper treatment is = kidney
treatment, and the best remedy is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is good
proof in the following testimonial:
G L McElveen, s Church St,
Manning, S c, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills proved to be the best kidney
remedy l ever used. My kidneys
were weak for some time and too
frequent passages of the sec-etions
caused ME to arise often during the
night. l suffered severely from back
aches and pains through my loins
and at times | was so lame that /
could not stoop or lift. l finally read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and pro-
cured a box. Since using them, my

The indications are that the reun-
ion at Memphis this year will be one
of the largest in the history of this
organization.
The various camps throughout the
State have already elected delegates
and alternates, but it is certain that
a large number of veterans other than
those who will be official members of
the convention will attend the gath
ering.
A feature of the annual reunion of
Confederate veterans which is, per-
haps, most interesting to the general
public as we'll as the most enjoyable,
is to see "the boys who wore the
gray" in tie parade when thousan DIS
march side by side as they did when
they were fighting the battles with
the Yankees in the sixties. This
big parade will take place in Mem.
phis this year,and the South Carolina
division will take conspicuous part.
