The Lure of Money

James R. Necue, who won and lost fortunes and who played with millions of dollars -as a child would play with a heap of sand, was once asked why, having wealth to satety, he did not give up the game of money grabbing and seek peace, comfort and content ment.
 The answer vouchsafed by Keene may be regarded as that which would be offered by many another man If the same question were put to him.
 "Why do want more money?" said Keene. 'Wby does a dog want an- other rabbit? Your dog will chase the mllllonth rabbit as though 1t were the first he had ever seen. He will strive and strain in the pursuit of 1t to the point of heartbrcak. One might sup pose hls souls life depended on the capture. And yet, should he overtoke it, he will cast it aside when killed and begin quarterlng the ground to start another. To the last gasp of his breath that dog will chase his rabbit. When you tell me why that dog wants another rabbit I'll tell you why l want more money. y."-uarry Turnlss In Strand Magazine.

A temperance lecturer was describ- ing to his audience how his life had been influenced by total abstinence.
 "You know" he said, that am now head of my business.

 DANGER SIGNAL NO. comes from the kidney secretlons. They wi warn you when the kidneys are sick. We'll kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill- smelling urine, full of sediment and irregular of passage.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them perma- nently. Here is proof in the state ment of fellow sufferer.
 Theodore Josephson, 515 Seventh St., Astoria, Oregon, says:
 About five years ago used Doan' Kidney Pills and derived benefit benefit. At that time I was suffer- ing from pains across my back and Joins, often so severe that I was un- able to stoop or sraighten. My kid neys also bothered me a great deal, the secretons generally being too ire quent in passage. At last Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my at tention and procured a box. ] used them and as a result my health is TOW excellent. I take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills now and then, when feeling any sign of backache and they never fail to remove the trouble"

Maternal Instinct,

We talk about maternal instinct" There is no such thing. To be gpre, there arc things that have to do with young which females possess and males lack. The wasp lays It's egg on tho body of the caterpillar for Che larva it will never see. The hen sits twenty one days on any roundish, whihsh ob- ject of the proper size. ] have seen at chndren's party every little girl leave the supper table on the advent oe a baby and every little boy go stolidly on with his supper. But each kind of mother has its own bundle of inshnc- tive reactions. There is no "maternai instinct In the abstract,-McCluDeD Magazine.

ori,i, ef s,,ls.

The origin of seals is lost in the shades of antiquity In AssyriOn and Babylonian ruins seals still arc found, and It is certain that their use passed from those countries to Greece and Rome, to an European countries and from England to America. Originally they were set in rings, The earliest references to them in Biblical history ls found In Genesis XXNvili, where it is recorded that. pending certain nego- tlatious between Judah and Tamar, the widow of his son, Tamar demand ed a pledge and Judah gave her bis slgnet and other belongings And when Ahab, king of Israel, tried to buy Naboth's vineyard and couldn't his wife Jezebc wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal" In Che Book of Esther, chapter viii, 1t is written that King AhOsuerus said to Esther and Mordecai, "Write ye also for the Jews, as it liSeth you, in the kings name and seal 1t with the kings ring, for the writing which is written in the kings name and sealed with his ring may no man reverse"
 Seals doubtless were used long be- fore the stirring events described in the quoted chapter of Genesis, but no one took Che trouble to write about them. From the time of Jeremiah to William the ConQueror the pen was practically unknown to king, noble or peasant. SO the seal was absolutely necessary.-Kansas City Star.

Tho Diamond Romalnu a mystory.
 As a substance the diamond Is one of the mysteries of nature, one of the despairs of science. Nobody knows whence it came or how, whether t is a spark from a comets tall or @ cTys. talllzed drop squeezed in some horri- 'ble intensity Of fiery cOnYulsion from the white hot insurgent heart of che earth. Nobody knows much about it at all, except that 1t doesn't belong to this world. Some known black diG- monds literally were from the skieg. They came imbedded in meteorites cast upon Arizona and Chile by ap unidentified star. One does not pros pect for chips of stars. AS well search for the end of Che rainbow. Neither is 1t practical to hammer all G0ria sof eruptve rock and conglomerate where ever come upon. Earthquake or vol canlc upheaval districts are not neces- sarlly the most promising, for often diamonds that seem to have had vol canic origin occur thousands of miles from the probable place of exrusion, carried thence, it ig assumed, by glacial drift in some far back geOlog- lcal time.-Franllin Clarkin in Every bOdy's Magazine
