CURE YOUR KIDNEYS

Why will people continue to suffer
the agonies Of kidney complaint, back

headaches, languor, why allow them
selves to become chronic invalids, when
a certain cure is offered thenl2
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use, because it gives to the kidneys
the help they need to perform their
work.
If you have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, cure
yourself now, before diabetes, dro psy

Fourth little early" observed the fat
clubman to his thin brother when the
latter took from his pocketbook what
appeared to be half dozen tiny flags
Fourth of July nothing! I'm going
for weeks fishing"
Where do the flags come in?''
That's where the fish bite, hope -
smiled the thin man. They are flies,
as carefully made as any grayhackle
or Silverton you ever cast"
do you dope it out that the Adiron-
dack trout have taken on a patriotic
streakY asked the fat man, taking one
of the American flag novelties and ex-
amining it. Whose idea?"
''The first one," explained the owner
of the flies. was made for the British
Fly Fishers club and presented to Am
bassador Choate at dinner which the
club gave him. 1t was just conceit.
pretty compliment, and no one
thought of really using the fly. Then
one of the members tried it on the Tay
and got rise after rise for the Amer
lean flag when the fish had scorned
everything else. If British trout will
bite simply out Of their regard for the
new hands-across-the-sea spirit, what
won't the Americans do for their own
emblem? Anyway, I'm going to give
them try. and we'll hope they have

starved and cussed and shivered at
Valley Forge, we went in and give the
British blazes at Yorktown and won
our liberty, and the American eagle is
foppin his wings and askin' fur a
chance to scream. Shall we give it to
him and put our heels on the tyrant's
neck, or shall we loaf around and let
the proud bird Of freedom fly off with
the crows and the tyrant yoke us up
like so many oxen?'
1t was promptly and unanimously
decided to turn the American eagle
loose and knock the tyrant out in the
first round. Cheers were given and
money contributed to accomplish the
same, and the Fourth was celebrated
in Rattlesnake Creek as follows:
/ When the momentous day arrived a
salute was fred at sunrise, and there
was general hilariousness during the
morning, with frequent cheers for
Washington. Benedict Arnold, James
J. Jeffries and others.
At high noon there was another sa-
lutte, and. as one of the citizens re-
marked. most of the bullets were high
balls.
At O'Clock the procession formed
and marched to the grove. There were
general good feeling and whoops for
liberty and the American eagle.
| At 2 o'clock the judge delivered his
address on 'sThe Cradle of Liberty
He also incidentally mentioned that
his store was the only place in Mon
tana where fresh eggs could be had.
I The Balance Of the afternoon was
strictly devoted to the cause of liber

and John L. Sullivan mixed, but it wa.
no time to be. particular.
The fireworks were advertised to be

fuel was being carried to the square
for bonfire. the judge noticed ten

her eyes downcast.

Caryton asked in a low voice as she
opened the gate.

please" she whispered hurriedly. 'sThe
Fourth seems such bold, wild, noisy
time to tell IA thing like this. Wait

The boys are sure to chaff me when

RATTLESNAKE
ON The FOURTH

Ut was Judge Harper's suggestion
that Rattlesnake Creek celebrate
the Fourth of July. The judge ran
the biggest store in town and at
the same time acted as justice Of the
peace when anybody wanted law in
hunks and chunks, and one day in June
be called for public mass meeting.
When the inhabitants had assembled
on the public square he said:
"Feller Citizens The Fourth hain't
