 The Bolivian consul general at New York, Senor J. Aguirreacha, in eH- plaining the cause of the rioting at La Paz and the popular feeling against the decision of the Argentina presi- dent in arbitration of the territorial dispute between Peru and Bolivia, said:
 eve accepted Argentina's president as arbitrator because of the close friendship which had existed between that country and my people. For more than four years Senor Don Eliodoro Villazon. who as president elect of Bolivia will assume his official duties on Aug. 6, served as Bolivian minister in Buenos Aires. The most cordial re- lations always have prevailed. Be lleving that we were fully fin the right, our people had prepared to cele- brate the award of arbitration in their favor in connection with the extensive ceremonies arranged for the centen- nial of the first battle for Independence against Spanish domination. Now all our claims, based on justice as they were, seem to have gone for naught.'

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
ThoIr Uncsasins Work Keeps US
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout' gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing. dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.

Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from ther use has proven permanent. l suffered from an acute attack of kidney !rou' hIe and though I used remedy after remedy, I was unable to find relief 1 had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretions.

THE MISFIT FACE.

A certain man, who lived some place was gifted with q misfit face; when Nature built his mug she broke all rules and tried to play joke; of pal red hair he had thatch, his eyes were green and didn't match; his nose was pug. his chin was weak, and freckleS grew on either cheek, and sorrel whls kers fringed his chop, too thin to ever make a crop. And people when they first beheld his countenance, just stop ped and yelled. But when they d known him for q while, and marked his glad and genial smile; when pass ing time had made them wise to all the kindness in those eyes: and when they found that from his face there came no saying mean or base, that misfit mug they'd often scan, and cry: He is handsome man."-Walt Ma son
