WE'RE BoYs TOGETHER.
Meeting of Russian and Turkish PlenI'
potentiaries to Arrange Peace.

Meeting of Russian and Turkish Pleni-
potentiaries to Arrange Peace.
In the year 1889 the Russians and
Turks, weary of war, commissioned
two Observation-Disclosures the Russian
side Marshal General Keith, on the
side of the Turks the Grand Vizier OF
the Sultan-to make peace. The two
diplamatists met and carried on pro-
tracted negotiations through interpret
erS.
When all was satisfactorily settled
the plenipotentiarie rose to take for
NAL leave Of each other-the marshal
making his bow with his hat in his
hand, and the grand vizier his salaam
with his turban on his head.
These ceremonies Of leave taking
over, the grand vizier suddenly
Strengthened himself and to the mar
shal's utter amazement marched up
to him, gripped him affectionately by
the hand, and in the very broadcast
Scots cried, "Dinna be surprised,
man; I'm .frae the same country as
yourself. Weel I mind seeing you
and your brither, when boys, passing
by to the school at Kirkcaldy."
"Why, who-who are you?" gasped
the marshal, staggering back in his
bewilderment.
II am Grand Vizier to the Sultan Of
Turkey, but-1ny father was bellman
O. Kirkcaldy."

HUNTING EAeLEs NESTS.
Wyoming Ranchman's Effort to Secure
YoUnq Birds for Colorado School.

James Carpenter of Atlantic City,
Wyo., fearless young ranchman, will
undertake the hazardous task of cap
turing nest of young eagles from
cliff several hundred feet high for the
state normal school, This cliff has
long been the home of many bald
eagles, and when Carpenters brother,
a student in the state normal, told him
what was wanted the Wyoming man
decided to get the nest.
Last week he was let down by a
rope 100 feet over the cliff and with
stick in hand beat off the eagles to
find the eggs still in the nest. Next
week he will again go over the cliff
and attempt to bring up the nest of
young eagles.
Prof. Adams, curator of the school,
has discovered an immense nest on
the top of sixty-foot cottonwood on
Crow Creek. 1t is a closed nest and
has been used for probably fifty years,
Prof. Adams says. 1t is four feet
wide, four feet deep and will weigh
several hundred pounds. With men
and ropes it is proposed to remove the
nest intact and place 1t in the school
here.

Asylum Inmate Thought Visitors Ser

Clergyman, with friends, visits au
asylum. An inmate, who fancies he
is a cleric, accosts the clergyman and
expresses his delight at seeing him
there.
II have been looking out for a
brother parson for some time" says
the lunatic, ''as [ have used up all my
old sermons and I don't know what
next to preach. Now, no doubt, you
will be able to help me with few"
The clergyman regrets that, as he
was not aware of such need on the
part of brother cleric, he has come
quite unprepared to meet it, and has
left all his sermons at home. But,
looking at the large number OF in
mates tehn arising under the super
vision of their attendants he tries to
appease the lunatic by saying admir-
ingly: What a fine congregation
you have to preach to-"
EYES," replied the lunatic, there
are plenty here, but between you and
me it is not very intelligent congre-
cation, so I thought your sermons
would be just the thing"

THE ONLY WAY
Many River Falls Citizens Have
Discovered 1t

Just what to do when the kidneys
are affected, is question that con-
Germs both young and old. Weak
kidneys neglected in childhood lead
to lifelong suffering. People of adj
vanced years, with less vitality, suffer
doubly. In youth or age, languor,
backache, urinary irregularity, dizzl-
ness and nervousness make life a
burden.
There is one remedy that acts
directly on the kidneys and cures
these troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills
owe their worldwide fame to the
fact that they cure sick kidneys and
cure them permanently. Follow
the example of this River Falls
citizen and you will be convinced
that this is so.

Timber Cut in 1895 Helps
You to Pay


Yes, strange as it may seem, the
timber that was cleared from this
land lin 1896 and previous years
timber that has been sawed up and
in use for years-helps to give you
this land at far less than it is really
worth.
For these "cut-over" lands belonged
originally to the lumber companies.
They bought them for pine timber,
not for farming. And now they
have gotten the pine timber off, and
that pine timber has paid them a
handsome profit. So they have
turned them over to the American
immigration Co., who are willing to
let this land go for almost nothing
to those that know how to farm it.
A Second growth" of smaller tim
Der has sprung up-and has to be
cleared. But this helps to hold
down the price and makes it pos
sible for you to get the land at
about one-tenth of its worth.

In fact, you can get SO acres of
this land for cash payment OF only
$4,000 and you will be allowed ten
