Wiilinu to Help.

Lord Pauncefote suffered greatly
from rheumatic govt in bis latter days.
and he walked stiffiy and sometimes
had to use two canes. He went one
afternoon TO make call. and he re-
manned quite long time, so long that
the horses got FESTIVE. and the groom
walked them up and down the street.
When Lord Pauncefote left the house
the carriage was not In front, and,
thinking there was some mistake In
his orders, he started to walk to the
embassy. which was only a square or
two. But be had twinges of his. old.
enemy. and the payenents were icy.
He was large, heavily built man.
and he feared fall. While he was
bordering over his dilemma along
came a young man in working clothes,
and the British ambassador, after
courteous salutatiol, asked: my
friend. will you walk beside me and
help me home? 1t Is just short ways,
but | am afraid Of falling. l shall
greatly appreciate it," The young
man looked him over and then said
thickly, "Old gent. am pretty full
myself, but I'll do the best can-the

Imagination is the greatest moving
force in the world In saying this I
am merely repeating remark Of Dis

his conviction will repeat story Mr..
Lowell told me when he was minister

Royal Academy Of Painters to hoF. a
private view Of their pictures before

ing arm in arm with Browning
through the galleries, said, "What
strikes me most forcibly here is the
lack of imagination" and he proceeded
to enlarge upon the power Of magma
ton. declaring it to be the greatest
force in the world. In responding to
a toast at the banquet which followed
the private exhibition he dwelt upon
the wealth of.imagination in evidence
on the walls about him and again ex-
pressed his conviction that magma

Backache is only simple thing at first;

'Tis the the statement OF an Edgerton

Mrs. Louis Bliven, living in the east
ern part of Edgerton, Wis, says, II can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as an
excellent kidney remedy. My husband
complained great deal for many months
of dull pain across the small OF his
back The complaint gradually grew
worse, and the kidneys secretions be-
came unnatural in appearance. He tried
several remedies but did not succeed in
finding relief, until Dosns Kidney Pills
were brought to his attention and pro-
cured at w. G. AtwelPs drug store.After
taking this remedy strictly as directed
for some time, his kidneys were restored
to their normal condition and ne no Ion
ger complained OF his back ache. He is
certain that the great change in is con-
dition is due to the use OF Doan's Kid
ney Pills." %

An independent Miller.

When Frederick built his famous
palace of Sans SOuci there happened
to be mill that greatly hampered him
in the execution Of his plans. and he
asked the miller for how much be
would sell it. The miller replied that
for long series of years his family
had owned the mill, which had passed
from father to son, and that he would
not sell it for any price. The king
used every solicitation, offered to build
him a mill in a better place and pay
him. besides, any sum he might de-
mand. but the obstinate miller still per-
sisted in his determination to preserve
the Inheritance of his ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct. the
king sent for him and said in an an
CRY tone:
"Why do you refuse TO sell your mill
notwithstanding all the advantages
have offered you?"
The miller repeated his reasons
do you know continued the king.
you penny?
EYES, returned the miller calmly. IF
it were not for the chamber of justice
at Berlin
The king was so fiattered by this an,
swer, which showed that be was inca
pable of an act of injustice, that he
dismissed the miller without further
entreaty and changed the plan of his
garden.

A PHILOSOPHERS Fable.

Arthur Auil is responsible for this
one:
Folly. Genius and Common Sense
once went walking and came to
stream Genius. having his head In
the clouds. naturally started to wade
across. paying no attention to the
depth The waters soon went over his
head. and he was drowned. Common
Sense hunted for safe way to get
across. and finally he found a foot log.
AS he got out about the center Of the
stream the log swayed. and be fell into
the water and sank to rise no more.
Folly stopped at the bank of the
stream to amuse himself by throwing
pebbles into the water and watching
the waves. He sat upon the moist.
cold bank until he caught cold which
developed into pneumonia. Of which
he soon died. Moral.-It doesn't make
much difference, after all. whether
you are a genius, a sage or fool.
You'll get it sooner or later anyway"
