 Well, that's jes' the same as us" Polly told him, with an air of conde scension, "only eircuses draws more people an churches.
 Yours does seem to be a more pop 1 ular form of entertainment" Douglas answered dryly. He WAS beginning to i feel that there were many tricks in the entertainment trade which he had not mastered. And, after all, what was his preaching but an effort at entertain ment? If he failed to hold his eongre gation by what he was saying, hls lis teners grew drowsy and his sermon fell short of its desired effect It was true that his position and hers had points of similarity She was appar- entity successful As for himself he could not be sure. He knew he tried very hard and that sometimes Il tired mother or sad faced child looked up at him with 4 smile that made the service seem worth while
 Polly mistook the pastors reyerie for envy. and her tender heart was quick to find consolation for him

 1t doesn't make much difference about the show Douglas began but he was quickly interrupted
 That's right; it's jes' the same with a circus. One year you give 'em the rottenest kind of thing an they eat 1t up; the next year you hand 'em a knockout. an it's a frost Is that the way it Is with church show"

FARMERS UNION
 CONVENTION.
Date for Convention Has Been
 Set For August 6.9.

Little Rock will get the next : State convention of the Arkansas Farmers Union, and, in addition, will get the cotton school, which is maintained each year by that organization, for the summer of 1909. The State convention will be held August 0, :, 8 and 9, and the cotton school will open July Is and continue until August 28.
 It is expected to make the com- ing convention one of the most important yet held. So far as known no new movements will be started, but the organization will work to perfect certain lines now in contemplation or partial ly carried out, particularly with reference to the warehousing and l financing of the cotton. It IS expected to have an attendance of not less than 500 members of the union at the August meeting.
 In speaking of the probable work of the convention leading member of the organization said yesterday that the great proposi- ton with the union now IS to perfect its sales department. We have labored under the im- pression that all that was neces- Sary Tn order to carry out our plans was to build warehouses and store our cotton,' lie said. "fhis IS only part of the scheme, and by itself if means very little. The real proposition is to perfect the sales agencies, so that when We want to turn loose we will have system about 1t. Hold ing cotton does not amount to anything unless you have the other end-the selling end-care- fully provided for. With a cap able sales agent in charge of every warehouse to work in CO., operation with the State or dis triet sales manager, and back of th1s proper the money or credit backing to care for all distressed cotton, the Farmers Union will have plan that will get results. The details of this system have moi been completed, and the eem- ing convention will, in my opin- ion, be engaged chiefly with the solution of what yet remains of this problem. .
 The cotton school, which IS to open July Is, will be i'll charge of J. Alston Glapp, all experienced cotton man, and who has had charge of the cotton schools for the past three years, the schools having heretofore been carried on at Conway. The. real parpose of ti1e school is to properly equip men for handling the warehouses and taking care of the cotton shipments. Cotton grading and classification is taught, as we'll as the process of shipping, in all it's details. The work of the school heretofore has been unl- tormly successful and has en- couraged the organization to maintain it permanently. Ex- change.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that Is why the cures are always lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause back ache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Springdale people testify to per- manent cures.
 A. NJ. Lewis, retired, living in the northern part of Springdale, Ark, says: "I strongly endorse Doan's Kidney Pills for l know that they do all that is claimed for them.

SISTERS TRICK.
But IT All Came Out Riant.

How sister played trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee fiend
is an interesting tale:
Il was coffee fiend-a trembling
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. | Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of piping hot Postum for my
morning cup of coffee but did not tell
ME what it was. | noticed the rich
ness of it and remarked that the cof-
fee tasted fine but my sister did not
tell me | was drinking Postum for
fear | might not take any more.
She kept the secret and kept Civ
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
| grew stronger, more tireless, got
better color in my sallow cheeks
and a clearness to my eyes, then she
told me of the health giving, nerve
strengthening, life saver she had Civ
en- ME in place of my morning cof-
fee. From that time | became a dis
ciple of Postum and no words can do
Justice in telling the good this cereal
drink did me. | will not try to tell
it, for only after having used it can
one be convinced of its merits.

stroyed. There's Reason"
