From Nervous Troubles
and Don't Know Whv.

Thousands of cases of Kidney trouble
show few outward symptoms except
nervousness, depression, languor, ir-
ritabiliry and an inclination to worry
over trifes. It is generally due to the
poisonous action of uric acid on blood
and nerves, and can't be cured except
by curing the kidneys. Doan's Kid
uey Pills cure these ills by curing the
kidneys. Lexington women are learn

Man At Various Stages.

At % he thought fate was making
a special effort to keep him down.
At IS he thought he might have done
great things if his wife had not been
such handicap.
AT 40 he believed he would have
been a great man if his children had
not made it necessary for him to cling
to the sure things.
At so he was positive that there was
a conspiracy against him on the part
of his fellow-men.
At go he felt that if he could have

The Man 70 Avoid.

Preserve me from the man who says:
"Well, really, I must go!" =
And who, then, settles down to chat
With me an hour or so.
Preserve me from the man who says:
81 was about to say
That 1 would feel obliged ii you
Would lend me S. today"
Preserve me from the man who treads
Upon my corns to see
If they are painful, then who says:
81 hope you'll pardon me-"
Preserve me frnm the man who tries
Whene'er we chance to meet
To pass ne on both sides at once
And take up all the street.
Preserve me from the man who has
The only kid, and who
Is always telling me about
The things that kid can do.

RICH MAN ELoPEs.
Contractor Disappears With Bride of
an EmplOye.

The sensational elopement Of John
Bellman, rich Flatbush contractor.
with the beautiful young bride of one
of his workmen, Jerken Jensen, was
unfolded in Flatbush court on Mon
day, when the runaway builders des-
titute wife and hungry children, Har-
old, aged nine, and Norman, aged
seven, pitifullJ begged for food to
keep them from starvation. Piece by
piece of the furniture Of Bellman's
handsomely appointed home has been
sacrificed. the weeping mother de-
clared, to keep the wolf from the
door, until the house is now disman-
tied. No word has been received from
Bellman and no provision was made
for his family when ne fled with Mrs.
Jensen. His prosperous business has
been wrecked and his entire funds,
amounting to about S500,OC0, were
drawn from his banks On the eve of
his disappearance.
The weeping woman's pitiful tale Of
how eBellman deserted his family in
his mad .infatuation for the young
1axen-haired Danish girl was heard
by a number Of court attendants.
She confessed her desperate straits
and threatened to kill herself unless
aid was Forthcoming or word was re-
csived from her husband.
One of those who listened to her ap-
peal for help was the deserted young
husband, Jensen. He at once offered
his sympathy, and when the mother
and children were directed to 60 to
the Charity Aid society, in Brooklyn,
be escorted them to that establish
ment.
"Tonight start to find them," Jen-
sen declared. "When do then both
die. Twill kill them for this. TO
leave that fine woman and those boys
is more of crime than stealing my
young wife. He can have her. 1
don't want her any more, except to
see her regret this act.''
