latter kept the even gait he had taken at
the start, but the Briton looked certain

tress. But in the 22d mile it appeared
that Shrubb had run himself out and be
dropped to q walk. After that be could

One AntI-Japanese Sin Passed.

The California assembly last week
killed three OF the anti-Japanese bills,
but passed the bill compelling Japanese
10 attend separate schools BY a vote Of 4s
to 70. Later. in response to q direct APP
peal from the speaker, who urged the I'M
friendly attitude Of Japan IL che measure
passed, and the national complications
that might result. the bill was reconsid-
cred and will come up again. President
Roosevelt has represented By telegraph in
an emphatic way the violation oi treaty
rights that Japan would be sure to claim,
which claim the administration would re-
gard as valid. He also urged California
to let the federal government try its hand
little longer in restricting the incoming

Nevada has been put to sleep in the Sem
ate. Bills are in both the Oregon and
California legislatures asking for the ex-
clusion of all Asiatics, Jsps included.

That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition of the kidneys and bladder.
1t is only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing the cause of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of arrangement Of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and I'M
mistakable indications of a more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, NERVES on edge" Sleep
1essness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine. inflammation Of
the bladder and passages, etc.

DOUBTFUL BLISS.

WHILE drinking in the solitude,
w Far from the haunts of men,
We rather think perhaps we'd like
To see those haunts again,
For grandeur pales when naught assails
Our eyes but gray and green
If no companion is at hand
To help enjoy the scene.
Far from the city's blare and smoke
We think we'd like to stray,
To hold communion with the skies
And while the time away.
But when we come to try it out,
To dabble in the joys,
Far, far away from any one,
We long for human noise.
When touching elbows with the crowd
We turn away and froWn
If some one deigns to speak to us
Or pause to call him down.
But out upon the yellow plain,
Far from the din and roar,
We'd go a mile to speak to n
We never saw before.
When we can fill an easy chair
It's very fine to dream
About a lonely. quiet nook
Beside a sylvan stream,
But when we sit for half q day
With not a soul in view
We think we'd like to see a man
To tell our troubles to.

lowing plan Of a Cleveland man to
beautify streets is Of timely interest:
Secretary Moore of the park depart
mcnt believes that residence streets
with lawns between the sidewalk and

beds and that if the city of Cleveland
would aid the scheme by distributing
as many seeds as possible free of
cost some systematic flower planting
scheme could be carried out on the
residence streets of the city. Park
Engineer S%tinchcomb declares that he
would not favor the use Of flowers in
place Of the ordinary grass plots I'm.

planting is adopted on each street. He
suggests that a street with a solid

plant would make a very good appear.
