A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body-Make You Ill. Languid and
DeDressed

Depressed.
Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life-giving albumen from the blood
into the urine, and the substitution of
poisonous uric acid that goes broad
cast through the system, sowing the
seeds Of disease. Loss of albumen
causes weakness, languor, depression.
Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain,
nervousness nausea, cricks in the
back. gravel and kidney stones. The
proper treatment IS a kidney treat
ment, and the best remedy is Doan's
Kidney Pills. Great Pendleton cures
prove Il.

Frederick D. Tappan's Story Of Pres
ident's Conference with Bankers
That Resulted in Killing the
Currency Imitation ELI.

"1n 1874 he rendered great serv-
Ice to his country by his veto of the
bill passed by congress for the infla-
tion of the paper currency" So de-
clares standard American encyclo-
pedia in its accounts of Ulysses S.
Grant as president of the United
States and the school histories tell
Young America that one of the no.
table acts of President Grant was
his veto, in 1874, of what was popu.
larly known as the imitation bill.
l have good reason to believe that
the inside history of this famous veto
has escaped chronicling until now.
The man who told me the story-the
late Frederick d. Tappan. for many
years head of the New York clearing
house-assured me that he alone was
in possession of all the facts connect
ed with it.
AT the time of the widespread pan
ic and business depression that fol-
lowed the failure of Jay Cooke in '73,"
said Mr.. Tappan, "a few of New
York's financiers-myself among
them-received word from Washing

History of Famous Grant Veto

that he was in the city; in fact. to all
intents and purposes. he was SNUG
gled into it and also into the Union
League club, where some of us who
were in the little secret arranged to
dine him. partly that we might be
courteous to the head of the nation.
and partly that he might have good
opportunity to hear what every one
had to say regarding the financial sit
uation.
During the meal l sat so near the

carefully the expressions of his face.
able right up to the time for the va
rious remarks to be made; then slow
ly, but none the less surely, there
came over his features an expression
that completely transformed them
that made his face like that of a grav-
en- image.
"One after another those men Of f.
nancial authority spoke their views.
remember that several earnestly ap-
pealed to the president to issue an
order by which the greenbacks. then
withheld from circulation by the sec
retary of the treasury, would be put
Immediately into circulation. One of
these men was particularly emphatic; ;
he professed to be afraid that unless
such relief was afforded the financial
situation. there was danger of riot in
New York and other large centers.
After each of us had had his say
and our views were frequently widely
divergent-Gen. Grant began to ask
questions. He was like an expert
cross-examiner with the financier who
was particularly insistent that the
greenbacks be restored to circulation.

Tuberculosis Death Rates.

The death rate from tuberculosis
among men employed in occupations
exposed to municipal and general or

deaths from consumption among
males exposed to organic dust is 23,
while the percentage for all males

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and We tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in small place on the lower
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. l
used them in the morning and that
evening, before put my boy to bed,
used them again and the improve

Cuticura Ointment, the same. of the

cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had

thor of the so-called horizontal or

most astute, skillful and successful
political strategists that ever sat in
the lower house of congress. 1t was
he, more than any other man, who
brought about the election of John G..
Carlisle as speaker in 1888, when the
then comparatively unknown law
maker from the coal regions Of Ken
lucky had as his opponent for the
great honor Samuel j. Randall, whose
prestige as Democratic leader was
national. and who was little short of
an idol to a large section of his party.
Mr.. Morrison managed Mr.. Car

brought to the room telling Of the
progress OF the caucus.
At last sounds OF violent and en-
thusiastic applause were heard. It
was apparent that the speaker had
been nominated. and whoever was
nominated was to be elected. since
the Democracy controlled the house.
A moment later a messenger rushed
in, presented Mr.. Carlisle with piece

BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Com
pany Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on a sound principle, rather
than money, is best illustrated by the re-
production of the following biographical
sketch s. OF Frederick Mayer, founder of the
f. Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, repro
duced from an issue of the German
American National Alliance:
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac.
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear.
ing his name, came to this country from
Niernstein, Hessen. Darmstadt, in May,
1851, and immediatel, proceeded to Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, where he entered the en-
ploy of X. Suhm as journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the. new. world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1852,
year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only German apprenticed arti-
san knows how. Subsequently a stock of
goods was carried and retail business con-
Quoted until 1880, when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at wholesale to the
trade.
In 1890 the business was well established,
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
well determined. From that time on the
growth was more rapid. The capacity of
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 5000 pair per day, giving en-
ployment to an army of people, paying an
nually over six hundred thousand dollars in
wages, and employing sixty-ive statesmen
who travel "a states in the interest of
Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March 16, 1893,
after building up large and successful
business. He is succeeded by his sons,
George P. Mayer, Fred J. Mayer and Adam
j. Mayer, who, by rigidly maintaining the
policy of the founder, have succeeded in
bringing, the. business up to its present
magnitude, where it stands as a monument
of German thrift and industry.

Leaders Of the confederacy Then First
Began to Realize That Their
Struggle Was Doomed
to Failure.

When did the leaders of the con-
federacy first realize that their at
tempt to establish a new nation was
doomed to failure? That is a ques-
ton that has always interested stu
dents OF our civil war and one which
has been variously answered by not
few confederate leaders themselves.
The venerable Frederick w. Sew
ard. who WAS nearly murdered while
defending his father the night Lin
coin was shot and who was assistant
and acting secretary of state under
Presidents Lincoln. Johnson and
Hayes. told me one day that he almost
invariably put this question to the
many former leaders of the confeder-
acy whom 1t was his good fortune to
meet on terms OF friendship after the
close of the war
'Of course" said Mr.. Seward, who
is now in his eightieth year. the an
swers were widely varied and all of
them were interesting. but l think
the one that interested me most was
that given me by the late George A.
Trenholm. who was secretary of the
treasury for the confederacy from
June of GA on. and who, before then,
ran past our blockade lot of much
needed supplies for the confederacy.
He was one of the most successful
merchants the south ever produced
and he was born and lived in Charles.

Il said to Mr.. Trenholm one day,
after we had come to know each other
as friends. following his pardon by
President Johnson and release from
prison: would like to know just
when it was that you began to despair
of the success of the confederate
cause. Do you mind telling me?'
MIR. Trenholm was silent for a mo-
ment.
II don't know that ! ever thought
of 1t just that way he said at last.
but ! will tell you of an incident that
happened at the time the union army
was preparing for an assault upon
Charleston. and maybe 1t will tell ycu
what you want to know
"'At that time almost all the able
bodied men OF the south. at least Of
the younger men. were in the military
service. The few men OF vigor who
were not in that service were en-
ployed upon the civil side and I was
one of those. When 1t was apparent
that n desperate assault was to be
made upon Charleston. and the union
forces were preparing to plant the

which they expected to lombard
Charleston. everybody who could hold
