SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray
And bent with the chill Of the winters day.
The street wet with a recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the thropg
Of human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad with the freedom of school let out,
Come the boys, like flock ofsheep,
Hailing the snow piled white aud deep;
Past the woman, SO old and gray, @r@
fastened the children on their way
Nor offered helping hand to her,
So meek, SO tmid, afraid to stir.
Lest the carriage wheels or horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last Of the merry troop,
The gayest 1addie of all the group.
He paused beside her and whispered low,
ell help you across if you wish to CO."
Her aged hand on his strong young
She placed. And so without hurt or harm
He guided her trembling feet along,
Proud that his were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went
His young heart happy and we'll content.
ashes somebody's mother, boys you know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand,
eff ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear son is far away"
And somebody's mother bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
Was, "God be kind to that noble boy
Who is somebody's and pride and JOY"

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
RIVER FALLS PEOPLE SHOULD
LEARN To DETECT The
APPROACH Or KIDNEY
TROUBLE

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation
of scalding The back aches con-
stantly, headaches and dizzy spells
may occur and the victim is often
weighed down by feeling of Ian
guor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of
dropsy, Bright's disease or diabetes
Any one of these symptoms is
warning enough to begin treating
the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy
than Doan's kidney pills. Here's
River Falls proof:
H. N. Wiger, Second ST., River
Falls, Wis, says: 81 have used
Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for
about a year. [ was subject to
spells of backache and the kidney
secretions were unnatural, leading
me to believe that I had kidney
trouble. I decided to try good
kidney medicine and procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at r. S. Free

remedy proved to be just the one l
required. When / feel that my
kidneys need toning up, use
