to insure the election of John w. Kern

be elected to that position with very

counted on as strongly Republican, re-

WANTED SATAN SENT NORTH
Good Example of Scottish Humor in
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.

Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous, and l always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang Of a little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south Of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on &C
count Of slight mishap mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with a Salvation
Arms officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
AYE, aye" mused Andra, after CIV
ing the desired information, yell be
for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?"
yes, my man." was the reply;
I'm bound for Aberdeen-a very
wicked place, I'm told"
What MIGHT ye be goin' to dae
there, sir, if it's as bad as a. that?"
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah," was the pious answer, I'm
going to drive the devil out Of Aber-
deem"
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort:-
See an drive him north, chiel;
baud him well to the north!"-Ex-

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water to Keep Healthy,
Says Well-knoWn
Authority.


1.-THE numerous cases of kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing OF water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood They must
be made to strain out Of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so 1t will no longer be q
source Of irritation to the bladder, and,
most Of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking well IN bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the
water. Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and SIM
PIE prescription should be posted up

Back to the Wild.

There was a time when all dogs
we're wild and when what we call
wolves were different from other dogs
only as collie now is different from
a Newfoundland, for instance. From
time to time you will hear Of dogs
that have returned to the life of their
ancestors and have run wild with the
wolves of the prairie or of the woods.
In the town of Sandy in Oregon a
greyhound one night made the acqain-
lance Of coyote, which Is kind of
wolf, and ever since he has lived
coyotes and approaching human dwell
ing-places only to steal a hen or two
when he has been more than usually
hungry.

Thanks giving.

Let us be thankful-not only because
Since last our universal thanks were
told
We have grown greater in the worlds ap-
plause
And fortunes newer smiles surpass the
old
But thankful for all things that come as
aims
From out the open hand of Providence;
The winter clouds and storms-the sum-
mer calms-
dolence,
Let us be thankful-thankfuI for the
prayers
Whose gracious answers were long. long
Delayed
That tley might fall upon us unawares.
And bless US, as in greater need, we
prayed.
Let US pc thankful for the loyal hand
That love held out in welcome to our
own
When love and only love could under
The need of touches we had never
known.
Let us be thankful for the longing eyes
That gave their secret to US as they
wept,
Yet In return found, with sweet sur
prise,
Loves touch upon their lids, and, smil-
ing slept.
And let Us, too, be thankful that the tears
OF sorrow have not all been drained
away.
That through them still, for all the COM
ing years,
We may look on the dead face of to-

men ever dared to be. And besides,
even the men couldn't vote then, so
what authority is he on sufrage?"
Naturally, this dispute could not be
ended then and there. Hiram futile
found 1t necessary to stop at Lucy
Finch's gate several mornings and
bring up some new argument that had
occurred to him, only to be enectually
squelched by Lucy's wit and wisdom.
And from that 1t became necessary for
him to drop in of evenings once OF

not long until he, with mans fore
sight, saw that this debate could not
be ended for years, SO he proposed to
Lucy. Now, when a man proposes to
a woman he has his ears set for just
one woodland that is Yes"
Therefore imagine Hiram Tuttle's
surprise and establishment when Lucy
told him NO"
And naturally, he asked her why she
wouldn't marry him. Men always do
that. AS If woman could have
reason!
Also, when man gets the proposal
habit he cannot shake 1t or break 1t.
So Hiram grew to going around to
Lucys and asking her to marry him
every Wednesday and Sunday even
ing. Lucy enjoyed this.

Lucy on the Sunday evening before

thing to justify such state of
mind.

Thrown from her carriage when the
horse attached to it became frightened
and ran away at 31st and DeVereaux
streets on Sunday afternoon, Mrs
Christina Crump, 45 years old, of No

about the chest that she died a short

justly celebrated ahair Of Paris and
Helen seem like a business transac-
ton in comparison, then their names
would be Hector Montmorency de
BGauVille and Imogene TereVersham,
Or something to that effect.
But this Is simply little story caught
IN real life-just such an affair as Is
going on right under your nose and
IN your own town at this moment So
If you prefer the rhetorical wooing
Of Hector Montmorency de BeauVflle
and the no less rhapsodical counter
wooing of Imogene Tereyersham, dear
reader, read no further.
There were Hiram futile, Lucy
Finch, turkey and a suffrage ques-
ton. Three of these were tangible
IN the beginning, although Hector and
Lucy were a great deal older than
the turkey at the start The suffrage
question, know, is as old as the hills
and bids fair to become as everlast-
Ing.
In due time the woman's suffrage
propaganda reached Millville. Several
prominent suffragists descended upon
the town IN an automobile, and made
speeches from that vehicle right in
the middle Of the public square of
Saturday afternoon. Ten years ago
all the women In Millville would have
said that those speakers were man
n1sh, now they said they were exactly
right. Ten years ago all the mea in
MiIlvtlle, bulwarked behind their
chews OF plug tobacco, would have
denounced those invaders as unwom-
anly and have classed them with DR..
Mary Walker and Belva Lockwood
Now the men just chuckled to them
selves and said the women ought to
have the baIlot-if they eould get 1t.
While these women were speaking,
Hiram futile, having came down town
to lay in his Sunday supply of bacon,
eggs, coffee, -four and other bachelor
provender, found himself listening to
them-and right beside him stood
Lucy Finch. Now. do not gather the
notion that Hiram was grabbed old
bachelor nor that Lucy was a wiz
ened old maid. Lucy was more than
3O-but nowadays a woman who has
passed 80 is just beginning to be good
looking. Hiram wasn't grabbed at
all; he was pleasant enough-but the
way he dressed himself was enough
to make any woman wish she had a
chance to take hold of him and spruce
him up. 1t is all nonsense to say that
woman is impressed and Influenced by
mans appearance. What attracts
her nine times out of ten is the pos
sfbility Of improving his appearance
So it happened that Hiram and Lucy
walked away from the speaking to-
gether, and Hiram found himself, for
