VERIFYING His Statement.

-
Old Mr.. and Mrs. Smiley were giving
their annual party, and Mr.. Smiley
was making his usual speech.
For forty years have my good wife
and / travelled hand In hand down life's
thorny path,'' he said. TN all those
years not one single harsh, hasty, I'M
kind word has passed our lips. Isn't

Mother had quietly fallen asleep
on the sofa, and as he laid his hand
caressingly on her shoulder she snorted
defantly and said sharply:
Get up yourself and light the fire,
Sam. I lit it-last, and I'll see you far
enough before I'll do it this morning,
you Oh, oh, I--I-why, I must have
dropped off to sleep!'
"And I think you'd better have
stayed asleep, Lily" Kissed Samuel
into her ear.-London Tit-Bits.

Some Welsh Words.

Welsh is a marvelously expressive
language. In a.souvenir guide to Car
narvon there is "a list of Welsh rail-
way stations with their English equiv
alents. Here are some Of them: Aber-
gwynfi, entrance to the place Of bliss;
Amlwch, a place of frequent expan-
sion; Cefn Brynich, the back Of the
screaking hill; Dowlais, the voice of
God, and Llanbister, the manure yard
road" There is also one station the
name of which runs to fifty-eight let
tiers. It's meaning is merely, 1.-THE
fair church at the pool Of the white
seagull near the alder grove where the
fodder for the oxen is stored in the
red barn." And surely teetotalism
ought to flourish in country where
beer is known as "cwrw."-Pall Mall

ANOTHER GREAT PLAY
''Kid" EIberfeId Redeemed Him.
self After Making Error.
Scrappy Little Third Baseman Made
Sensational Catch of Hot Hit Over
Third Base and Caught Rum
ner at Home Plato.
(By "WID" CONROY.)


The greatest play 1 ever heard OF
was the one "Tacky Tom" Parrot
made when he mistook an English
sparrow for line fly and caught 1t
with one hand after a hard run. But
the greatest ever saw l believe was
one Elberfeld pulled off in game
against New York couple of years
ago.
The game was close and up to the
ninth, the score was tied, and the way
things were breaking it looked as If
we had the better chance to win out
as we were hitting their pitcher hard
er than they were hitting ours. Ell
berfeld was playing third, and in the
ninth inning Of the game New York
got base hit, then kicked one, and
finally the kid kicked one and filled
the bases with no one out. 1t was
Saturday and there was a big crowd
out and everyone in the stands SEEM
ed to cut loose at once to tell me and
the kid what they thought of US as
ball players. They called us every
thing they could think of, and one big
fellow over in the bleachers stood up
and informed me I was disgrace to
the Irish. It just goes to show how
quickly player can turn from hero
to dub in the eyes Of the fans.
The next batter hit the ball hard
and almost over the top of third base.
When he hit it the runners on first
and second were going with the
pitch, but for some reason the runner
on third was late in starting and that
made the play possible. Elberfeld
jumped at the ball and stabbed it
with one hand back of the base. That
might have happened with any field
er. It wasn't the stop itself that
made the play seem so great to me,
but the way Elberfeld acted and

Coffee and FATIGUE,

The question is often asked, What

anything else? Clerks in stores and

the question out and tried every kind

An Architects Ruse.

A story is told of Sir Christopher
Wren, the great English architect who
built the town hall of Windsor, Eng
land: It appears that fidgety mem
Der of the corporation insisted that
the roof required further support and
wished more pillars to be added. Vain
ly did Sir Christopher assure him that
the supposed danger was imaginary.
The alarm became infectious, and the
great architect was finally worried
into adding the. desired columns.
Years rolled on, and in later times,
when architect and patrons had passed
away, cleaning operations on the roof
revealed the fact that the supposed
additional supports did not touch the
roof by a couple Of inches, though this
was imperceptible to the gazers be
low. By this curious @expedient did
Sir Christopher pacify his critics while
indicating his own architectural skill
to future generations.

touched the bag, forcing the runner
coming-up from second, and then
slammed the ball to the plate-and
the catcher tagged out the runner
there and made the double play. That

tenth. -.
Elberfeld had figured as soon as
he got the ball that the only way he
could make double play was back
wards, and knowing the batter was
fast he played to the plate for the
runner who was off to bad start.
He must have had almost half sec
ond in which to figure it out, but he
calculated it perfectly.

 There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to the annoyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of serious kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and
 the most positive proof given that these ills can be cured. Read what Norwich citizen says:
 Mrs. Catherine Goode 99 Thames St., Norwich, Conn.,, says: T suffered for years from kidney trouble, the first symptom being pain and weakness in the small of my back. The kidney se- cretions were unnatural and caused me much annoyance. Spots often ap- peared before my eyes and my health was badly run down. I finally began using Doan's Kidney-Pills, procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store and they did me world of good, strength ening my back and restoring my kid neys to a normal condition.
