How can you manage all alone,
Mr.. Young?"
His large. almost girlish eyes rested
on her for moment before he re.

and gentlest Of voices.
"Oh, l get along pretty we'll with

Sheldon said when Young had gone

Young. Only three years ago. when
he first got the Minerva. he was lying
in SUI, on Malaita. There are a lot
of returned Queenslanders there-a
rough crowd. They planned to get
his head. The son of their chief, old
One Eyed Billy. had recruited on
Lunga and died Of dysentery. That
meant that a white mans head was
owing to Suu-any white man. it
didn't matter who, so long as they got
the head. And Young was only lad
and they made sure to get his easily.
They decoyed his whaleboat ashore
with promise of recruits and killed
all hands. At the same instant the
SUI gang that was on board the Mi.
nerva jumped Young. He was just
preparing a dynamite stick for fish.
and he lighted it and tossed it in
among them. One can't get him to
talk about it, but the fuse was short.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through
the kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys filter the blood, They work
night and day. When healthy they re.
move about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left In the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nesvous-
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders OF the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility. drowsiness, dfopsy, deposits in
the URN, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with your
kidneys.
Mrs. Ella Moore, 203 w. Market St.,
Johnson City, Tenn, says: II got a
supply of Doan's Kidney Pills from the
Whitehouse Drug Co. when / was suffer-
ing from backache, caused by my kid
neys. This remedy soon relieved me and
proved of benefit in every way. Another

SAYS He DESIRES HARMONY
Senator Yet in Doubt-Probable
Attitude of Shelby and Hamil-
ton Delegations Interesting

Nashville, Dec. 30.-The with
drawal today of Representative
elect Thos. Wiseman, jr., of Moore
county, floated from the Sixteenth
district composed of Bedford, Lin
coin and Moore counties, leaves
only one regular" democrat in
the race for speaker of the house
of representatives. The recent
withdrawal of Representative
elect John F. Hall, of Henderson
county, from this contest, left
only one independent democrat
in the race, Representative-elect
A. NJ. Leach, of Montgomery
county. The contest for the
house speakership, therefore, is
now between Mr.. Leach, as the
fusion candidate, and Mr.. Beasley
as the regular" democratic cam
democratic candidate.
Which faction will organize
the house? This is the para
mount question today in legisla-
tive circles as it has been for
many days past.
Notwithstanding the with
drawal of Mr.. Wiseman from the
speakership contest, the "reg-
ular F" democrats of the house are
preparing to hold a caucus to Sc
lect their candidates for the 9TH
er offices within the gift of the
house-clerkships, sergeants-at-
arms and the like. Circulation
of the caucus call was commenced
this morning. The call is in the
hands of Mr.. Wiseman. At IL: 80

teen signatures. The call is for

No call for regular y DEM

been put into circulation. What
will be done in his direction yet

which is causing more or less

pursued by the Shelby and Ham
lton county delegations, with
eference to the " regular" dem

LIVED WITH HOLE
IN HIS SKULL.

Jonesboro, Dec. 31-Mark Ford,
demented negro, died one mile
west of Jonesboro, as the result
of being struck on the back of the
head by a local freight train,
west bound.
A few days ago Ford cut his
own throat with barlow knife,
presumably in an effort to commit
suicide. Members of his family
interfered.
When the engine struck him it
made a hole through his skull,
but in spite of this he lived about
twenty-four hours.

they are each the most logical point

they clamor about the money posi-
