Chester Lantern, October 13: Mr..

day the sad news of the death of his
niece, Mrs Brodie Williams, we'll
known in Chester as Miss Reba String

weeks at her home in New Smyrna,
Fla, and was taken for treatment to
a hospital in Daytona, where she pass

Ella Walker, on Wylie street, Tuesday
evening by Rev. A. D. P. Gilmour, D.

w. D. Langston is wanted by the po-
lice on the charge of soliciting money
for magazines which he did not repre-

and the Hampton Columbia Magazine,
he canvassed the town taking sub
scriptions for magazine clubs at great

tained about $3.50 and then pulled out
for part unknown. 1t is thought that
he in no wise represented these mag
azines and that the whole scheme is
fake, as alleged. Langston came here
some three weeks ago with his wife
and obtained board at Mr.. r. l..
Horne's. He left his wife here and 1t

bright appearance. A general alarm
has been sent out by the police for
him.

lsidore In Doubt,

One bright spring day Isidore was
strolling down a street in Bangor on
his way to the steamboat wharf. The
day was fine, and he was at peace with
the world and it's people. Business
was good, and life was sweet in his
mouth.
From this condition he was reused
by a heavy hand laid on his shoulder.
The weight of the hand startled him,
and a single glance at the owner of
the hand banished his happiness. Isl
dore recognized one Of those uncertain
beings, a former buyer, in the person
of giant Penobscot woodsman.
Big" thought Isidore. Like a
house he is big" Clearly this was a
time for diplomacy. Isidore put on a
blank stare.
"Hello!" rumbled the woodsman.
I've been waiting to see you for a
long time. Remember that watch you
sold me last winter?"

voice that he tried to smooth into

he saw disaster approaching, he nerv-
ed himself for a final effort.

the man, as he restrained Isidore with
one hand while with the other he drew
the watch from his pocket.
There it is," he went on, "and you
sold it to me, and you know it. Now,
what I want to say to you is this:
there's wasn't another watch in the
crew of fifty eight men that came any
where near keeping the time that

He replaced the watch in his pocket
and beamed upon Isidore.

bathed him in smiles.

Proud Boast.-President Alderman
of the university of Virginia is a bril-
liant orator and makes it habit to
travel through the country delivering
speeches to the alumni associations of
the institution which he governs. On
one occasion he was making such an
oration and was in the midst Of a
glowing star shaking tribute to the
old students when he stopped and said:

men, that the alumni Of the university

UNCEASING MISERY
YorkviIIe Kidney Sufferers Get Little
Rest or Comfort.

There is little sleep, little rest, little
peace for the sufferer from kidney
trouble. Life is one continual round Of
pain. You can't rest at night with a
bad back, with twinges and "stabs" Of
pain, with annoying urinary disorders,
backaches, lameness and nervousness
You can't be comfortable at work with
darting pains and binding dizzy spells.
Neglect these ailments and serious
troubles follow. Begin using Doan's
Kidney Pills at the first sign Of dis
order You will work better as the
kidneys get better, rest better as your
back grows stronger.

New Years announcements. He had
them printed on thin asbestos and en-

material. AS he was uncertain of the
correct addresses of some of the
stockholders, he ordered his stenogra-
pher to write on each envelope, please

They are such as are made up Of
two parts Of similar form. Look care
fully at these and you will perceive
that the upper halves of the charac-
ters are very little smaller than the
lower halves, so little that, at mere
glance, you would declare them to be
Of equal size. Now turn this page
upside down, and without any careful
looking you will see that the difference
In size is very much exaggerated
that the real top half Of the letter Is
very much smaller than the other half.
1t will be seen by this that there Is a
tendency in the eye to enlarge the up

looks. Thus two circles of unequal
