LITTLE PHILOSOPHERS.

The light of the fireplace mellows the
thoughts and makes more tender the SEN

will do almost anything when there IS the
thinking it over under the influence of
the fireplace lights. People are more
charitable when they are comfortable.
\ human being is much like a gasolene
engine. Sometimes it VIII 60 and some
times it won't. And there are some peo-
pie like the gasoleno engine-nobody
knows what is the matter with them.
Inspiration is the gasolene of the man or
tho woman. Sometimes all they want is
gallon OF gasolene.
Even u squirrel knows what he wants
to do and he will swim 4 mile in order

Every day cannot be a happy DAY. hut
there are some days that are always the
happiest, and they can always be dupli-

RESULTS THAT REMAIN
Are Appreciated by Augusta People


Thousands who suffer from backache
and kidney complaint have tried one
remedy after another, finding only
temporary benefit. This is discour-
aging, but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanently and
there is plenty of proof right here in
Augusta.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was last
ing.
p L. Worsley, 81 Cony St, Augusta,
Me, says: 1T gives me pleasure to say
that | have had little or no kidney
trouble since Doans Kidney Pills cured
me three years ago. For a long time |
suffered from a dull, heavy pain across
the small OF my back and was unable
to straighten The kidney secretions
were highly colored and too frequent IN
passage and when l caught cold, my
trouble was aggravated. l finally pro-

Not "stolen" But Lost"

Hon. George Fred Williams lost his
overcoat and silk hat III the Demoera-
tic convention yesterday. We say
lost" because We seorn the offensive
partisan's rough and ready eXplana-

sible effect of the platform on the del
egates. it is at once charitable and
plausible to suppose that some one of
the 'toiiing millions who happened 10
see his ballot through fearful and
hungry eyes mistook Mr.. Williams s
oveycoat for his ballot. The disap-
pearanee OF a GLOSSY silk hat" during
the confusion attendant upon the adj

tragic significance than the unheraid-

on this question in any form it may

which advocates the overthrow u the
