THE SACRIFICES OF
A TRULY BIG MAN
Senator William S. Kenyon Who Wis
tied In keokuk Saturday Of
the Right Calibre.

In the career of William S. Kenyon,
United States senator from Iowa,
sacrifices that great men who care
not for wealth nor position. but SER
vice for country, are marked. Sew
eral years ago, Senator Kenyon was
railroads attorney at salary of
$4,000 year. President Taft asked
him to become assistant attorney gen.
eral that that department OF national
government would have worthy Off
cial. Senator Kenyon was willing to
accept the assistant attorney general
ship providing his hands were free
to conduct the office in such man.
ner that he would not be hampered in
his work He sacrificed his railroad
position for one paying salary OF
| $1,000 year-little more than half
the amount received as legal counsel
! for the road he represented.
Senator Kenyon was at one time

carries with it more prominence up.
state than in this part of Iowa. He
has held other high offices and is the
! typical statesman today of which
nothing more could be asked than the
great things he has accomplished in
his span of reputation.

HAS OPENED DRAW
FOR LAST BOAT
James 1. Wilson, Engineer of keokuk
and Hamilton Bridge Company,
Has Resigned After
% Years.
ACCOUNT OF I'LL HEALTH
Served in Days Wien River Traffic
Was Heavy, Often 5000 goats
Passing During the
Year.
ACCOUNT OF ILL HEALTH

No longer will James H. Wilson, the
veteran stationary engineer, stand at
his post in the small house on the
keokuk and Hamilton bridge and
open the draw for passing boats. At
ter more than overweight years OF
continuous service for the bridge
company he has resigned on account
of poor health.
Mr. Wilson, who has now reached
an advanced age, took the position O.
engineer on March s, 1883. In those
days the river traffic was much heav-
Ter than at the present time and the
engineer was busy man 1t was not
iinfrequent for more than three thous-
and boats to pass through the draw
during tho year But there came a
change in this river traffic, and during
the last few years in which Mr. Will
son was in the service his task was
not difficult one. Often only two
or three boats made the trip through
the bridge and frequently the low wat
I er made it impossible even for the
pa helS W opctdlc. IL I'D fou6Hiy cs-
timated that Engineer Wilson has
opened the draw no fewer than TO-
600 times during his twenty-eight
years of service.
John H. Cole, superintendent of the
bridge company. greatly regretted the
resignation of Mr.. Wilson. The rela-
lions between the two men had always
been most cordial and pleasant.

Why | Lost
My Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.

believe my fate is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who
daily lose their places for reasons
they do not know, and probably would
not believe. When their last pay en-
velope comes along. it is usually.
Your services no longer required"
If the truth were known. the reason
for their unceremonious removal
would probably be that their useful
ness was destroyed because of some
mental worry, bodily ailment or gen.
eral indisposition. These things, as
we all know. are the most fruitful
causes of failure in all walks of life.
The battle of Waterloo was lost be-
cause of headache. In this quick
age our minds must be clear, rapid,
active and free from outside influence
or worry, or else we go down to failure
with the throng Of "foaters'' who go
from one place of employment to an
other, giving no satisfaction to others
or to themselves, constantly growing
older and less useful, with no ambi-
ton, no will power, and no hope.
Every man requires from every
other man the best that Is In him. But
no man can use or get the best that is
in himself until he is first free from
all fretful indispositions and worries.
That was my trouble. l was full Of
troubles. That's why lost my Job.
My stomach In the first place was al
ways out of order, and was worrying

Treacherous Trouble

keokuk People Point the Way Out.
Kidney diseases are very dangerous.
They come on silently, gain ground
rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths
that could have been prevented with
proper treatment in the beginning.
Nature gives early warnings of kidney
disease-backache twinges of pain
when STOPPING or lifting, headaches
and urinary disorders. If these symp-
toms are UNDECIDED, there is grave
danger Of dropsy or fatal Bright's dis.
ease. Doan's Kidney Pills have earn
ed a reputation for their effectiveness
in kidney troubles, and are known
and recommended the world over.

of Doan's Kidney Pills to our readers.
