A Prophecy That Failed.

The old Emperor William used to tell
a story against himself which well
serves TO illustrate that most gratui-
tous form OF error. prophecy" When
the emperor was only king OF Prussia
he saw one day among his troops an
untidy looking lieutenant. Who is
that MANI" he asked. An officer" he
was told. who has just left the Dan
ish service and joined the Prussian.'
That man will never get on in the
army" said the monarch, and he used
to add in telling the story, The man
was Moltke, and my judgment of him
gives you the measure of my insight.

No REASON FOR IT
When Marietta Citizens
Show the Way

There there can be no just reason
why any reader of this will continue to
suffer the fortunes of an aching back,
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 Marietta
citizen says:
Mrs. NJ. A. Keeling, R. F. D. No. :,
Marietta, Ga, says "a member of NV
family afflicted with a weak and painful
back and had many other symptoms of
kidney disease. This person could not
sleep we'll and was all run down in
health. Doan's Kidney Pills were
finally used and the contents of three
boxes brought great relief. I have not
heard this person complain of kidney
trouble since and I am certain that the
benefit Doan's Kidney Pills brought is
permanent.

sALAMANDER SUPERSTITION.
How the Reptile May Have Got Its
Fireproof Reputation.

There is very ancient belief that
the reptile known as the salamander
is proof against fire. Ii is not known
it will probably always continue to be
held by some people. although it has
been conclusively shown that the ire
proof qualities of the creature exist
only In Imagination.
Dr.. Stejneger. reptilian expert at the
Smithsonian institution. tells a story
which may furnish a reason for the
continuance Of the belief in question.

very surprising. Any ignorant person

Casualties Of the Cradle.

The burden of Prussia's military
state, not spared even to the babes in
their cradles. has proved too much for
some of the younger members of the
royal families. In THE House Of
Hohenzollern" Mr.. Brayey Hodgetts
mentions that the two sons whom the
first crown princess of Prussia bore
her husband lat the beginning of the
eighteenth century, both died in their
cradles, one from a nervous shock
caused by the salute from heavy guns
with which his arrival was heralded
and the other from the burden of
golden. crown which was placed on his
head after baptism.
