The One to Pay.

Mrs. George Corvallis West, in a
black gown, was one of the most beau
tiful ome present at the recent mar
rage in London of the prime minis
ter's son and the Hon. Sylvia Char.
teris. Lord Elcho's daughter.
The presence of this beautiful
American woman at this political
wedding recalls an anecdote illustra.
tive of her wit In politics.
When she was Lady Randolph
Churchill she consented to electioneer
for Mr.. Ashmead-Bartlett in his first
parliamentary campaign. Mr.. Ash
mead-Bartlett was married to the
Baroness Purdett Coutts, a very rich
woman, who was nearly 40 years his
senior. Lady Randolph, with her
beauty and charms, did splendid work
for the candidate.
To a group of farmers she said one
day: ~ ss
Won't you promise me to vote for
Mr.. Ashmead- Bartlett"
MY lady" said a red-faced farmer
with a chuckle, well all vote for him
If every vote'll be paid for with a
kiss"
Thank you very much" said Lady
Randolph. Your offer is accepted.
I'll send for the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts at once"

Is to cut off the ends of the limbs
usually during the month of August.
The principle involved is that the
aim and object of all life is to per
petuate its kind and in the un-
fruitful tree the same as with any
thing else it's life being in danger
by summer pruning it attempts to
reproduce by forming fruit buds that
1t may reproduce fruit by which it
expects &c perpetuate itself in it's
seedlings. The only object of produc-
Ing fruit with the trse is to produce
seeds. The fruit qualities are devel-
oped by man for his benefit.
The poor wild fruits are for the
purpose of the disseminating of the
seeds by means of the birds and ami
mails who eat fruit and reject the
seed and thus carry them from place
to place, sometimes quite long dis
tances.
If the tree is kept properly trim
med from time of setting there will
be any need to cut off large
limbs. but in cast of old trees that
have been neglected. In cutting off
large limbs do not cut on a line with
the body and as close as o can get
to it, but cut at what is termed the
collar" or at the point where the
limb suddenly enlarges before form
ing the union with the body, and at
right angles with the limb rather
than the body. This is natures
point of pruning and seems to heal
much better than if cut at any
other point.-H. II. Cummins in Ger
State Rural.

ONLY ONE BEST"
American Falls People Give Credit
Where Credit is Due.

People of American Falls who suf-
fer with sick kidneys and bad backs
want a kidney remedy that can be d
pended upon. The best is Doan's kid
ney Pills, a medicine for the kidneys
only, made from pure roots and
herbs, and the only one that is back
ed by cures in American Falls. Here
is American Falls testimony:
Peter F. Toews, American Falls,
Idaho, says: Il was afflicted with
a lame back. accompanied by pains
through my hips and shoulders. 1t
was hard for me to stoop and at
times the twinges in my loins were
so sharp that l could not do any
lifting. The misery kept me awake
at night and when l arose in the
morning 1 felt tired and exhausted.
The secretions from my kidneys wer
unnatural and caused me great an
noyance. l used a number of remed
les, but did not find any relief until
I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and
procured a box. They entirely reliev
ed the pains and regulated the pas
sages of the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills proved very ben
eficial in my case and l am glad to
recommend them"

more men propose on their knees now
