They cured me of a case of kidney

and doctors treatment had failed
that I began taking Doan's Kidney
Pills. My kidneys troubled me and

The steady ache in my back was
hard to endure and often I was so
lame that could not walk or stoop.
Doan's Kidney Pills fixed me up in

Monastir Surrenders.

London, Nov. Z. - The Turkish
stronghold of Monastir surrendered to
the Servian troops, according to dis
patch from Belgrade.
The whole of the Sixth Turkish
army corps, commanded by Fethl
Pasha, was stationed at Monastir, and
many Turkish troops fleeing from 9TH
er posts in the province had taken
refuge there. The dispatch does not
say whether or not this great Turkish
army surrendered to the invaders.
Monastir has been the scene OF
many massacres. Half of its popula-
ton of 10000 processes the Christian
faith.
Monastir is an important town in
since within it's confines are large
American missionary institutions and
schools. One of the largest American
institutions in Turkey is the Girls
school, situated in Monastir. Nearby Is
the missionary headquarters. In the
cities of Monastir and Salonika more
than 100000 of American funds is
invested for educating the Turks.
The Turkish public Is astonished
and dumfounded at the repeated Turk
ish reverses. 1t is now recognized on
all sides that the end has come.
The Mussulman population of the
towns along the Dardanelles, although
depressed, maintains calm. Some anti
Greek incidents Of small Importance
are reported to have occurred in the
outlying villages.
According to a dispatch from Sofia,
Bulgaria, the Turkish losses in killed
and wounded during the five days of
fighting in the vicinity of Lule-Burgas
and Bunarhissar are estimated at U.s.
900 men.
The Bulgarians captured thirty
seven batteries of quick-fring guns
and took 1000 prisoners. They also
seized four locomotives and 243 rail-
road cars.
The remnants Of the Turkish army
have now reached the last ditch in
European Turkey.

A Story That illustrates Their Won.
derful Intelligence.
Dogs on the trail often display intel
iigence that seems almost human. On
one occasion remember l was driving
q team of dogs down the Yukon river
and had one dog in the team called
Tommy, who was a good dog In his
way, but who showed a strong dislike
to being harnessed-to such an extent
that in the morning, when all the other
dogs were hitched to the sleigh, Tommy
would hide himself under a cabin or
bury himself in the snow.
This continued for several mornings,
and beating him seemed to have no eff
feet. One morning, however, the team
had been standing in the cold waiting
for Master Tommy. l finally discov-
cred him hiding under the roots of a
tree, and as soon as l came In sight,
dragging the dog, the entire team, NOV
"a by a common impulse, bounded to-
ward me and at once administered 4
terrible thrashing to Tommy.
finally rescued him from his angry
companions, and after that Tommy
was always the first to put his head
Ia the collar in answer to my whistle.
