TENNYSoN AND SCOTT.
Why the One Did and the Other Didn't
Accept the Laureateship.

when Sir Walter Scott was offered
the laureateShip IN 1918 he declined
the post because. as lie wrote 10 Lady

odes twice u year is difficulty which
no one ought to encounter who has
any poetlcal character TO lose. at least

Whose muse Obliged hy sack or pension.
Without subject or invention.
Must certain words IN order set
As innocent as Gazette.

And utter neither truth nor lies.
TeunysOn received the letter Offering
him the laureateship one morning be-
fore he was out OF bed. On rising he
immediately wrote two replies one ac'
ceptlng. the other declining the offer,
and determined to consult with his
friends at dinner which TO tend. Ever
afterward lie would jokingly declare
that he accepted the honor because

DO 1T NOW
Snow Hill People Should Not Wait
Until II Is Too Late.

The appalling dcath-rate from kidney
disease is due IN most cases TO the fact
that the little kidney troubles are usual
~ neglected until they become serious.
The slight symptoms often give place
to chronic disorders and the sufferer
may slip gradually into some serious
form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches. dizzy spells; if the kidney secre-
tions are irregular of passage and I'M
natural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially for
kidney disorders they act where Others
fail Over one hundred thousand peo-
Pile have recommended them.
Here is one Of many cases in this vi
cinty:
Mrs Oscar Long, Princess Anne. Md.

Pills have been used successfully in my
