WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because It's For One Thing Only
 Newport People Appre-

 Nothing can be good for every thing.
 Doing one thing we'll brings success.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.
 For weak or disordered kid neys.
 Here is reliable evidence of their worth.
 Mrs. B. F. Owens, Magness, Arkansas, says: "One of our family complained a great deal of dull pain in the small of the back. Dizzy spells were common especially in the morning. The kidney secretions were too un- natural. Hearing Doan's Kid ney Pills highly recommended, a box was procured. They made a cure."

The Child Against the Man.

'N SAa~aN SihN 4Vioti. Does child labor create pover- ty? Dr. A. J. McKelway, of Virginia, discusses this question in the last Child Labor Bulletin. and concludes that child labor reduces the wages of adults. He cites figures concerning the wages of 32, ,4O9 operatives in southern cotton mills, and says "the wages of the adult are measured by the wages that will satisfy the child-worker or his parents. The manufacturer be- lieves in equal pay for equal work, and it is a very profitable doctrine in keeping down the wage scale"
 The article was called forth by certain statements made by Mr. George F. Stratton in the "Outlook' of September 20th concerning the indifference of child labor reforms to the pover- .ty of parents. Dr. MckelWay believes that if a million chil- dren under sixteen could be talk en out of industry in the United States it would lead to an in crease in the wages of adults. This is so clearly recognized by the employers of labor that it is difficult to find any of the com mercial organs that is not in- stinctively opposed to child la bor reform on the ground that it hurts business. "
 As positive evidence of the good results of restricting child labor, Dr. McKelWay quotes a statement made by Mr. Hugh Frayne, of the Federation of La bor and formerly of the Penn sylvania Labor Department, con- corning the little chap picking out slate in coal breaker, help- ing father who sorely needs help" MT. Frayne says: One of the objections made to rals- ing the age limit of boys in the coal mines of Pennsylvania sey- eral years ago, was the cry that parents needed the help that came from the earnings of the
 boys, but the laws were adopted
 just the same. Today the con-
 dition of the average miners family is far better than former l ly when the youngsters worked as soon as they were large enough to hold their seats on the breakers and pick out the Jumps
 of slate. The objections that came from the parents have beer silenced forever."-Fort Smith Times-Record.

Passing from the cloister through the great arched doorway leading to the hlgn-roofed refectory, she had stopped at the sight of number of people gathered near the entrance At first she had merely glanced at them; then started, as. in the somewhat dim light prevailing there. her eyes be came fixed upon one Of their number.
 Obviously prisoner. he stood in the center of the group. with head down-bent. hard, indifferent expres. sion on his countenance. Amazed, the girl was about to step forward to ad- dress him-or the commandant-when Beppo appeared from the cloister, walked toward the officer, and, in a low ill-humored tone, said something she could not hear. Whatever it was. the commandant caused him to repeat 1t; made a gesture to the soldiers. who drew back, and spoke himself to the prisoner. The latter did not reply nor raise his eyes, and the comman- dant laid heavy hand on his shoul. der, whereupon the prisoner moved forward mechanically. through the doorway.
 You are sure his Excellency said 'alone'?" asked the commandant.
 As sure as have ears" answered Beppo.
 But her ladyship-see. She is walking after him"
 Beppo shrugged his shoulders. She always does what she pleases; no or. ders apply to her"
 In the shadow of the cloister roof at corner where the double row of pillars met, the girl paused; looked out through the columns, her hand at her breast. The Governor was un- concernedly writing; not even when 1 the prisoner stepped forward did he l turn from his occupation: at his lei sure dotted an "i" and crossed a "t:" sprinkled sand lightly over the paper: waited a moment; then tapped the fine particles from the letter.

 His face half-covered by his hand, the Governor gazed at them: the girl, straight, slender, infexibly poised; the prisoner eyeing her with dark. unvarying glance.
