 Thousands who suffer from back ache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finGing only temporary benefit. This is discourag- ing, but there is one kidney medicine that has earned a reputation for last ing results and there is plenty proof of its merit right here in Prescott. Here is the testimony of one who used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago, and now makes his testimony even stronger.

Learning to Say mo" Pleasantly.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Many a man in private affairs or in
public ONCE creates needless complica-
tons because he Is unwilling or unable
to return the soothing. diplomatic an
swer that turneth away wrath. and to de-
cline request with certain unctuous
graciousness that almost robs it Of the
sense of negation.
Often it is not the mo- that bafiled i'm
portunity resents-ft Is the way the no
is uttered. The nat refusal is somehow
made to sound as though its peremptori-
the refuser no lingering regret. The as
tute, tactful. clever person knows how
to temper the wind to the one whose
plea must be rejected. There is a blend
ing OF kindness and firmness that pours
Oil on troubled waters. Resentment is
disarmed and opposition lulled to rest by
the placating syllables OF the terms in
which the refusal is couched.
Many strong resOlute characters utterly
repudiate such conciliatory tactics as
weak and effeminate. They believe in
"blurting it right OUT when they have
reached an inf1exible decision: in saying
what they think. in striking from the
shoulder. in being positive. fortnight and
blunt. 1t sounds Napoleonic, heroic, mas
terful. but. a matter of fact, these per-
sons OF Homeric or Saxon outspokenness
often have to lean upon the services of
others, In affairs that require any deli
cacy or conciliatory courtesy. The man
of incorporating and rigid austerity
is admirable. but sometimes he makes
virtue odious: he does nothing immoral
If he discloses human sympathes and a
generous Willingness to consider an op-
posing point of view before it's final refu-
tation at his hands.

RECENT SALES SHOW
UPTOWN LAND VALUES.
Fourteenth Street Properties
Bring From Eighty Cents to

Recent transactions in property on 14th
street just north Of Florida avenue has
called attention to that locality, especially
as to the course Of land values and
what appears to be the current market
rate for unimproved property. For the
largest Of the transactions referred to-
namely. the sale of the Barber property
on Clifton street, extending from 18th to
14th street. while it included the large
residence that stands on this acreage
plot, still the value of the house itself
did not enter into the consideration and
for that reason it may be looked upon
as unimproved property.
The other piece comprises large 'front.'
age at the southwest corner of 14th and
Fairmont streets. extending along the
former street 140 feet and along the latter
20 feet. The total area is 81, 800 square
feet and is entirely without improve
ments. The Barber property has 1868
square feet. For the first named the con-
sideration is said to have been little
over a dollar per foot, while for the
Barber tract the per foot price was
nearly so cents.
1t is interesting to note also that in
both cases the use proposed for these
large building sites is not for individual
houses. but is for apartment houses.

Cunning in Art.
II the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
We have heard so much about graft
and dishonesty and the shame Of our
cities" that many of us firmly believe
that ours is the wickedest of the nations
of the earth. To destroy a myth is a
thankless task, for people believe what
they want to believe and are apt to resent
any attempt to rob them of their pleas
ure and satisfaction in SO doing. Never
theless some of us are glad to learn from
time to time that graft and cunning are
not unknown in the older countries nor
in the older of the noble families.
Some time ago an American millionaire
coveted a noble painting by Raphael that
hung in the gallery Of princely Italian
home. The family refused to part with
1t. declaring that the government would
not allow the priceless treasure to leave
the country. But the millionaire deter
mined to buy it, and then the owner Of
fered to paint a snow scene over the can
vas and ship it to New York, where 1t
could be cleaned and restored. This was
done but the cleaners used turpentine,
which removed not only the snow scene
but the Raphael painting well. and
revealed fine portrait of Marconi UNDER
meath.

The primitive type Of men persisting,

In the little Suffolk town Of Brandon the

scendants Of the Neolithic makers Of
stone axes and arrowheads. They make
gun fints and finder flints, for which
there Is still a considerable demand in
North Africa, the Kongo basin and some
parts of Asia and South America, and
the tool used by them in quarrying flint
from the chalk is a single pointed pick
almost identical in shape with the picks
made of red deer's antIers found in the
prehistoric quarries at Grimes Graves.
The Brandon knappers are adopts at
making axes, arrowheads and other stone
implements. which are difficult to dis
tinguish from genuine prehistoric relics.
One Of them lately succeeded in making
a ring OF flint, a thing no one is known
to have done since the stone age in

undertakes to supply facsimile models in

F rom the Wide World.


The wonderful ingenuity and patience of
the Chinaman are well shown by the skill
full way in which he has trained the cor
morant to fish for him. The bird is taken
when young and then with infinite care
taught to catch fish for its owners. A
metal ring is placed round its neck, fitting
close enough to prevent it from swallow
ing the larger fish, yet sufficiently loose
to allow the small ones to pass down its
throat-its reward for working. A sort of
harness Is rugged about the body OF the
bird. by means of which IL is lowered into
the sea and lifted out again into the boat.
A cord OF spruce fiber about a dozen feet
in length prevents the bird from straying
too far. while II also enables the fisher
men to control and guide it's movements.
The fishing is always done at night, and
this Is the reason why II 10 difficult to

Instances Where Speech and Hearing

From London ,I1t-bfts
The recent case of Miss Lily Curl of
Ashford. Kent. who. after being deaf
and dumb for tWenty-one years. is slow

brother, who drowned himself in the
Stour, being regarded as responsible for
the miraculous recovery-is by no means
an isolated example. OF shock succeeding
where doctors have failed.
Some time ago the narrow escape of a
boy from drowning off North Shields
fish quay had a remarkable sequel. While
efforts were being made to restore the
apparently drowned boy to consciousness
by means OF artificial respiration a man
named Thomas Cummings, who had been
deprived Of speech two years earlier, as
the result Of an accident, pushed through
the crowd merely out of curiosity AS
soon as he saw the PROSTATE boy, al
though not in any way related to him,
the sight gave him such a shock that his
