DEEDS, NOT WORDS
Stafford Springs People Have Absolute
 Proof of Deeds at Home.

Stafford Springs People Have Absolute
 Proof of Deeds at Home.
 It's not words but deeds that prove true merit.
 The deeds of Doan's Kindey Pills.
 For Stafford Springs kidney suf. ferers,
 Have made their local reputation.
 Proof lies in the testimony of Stafford Springs people.
 Mrs. M. G. Converse, E. Main St. Stafford Springs, says: "For long time I suffered from backache and had about despaired of getting relief. To my surprise and delight, Doan's Kidney Pills acted effectively as soon as I began taking them and soon made me feel like different person. An. other of our family suffered for long time from kidney trouble. This complaint caused loss of rest. Nothing brought relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were procured at the Eaton Drug Store. The pain and lameness was removed and the other symptoms of kidney trouble left. .''
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills - the same that Mrs. Converse had. Foster Milburn Co., Props. Buffalo, N. Y.

AonaA of kha Huns.

The Huns have probably their near est actual European descendants in the Bulgarians. It is a mistake to look for them in Hungary. The Ogre or Ungri, better known as the Mag vars. have very little to do with the Huns. But one conjectured deriva- tion of the word "ogre" is from the Ugri, through confusion of them with the Huns. 1t seems more probable, however. that "ogre'' should be traced through Spanish and Italian to the Latin Orcus-at first the god of the dead, and afterward in Romanesque folklore shaggy, man eating monster of the woods.-London Chronicle.

There Is n man who frum ver. early age has lived In countries "h"re Spanish Is the almost universal tongue
 From force of this trainins he speaks Spanish perfectly He has i"t U" slightest trace of an English arsrnt
 and persons who do not know that he is of American percentage are willing to believe be Is Spaniard merely from hearing him talk He Is so per fectiy bilingual that it shows even in bis gestures. When talking with Eng
 lish speaking persons he sits quietly and does his conversing with his mouth alone. Only in case of making a point most emphatically does he use a gesture. But the moment he drops into Spanish his every word Is accom-
 panied by a movement of the hands or arms It Is interesting to watch the change from the English to the span ish side of him. because 1t comes so suddenly. He really can't speak Span ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.
