They soon made me feel better and as
/ kept on taking them, ! became
stronger in every way" tstatemeDt

said; u have every bit as much faith
in Doans Kidney pills today as | did
when / recommended them some years
ago. Whenever / feel backache COM

AWAY IN A MANGER.
tLuther's Carol)
Away III a manger,
No crib for his bed.
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars III the sky,
Looking down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep in the hay.
The cattle are lowing.
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love Thee. Lord Jesus.
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my crib,
Watching my lullaby.
JOY TO THE WORLD.
Joy 10 the world. the Lord is come:
Let earth receive her king;
Let every heart prepare him room.
And heaven and nature sing.
No more let sin and sorrow grow.
Nor thorns invest the ground.
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories Of his righteousness
And wonders of His love.

CHECK FLiMFLAM
Worked Successfully on Portland
Furniture Dealer.

One of the old himham games that is
niture dealer Saturday as he believed
and was ready to admit to the police al.
though he has not yet had an opportuni-
" to ascertain for a certainty that the
check in return for which he gave mer-
chandise and money is absolutely worth
less.
The man with the check, made out by
someone else to him, went into the fur
niture store and purchased nice crib
The check was for SIS The crib was
worth sll.5o but he only wanted to pay S;
down and the rest in weekly installments
of 81. The trade was made, the furniture
dealer gave over the crib and SO in
money in return for the check and a
written contract acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the crib and promising to pay
81 a week for 10 weeks, and the pur-
chaser left. Then the furniture man got
to thinking about the circumstances and
examined the check more closely. He
came to the conclusion that the check
was drawn by the same hand in which
it was endorsed. and that this was also
tne same hand that signed the contract
he had. Then he took his papers to the
police and confided in them. and they
agreed with him that the handwriting
appeared to be the same in the several
instances. But the man had gone with
his crib and $40 and the furniture dealer
could not give a positive description Of
him. He was not even sure that he could
