Hundreds More in Piiic Bluff ill the
 Same Plight.
 Tired all the time;
 Weary and worn out night and day;
 Back aches; head aches.
 Your kidneys are probably weaken ed.
 You should help them at their work.
 Let one who knows tell you how.
 Mrs. Minnie Grean, SO6 Main street, Pine Bluff, says: Some time ago l felt that my kidneys weren't in good shape. I had a steady, dull ache in my back and sweeping or lifting any, thing was almost impossible. I felt worn-out and tired and had awful headaches. Dizzy spells and specks before my eyes bothered me and my sight often blurred. had great deal of trouble from the kidney secretions, too. So many people had used Doan's Kidney Pills with such good results, that I got box at seawelrs Drug Store. After taking few doses, I could see a change for the better. I used two boxes in all and I have never felt the least pain in my back since and my kid neys have acted as they should"

TWO ODD OPTICAL ILLUSIONS
Three Circles Seem to Chase Each Other in Same Direction-Wire
 Hoops Are Quite PuzzIing.

Tbere are some tricks that can he played on a persons eyes which are pure illusions. Hold this paper foot or more from your eyes and turn it gently round to the right or left in small circles, keeping your eyes fixed on the three rings.
 AS you move the paper round like the hands Of watch you will find that the rings in these circles seem to chase each other in the same direction, and the longer and more intently you look at it the faster they go.
 Circles can be made with spokes in them which to some persons seem to

 Here is another curious optical illu- sion that has puzzled a great many persons who have tried to account for it:
 If we suppose these to represent wire hoops, which of them is nearest you, A or B? The answer is that it is the one you first make up your mind is nearest you. But now if you look steadily at it for few moments your eyes will get tired of that idea and will suddenly shift that hoop to the farthest away from you, in spite of your wishing to keep it as it was, and

THE SAW ESAU SAW

"Esau sawed wood. Esau Wood would saw wood. All the wood that Esau Wood saw, Esau Wood would saw. In other words, all the wood Esau saw to saw Esau sought to saw. All the wood Wood would saw! And, oh! the woodsaw with which Wood would saw wood. But one day Woods woodsaw would saw no wood, and thus the wood Wood sawed was not the wood Wood would saw if Woods woodsaw would saw wood. Now, Wood would saw wood with woodsaw that would saw wood. So Esau sought a saw that would saw wood, and one day Esau saw a saw saw wood as no other woodsaw would saw wood. In fact, of all the wood. saws Wood ever saw saw wood, Wood never saw woodsaw that would saw wood as that wood. saw Wood saw would saw wood, and so I saw Esau Wood saw wood with the woodsaw Wood saw saw wood"

Memories of Savages.

Few scholars of our boasted civiliza- tfcn have memories equal to those of some savage priests who can call off the ancestors of their gods through hundreds of generations without omit ting or misplacing a single name. In his complex religious ceremonials and in the arts of war and the chase the savage displays an intelligence quite equal to our own in breadth and depth, although of an entirely different kind.

TURTLES WERE DUCK BLIND
In Barrel Below Snappers Were Con-
cealed Birds Being Shipped In
Violation Of Law.

There are persons who take
swapping turtle seriously, and, de-
spite his i'll nature and tendency to
remove pink little fingers, learn his
peculiarities and read his inncrmost
appetites. One of the latter is John
B. Thompson, federal inspector un-
der the migratory bird law, and he
knows mighty we'll that no turtle
will cat ice in any circumstances,
says a st. Louis (Mo.) dispatch to
New York Herald.
Recently FIVE barrels of live snap
ping turtles arrived ut the Union sta
tion, consigned to purvcyors to the
restaurant trade. Now, turtle is not
i migratory bird. The barrels were
hlled in with ice, and Inspector
Thompson could see the turtles
stamping their feet, blowing into
Their hands, throwing their shells up
around their nccks, and making
every possible effort to keep comfort
able in the intense cold.
''There is something in those bar
rels,' said Inspector Thompson, adj
dressing no one, "besides turtles. |
shall forthwith look into this matter,
barrel by barrel" This he did while
the snappers whistlcd through their
teeth to indicate that the heating
arrangements were not as advertised.
In the bottom of the barrels 81
wild ducks, bound and gagged, were
going whittier they knew not. 1t is
the closed season on migratory birds
and tie ducks ceased to migrate i'm.
mcdiatcly.
