WHY IS CANAAN FIRM?
Because Its Citizens Have Learned
 the Truth.

After reading this generous and en- couraging report from Mr. Kane those who have the misfortune to suffer, as he did, will naturally long to get re- lief. But to get the same good as MT. Kane had, you should get the same remedy. There are of course, other kidney pills but there are no other kid ney pills the same as Doan's. That is why Canaan people demand the genu- inc.
 John Kane, Reed st., Canaan, says: My kidneys were weak and I was caused annoyance by too frequent pas sages of the kidney secretions. My back pained me and whenever stopped or lifted, the trouble was worse, finally got Doan's Kidney Pills at R. T. Farnum & Go. s Drug Store and af- ter using them, the pain in my back ceased and my kidneys became normal. :"

Many Sultans.

We shall, no doubt, go on speaking of the head of the Ottoman empire as ..the sultan" just as though there were only one. We have always said "thc sultan," ignoring Morocco, Zanzibar and various minor potentates in Arabia and the Persian gulf who call them selves sultans. The title is understood to carry a wider territorial significance than "emir." It is much like "em- peror" in relation to king" But 1t may be noted that the Turkish em- peror's own subjects do not call him the sultan, but the padishah Gather of monarchs). Our forefathers used to speak of him as the grand seignior.- London Opinion.

old Time Motor Omnibus.

The type of motor omnibus first used In Paris was a steam driven vehicle. made in 1891, before the days of the gasoline autobus. A boiler and a small engine of the four cylinder type, mounted on the front of the platform, were used to drive the rear wheels by chains, and the wheels were bound with ordinary metal tires. The bus, which carried only six passengers in- side and three on the top seat, made quite a sensation when operated in the suburbs of the city.-Detroit Free Press.

Disaster Of a Century Auo.

Several lives were lost and much
property destroyed by an explosion of
gunpowder which occurred at Wool
witch 100 years ago. Woolwich is the
most ancient military and naval ar
senal in England. In its dockyard men,
of-war were built as long ago as the
beginning Of the sixteenth century.
The royal arsenal contains a factory
for the making of shells and car.
trtdges and a mammoth foundry for
casting armor and ordnance, In addi-
ton to vast magazines of great guns,
powder and other warlike stores. The
Royal Military academy, where off,
GERS are trained for the British army,
also is a part of the institution. Dur
ing the centuries of its existence the
arsenal has been the scene of many
disastrous fires and fatal explosions.
One of the most recent of the explo-
sions occurred in 1908 and resulted in
the death or serious injury OF more
than thirty persons.

For hours the train was up and up
over level after level of the amending
lava. Glimpses of the snow-crowned
peak led one to believe that it was not
far distant. Then perhaps after an
other hour of climbing up from one
level to another apparently the top
was farther away than ever. And the
long detour around the impossible
places grew wearisome in the ex-
IRENE.
The party was under the guidance
of the Gaspars, who have in the past
so successfully piloted large and small
parties to the top.
Doctor Baker and Mr.. Bowdish both
feel that the chances run during an
ascent in the winter months amount
to great hazard because of the vast
miles of unbroken lava which a mist
or storm would render terra incognita
and the constant danger of falling into
holes or of breaking through the crust

guarded against. AS 1t was, Mr.. Bow
dish's mule twice broke through, once
causing him to be thrown off.

"THE ADVENTURE OF LIFE"
Allegory Showing That Even In Its
RIGHTEOUSNESS Sweetness Is
Found.

There is an old and strange eastern
allegory of a man wandering in the
desert; he draws near to a grove of
trees, when he suddenly becomes
aware that there is a lion on his track,
hurrying and bounding along on the
scent of his steps. The man fees for
safety into the grove; he sees there
a roughly built water tank of stone,
excavated in the ground, and built up
of masonry much fringed with plants.
He climbs swiftly down to where he
ices a ledge close on the water; as
he does this, he sees that in the wa
ter lies a great lizard, with open jaws,
watching him with wicked eyes. He
stops short, and he car just support
himself among the stones by holding
on to the branches Of a plant which
grows from a ledge above him. While
he thus holds IN, with death behind
him and before, he feels the branches
quivering, and sees above, out OF
reach. two mice, one black and n
white, which are nibbling at the stems
he holds and will soon sever them. He
waits despair1ngly, and while ne does
so he sees that there are drops Of
honey on the leaves which he holds;
he puts his lips to them, ticks them
off and finds them very sweet, Arthur
G. Benson writes in the Century.
The mice stand, no doubt, for night
and day, and the honey is the sweet
ness of life, which it is possible to
taste and relish even when death Is
before and behind; and it is true that
the utter precariousness of life does
not, as a matter of fact, distract us
from the pleasure Of 1t, even though
the strands to which we hold are
slowly parting. 1t is all, then, an ad-
venture and an escape; but even in
the worst insecurity we may often be
surprised to find that it is somewhat
sweet.

The Turn of the Tide.

From time immemorial the history
Of the popular hero has ever been the
same. To king and patriot, to the
favorite girl at school and the small
boy who is leader of the gang" to
politician, to preacher, to actor and
author, comes first worship then
eclipse. The great Napoleon did not
escape this common fate; and the PUB
lie idol who was kissed only yesterday
for his gallant deeds is scorned today
for having permitted the kissing. Oh,
caprice of the human hearth Oh, cry
of the race for the unaccustomedi
From that first anniversary of his
entrance into the home, Abraham felt
his popularity decrease-in fact more
vane go square about, and where he
had known for three hundred and
sixty-fve days the gentle, balmy feel
Of the southwest zephyr, he found him
self standing OF a sudden in a cold,
bleak northeast wind. The change be-
wtldered the old man, and reacted on
his disposition. AS he had blossomed
In the sunshine, SO now he began to
droop In the shade. Feeling that he
was suspected and criticized, he began
to grow suspicious and fault-finding
himself. His old notion that he had
no right to take a woman's place in
the institution came back to his brain,
and he would brood over 1t for hours
at a time, sitting out on the porch with
his pipe and Angy.
The old wife grieved to think that
father was growing old and beginning
to show his years. She made him some
tansy tea, but neither her persuasions
nor those of the whole household could
induce him to take it. He had never
liked "~doctoring" anyway, although he
had submitted to 1t more or less during
the past year In unconscious subservi-
ence to his desire to increase his popu-
larity; but now he fancied that where
once he had been served as a king by
all these female attendants, he was
simply being "pestered' as a punish
ment for his past behavior with Blossy.
All, with its surprising ending that
had been a h~umiliating affair; and he
felt too that he would be long in for
giving Mrs. Darby for not having con-
f1ded to him her actual intentions.
Now he was afraid to be decently
courteous to n Of the sisters for fear
that they might accuse him of light
dalliance again; and he scarcely ever
addressed the new member who came
to take Blossy's little room, for he had
been cut to the quick by her look of
establishment when she was told that
he belonged there.
In his mental ferment the old man
began to nag at Angy. Sad though it
Is to confess of a hero honestly loved.
Abraham had nagged a little all his
married life when things went wrong.
And Angeline, fretted and nervous,
herself worried almost sick owe
fathers condition, was guilty once in
a while out of the depths of her anxi-
ETY. of nagging back again. So do we
hurt those whom we love best as we
would and could hurt no other.
