is the best guarantee of future results.
Anyone with bad back; any reader suf-
fering from urinary troubles, from kid
ney ills, should find comforting words in
the following statement
Mrs. A. Ainsworth, P. o. Box 29S, Ma
pie street. Morrisville, says: 81 suffered
for years from pains in the small of my
back and had other symptoms of kidney
complaint. Headaches and dizzy spells
occurred almost daily. Often 1 was in
such bad shape that could not do any
thing. When learned Of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, decided to give them trial,
and procured a supply at Cheney's Drug
Store. They helped me from the first
and I continued using them until the
trouble went away. 1 now feel better

PICKING A PiCKPOCKET.
Rules That Guide Chicago Detectives
In Spottinq Their Man.

Rules That Guide Chicago Detectives
In Spottina Their Man.
How to tell ii pickpocket when you
see one-the feat is apparently not
difficult. for all applicants who take
the civil service examination 20 be-
come Chicago detectives are required
to have mastered il.
what are the physical characters
tics of pickpockets? the would be
thief catchers are asked.
And this is the answer they are ex-
pected to give:
"Pickpockets ordinarily travel in
mobs and are of two distinct types
one small or medium stature. the other
tall and muscular. AS a general rule.
the age runs from eighteen to thirty
five. Their hands are soft. show no
signs of work, and the fingers of all
except the stall and particularly the
fingers of the wire are long and slen-
der. Their eyes are shifting and fur
tive. Their complexion is generally
sallow and without distinct color. this
being due either to prison palor in
types or to the use of cocaine or other
drugs. The cocaine users show drawn
features and prominent cheek bones
and usually have distinct rings around
the eyes.
THE temperament of pickpockets is
high strung because of the dangers of
the profession or from the use of
drugs. At the same time they are po-
lite almost to the point Of obsequious-
ness. They seldom carry weapons and
rarely resort to force. On duty they
dress to suit the occasion, generally
well, but not conspicuously. They
avoid wearing anything that might
lead to Identification - Baltimore

OUR FIRST ELECTION.
Methods In the Days When Washing
ton Was Chosen President.

Methods In the Days When Washing
ton Was Chosen President.
At the first national election at which
General Washington was chosen presi-
dent only eleven of the thirteen states
voted. North Carolina and Rhode Is
land not yet having entered the Union.
and in only three-Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia-were popular cleo
tons held. In the other eight states
the legislatures chose the electors. New
York did not choose electors because
of feud between the anti Federalist
house and the Federalist senate.
One exciting incident was caused by
the fear on the part of Alexander Ham,
ilton that John Adams. who was on
the ticket for vice president with
Washington. was plotting to tie the
vote, and thus by throwing the cleo
ton into the national house of repre-
sentatives defeat the Father of His
Country for president. So real was
this fear in Hamilton that he dis
patched messengers on horses to vir-
ginia, Connecticut and New Jersey to
stampede the legislatures of the latter
two states to Washington.
So long did it take to gather news
that Washington was actually inaugu-
rated president before some of the
remote counties in Virginia had sent
in their returns. In this first election
there was only one ticket and there
was no campaigning. There were only
about 100000 inhabitants in the coun-
try at that time, and the whole cost
of setting up the machinery of this
presidential election is estimated at less
than 100000 Pittsburgh Dispatch.
