develop unsocial and undemocratic
institutions and exert an unwhole
sorno influence in the public schools

the secretary to convey the senti
ments OF the union to the President

MINERAL POINT MARKETS THAT KNIFE LIKE PAIN
Is Only One of Natures Warming of
Weak or Dsordered Kidneys,

Have you lame back, aching day
and night? Do you feel sharp pains
after STOPPING? Are the kidneys sore?
Is their action irregular? Use Doan's
Kidney Pills-the medicine recommend
ed by so many Mineral Point people.
Read this case:
George H. Hartley, cigar manufac-
turer, State ST., Mineral Point, says:
Il suffered for several months from
severe, sharp pains in the small Of my
back. Ny kidneys were sore and the
kidney secretiOns were unnatural
got Doan's Kidney Pills at Ivey's Drug
Store and two or three boxes drove
away the pain. The kidney secretions
cleared up and l felt much better in
every way" Statement given August
2, 1000
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Hartley said: Il am glad to add that
others of my family nave taken Doan S
Kidney Pills for lame back and other
kidney disorders and have been cured, -
Price soc. at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy = get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Hartley has twice publicly recon-
mended. Foster Milburn Co., Props,

de Lafayette, the young French noble
man, who by his generous assistance to
the Revolutionary patriots, won the
lasting gratitude of America His able
campaign against CORVALLIS in Virgin,
ia, which made possible the latters cap
ture at Yorktown, his diplomatic ser
vices to the young Republic at the
Court Of France, and his staunch sup
ports Of General Washington against
intriguing foes, are among his greatest
services to the struggling land for
which he drew his chivalric sword.

VETERAN WAITED DEATH.
BUT NOW LIKES LIFE
After Digging Own Grave He Falls
In Love and Is Hoping He Will Live
Longer-Notes Cause Happiness.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Out in Forest Home
cemetery there is an open grave wait
Ing for Francis Marion Collins, an in
mate of the Soldiers home in this city.
Five years ago, after Collins had
been denied permission by the GENE
terry authorities to dig his own grave.
he went to the city Of the dead one
dark, rainy night and by the light of
lantern prepared it. Collins is aged
eighty-nine. He had a tombstone, in
scribed, as he had directed, with every
thing but the date of his death, erected.
But, though Collins is nearly four
score and ten years old and ready to
die, he doesn't want to give up the
ghost just yet. After making prepara-
tons for the last act Of the long drama
Of his life he turned eagerly to life and
love. In fact, he has a sweetheart
now. Her first name is Annette. He
won't tell the rest. She is keeping the
veteran interested in life by writing
him interesting love letters and visit
ing him at the home several times a
year
Collins served four years during the
war in Company I, One Hundred and
Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania infantry.
