The Type Used In One Year To Publish
Endorsements Of Doan's Kidney Pills
OF the many kidney remedies on the
market today, none other is recommended
like Doan's Kidney Pills. Thirty-five thou
sand benefited people gladly testify in the
newspapers. Forty-five hundred American
newspapers publish this home proof Of
Doan's merit. The type used in one year
to tell this wonderful story would make a
solid column Of metal twice as high as the
worlds highest mountain. Placed end to
end the lines of type would reach from
New York to Chicago. These miles of
good words told by $4,000 tongues sound
glad tidings to any Rockville sufferer who
wants relief from kidney and bladder ills.
Here's Rockville case. Don't experiment,
Use the remedy endorsed by people you
know.
E. L. Roger, Prop. Montgomery House,
Rockville, Md, says: 81 know that Doan's
Kidney Pills are a good kidney medicine.
| took them for backache and pains through
my kidneys and they gave excellent re-
suits"
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kid
ney Pills-the same that Mr. Roger has
twice publicly recommended. Foster-Mil-

In Mefnorian.

Mrs. Sarah Roberta Hammond, at the
age of SO years, died at Germantown or
May 9th and was buried at Neelsvillt
Presbyterian Church cemetery on the 29th
the funeral having been conducted by the
Rev. DR.. Richards at the home Of her sis
tiers, where she died.
Mrs. Hammond was the widow of Will
liam Edgar Hammond, who fell in the
battle of Gettysburg at Culps Hill while
serving under the command of his cousin,
Gen. James r. Herbert she was the daugh-
ter of the late Perry G. and Elizabeth
Etchison and the sister Of Mrs. Mary p j.
Waters, widow of the late Horace Waters,
and Miss Fannie Etchison, of Germantown.
Mrs. Hammond is survived by two daugh-
tiers. Mrs. Laura Webb-Peploe, of Baltimore,
and Mrs. Jacob Bates, of Richmond, Va,
but formerly of Baltimore. She was a
Christian woman of remarkable sweetness
of disposition and patience in suffering the
affection of blindness for a great many
years previous to her DEATH While Mrs.
Hammond had lived for years with her
daughters in Baltimore. she spent her
summers with her sisters in Germantown,
and her coming there was always hailed
with delight by the friends she made by
her genial manner and gentle spirit.
Although her affection prevented her from
mingling much with friends outside the
home of her sisters, she will be greatly
missed by those who enjoyed social visits
with her and bore away with them some
new inspiration for life's labors. She has
left the heritage of hope with all her friends
and this robs death Of its sting and the
grave of its victory.
The text for the funeral sermon was
peculiarly appropriate -
There shall be no night there"

LITERARY HYPOCRITES.

Here's Writer Who Frankly Admits
He's One of the Clan.
How many Of us if we were really
honest could make list of great books
that we have tried to enjoy and
couldn't rise to?
We have for our own part greater
sin than that on our conscience. There
are a number of books that we habitu-
ally pretend we have read which we
have never read at all. They are great
books, we suppose. At least we've
heard lot about them and read lot
about them, and people who assume to
know say they are great books. Some
of them we have tried to read and
couldn't read, but we have pretended
at one time or another to have read all
of them. Here is our list of shame:
"Tom JONES'" We have tried to read
it four times and could never get five
pages into it.
1.-THE Vicar of Wakefield" We have
attempted it at least six times and
taken the count in the first round
every time.
"Dante's Divine Comedy" We have
been going against the Cary transla-
ton, which we hear is a good one, at
least once year for twenty years, and
we can't get interested in it. Yet up
to the present moment we have always
pretended that we had read all Of It
and liked it,
Don QuiXote." We have read lit
tie of it, and we know all the usual
things that are said about it, and we
even wrote some stuff about it one
time, saying all the things that are
usually said about it, for which we got
$25, but we don't really like it. 1t puts
us to sleep; it seems long drawn out
and clumsy to US.
"Boswells Life Of Johnson" We
never read any of it. But we have pre-
tended to and have pretended at times
to quote incidents from it and have got
away with the incidents.
We have always pretended that we
were familiar with Walt Whitman's
poetry, but as a matter Of fact we
never read anything through, except
ing when Lilacs Last In the Door
yard Bloomed. Don Marquis In New
York Sun.

The fire department was called
out yesterday afternoon I'd a
fire, which for a time, threatened
to destroy the Walker building,
next to the Corning grocery
store. This is an old building
which has been let 60 to ruin,
and its absence from the street
would have been a welcome
sight. The fire department
arrived on the scene in record
breaking time. and although the
fire had a good start, they sue
ceeded in putting out the blaze
before a great deal of damage
had been done.
The Walkers, who occupied
the upper portion of the build
ing, succeeded in getting out a
quantity Of clothing, etc., but
much of their furniture, cloth
ing, etc. was damaged by water.
The building, as it now stands.
is good for but little, and its re-
moval from the street would be
a welcome sight.
