Little 0rphant Annie"
Says "Jim" Riley Was
the Meanest of Boys

Many will be surprised to learn that
there ever was a real "Orphant Annie"
"Orphant Annie is now Mrs. Wesley
Gray. Although not great many
miles from the poets birthplace, Green
field, Ind, Mrs. Gray's farm is situated
in the real, old-fashoned back coun-
try.
1t was a raw, bleak day when little
"Orphant Annie" was brought to the
Riley home. She came from a print
tive country settlement in a rough
wagon, riding on heavy board laid
across 1t for a seat. She re-
called the happenings at the Riley
home with amusement and delight.
"Um Riley" she declared, twas the
biggest tease and the meanest boy l
ever seen. I used to wonder how he
learnt it all; how in the world a boy
only twelve years old could be so full
of mischief, and such an awful tease.
"I1e would draw ugly pictures of us
and write mean things beneath 'em,
and tell you, he just nachurly worried
the life out of us. Then he would make
his eyes red by rubbing them, and
pretend he was sticking gun caps in
them. Then he'd pull the gun caps out
of his nose. You can't guess how he
scared us.
"Then he had hateful way of do
ing trick that circus man taught
him, with button and handkerchief
by folding the handkerchief around
the button, and then undoing it, and
the button wasn't there. That made
us awful curious, and we made him
do it again and again, until one time
he dropped it out of his sleeve LA

Electricity In Surgery.

Modern surgery has called on cleo.
tricity once more to aid it in reliev-
ing human ills. An electric saw for
the severing of bones when an ampu-
tation or other operation makes so
heroic a measure necessary is now the
newest instrument in every up-to-date
surgeons office. The advantages of
the electric saw over the old hand
style saw are, of course, many and
obvious. In the matter of time-saving
alone it is of the greatest value, and,
as is pointed out in the Electrical Ex-
perimenter, it saves labor and makes
materially for accuracy

GETTING THE SAVING HABIT
What Garner of Money Needed Was
Simply Stimulus to Make Econ
omy Attractive.

The following is an account of what
competition did toward encouraging a
bank account:
Il am on a newspaper. l have al
ways made salary in excess of SIM
pie living requirements, but l was a
free spender and did not save.
"A baby came, and felt an added
responsibility. l was actually
frightened for the first time in my life.
Then l gave the matter Of saving
some thought, but l could not decide
upon any course of action.
cat the office one day a business dis
cussion made me see that what l
needed in my home was competition.
THAT night on my arrival home, l
said to my wife that l would, begin
ming the next Saturday, give her half
of my salary and l would keep the
other half and we each take an equal
share of the household expenses.
"At the end of the first month 1
left my bank book on the library ia
BILE. l wanted to surprise her. That
she thought l was doing fine. Look
ing at her closely I saw that she re-
allied she was challenged. She did
not speak, however, of any intention
she might have had in mind.
"A month later | found her bank
book on the library table identically
as I had left mine. She had beaten
me, for her savings showed $1,000
more than my own for the correspond
ing month, and SIS in excess of my
deposits for the first month.

Memories of Insects,

Euglenae and practically all micro
scopic animalculae, even of the most
simple nature, have been found to
have association of ideas, or, better,
associative memory. That is to say
by rewards of food and punishment
of one sort or another, they learn
definite performances. In brief, they
associate the act with the conse-
quences. Bedbugs and cockroaches,
no less than fleas and plant lice, have
been actually trained to obey the
whip. Professors Szymanski, Holmes,
Bone, Brundin and Mast are but few
of those biologists who have studied
the learning process and behavior
of such insects.

enough with themselves to scout the
idea that their ideals can be met with
on this mundane sphere.
1t is equally useless for man de-
liberately to refuse to go to a place
which women frequent or refuse
pointblank to be introduced to the sex
for which he has no use. Cupid does
not take him into consultation when
he lays his plans, jotting the name of
this man and that woman whom he
purposes to pair off down upon his ref
erence book. It's all cut and dried
for him. A man may balk and run
away, but he is caught and rounded
up another day.

WHAT rs URIC ACID j?
Does Uric Acid Cause Backaclie,
rheumatism and Kidney Trouble?


Dear DR.. Pierce What is Uric Acid?
Does it cause kidney trouble? Not long
ago was examined for insurance and
an Analysis of the kidney secretions
showed ali excess of Uric Acid.
l suffer from backache, and rheu-
matsm in my limbs, but never before
suspected my kidneys. l recognize
you as an authority on these subjects,
and wish you would give me this IN
formation. Lewis r.
Lewis R., My dear Sir: Answer
ing your letter, Uric Acid indicates
poisoning of the system; it is also
associated with several other poisons
and forms painful irritants in the cells
of the joints, nerves and muscles.
Everyone has Uric Acid in the sys-
tenn, but naturally in small quantities.
Excessive amount is caused by eating
too much meat and foods that fer
ment in stomach. The kidneys being
the filters of the blood are supposed
to separate and throw the poisons out
OF the system. Weak, tired and over
worked kidneys fail to do this, hence
the poisonous Uric Acid and its asso-
ciated poisons contaminate the blood,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsy and tired, worm
out feeling, short breath and many
other symptoms.
To overcome the trouble is only
matter of toning up the kidneys, and
this is best done by treatment with
"An-Uric" with proper diet and exer-
else. This prescription has been thor
oughly tested and used by specialists
at my institution, in Buffalo, N. Y,
with satisfactory results, and astonish-
ing relief.
l recently put cAn-Uric" before the
American people and it may now be
obtained from almost any one OF the
leading druggists in town, simply by
asking for DR.. Pierce's "An-uric," in
tablet form.
Take good medical advice, and do not
let deadly Bright's Disease or Diabetes
develop from neglected kidneys.

Fate and Character Alike.

It took the world many generations
to recognize and to accept the simple
truth that fate and character were
the same. Even now, though 1t is ad-
vocated virtually by all creeds and
by all persons who think about the
matter, it is rather an idealistic the
DRY than practical reality. To
take it into the mind and the heart,
to care for it sufficiently to put it in
control of the feelings, to give it, in
other words, loving recognition, is to
turn from hayward and contradictory
theories and to make a right start in
living.

To Curl Feathers.

Try this method of curling
your feathers. Take round
stick and hold the feathers close
to it lengthwise and fold the
down carefully around the wood.
Next slip over it a closely fit
ting bag of any material; this
bag should be a trifie larger than
the curling stick. Hold this bag
in the steam of a kettle until
thoroughly dampened, after
which place in a warm spot to
dry. When the bag Is removed
1t will be found that the feather
is nicely curled.
