\ UNITED NATION

The City of Washington has vii messed To stranger sight than that of last Thursday, when Confederate veterans paraded in the capital they once sought to capture in war;" says th- Seattle POst-IDteligencer, commenting on the observance Of Memorial day in the national cap ital. The flag Of the rebellion was carried by Forests and Jack sons aud Lees yeterans, the men iu gray were escorted by Grand Ar1ll veterans and commanded by the grandson Of Gen. Robert E. Lee. These were the guests of the ma tons capital, and oyer all waved the Tag of the republic. It was a sigh. 10 make a C. A. R. man stop and rub his eyes. In no other country on earth" commented a for gigu official, could a scene like r1ls Le enacted"
 Underlying all the surface differ gucgs that arise between the var Ious people who make up this cOun- I-y.s citizenship is the common al Ie-t-aca to the nations basic prin- c'g,ez, established by the iathers, uur-ured and defended by the sons, aud still tba anchorage Of the na- tons life. Daniel Webster epit- omized these: Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseQar- able"
 Ouce, indeed, We were near to re- puLlaring them, but four years of bloodIeJtiug brought the nation back 70 the old anchorage. It was only a passing abuIiuon, and the nation is now the stronger and bet ter for It. Even if the South had wen it's struggle for separation tine would have shown its people the weakness and the folly of div isiCu and brought them intimately back to the old flag.
 Now, more than fifty years after the close of the civil war, the old wOua6s are fully healed. The sons Of the North and South fought un- der the old flag in 1898, and today they are marching out again to bat rIe for their common country. Thursdays episode at Washington was the material evidence of the accomplished fact of reunion.

OLD MAN TRIED TO ENLIST.
Wanted to Help Out" In Any Way
 but Was Refused.


 but Was Refused.
 Topeka. Ean.-The fact that the Unit ed States government does not admit a man over thirty-fve years of age to en- list in the army prevented the officers in charge of the local recruiting station from passing on s. L. Palmer, a pros porous Pawnee county farmer, the oth- CT afternoon.
 Mir. Palmer is sixty-two years of age, but appears to be a man of about forty. He appeared very much grieyed when he was told he was too old for the serv- ice.
 Neither money nor the desire for ex- perience had anything to do with MT. Palmer's applying for service in the ranks. He owns TOO acres pc good Pawnee county land.
 His only reason was his dess:s to help out" he told the officers. Js wanted to be admitted as a telegra- pher, a craftsman or a mechanic. Ha said he had fifteen years experience as a telegrapher.

BOY FARMER A PATRIOT'
 SAVES MOTHER A FINE
Gennaro Didn't Go to School, but Cultivated Twenty Acres
 In WeStCheSter.

New York.-Mrs. Rosa de Rosa, a widow. missed being fined in the mu- nicipaI term court for keeping her son Gennaro home from school by just twenty acres. These acres are part O: her home at Mill Lane, Westchester, and for the last month they have been plowed and narrowed and fertiliZed and planted and cultivated by Gennaro alone, and he Is only fifteen.
 It was his age that got Gennaro into trouble, for the compulsory education law cOmpels parents to keep their Chil- drcn in school until their sixteenth year, That Is why Mrs. De Rosa ap- yeared in court. very much frightened and escorted by Attendance Officers Puglieri and Carney.
 Magistrate Appleton looked sternly at the little Italian woman until she had explained that she was a widow, that there was a mortgage on her home and that GenuarO was her only sup port. Then he smiled, and after PubH- eri and Carney had testified that the twenty acres were under intensive cul- tivation and that one ffteen-year-old lad was doing all this work the magis- trate announced his decision.
 Sentence suspended" he said. Your son, Mrs. De Rosa. is doing a patriotic duty. He is a real benefit to the con- munity-more so than If he went to school. as the law requires"
 Gennaro did not hear this praise. He was up in WestchCSter, cuIdyatng the twenty acres.

T7e kidneys often cry for help,
 Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed.
 Not one more important to health
 The kidneys are the filters Of the blood.
 When they fail the, blood becomes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there Is poisoned blood.
 Backache is one of the frequent indications of kidney trouble.
 It is often the kidneys cry for help. Heed 1t.

 Proof of merit in the following statement:

Standing in one posi- ton so much was hard on my back and kidneys. At times I could hardly stand up straight. After I had taken a box or two of Doan's Kidney Pills, my back felt as strong as ever"

There is no mistaking' the fact
