OFFERS $1,000 REWARD.
American of German Parents Wants
Bombs Dropped on Berlin.

American of German Parents Wants
Bombs Dropped on Berlin.
To the first American aviator to drop
bombs over Berlin Sigmond SAKE, pres
ident Of a chemical company of New
York, will give a $1,000 liberty bond.
Although his mother was born in
Germany and his father, who was born
in Poland, was of German extraction,
Mr.. SAKE made this offer. He also has
Aany close relatives living under the
kaiser's rule. He is q native of this
country.
Remembrance of the Americans lost
on the Lusitania prompts me to make
this OFFER" wrote Mr.. SAKE. He told a
reporter he regarded the sinking as
an outrage against civilization which
should be avenged.
II believe In reprisals to let the Prus-
sian people have a taste Of their own
wicked methods" he said. ct is the
only way to bring home to them the
horror Of their acts. The raids on
London were barbarities. The only
way to stop them is to fight Germany
with her OWL weapons"
Historic Peronne.
Many years ago Peronne, in France,
was a great fortress. For 900 years or
so it boosted itself Peronne la Pucelle,
q maiden city, which had never sur
rendered or been conquered. Readers
Of Sir Walter SCOTS "Quentin Dur
ward' will remember the little town
Situated upon a deep river in a fat
country the "ancient walls and deep
green meadows" to which Quentin
came with his lady Isabel, to find
Louis NJ. in the grip of Charles the
Bold. In the castle King John of
France slept before the battle of Poi
tiers, and 400 years earlier another
king Of France, Charles the Simple,
was starved to death there.

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles
Langdon Citizen Gives a Valuable Hint
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will 500 correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptom of kidney
disorder. That is where the dangerof-
ten lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy or
Bright's disease. An effective remedy
for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the ext
perience of a resident of Langdon
who has tested Doan's.
Mrs. Patrick Heating, Langdon.
says: "My back was so painful, lam.
and sore at times that l could scarcely
get around; a tired, WORKOUT feeling
chung to me; I read about Doan's kid
ney pills and got a box. They gave
me great relief. My back has been
much better and l have had great re-
lief from other symptoms of kidney

A Hindrance

An army officer who served in
the Spanish War tells of a New
York regiment, many of whose
members were recruited on the
East Side. They we're spelling for
a fight, and it became necessary to
post guards to preserve order.
A big, husky Bowery recruit. of
pugilist proportions, was put on
duty outside and given special or.
ders to see that quiet reigned, and,
above all things, if trouble came
his way, not to lose possession of
his rife. Soon a general row be-
gan, growing in proportion as the
minutes passed. The soldier walked
his post nervously. without inter-
rupting, until the corporal of the
guard appeared on the scene with
reinforcements. Why didn't you
stop this rowg" demanded the cor
poral. The sentry, balancing his
rifle on his shoulder, raised his
arms to the correct boxing position.
and replied: "Shure, phwat could /
do wild dis gun in me hands!" -Ex.

The Faith Unshaken

Not by bread alone, even in days
when bread is uppermost in the
thought of many, are men and wo.
men to lead lives of integrity and
beauty and usefulness to their own
kind. A<home is not made when
three meals day, a rooftree and
a place to sleep have been provided.
A success is not achieved when
there are many dollars in the bank
and a man is monarch of the gild-
ed furniture and the lavish decora-
tion he surveys. Our happiness of
day to day is made by simple
things, by the sense of duty full
filled, by kind thoughts cherished
and carried into action. by fidelity
to trust reposed in US, by the
comfort we can bestow where pain
and WEAKNESS may be, by the
strength we can restore through
so slight a things as the touch of a
hand.
Often in the battle to make our
onward. way through the world our
confidence in human nature is as
sailed by the obliquity of one that
we believed in. We grieve and
are discounted because we thought
that here we rested on a firm foun-
dation, and the peace of that con-
fidence was suddenly withdrawn.
The idol had feet of clay that
crumble. The doll to which, as
children of a larger growth, we
were devoted was stuffed with saw
dust after all. We had not looked
for this mournful disillusioning,
and it threatens to embitter. We
feel only like Withdrawing into
ourselves and not opening the door
again.
But what of the rest who depend
on us? If we lose faith in the race
because of an Individual, we wrong
all the rest whom we still are
bound to serve. Of all the selfish
luxuries there are, that of the pri-
vate grievance nursed till it creates
the misanthrope is the least excu-
sable. What right has any of us
to such littleness as this when
such great matters are to be settled
as this awful mightiness of the
world-war involves.
How petty seems any struggle
for precedence, or prestige, or the
mere assertion of individual au-
thority! In the face of the great
emergency that clutches the throat
of civilization and would force it
to the wall, must not those who
maintain that they are civilized
stand for truth and justice together
to the end9- Exchange.
