OBITUARY.

On Wednesday morning, April
10th, death took Mrs. Mary A.
Ragan of Maumee, Ohio. Deceased
had been resident of Maumee for
nearly three quarters of century,
having come there from County
Cork, Ireland, in her early child
hood. In December, 1859, she was
married to the late II. O. Ragan,
who died four years ago this
month.
During her long life Mrs. Ragan
had acquired host of friends
among whom she was highly re
spected for her many charities.
In her earlier days when it was
difficult for persons in sickness or
trouble to secure assistance the
persons who had partaken of Mrs.
Ragan's charity and kindness were
legion, and while they have passed
to the Great Beyond, their de-
scendants retained many memories

CRYING FOR HELP,
Lots Of 1t In Perrysburg, but Daily
Growing Less.

The 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 in
dications of kidney trouble.
1t is often the kidneys cry for help
Heed it.

done for overworked kidneys.

Mrs. w. A. Evans, Second and Pine

symptoms of kidney trouble. l could

CONSTIPATION and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suffer
ing from Indigestion are often troubled
with constipation. Mrs. Robert Alli-
son, Mattoon, ILL.,, writes that when she
first moved to Mattoon she was great
sufferer from indigestion and consti-
patton. Food distressed her and there
was feeling like heavy weight
pressing on her stomach and chest.
She did not rest we'll at night, and felt
worn out good part of the time. One
bottle of Chamberlain's Tablets cor
rected this trouble so that she has
since felt like different person.

CHAPTER VII.
A Sunday Walk.

Really If Prince had been a vain
dog his ego would certainly have be-
come unduly developed because Of this
incident. The Corners, as a commu-
nity voted him an acquisition whereas
heretofore he had been looked upon as
good deal of a nuisance.

Miss Minnie walked home with Caro-
Ign May and allowed Princes delight

you, Miss Minnie" said Carolyn May.
"He's an awful nice dog. You didn't
know just how nice he was before"
Almost everybody went to church
and all the children to Sunday school,
which was held first.
The Rev. Alton briggs, though seri-
ous-mlnded, was loving man. He
was fond Of children and he and his
chlldless wife gave much Of their at
tentlon to the Sunday school. Mrs.
briggs taught Carolyn Mays class Of
little girls. Mrs. briggs did her very
best, too, to get the children to stay
to the preaching service, but Carolyn
May had to confess that the pastors

won't let him touch you" she assured
the man.
The latter seemed rather doubtful
of her ability to hold the dog long, and
he hobbled away towards the school
house.
Carolyn May had very pleasant
call-Freda's mother even approved Of
Prlnce-and II was an hour before the
two started for home. In sight of the
school house Prince gave evidence
again Of excitement,
~ wonder what Is the matter with
you now" Carolyn May began, when
suddenly she sighted what had evil
dendy so disturbed the dog
A man was crouchlng under one Of
the schoolhouse windows, bobblng up
now and then to peer In, 1t was the
man whom they had previously seen
beside the road
"Hush, Prince" whispered little
Carolyn May, holding the dog by the
collar.
She too could see through the open
window. Miss Minnie was still mt her
desk. She had finished correcting the
pupils papers, Now she had her bag
open and was counting the money Mr.,
Brady had given her,
"O-o.oh" breathed Carolyn May,
clGgng to the eager dogs collar.
The man at the window suddenly
left his position and slipped around to
the door, In moment he appeared in
the schoolroom before the startled
teacher.
Miss Minnie screamed, The man,
with a rough threat darted forward
to seize her purse.
Just then Carolyn May unsnapped

and colllng, as 1t did 80, into an attl'

was only large blacksnake and non,

moment TO the dog or to the little
gIrl-nor to Joseph Stagg when he
saw 1t.

back, She did not see It, for she was
quite as Intent upon keeping her face
turned from Mr., Stogg as he had been
determined to Ignore her presence.
Carolyn May was shaking and help
less. Not so Prince. He repeated his
challenging growl and then sprang
at the vibrating head. Miss Amanda
uttered stIhed scream and jumped
up from the log, whlrllng to see what
was happening behind her,
Joseph Stage dropped Carolyn Mays
hand and leaped forward with his
walking stick raised to strike. But

him go.
"Save Miss Minnie, Princeyl" she
cried after the charging dog.
Prince did not trouble about the
door. The open window, through
which the tramp had spled upon the
schoolmlstress, was nearer. He went
up the wall and scrambled over the
sill with q savage determination that
left no doubt whatever In the tramps
mind.
With a yell of terror the fellow
bounded out of the door and tore
along the road and through The Cor
ners at speed never before equaled
In that locality by knight of the road.
Prince lost little time in recovering
his footing and again getting on the
trail of the fleeing tramp But he was
soon baying the fellow past the black
smith shop and the store.
The incident called the entire popu-
lation Of The Corners, save the bed
ridden, to the windows and doors. For
once the little, somnolent village
awoke.
