WELL DESERVED The Praise That Comes From Thankful Decatur People. One kidney remedy never fails. Decatur people rely upon it. That remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Decatur proves it always reliable. Sam Ruggels, living about three miles south of Decatur on the road to Wiltshire, says: “I suffered for several years with what I thought was rheumatism. At times, I thought that every bone in my body ached and it was with difficulty that I could get around. I was so sore right across the small of my back and so weak that I was in constant misery. At times it became so severe that I could not leave the house. Stooping caused agony and when I straighened again I suffered more. I consulted several doctors, used their medicine and applied liniment without benefit and I continued to get worse and worse. One day while in Decatur I was complaining to a friend and he advised me to get Doan's Kidney Pills, saying that they had cured him of severe trouble. I got a box at the Holthouse Drug Co.'s store and before I had used all of them I could get around without a support and I continued using the remedy until all the aching, weakness and soreness were removed and I felt well and strong again. I have not had any trouble with my kidneys since I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and I can go out and work as well as I ever could. I feel like a new man.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

FRIDAY 13th "'‘Beulah, Beulah, my Beulah!" I realised that he had risen. I rose, too, thinking that ngw J could close the door. But again I saw a picture that transfixed me. Bob had taken Beulah by both shoulders and he held her off and looked into her eyes long and beseechingly. Never before nor since have I seen upon human face that glorious joy which the old masters sought to get into the faces o< their worshippers who, kneeling before Christ, tried to send to Him, through their eyes, their soul’s gratitude and love. I stood as one enthralled. Slowly and as reverently as the living lover touches the brow of his dead wife. Bob bent his head and kissed her forehead. Again and again he drew her to him and Implanted upon her brow and eyes and lips his kisses. I could not stand the scene any longer. I started to the corridor door, and then, as though for the first time either had known I was within hearing, they turned and stared at me. At last Bob gave a long, deep sigh, then one of those reluctant laughs of happiness yet wet with sobs. “Well, Jim, dear old Jim, where did you come from? Like all eavesdroppers, you have heard no good of yourself. Owp up, Jim, you did not hear a word good or bad about yourself, for It is Just coming back to me that we have been selfish, that we have left you entirely out of our business conference.” We all laughed, and Beulah Sands, with her face a bloom of burning blushes, said: “Mr. Randolph, we have not settled what It is best to do about father's affairs.” After a little we did begin to talk business, and finally agreed that Beulah should write her father, word- ( ing her letter as carefully as possible, to avoid all direct statements, but showing him that she had made but little headway on the work she had come north to accomplish. Bob was a changed being now; so, too, was Beulah Sands. Both discussed their hopes and fears with a frankness in strange contrast to their former manner. But there was one point oa which Bob showed he was holding back. I finally put It to him bluntly: "Bob, are you working out anything that looks like real relief for Hiss Sands and her father?” “I don’t know how to answer you, Jim. I can only say I have some ideas, radical ones perhaps, but —well, 1 am thinking along certain lines.” I saw he was not yet willing to take us into his confidence. We parted, Bob going along In the cab with Miss Sands. Two days afterward she sent for us both as soon as we got to the office. “I have this telegram from father— It makes me uneasy: ‘Mailed to-day important letter. Answer as soon as you receive.’ ’’ The following afternoon the letter came. It showed Judge Sands in a very nervous, uneasy state. He said he had been living a life of daily terror, as some of his friends, for whose estates he was trustee, imd been receiving anonymous letters, advising tham to look into the judge’s trust affairs; that the Reinhart crowd had been using renewed pressure to make hfm let go all his Seaboard stock, which they wanted to secure at the low prices to which they had depressed it, in order that they might reorganize and carry out the scheme they had been so long planning. Judge Sands went on to say that the day he was compelled to sell his Seaboard stock he would have to make public an announcement of his condition, as there could be no sale without the court’s consent His closing was: My dear daughter, no one knows better than I the almost hopelessness of expecting any rebel from your operations. But so hopeless have I become of late, so much am I reliant upon you, my dear child, and eternal hope so springs in all of us when confronted with great necessities, that I have hoped and still hope that you are to be the savior of your family: that you, only a frail child, are through God’s marvellous workings to be the oDe to save the honor of that name we both love more than life; the one to keep the wolf of poverty from that door through which so far has come nothing but the sunshine of prosperity and happiness; the one, my dear Beulah, who is to save your old father from a dishonored grave. Dear child, forgive me for placing upon your weak shoulders the additional burden of knowing I am now helpless and compelled to rely absolutely upon you. After you have read my letter, if there is no hone, I command you to tell me so at once, for although I am now financially and almost mentally helpless, I am still a Sands, and there has never yet been one of the name who shirked his duty, however stem and painful It might be. When I handed the letter back to Miss Sands, she said: “Mr. Randolph, let me tell you and Mr. Brownley a little about my father and our home, that you may see our situation as It Is. My father is one of the noblest men that ever lived. I em not the only one who say? that—if you were to ask the people of our state to name the one man who had done most for the state as a state, most for her progressive betterment, most for her people high and low, white and black, they would answer, ’Judge Lee Sands.’ He has been, and Is, the idol of our people. After he was graduated from Harvard, he entered the law office of my grandfather. Senator Robert Lee Sands. Before he was 30 he was in I congress and was even then reputed the greatest orator of Our state,’where orators are so plentiful. He married my mother, his second cousin, Jnlla Lee. of Richmond, at 25, and from then until the attack of that ruthless money shark, led a life such as a true man would mail otrt for himself If his

Maker granted him would have to atourhom predate my father . rrow |g understand how terrible thiso-• to him. "Every ®orniug spends an hour a ffom m v dear mother who«• » c armi hip disease. He takes h p. t<> and brings her doan H e the library as I knows good zßit ms-Se affairs Every afternoon from four Se he devotes to his estates and the S and women for «*»***£ trustees He has often said to me. SfXi a clear million of money and and that is all should have in America, is entitled to under onr form of eminent. Any more than that honest man should in one wav or an other return to the people from whom he has taken it. I never wan my family to have more than a million dollars.’ When he went into the Sear board affair, he explained to me that It was to assist the Wilsons— they were old friends, and he acted as their solicitor for years-in buHdlng up the south He discussed with me the right and advisability of putting in the trust funds. He said he considered it his duty to employ them as he did his own in enterprises that would aid the whole people of the south, instead of sending them to the north to be used in Wall street as belting for the System’ grinder. These fortunes were made in the south by men who loved their section of the country more than they did wealth, and why should they not be employed to benefit that part of the country which their makers and owners loved? I remember vividly how perplexed he was when, at the beginning, the Wilsons would show him that the investments were returning unusually large profits. ” ’lt is not right, Beulah.’ he said to me one morning after receiving a letter from Baltimore to the effect that Seaboard stock and bond* bad advanced until his investment showed over 50 per cenL proflL It is not right for us to make this money. No man in America should make over legal rates of interest and a fair profit on an Invest ment, that is, an investment of capital pufe and simple, particularly in a transportation company, where every dollar of profit comes from the people who patronize the lines. I have worked it out on every side, and it is not right; it would not be legal if the people, who make the laws for their own betterment, understood their affairs as they should.’ “He was always writing to the Wilsons to conduct the affairs of the Seaboard so that there would be remain. ing each day only profits enough to keep the road up and the wharves in good condition and to pay the annual interest and a fair dividend. And when the Wilsons came to our house to lay before him the offer of Reinhardt and his fellow plunderers to pay enormous profits for the control of the seaboard, he was indignant and argued with them that the offler was an insult to honest men. It was he who advised the trusteeship control of the Seaboard stock to prevent Reinhart from securing control. I sat In the library when he talked to the elder Wilson and the directors. “He appealed directly to John Wilson to make an effort to stop the growing tendency to use the people as pawns to enslave themselves and their children. He said some man of undoubted probity, standing, and wealth, some one whom the people trusted, must start the fight against these New’ York fiends, whose only thought is to roll up wealth. And he told John Wilson he was the man, since he had great wealth, honestly got by his father and grandfather; no one would accuse him of being a hypocrite, seeking notoriety, and his standing in the financial world was so old and solid that it would have to listen to him. I remember how emphatically father said: ’I tell you, John, even the discussion of such a proposition as that scoundrel Reinhart makes is degrading to an American's honor.’ He said It didn’t make the least difference if Reinhart counted his millions by the score, and was director in 30 or 40 great institution?, and gave a fortune every year for charity to the church—that he was a blackleg just the same. And so Is any man. he said, who dares to say he will take the stock of a transportation company, which represents a certain amount of money invested and double or multiply it by five and ten, simply because he can compel people to pay exorbitant fares and freight rates and so get profits on this fraudulently increased capital. ’’lt was the decision arrived at by father and the Wilsons at this meeting, a decision to refuse in any circumrJances to allow our southern people to be bled by the Wall street ’system,’ that started Reinhart and his dollar-fiends on the war-path. You can see from what I tell you of my father the terrible condition he is in now. At night, when I get to thinking of him. hoping against hope with no one to help him. no one with whom he can talk over his affairs when I think of his nobleness in voting his time to mother and bv sheer will-power concealing from her ais awful suffering, it nearly drives me mad.” “Miss Sands, why win you not let me lend you the money necessary to tide your father over for T asked. ’ You are so good, ” Mr. Randolph T d ° D t qulte understand my tether ln_sj>!te of wh*J hav^sal|

He would sot rett-.-e his suff erlas the expense of another, not If it a hundred times more acute, y * cannot understand the old-fashioned deep-rooted pride of the Sands.” ’ -But can you not, at least temi». rarily disguise from him Just how Z have arranged the relief?" ' * Her big blue eyes stared at me t n bewilderment. "Mr. Randolph, I could not deceiv* father. I could not tell him a li, even to save his ltfe. It would be i m . possible. My father abhors a lie. r, believes a man or woman who would lie the lowest of the low things on earth. When I go back to my f a . ther he will say: ‘Tell me what y ou have done.’ I can Just see him now standing between the big white pillars at the end of the driveway, i hear him saying calmly: 'Beulah, my daughter, welcome. Tour mother ti waiting for you in her room. Do not lose a moment getting to her ’ Afterward he'll take me over the plantstlrm to show me all the familiar things, and not one word will he allow me to say about our affairs until dinner is over, until the neighbors have left, for no Sands returns from long absence without a fitting home welcome. When I have said good night to mother and sister and he his drawn up my rocker hi front of his big chair in the library alcove and I re lighted his cigar for him, he win look me tn the eye and say: 'Daughter, tell me what you have done ’ 1 would no more think of holding anything back than I would of stabbing him to the heart. No, Mr. Randolph, there is no possibility of relief except in fairly using that $30,000 and fairly winning back what Wall street bis stolen from father. Even that will cause both of us many twinges of conscience, and anything more is impossible If tbis cannot be done, fither must, all of us must, pay th» penalty of Reinhart’s ruthless act” (so be continued next Saturday.) /haw f\(\ To Traverse Oitv, Petostp/.UU efty. “ nd Matkinaw SB.OO To Mackinac Island Gn r i annual .

THEATRE TALK N 0.3 An Opera House will be occupied one night by a play cheaply put on with an inferior company, and on another by an attraction of more than ordinary merit. Yet in each case the price of a ticket " — 1 will be practically Theatrical Buriaeu the same. THE prrnTiiß ons PUBLIC IS SELPECULIAR ONE dqjj L E xq DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE been fooled Iw^Ra^tSaSs^lwcause^they know they will see an attraction which requires an outlay about three times as great as usual, and yet costing no more to see than the ordinary play. In other words, FOR THE SAME MONEY THEY RECEIVE THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS USUAL, and there is nothing people like better than a bargain. There should be no question about the SUCCESS OF A PLAY IN THIS CITY if it is a wholesome, brilliant story like “Monte Cristo,” which will be presented here soon. It is a noticeable fact that the OLDFASHIONED PLAY FOUNDED UPON THE GOOD had a sort of false brilliancy play, which like 4 * n imitation diamond, catches the eye, but has no intrinsic or lasting value. Then we have the production play, which is all scenery, costumes, mechanics, humbug and cheap literature. THROUGHOUT ALL THE YEARS THAT HAVE INTERVENED SINCE ALEXANDRE DUMAS* “MO>TE CRISTO” was first presented 1H1» DRAMA HAS RETAINED ITS REMARKABLE POTENCY TO PLEASE.
