HANDICAPPED This is the Case with Many Decatur People. Too many Decatur citizens are handicapped with a bad back. The unceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stooping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest, and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause. To elminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Can you doubt Decatur evidence? Perry Elzey, 218 Sixth Street, Decatur, Ind., says: “My kidneys were disordered for ten years and my back was very weak. Stooping always caused backache and the least work I did tired me. Since using Doan’s Kidney Pills procured at the Holthouse Drug Co., I have been in much better shape and my back has not bothered me. I have great faith in the curative powers of Doan's Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

* KNEW HUMAN NATURE. Logic of the Man Who Midit of a Flood. When »svy Crockett was on his way from his Tennessee home to Texas to Sght for the new republic he rode overMud with some chance friends from Little Rock to Fulton. One day they were startled by hearing the high notes of a distant violin playing a rollicking air. Putting spurs to their horses, the men hastened toward the sound and soon observed several others running through the fields in the same direction. At last they came over the crest of a ridge in view of the river and beheld the fiddler seated in the middle of the flood in an almost submerged buggy playing as fast as he could shake the bow. "Hello, there! Turn back!” shouted the men who came through the field. “I can’t,” replied the fiddler. “But you’ve missed the ford. You’ll drown!” “I’ve known that for half an hour.” “What are you going to do?” “Sit here till yon chaps come out and turn my horse the right way.” The horse was with difficulty keeping his footing and seemed about to be swept away. One of the men who had been attracted by the fiddling waded out and by a precarious way reached the horse’s head and led him round to the ford and back to the bank, the passenger fiddling all the way and winding up with a merry jig. "What do you mean by sitting out there fiddling in the face of death?” demanded Crockett of the rescued stranger. “Well, colonel,” said the fiddler, “I am a student of human nature. When I found I had missed the ford and needed help, I set out to get it. I might have shouted myself hoarse and no one out here would have paid the slightest attention to me. But there isn’t a man west of the Mississippi who wouldn’t come running at the sound of a fiddle in the woods.” “And he was right,” said Davy, “for there we were, the lot of us, our horses all of a lather, for running to satisfy our curiosity about that squeaking fiddle in this out of the way place."— Tooth’s Camnanlon

The Desert Tortoise. One of the most interesting reptiles of California’s great desert is the desert tortoise. A writer In Suburban Life says: “I have found as many as twenty of these hard shelled fellowl that we usually associate in our minds with the thought of water In the very heart of the desert, where the water was exceedingly scarce. Yet when yon pick them up they generally void two or three large spoonfuls of liquid. Dissection shows that they each have two large water sacks on the back, and these afford them their water supply. They are great travelers and can walk faster than we should Imagine. They are also good climbers. I have watched one for hours climbing up and down the rocky sides of a desert mountain. He could wriggle himself up to a rock almost as high as he was long. Raising himself on his tall end, he wonld use his head as a hook, then claw with his right- leg until It had secured a good hold, then, with what seemed to me extraordinary strength, be would lift himself up and wiggle bls body Into a secure position." The Wise Eskimos. Everything In the Eskimo dress hai a reason for Its existence, writes Cap tain Roald Amundsen In “The Northwest Passage." The members of Cap tain Amundsen’s expeditions had become accustomed to the Eskimo dress and had adopted it, but many of them thought It ridiculous for grown up men to go about wearing fringe to their clothes, so they cut It off. I had my scruples about this, says the author, as I had already learned that most things In the Eskimo’s clothing and other arrangements had their distinct meaning and purpose, so I kept my fringe and put up with the ridicule. He laughs best who laughs last One fine day the anoraks, a sort of tunic reaching below the knee, made of deerskin, from which the fringes had been cut off, commenced to cur] up, and If the fringe had not been pu‘ on again quickly they would soon han looked like neckties.

Garibaldi’s Simplicity of Character. An Instance of Garibaldi's modesty •nd simplicity of character is afforded by the following letter, written to his wife at Caprera the day after the battle of Digion: Dear Franceses— Yeeterflay the Italian volunteers fought the whole day against tbe Prussians, the best seldlers In the world, and won. The weather uore Is very cold, and It Is snowing. I dare say it will be the same in the Mediterranean. Take care of the cows and see that the calves do not suffer from the cold. Tell Pietro to sow the beans at the Tole and tell the children. Clella and Manllo, that when I passed Marseilles I saw some beautiful toys, which on my return I shall get ter them. Ingenious Ponies. A rather curious habit has been developed by Mexican ponies in connection with the cactus thorns. When these creatures are thirsty it is said that before attempting to put their mouths to the prickly plant they will first of all stand and kick at the cactus with their Reels. By this means the thorns are broken and the leathery skin bruised, and so the ponies can drink their fill of tbe cool juice without injury.—Strand Magazine. They Were Not Encouraged. “I don’t see why that young man doesn't propose.” “I think, pa, that the chances of his doing it would be fully as good if yon wouldn’t leave your boxing gloves around where he can see them.”—Bohemian Magazine.

STONING A TIGER. The Punishment of a Man Eater That Killed a Tibetan. Fifty year-ago tigers were very common even in Me mgb hills of western Tibet, writes C. A. Sherring in his account of that country. At the present time, however, owing to the increase of population and the general spread of cultivation, they have become rare, and the appearance of a man eater who carried off a poor old woman on the slope of Chipla created consternation. On the following day there were gathered together a hundred grim men, armed only with axes and stones, for they had not a gun among them. Fortune favored the brave, for the tiger was found asleep under a rock. At once each man dropped silently into the cover of the brushwood and piled a heap of stones near to his hand, while one of the most trusted of the party was commissioned to stalk to the top of the rock and drop a huge stone on the sleeping brute. So well was the work done that the stone fell true on the tiger’s back, and Immediately, with a roar, the wounded beast sprang up and, seeing his enemies, who leaped from their cover, charged the line. But a hundred men, desperate as to consequences, throwing stones with might and main, are not to be awed or turned from their purpose lightly. The stones broke the tiger’s teeth and went into his mouth, and his body soon became a mass of wounds. Turning, he tried to escape and took his pursuers up hill for a mile, but wherever he paused and whatever he did he could not escape the pitiless rain of missiles. The blow on his back, first given, effectively checked his speed, and finally, worn out, he cams to bay under a great cliff. The rest was easy. He was immediately hemmed in, and the stones were showered on him thicker than ever and hurled with redoubled energy. As he sank down the villagers rushed in and dispatched him with their axes. — Youth’s Companion. "volcanoes.

They Are Not Burning Mountains M Wo Understand That Term. “What are volcanoes?” Nine out of every ten persons woc’l Immediately have an answer of some sort to the question above, for have they no) a lively remembrance of having learned In their schoolbooks that “a volcano Is a burning mountain, from the summit of which are sent out smoke and flames?” This popular fancy has been exploded by scientists, whose work Is to explode popular fancies. In the first place, volcanoes are not necessarily mountains. In reality they are just the reverse—that Is, holes In the earth’s crust. Out of these are thrown the materials which, accumulating. form the heaps which we popu larly call mountains. These are, then, the result and not the cause of the action. Neither are they “burning,” as we understand the term. There Is no combustion nor any action we might reasonably call “burning.” The action need not necessarily take place at the summit, for eruptions are just as frequent at the sides or even at the base. The so called “smoke” is nothing more or less ttjan the clouds of condensing steam which are formed on every occasion when an eruption occurs. Lastly, the "flames.” so called, are merely the reflection of the mass of molten rock and material Inside the crater on the clouds of steam above, thus appearing as a glowing light. The friction, too, set up by the motion of the materials causes electricity, and hence the lightning discharges which add to the illuminating effect.—Pearson’s Magazine.

VOTED WITHOUT BALLOTS. An Election Day at Charlottesville, Va., In 1804. At Charlottesville, Va., the seat of Albemarle county, according to Miss Mary Johnston's chronicle of “Lewis Rand.” they were voting for a member of the bouse of delegates. It was the fourth Wednesday in April. The year was 1804. “Under the locust trees to the right of the open gate were placed long tabln and on them three mighty punch bowls, flanked by drinking cups and guarded by bouse servants of venerable appearance and stately manners. Here good Federalists refreshed themselves. To the left of the gate, upon the trampled grass beneath a mulberry, appeared other punch bowls and in addition a barrel of whisky ready broached for all good Democrat-Re-publicans. The sunny street was filled with horses, vehicles and servants; the broad path between the trees, the turf on either band and the courthouse steps were crowded with riotous voters. All ranks of society, all ages, occupations and opinions, met in the genial weather beneath tbe trees, where sang every bird of spring." Within the courthouse the sheriff presided. Conspicuous sat the two candidates. There were no ballots, but each voter made known bls choice by living voice: “I vote, sir,” cried the colonel, “for Mr. Ludwell Cary, for a gentleman and a patriot sir, and may tbe old county never be represented but by •uchT Off Hie Mind. “Have you forgotten that X that you borrowed of me some time ago?” “Oh, no. I still have it in my mind.” “Well, don’t yon think this would be a good time to relieve your mind of ItF

o The Tramp Family o —V [Copyright, ISOS, by American Press Association.) While making a tramp through Switzerland I stopped at a house to ask for a drink of water. I was received by a kindly old lady, who gave me a glass of wine instead of water and added some biscuits. During my refreshment a handsome vehicle stopped at the bouse, and a gentleman it contained asked me the road to Interlaken. Seeing me regaling myself, he alighted, joined me on the treilised porch and asked for a glass of wine. The old lady brought him one, with more biscuits, and we sipped, munched and chatted. The gentleman proved to be a fellow countryman of mine and asked me to proceed in his carriage, an invitation I accepted. At leaving he was surprised at not being permitted to pay the reckoning. He insisted, but the good lady was resolute. Before getting into his carriage he took a piece of red chalk from his pocket and made certain marks on a window shut ter. “Those are tramp marks you have made, are they not?’ I said, surprised. “Light up,” was his reply, handing me a cigar, “and as we roll along I’ll tell you a story.

“A citizen of St. Louis determined for the benefit of his health to drive with his wife and daughter to Denver. While crossing ‘the plains’ his vehicle, which was not fitted for such rough usage, broke down, and the party was stranded in the middle of the Great American desert. The traveler scanned the horizon for help and fortunately far to the eastward saw a white speck which he took for a prairie ‘schooner.’ It was from twelve to fifteen miles distant, and he expected that fully three hours would be required for It to come up. “But the white speck grew much more rapidly than could be accounted for by a schooner. As it came nearer those watching it were filled with astonishment. It was a schooner indeed, a schooner on wheels. The body was boat shaped, and masts extended upright from the front and rear axles, each mast supporting a sail. A man sat In rear of the front axle holding a tiller. As he drew near the party he applied a break, lowered his sails and said: ‘“Can I assist you?’ “Considering the roughness of the man's dress and his unkempt appearance, the party were surprised at his respectable bearing. “ ‘My dear sir,’ said the gentleman, •the first fa,or I would ask of you Is an explanation of this singular appearance of a wheeled boat on this old ocean bed. Is it the ghost of some prehistoric vessel wrecked ages ago many fathoms above us?’ “ ‘No, sir. When an ocean surged here there were no boats.’ “ ‘Well, who are you and wbat are you doing in this strange craft?* “ ‘l’m a tramp, a born tramp, and must always be moving just as a born soldier must always be campaigning. My father sent me to school, to college and gave me a profession. I wanted to travel, and he sent me abroad. When he wished me to stop traveling and go to work I became a tramp. Finally I got tired of making my legs go or riding under cars and wished for some method of propulsion wherein the cost was only in the vehicle. I did a little work for a wagon maker and while at his shop constructed this ship of the desert. What can I do for you?’ “There was nothing for the fellow to do but take the party aboard, which he did. The gentleman demurred at the tramp going out of his way to favor a wrecked party, but the land sailor said every way was his way. The gentleman and his family got aboard, the two older ones on a back seat, the girl forward with the tramp driver. As they sailed along before a ten knot breeze, meeting people by the way who gazed at them in astonishment, the old lady looked sour, the old gentleman winced, while the young girl giggled, evidently enjoying the trip immensely. In this fashion they rode all the way to Denver, and when they reached the city were followed to a hotel where the travelers proposed to stop by a shouting mob.

“What it was about this degenerate son of a worthy sire to attract a young girl nobody could ever find out, but the traveler's daughter had to fall in love with the sailor. Seeing her heart was

set on having him, her father consented on condition that he would stop tramping, or, rather, sailing over the face of the earth, and accept a position in his office in St. Louis. The fellow loved the girl so well that he made the sacrifice, and they were married. “The tramp stood office work as weE as he could for six months. It nearly set him crazy. During the time of hi* Imprisonment in a counting room be' disappeared for a month, ostensibly' on business, but really to tramp.' Soon after he got back his father-in-law died and left Mrs. Tramp a lot ol money. The business was sold out,' and the pair came over here for a I ’tour.’ It was really a tramp. They are moving over Europe today.” “I see,” I remarked. “You are Mr Tramp.” “I am. Mrs. Tramp and our little Tramps are at Interlaken, where J expect to join them.” “And the chalk marks?” “They are to let tbe fraternity know a soft spot” “And the schooner?” “Oh, we have that over here with us. At present it is in Egypt We're going to join a caravan with it II we get a wind well beat the eamel at to nothing.” OSCAR COX.

— A. Üboenty-J'our Hour 'Romance. — o [Copyright. 1908, by T. C. McClure.) It Is only the solemn truth to write !hat Miss Sarah Bingham was thirtyleven years old and unmarried and ihat she had romance In her soul, but it would be ungallant to add that she was In the matrimonial market and had been ever since she arrived at the ige of twenty. She had simply waited. She could afford to wait and perlisted In giving her age as twenty-five right along and making herself beieve that time was standing still on her account Miss Sarah was feeling in this sa tene and optimistic mood when she was invited by friends to be their guest at a summer hotel on the banks »f a lake. They didn’t consult her romance as much as their own interest. They had two children and a dog. and they figured on making the old maid work for her board and lodgings. She fell Into the trap, but not to her detriment. One of the male guests of the hotel, who might not have noticed her in any other walk, saw her as nurse and dog guardian and made advances. This guest was darkly supposed to be in actor —an actor who played great parts and made a greet success of his |ob, but who was there incog, and

wished to remain so. The other guests were respecting this wish, but following him about with bated breath. Actors sometimes get queer notions mto their heads, and Mr. Melnotte got ;ne into his. It was that Miss Sarah would make the greatest Juliet ( ae aver saw on the stage. She had the form, the voice, the eyes, the nose, the chin and the toes. All that was lacking were cash and a manager and the removal of just one tiny doubt—a doubt no larger than the head of a brass pin. Did she have the necessary romance? If she did, then all was well; If she didn’t, then alas! It has been stated that Miss Sarah did have romance and doted on it, but the next thing was to prove It to the actor. She took two days to cogitate and then went ahead. The hotel was surrounded by woods on three sides. One morning Miss Sarah left the whimpering dog and the howling children behind and started for the green wood and was soon lost to sight. She would be missed, searched for, found and be talked of as romantic. Miss Sarah was missed. The idea was that she had been drowned. More than half the guests turned out to drag he bottom of the lake. The actor was lot one of them. Coincident with the Harm he had been told by a fat womtn that Miss Sarah hadn't a dollar to her name. One woman asserted her belief that the missing female had eloped with a tin peddler that had been seen driving past the hotel at an early morning

hour, and in her excitement another woman said that any young lady that would leave a dog and two children to weep and wail by themselves should be severely dealt with on her return, dead or alive. These opinions were express- I ed to the actor for the purpose of drawing him out, but be refused to be drawn. He had just sat down to a mint julep with two straws in it, and why worry? Miss Sarah had entered the wood with her heart aflame with romance. She hustled her way along for half a mile and then halted for the actor to arrive at the head of a rescuing party. He didn’t arrive. She waited for an hour and then started to walk back. Her feelings were hurt, and she lost tbe points of the compass and became lost for good. When she discovered this fact she called and screamed, but only the chipmunks and the woodpeckers answered. She ran this way and stumbled over roots. She ran that way and went splashing into a creek. There was romance in the greenwood, but it was farther on. All that long, long day Miss Sarah was lost in the depths. It was almost sundown when her good genius finally guided her to a clearing with a log cabin in the midst of it. Seated at the door of the cabin was a middle aged man in homespun. He rose up and addressed her as “marm” and wanted to know all about it When he had been told he declared that it was the romanticist thing he had ever heard of. In her wanderings she had

walked seven miles. She had escaped bears and “Injuns” and wildcats, and if she wasn’t vrhat they called a heroine then he didn't know a turnip from a “tater bug.”

Miss Sarah was tired, and she rested. She was hungry, and he fed her on pudding and milk. She wanted to get back to the hotel and enjoy her triumph, and he»yoked up his oxen to the lumber wagon and drove her there through the moonlight The guests saw her coming and got ready to receive her. There was icy frigidity. 1 There was a general attitude of doubt , and suspicion. There were sneers at i romance. When the humiliated and embarrassed maiden looked at the ■ actor in an appealing way he turned his head aside and made It very plain : that she would never prance around behind the footlights with his connivance. The farmer had waited for the heroics, and he saw that there were none coming to her. He saw her crushed instead, and be stepped forward and touched her on the arm and 1 said: “Say, gal, they don’t ’pear to appreciate heroines here. Come and be my 1 heroine. I’ll drive over ag’in tomorrow for your answer.” And he did. and he got it, and then 1 the guests were all jealous because • 1 f romantic young lady had struck a good •; thing Instead of drowning herself la J i the lake or starving to death In the < wood.
