Throngh the Craoks.

When the celebrated divine, fid ward Irvins, vu on a preaching tour .In Scotland, two Dumfries men of decided opinions went to hear him. When they left the hall one said to the other: “Well, Willie, what do yon think r “Oh,” said the other, contemptuously, "the man’s cracked!” The first speaker laid a quiet hand on his shoulder. “Will," said he, “you’ll often see • light peeping through a crack.”

In Every Walk of Life.

People In every walk of life have bad backs—kidneys g o wrong and’ the hack be-J gins to ache.] Cure sieki kidneys and; b a c k a Che= quickly a p p e a r s.j Read this tea tlmony and learn how It can be done:

A. A. Boyce, a farmer, living three and a half miles from Trenton, Mo., says; “A severe cold settled In my kidneys and developed so quickly that I was obliged to lay off work on account of the aching In my back and sides. For a time I was unable to walk at all, and every makeshift I tried and all the medicine I took bad not the slightest effect My back continued to grow weaker until I was unfit for anything. Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney Pills advertised as a sure cure for just such conditions and one day when In Trenton Bhe brought a box home from Chas. A. Foster’s drug store. I followed the directions carefuly when taking them and I must say I was more than surprised and much more gratified to notice the backache disappearing gradually until It finally stopped.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Boyce will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For saJe by all druggists, price 00 cents per box.

“He Is the personification of love Itself.” “How do you make that out?” “Why, he thinks she’s beautiful.” “Well?” “Well, that proves that he Is blind, and so is love.”—Chicago Post.

THE PINKHAM CURES imiCTDfl GREAT ATTHTIOJ AIGIG HUKHG WOIEL Mrs. Frances Stafford, of 243 E. 114th St., N.Y. City, adds her testimony to the hundreds of thousands on Mrs. Pinkfaam’s files. When Lydia E. Pinkham’s Remedies were first introduced skeptics all over the country frowned upon their curative claims, but as year after year has rolled by and the little group of women wno had been cured by the new discovery has since grown into a vast arnjy of hundreds of thousands, doubts and skepticisms have been swept away as by a mighty flood, until to-day the great good that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physician! and thinking people. Merit alone could win such fame; • wise, therefore,, is the woman who for a cure relies upon Lydia E. Pinkbam'sVegetableCompound.

NEGRO DIES AT THE STAKE.

Delaware Mob Burn* Girl’* Stayer After Orerpowering Jail Guard*. Fired by ministers of the go«i>el and the women of Wilmington, Del., George White, a negro, accused of attacking and murdering Miss , Helen S,- Bishop, was taken from the' Newcastle workhouse Monday night, after a fierce battle with the guards in which several men were ■hot, and tied to a stake and burned. The .negro confessed and was shot fall of bullets as he was burning at tlhe •take. Four of the citizens who took White from the workhouse were shot, one fatally. , Following the verdict of the coroner’s jury moba gathered in the streets of Wilmington throughout the afternoon and night. Finally, 4,000 strong, the mob marched, singing and cheering, toward the worklhoute, about a mile and a half outside the city. There was no demonstration on the part of the mob when the police arrived. The crowd seemed to be holding back, waiting for the leadership of some person still expected. Suddenly up the roadway, galloping swiftly, came half a dozen horsemen. They dismounted and soon they had organized several squads of men armed with heavy railroad ties. With a rush and a whoop squad after (quad charged upon the workhouse door with the improvised battering ram. The doors crashed in and the moh charged Into the hallway. The police then drew their revolvers and fired into the crowd. But the mob paid no attention to clubs or bullets. The police were carried off their feet and knocked down, trampled npon and the mob passed over /them into the corridors of the jail. It was shortly before midnight when they had located the cell where White was confined. Swinging lanterns, they peered in and made sure of the negro’s identification. He fell on his knees, •creaming piteouriy for mercy. With a noose around his neck and the mob of thousands at his heels the negro was started toward Price’s Corners, the scene of his attack upon Helen Bishop. There on the spot where the girl’s mutilated body was found had already been erected a great pile of pine kindling and straw, and to a stake driven in the middle of this the negro was tied. The whole pyre was saturated with kerosene and then the torch was applied. When he found that his case was hopeless the negro confessed the deed and did not spare himself in telling It. The flames leaped up and reached the man’s hands. Suddenly the ropes on .hie legs parted and he sprang from the fire. A man struck him on the head with a fence rail and knocked him down. Others threw him back into the flames.

SLAVERY IN ALABAMA.

Sereranent Starts an Investigation Into Awful Outrages. The investigation of the peonage cases by the federal grand jury at Montgomery, Ala., has brought out evidence of more shocking crimes than existed in the ■lnTe days. Many negroes have shown scars from the lash and others showed where their bones had been broken with Clubs. One affidavit signed by six negroes told the following story of the murder of Sarah Nealy, a negro woman: “I was at Mr. Turner’s place. She came on Monday and stayed until Tuesday. She came down to Fletcher Turner’s. We were in the new ground. She could not pile brush like he wanted her to and he took her down and placed her across a log. I ■ held her feet and another negro held her by the head. Allen Turner whipped her with a buggy trace 100 lashes. Then he put a pair of handcuffs ou her and tied a ropg around iter wrists, and made me draw her up *o her feet would just touch the ground, and he let her hang two hours. “Just about dinner we lowered her and •he crawled over to some brushes. Mr. Turner told me to throw her a pone of bread. She said she couldn’t eat. After dinner I was told to go and tell her she must go to work. She pulled the lid of her eye down and said she could not see. She then crawled behind the brush pile and laid down and never got' up any more. Allen Turner beat her over the head with a pistol again and she died.” The principal offender against the peonage" law, John W. Pace of Tallapoosa County, has practically confessed. He did not believe that he could be punished. Indeed, he told Mr. Reese and Mr. Sternfeldt that he had committed no crime. There are others among the indicted men who have turned government evidence. Their stories disclose the conspiracy to violate not only the laws of Alabama, but of the United States for the purpose of maintaining a system of •lavery. They have trafficked in negroes to the extent of buying and selling them.

Jobe should not forgot for a moment that it has a reputation to lire up to in the matter of weather. From this time fosth only one presidential bee will be permitted to buzz officially in the Republican party. Summer resort advertisement writers are now throwing in all the thrillers that the breakfaet-food men have not used. Jett and White have been run in on a charge of having painted Breathitt County (Ky.) red. Officials hope to be able to round lip the other colors of the rainbow in a few days. Considering- how extensively some of the postoffice officials seem to have devoted their talents to “grafting” it is somewhat surprising that they found time to conduct the nation’s postal business •t aIL It appears to be the regulation way now for bad men who intend to shoot the President to-hunt up the officers, of the itw and tell them all about it ' Also It is the safest way. Those Washington teachers who were satirised by their pupils may pot have deserved such treatment, but the methods which they have taken to show their resentment do not hoar out the theory. That German naval ensign who was degraded and lined for killing a friend who failed to salute him was very modi annoyed that he was not promoted sad turned loose by the court marital.

Counterfeiters' Conscience.

William Jp. Hasan, formerly chief of the United States secret service, recently said, in conversation with the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Herald, that it la apparently an lrr|)ossibility for a man to make a perfect counterfeit coin or note. It Is certain, he said, that a perfect counterfeit has never been made, and, strange as it may seem, with all the will and endeavor In the world couniterfeiters have never turned out a perfect Job, although they get many details of the bill or coin to perfection. Some power seems to gain possesof these criminals at a crucial moment and render their art vain. Even the most expert engravers, and it of course la well known that some bf the best.have gone Into the counterfeiting business, cannot turn out in their counterfeit work the perfect results which they can readily get In legitimate work. With counterfeit .bonds it la the same aa with notes or coins. The real reason for this I have never been able to fathom. It may be psychic. The criminals themselves, so far aa I have ever talked with them, have Indicated to me that they believe It la conscience which balks them. It Is not, however, always by reason of a defect that a counterfeit Is detected. Sometimes suspicion la raised merely by an indefinable impression on the part of a treasury or bank employe that a bill or coin does not look or feel just right, and then examination discloses the fatal error In the bogus money.

Sedgwick, Ark., June 22.—Mr. W. S. Taylor of this place says: “My little boy had Dropsy. Two doctors —the best In this part of the country—told me he would never get better, and to have seen him anyone else would have said they were right. His feet and limbs were swollen so that he could not walk nor put on his shoes. “When, the doctors told me he would surely die, I stopped giving him their medicine and began giving him Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I gave him three pills a day and at the end of eight days the swelling was all gone, but as I wanted to be sure, I kept on with the pills fensometime, gradually reducing the quantity, till finally I stopped altogether. “Dodd’s Kidney Pills certainly saved my child’s life. Before using them he was a helpless invalid In his mother’s arms from morning till night. Now he is a healthy, happy child, running and dancing and singing. I can never express our gratitude. “Dodd’s Kidney Pills entirely cured our boy after everybody, doctors and all, had given him up to die.”

The Way She Identified Them.

One of the most eccentric characters of old Nantucket was Eliza Ann McCleave. She kept a museum, where she lectured to the spectators. One day, pointing to two small figures, she said: ‘Now, friends, take notice of these figures; one Is Caesar, the other Brutus I’ve forgotten which Is which. Mary Lizzie, tell me which of these got slewed.”

Poetle Irony.

Ths celebrated Norwegian poet, Bjorastjeme Bjorn son, observed his seventieth birthday last December. The occasion brought forth many stories about him, among them thin one, which the Argonaut repeats: Once some one asked him at what moment In bis life he bad taken the greatest pleasure In knowing that he was a poet - “It was when a delegation from the Right (the Conservative party of the Norwegian Storthing, or Parliament) came to my house and smashed all the windows. When they . had thus attacked me. and were starting to go away, they felt they ought to sing something, and so they struck up, ‘Yes, we love this land of our a’ “They couldn’t do anything else. They had to sing the song of the man whom they had attacked.”
