Weak Kidneys Weak Kidneys, surely point to weak kidney Nerves. The Kidneys, like the Heart, and the Stomach, find their weakness, not in the organ itself, but in the nerves that control and guide and strengthen them. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is a medicine specifically prepared to reach these controlling nerves. To doctor the Kidneys alone, is futile. It is a waste of time, and of money at well. , If your back aches or is weak, if the urine scalds, or is dark and strong, if you have symptoms of Brights or other distressing or dangerous kidney disease, try Dr. Shoop's Restorative a month— Tablets or Liquid—and see what it can and will do for you. Druggist recommend and sell Dr. Shoop’s Restorativo A. F. LONG. ■NJOTICK TO HEIRS, CREDITORS, DEVISEES AND LEGATEES. In the matter of the estate of George Gowland, deceased.

STATE CORN SHOW. January 14-19. 1907, Purdue Univer-sity.-—Large Premiums Already Donated. The second annual corn show will be held by the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association, January 1419, 1907, in connection with the corn school at Pardue University. This show being held in connection with the corn school is of great educational value. At no place in the state will there be brought together more representative samples of corn than at Purdue. The state will be divided into five sections as was done last year. Premiums will be offered for the different classes of corn in each section. In this way every farmer in the state has a fair chance—competition being limited to exhibitors from his section. Exhibitors from the north, central and southern parts of the state will come into competition only in the sweepstakes classes. Large premiums, as corn planters, walking plows, and fertilizer, have already been donated. A large amount of cash has also been contributed to the premium fund It is hoped that the premiums offered will be sufficient innumber and size to encourage the best efforts of every farmer in selecting and exhibiting a sample of corn. All interested in the corn show should apply to G. I. Christie, Secretary, Lafayette, Ind., for circulars. harmfuTstomachlosing. No Need of It When Hyomei Is Used to Cure Catarrh. Do not try to cure catarrh of the head by dosing the stomach. This is neither common sense nor scientific, as the less medicine one swallows the better. To cure catarrhal troubles, breathe the healing Hyomei and the medication will go right to the spot where the catarrhal germs are present, and free the system from all catarrhal poison. B. F. Fendig has seen so many cures of catarrh made by Hyomei, some of them chronic cases, that he gives an absolute guarantee of cure or money will be refunded : with every outfit he sells. The j complete Hyomei outfit costs but sl, while extra bottles of Hyomei if needed are but 50 cents,

THINK OF THIS ONE niNUTE. How does it happen that the Studebaker factory in South Bend, Ind., covering 101 acres, is the largest vehicle factory in the world? How does it happen that more than a million Studebaker vehicles are in use the world over? How does it happen that the Studebaker business has shown a steady growth and increase every year for more than fifty years? How does it happen that the Studebaker reputation for all that goes to make a good vehicle is higher today than ever before? Do you think it just happened or was there a reason for it? You know there must have been a reason and this is it. The absolute reliability of the Studebaker product. It appeals to careful buyers, men who are satisfied only with the best. If you belong to that class, if you like a good farm rather than a poor farm, a good borse rather than a poor horse, a good wagon rather than a a poor wagon, we ask you to investigate the Studebaker before buying. See the Studebaker agent C. A. Roberts the buggy Man. Rensselaer, Ind.

At the Other End

By CLAUDE PAMARES

Mr. Fullx Bradbury sat in the smoking room of a hotel and smoked a cigar. Last week h<? was Mr. Jame.l Taylor; the week before that he was Mr. Hiram Brows. Mr. Felix Bradbury changed his name and his habitation as often as he thought the police had discovered him. Sometimes they hustled him around pretty lively, and again they let him rest and take on flesh. This was one of his resting spells, and yet he was not quite happy. His funds were at a low ebb, his partner was in Sing Sing on a ten year sentence, and nothing in his line seemed to turn up. Mr. Bradbury’s specialty was cracking cribs. With him “crib” meant anything with a roof on it—dwelling, store, bank or warehouse. He was also a fair hand at the confidence game and had been known to rob half a dozen guests of a hotel the same evening. Taken all in all. he was a good all round man, and it wasn’t his fault that luck was against him. Even If his money was low lie was making a big bluff by dressing well and ordering the best the menu afforded. Mr. Bradbury was wondering how much the next detective who arrested him would demand for letting him go again when oue of the bell boys suddenly appeared and said: “You are wanted at the telephone, sir.” The gentleman of the jimmy gave a start pf surprise and then proceeded to the instrument in the next room. Few knew of his presence in the city, and they would hardly chance calling him up over the wire. The problem was soon solved, however. In answer to his hello a girl’s voice started off with: “So I've got you at last, have I? I’ve been trying for half an hour. Are you coming home this evening?” “I don’t know,” was the doubtful reply of Mr. Bradbury, who instantly

THEBE ON THE TABLE LAY THE BIG BULGING ENVELOPE.

realized that a mistake had been made, but had a natural curiosity to hear more of It. “But you must come. Papa Is in a great stew. He meant to go down today and deposit some bonds in safe deposit, but has sprained his ankle and Is laid up and swearing at a great rate. The safe has got out of kilter and can't be unlocked, and there are $30,000 worth of bonds lying around loose. You must come up for the night and take them down In the morning. It may be a week before papa can get out. You know mamma is in bed, and I can’t leave her. And you will come?” “Why, yes, I guess so. Where are you?” “At home, of course.” “Well—er—you know” — stammered Mr. Bradbury, with his heart in his mouth as he thought of those bonds and realised that he didn’t know where the other end of the wire was located. “If you don’t come papa will have a fit. Have you got a cold that your voice sounds so husky?” “Yes, a bad cold, but I will get up there. It may be late, and you’d better leave the front door unlocked.’’ “You mean the side door.” “Yes; the side door. Leave it unlocked." “Have you been losing your key again?” “It’s either lost or mislaid. You can leave the door unlocked and all go to bed. Sorry for the governor. He shouldn’t try to be so spry. Goodby.”

Somewhere within a few miles of Felix Bradbury was a house In which there were a sick mother, a father laid up with a sprain and a girl of eighteen or twenty the sole protector. In that house were $30,000 worth of bonds ready to be had for the taking, and it is needless to say that the man of many names felt his mouth water at the prospect. At the same time he cursed fate because he didn’t know the location of the house and couldn’t see how he was going to find out. Two minutes later Providence came to his assistance. Providence does assist the wicked as well as tbe good, at least on occasions. Two young men sat down near him.i and he heard one call the other Bradbury. So there were two Bradburys,, and the bell boy had summoned the wrong one. A littlq, later there was l talk of the country, and within half

an hour the crib cracker had tils case at his fingers’ ends. The girl had telephoned him from a few miles out of Boston. He could reach the country seat within a few hours by train. Mr. Felix Bradbury bought a quarter Cigar on the strength of his prospects and made for the depot. The girl’s brother wouldn’t be troubled to take those bonds to the safe deposit In the morning. In the country house Miss Bessie Bradbury sat up until 11 o’clock. It was at that hour before her father ceased swearing at the stairs on which he had slipped, at the doctor who told? him to lie quiet for a week and at the family burglar proof safe for getting out of order. “Will probably will come on the midnight train,” she mused as she saw that the side door was left free fori him to enter, “and I am going to give him a scare about those bonds. If I lead him to think that the house has been robbed, maybe it will scare his hoarseness away.” There were old bonds in the safe and out of It. There were silver mine bonds worth 1 cent on the dollar for the pictures on them, and there were coal oil bonds worth 3 cents a pound as paper rags. The elder Mr. Bradbury had invested in his time. It was no trouble at all for Miss Bessie to hunt up thirty SI,OOO bonds, worth altogether 30 cents, and put them in the envelope in place of those issued by Uncle Samuel. The latter she carried up to her room with her, aud by and by the house grew quiet. It was then that Mr. Felix Bradbury approached to reap the ripening grain. He had the girl’s word that the side door would be left unlocked. He found it so. He entered noiselessly, turned on his dark lantern and proceeded to business. What more fitting place in a house for bonds than the library! Only now and then is a man mean enough to hide them in the oven of the cook stove before going to bed. On the way to tbo , library Mr. Bradbury stopped to partake of a glass of wine aud a cold lunch in the dining room. His appetite was good and his prospects all that could be desired. He expected to have to spend some time in search, but uo sooner had he entered the library than there on the table lay the big bulging envelope. At 7 o’clock next morning Miss Bradbury’s papa was swearing again. He swore so hard and so continuously that it was ten minutes before she found out that the house had been robbed during the night. The boijds were gone! The burglar had entered by the side door, which she had been silly enough to leave unlocked. She had been promised a trip to Europe. Now she couldn’t have It. She had been promised an auto. Now ler father would see her riding in a wheelbarrow first. He was going on to check off other pains and penalties when she laid the good bonds under his nose and told of the joke she had put up on Will. While she was telling it the young man arrived. It required considerable Sherlock Holmesing to clear up the mystery, and the problem had not yet been solved when the telephone rang and Miss Bessie was called by a servant. It was the same voice as on the previous evening, only there was an aggrieved tone to it. “Well, what Is It?” “I found the side door unlocked.” "Yes?” “I found the bonds on the library table.” • “Yes?” “I have tumbled to your little joke.” "Yes?” “And if I commit murder while cracking my next crib you may know that you drove me to it. Goodby!”

Keats’ Epitaph.

Shortly before his death Keats left strict injunctions that his headstone should bear these words: Here lies one whose name was writ in water. For nearly forty years a simple gravestone bearing these words marked the spot where Keats lay—the graveyard of the English church in Rome—but in 1859 Joseph Severn, w hose hand Keats held when he died, wrote to Mr. Dilke, father of the present Sir Charles Dilke, suggesting the following epitaph, which was subsequently adopted: This grave contains the mortal remains of John Keats, A Young English Poet, who died at Rome, Feb. 20, 1820, aged 23 years. His short life was so embittered by discouragement and sickness that he desired these words to mark his grave: “Here lies one whose name was writ in water." Time having reversed this sentence, his friends and admirers now Inscribe his name in Marble 1859.

Odd Auction Incident.

“A Pittsburg millionaire once saved me from the commission of a dreadful error,” said an Atlantic City auctioneer. "We put up a lot of secondhand art books, books with colored plates, one rainy day, and among the lot was a set of Audubon’s ‘Birds of America.’ I knew little about books—the useful arts are my line—and I was quite ready to let this set go for $25 when my Pittsburg friend, happening In, bld SSOO. “Of course the books went to him, but after the sale he told me he didn’t want them.. “ ‘Take them back,’ he said, ‘and ship them to New York. You can get $1,500 for this set It is a first edition.’ “Sure enough, the set brought sl,700 in New York two months later. It had been forwarded to me through a shipping clerk’s error, and I’d have let it go for nothing had it not been for the knowledge and kindness of thia Pittsburg millionaire.”
