Battling Has an Experience. Battling Nelson got in wrong on his trip to Whiting on Monday. "Bat" was looking for the residence of Warren Renne, which is at Central avenue and One Hundred and Eighteenth street, and where he was to
have been entertained. Going down Laporte avenue, which Is one block east, he went into the house he thought to be the Renne home. Going up the stairs he pressed the door bell, but there was no response. After doing this for some moments he evidently began to think he had been stung, being invited to a house and to find no one at home. Putting his card under the door he went to the next house and asked the lady who came to the door whether or not Rennes, next door, were at home. The lady informed him that the Renne family did not live next door, but one block west. The pugilist was certainly surprised to find out that he had been mistaken, and told the woman he wished he could apologize for
leaving his card under the door of her
next door neighbor. .
, Not many moments elapsed before
the mistress of the house returned home. Having been to the store she
had her arms full of bundles, and when
unlocking the door she saw the card on the floor. Going to the next room
to put the articles on the table she re
turned to get the card to learn who had
called tfpon her during her short ab
sence. Picking up the card she was
amazed to see "Battling Nelson, Cham
pion Lightweight of the World." Aft
er pondering over the incident for some
moments she went next door and told
her neighbor of finding Nelson's card
under the door, and said she thought
she had better dress up In armor to pre
pare for his return.
It was then that the two stories were
put to gether and the true facts were
sifted out, that Nelson had called at house No. 1 by mistake and that the
mistress of house No. 2 was engaged in conversation with none other than the champion lightweight of the world.
The incident has passed around the
neighborhood and whenever house
wives in the vicinity of One Hundred
and Eighteenth street and Laporte av
enue hear of Battling Nelson the mis take of the card will be rehearsed.

relief. I gave every remedy I thought would help me, a trial, but without being benefitted in the least. Finally I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and how many cases of kidney diseases
they had cured, after doctors had failed. I decided to try them and procured a box at Blcknell & Co', drug store. I Improved soon after I began taking
