CHIEF OF POLICE SAVED.

Newberry, S. C—W. H. Harris, chief cf police of Newberry, says: “I suffered for a number of years with kidey complaint. There *was a dull aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and made me feel miserable all the time. The kidney secretions were dark and full of sediment, .and 'lack of contrel compelled me to rise a number of times

during the night. Between this annoy-

ance and the backache it was impossi)ble for me to get much sleep and my health was being undermined. I tried a number of remedies, but nothing helped me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy according to directions promptly brought ‘about a change for the better. After using two: boxes the backache all left me, the kidney secretions cleared up and the action of the kidneys became normal.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured.

Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally

Attacking Some Organ.

Ails tLat come from coffee are cumulative, that is, unless the coffee is taken away new troubles are continually appearing and the old ones get worse." A

“To begin with,” says a Kansan, “I was a slave to coffee just as thousands of others to-day; thought I could not live without drinking strong coffee every morning for bfeakfast and I had sick headaches that kept me in bed several days every month. Could hardly keep my food on my stomach, but would vomit as long as I could throw anything up and when I could get hot coffee to stay on my stomach I thought I was better. o 3 -

“Well, two years ago this spring I was that sick”with rheumatism I could not use my right arm to do.anything, had heart trouble, was nervous. My nerves were all unstrung and my finger nails and tips were blue as if I had a chill all the time, and my face and hands yellow as a pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart ‘disease and rheumatism and my neighbors said I had Bright’s Disease and was going to die. - T :

“Well, I did not know what on earth was the matter and every morning would drag myself out of bed and g 0 to breakfast, not to eat anything, but to force down some more coffee. Then in a little while I would be so nervous, my heart would beat like everything. “Finally one morning I told my husband I believed coffee. was the cause of thig trouble and that I thought I would try Postum, which I had seen ad~ vertised. He said "All right,’ so we pot Postum, and although I did not like it at first I got right down to business and made it according to directions, then it was fine and the whole family 'got to using it, and I tell you it has worked wonders for me. Thanks to Postum in place of the poison, coffee, I now enjoy good health, have not been in bed with sick headache for two years, although I had it for 30 years before I began Postum and my nerves are now strong and I have no trouble from my heart or from ‘the rheumatism. v

THIS STORY HAS A MORAL. It’s About a Little Stranger Who Now Is ““the Nicest Girl on Eukin Street.” ~ That’s what they call Drusilla now, the other little girls who live on Eukin street—which isn’t mentioned in the city directory, but which is a real street just the same. But when Drusilla first came to live on Eukin stree: the other little girls didn € so call her. In fact, they ecalled her “that horrid new girl,” instead. And Drusilla got to hear of it, somehow, and felt just as unhappy as you or I would do.in similar case. S - Now Drusilla isn’t horrid she never was horrid, never was anything but a nice, sweet, sensible little girl. The other girls only thought she must be horrid because they didn’t know her, and didn’t want to take anyone else into their ‘“‘set.””" All the other littl2 girls on Eukin street—which is such a short street that -nearly everybody living on it knows everybody else—had known each other since they could remember. They thought it would be “just awful” to have arother little girl walking to and from school with them, playing on and about the lawns and the empty lot they all shared in common during vacation season,- taking part in all the fun. Therefore they snubbed Drusilla, without stopping to think about it. When she walked down the side of the street on which they were playing they all crossed to the other side; and when she shyly smiled at them they just looked ugly, instead of smiling back. In fact, Jimmie Murphy did say that he believed his sister Annie put out her tongue at Drusilla, one day, but Mrs. Murphy said she could scarcely believe one of her children could be so rude and illbred as that. And Annie didn’t say anything; only her cheeks were very red.

It was the very next day that all got acquainted with Drusilla, and it came about so simply. The little pet puppy dog that Jennie Crews was trying to bring up ran away by itself and didn't come back at all. And Jennie almos® cried as the twilight darkened; it did seem so awful to think of that poor little, dear little, dog out alone in the dark, hungry and cold, and as miserable as could be. But Puppykins never came back, although she called and called ..im, and all the other girls 0 o NN e= s — suneon £ lg //‘g;"df—;'_?:: 100 Loy, T == e~ Yl\ T OR= ‘ 7 if}f‘;" RN ey il | SN - ‘ //m% A : o \ ey - J Ly L (T 12 S A= A 7 J ! - qm\\t\\ A THEY SNUBBED DRUSILLA, went over to visit Jennie in the eve‘ning, 'to try and cheer her up. . They were all trying to play merry igames and pretending they were not thinking of the puppy at all when ‘there came a:gentle little ring at the door-bell. And there on they step—‘they all rushed to the door, hoping it might be somebody with the puppy—}stood Drusilla, and she had a little brown bundle in her-arms.

_“He was crying in a corner of the vacant lot, just crying like a baby,” explained Drusilla, all smiles and blushes and friendly excitement and shyness, “and I knew he was your puppy, so I brought him home.” ‘“Come in, dear, and play with the others,” said Mrs. Crews, appearing behind the eager group of little girls who surged about the puppy and came near to forgetting his new friend. And she gently drew the little stranger, who would have slipped off silently, in among the rest. * Ten minutes later they were all playing again, with the puppy safely, warmly tucked up in his basket, and Drusilla was as merry and lively as any of them. And now—though ali this happened but a few weeks ago—they call Drusilla the nicest girl on the street,” as I told you. Of course she was just as nice from the beginning, only they wouldn’t give her a chance to show it. And—well, if you have any “new little girls” in your neighborhood, children, you might bear this true story in mind.— Chicago Record-Herald.

SOME TRUE DOG STORIES.

One Shaggy Little Canine Saved a _ Train and a Big St. Bernard Rescued a Miner.

Twenty-five dellars for a dog collar seems like a waste of money but there is a shaggy little canine out in Colorado who earned a collar eosting that amount, and so long as he earned it himself nobody need care. It was this way. One stormy night, & few months ago, the dog’s master wag aroused iR the middle of the night by a furious barking, and, upon investigating, discovered that a burning bridge on the railroad near by was-the cause of the disturbance. Back and forth from the house to the bridge and from -.the bridge to the house the excited dog ran, becoming quieted only when his master dressed and visited the scene of the fire, which he did just in time to flag a long freight train, thus saving it from destruction. For his wise act in saving the ‘train $25 was sent to doggie’s owner, and the entire amount was spent on the fine collar which he nOwW wears.

Prince Leo, a monster St. Bernard, living in the Arkansas range of Colorado, is another wonderful dog. So many wonderful things has Prince Leo accomplished that his master lately refused an offer of $20,000 for him. One of this dog’s remarkable acts occurred during a blizzard in February, near the Little Louisa mine. A workman had been sent some distance for a can of machine oil, but the storm increased with such fury that the man was unable to return, wandering about the mountain side in a dazed condition, until finally, exhau_gted, he fell and lost consciousness. Alarmed at the workman’s prolonged absence, Prince Leo was called, given the scent and dispatched to search for the miss-

Hours passed. The storm increased until an awful howling hurricane with sleet and snow swept every foot of the mountains and canyons, and all hope for the return of either the -man or the brave dog was abandoned. - However, at nine o’clock that night Prince Leo’s barking was heard at the mine cabin door, where he was found with his unconscious burden. Once inside the cabin the faithful beast refused to allow anyone to touch his charge until he had succeeded in licking the sufferer back to consciousness. ; ; And here’s the story of a common, big, yellow dog, who has lately been arrested. It is so—arrested by the Mexican authorities charged with being a smuggler! This dog's owner, a cunning Mexican, has for months used the animal in evading the customs laws by tying to the dog’s neck a basket in which contraband goods - were placed. The canine was taught to sneak with his locad through the ' river boskets and aecrcss the border ‘— into the United States, thus escaping the alert eyes of the government riders who patrol the line. At last, however, the animal was captured with evidenee of guilt in his basket, and now he is in prison with his master. Poor fellow! He only did what he thought was his duty, but the law is strict as to smugglers, and no doubt this dog will be’ severely punished. What child living in the cities lis there, asks the Chicago Record—Her-‘: ald, who does not despise the dogcatcher? Well, the.other day one of these miserable dog-catchers took from the door of a poor family their sole guardian and comfort, Zip, the children’s playmate, and dragged him off to the pound, where he was to be killed just because his owners were too poor to purchase a - tag for him Pleadings at the pound availed not but an officer of the Humane society heard of the occurrence, and after looking into the matter and finding that Zip was really useful as a watch dog, interceded with the mayor, and in consequence carried to the poundkeeper, much to the children’s glee, a regular pardon for their companion, who trotted home happy, bearing in his mouth a huge bone which the officer gave him. This is, perhaps, the first case on record where a dog has received an official pardon, regularly signed and sealed.

i Dog Tried to Save Child.

With a big dog at her side, trying to save her, a two-year-old daughter of Edward F. Watson, of Mechanics’ Grove, near Lancaster, Pa., was found almost lifeless in a swamp nearly two miles from her home. When the littleone was missed neighbors joined in a search, and. the country for miles around was scoured, as it was believed that she had been kidnaped. After severat hours’ hunt the attention of the searchers was attracted to a swamp by the barking of a dog, and there they found the child in mud and water upto hershoulders. ' The faithful dog was tugging at her clothes ‘in a futile effort to extricate her. The child was rescued just in tinfé to save her, as she was in an exhausted condi: tion. 1t is supposed the little girl followed the dogin wandering away. .~ White Elephant Is Sacred.

Insert four posts of durable timber, 22 feet long, in the ground to a depth of four feet. Stick should square at least eight inches, corners hewn off, making it a rough octagon in shape.

(hardly shown in cut), to support the roof. Roof should run to a point from each side, and may be shingled, tinned or thatched. There are four plates framed together; and braced. The posts pass up through the roof on the inside corners of the plates. The roof is elevated and lowered with a small screw of wood or iron, about two feet long. A wooden screw three inches in diameter will answer. This is used on the inside of the post. One man can raise and lower the roof if it is done as fast as the hay is put in or taken out. Raise each corner of the roof oné foot at a time, going regularly around the barrack. The roof will not be likely to blow off, if the above directions are followed in building. The posts, as far as they enter the ground, may be left the full size of the stick.

A NEW VARIETY OF OATST

“Wisconsin No 4” Has Yielded Large Crope, with High Percentage of Meat to Hull.

The lowa experiment station distributed last spring to northern and central Jowa farmers several hundred bushels of an early white oat called “Wisconsin No. 4,” which has given excellent satisfaction in Wisconsin, where it was first introduced. Its history is as follows: M. A. Carleton, cerealist for the United States government, visited Russia in 1898, and in northern Russia he saw a type of oats growing that greatly interested him. Its stiff straw, wide panicle and large kernel showed it to be a desirable quality of oats. He found on inquiry that it was an early maturing oat. It came from Sweden, and was one of the standard types of northern Russia. Mr. Carleton secured %LL bushels for the department of agriculture, listing it as No. 2,788. A small quantity of this seed was obtained by the Wisconsin experiment station in 1899 and placed in a variety test of oats. By careful selection, Prof. Moore, the station agronomist, has developed a very desirable type of early oat well adapted to Wisconsin climate @nd soil conditions, and has named it Wiscongin No. 4. It is the most satisfactory ione ‘tested at the university farm. It invariably yields well, shows a stiff 'straw—therefore does not easily lodge /—has a good-sized kernel with a light I-hull, and weighs usually from 36 to 40 pounds per measured bushel. It gen"j,erally ripens in 90 days from seeding. It yields from 5 to 15 bushels more per acre than any other variety. Its high percentage of meat to hull gives promise of a good milling oat. ‘

Neatness a Good Investment.

Many farms are estimated below their true value because of slovenly appearance. Weeds higher than the fences, trees blown down and left to rot, fences cut of repair, gates and barn-doors off their hinges, or swinging on one hinge, unsightly litter in door-yard and at the barn—these and many such . evidences of carelessness depreciate the value of any farm. The soil may be excellent, the water facilities all that could be asked for, and all natural advantages requisite to make a good, high-priced farm may exist—and vet' that farm scarcely makes its owner a living, and would hunt a long, long time for a buyer.—Midland Farmer.,

Johnson Grass in Southwest.

Johnson grass has become such a nuifance to farmers in some parts of Texas that they have been compelled to adopt legislative measures to eradicate it. A law has been passed forcing railroads to keep their right of way absolutely free of it, in order that the grass may not spread in adjoining fields.. The Santa Fe railroad has engaged the services of a professional grass exterminator, and thus far he has made a success of it. Johnson grass makes a good pasture and good, hay, but.is a decided nuisance to the crop raiser, as the more it is plowed up, the better i‘t seems to grow. - Keep Vermin Powder Handy. On a shelf out of reach of the fowls keep a box of lice powder, a bottle with spraying solution, box of vaseline or tarbolized lard and a ball of string. The bottle should be fitted with a notched cork to allow the fluid to escape. A few whirls of the bottle over the roosts and about walls and floors will keep the house smelling sweet and destroy germs. Crude carbolic acid is one of the best germ destroyers. It should be used with a spray, and one ounce added to each gallon of whitewash.

IT PAYS TO KEEP BOOKS.

Advantages of Definite Records in Poultry Keeping Are Numerous and Helpful. *

Poultry keepers who for the first time begin keeping an account with their fowls—a careful record of the outgo and ‘income—are apt to be somewhat surprised at the end of the year. With some the surprise may be very agreeable, while with others it may be the opposite. At any rate, it is apt to result in some:changes for the better. If the balance is on the right side and the owner is ‘well satisfied, it is likely to encourage him to do a little better the next year. If the books foot up against him, he will probably make an effort to improve matters, either by giving more attention to the hens, or by going out of the business entirely. The latter, no doubt. would be the most sensible for some. I will tell of a farmer's wife who decided that it would be " better to know exactly what the hens were bringing in; so three years ago she procured a poultry and egg record book for the purpose, and she has learned by this bockkeeping that her Leghorns lay about 120 eggs per year, the weight of the eggs being more than four times the hen’s own weight, which is about three and one-quarter pounds. She has learned the value of the feed given the hens, and says that the cost of eggs produced in ner yards is three and one-half cents in the summer and five cents per Jdozen in the winter. " These fowls are given better tare than the average farm flock gets, yet no special pains has been taken with them, only good all-rocund care. The point to impress upon those who keep poultry is this; if this person had not kept an account with her fowls she wouid not have known what they were turning in, and it would be dificult to make others around her believe that her hens were doing so well except {for those figures in ‘“black and white.” Even in a poor market this woman ‘would clear more than a dollar pér head on her hzns. ' But'there are a great many peopie who are keeping poultry who are not doing this; no, they are not even making “both ends meet.” but they don’t know it. Then there are others who say that the hens don’t pay for their keep, and are. a nuisance, when if they really knew what they were talking about. they would find the hens the most profitable stock on the place. But these are matters that cannot be definitely determined without keeping a book account with the fowls. Many people dislike to be bothered setting anything down; they prefer tolet things €0 on, and guess at the profit or loss. The ones that make the most money, no matter what they are doing, are those who have a system for carrying on their business. They have things in the proper place, and when eggs are gathered it takes less than a minute to get down the number brought in. When the eggs or poultry are sold it is not much trouble to put down the amount received, and at the eng of the year it is not-much bother to foot it all up, but it is interesting all the way through. Don’t take my word for it; try it for one year. —Agricultural. Epitomist. .

SUMMER POULTRY NOTES.

How to Arrange a Watering Dish for the Chicks That Cannot Be Tipped Over. ; :

Get a small wooden box which will contain the drinking vessel with very

L little room to Ve ‘ spare. Set this . a J’ box on the floor : against the wall and nail securely. Fill the dish with water and set it inside the box, and the most supid hen cannot tip it over. The water does not become soiled quickly, for the hens stand cn the box instead of on the edge of the dish. Vermin of all kinds increase rapidly in warm weather. Use kercsene and whitewash freely and frequently to hold them in check.

To cure or prevent gapes in chickens mix one heaping teaspoonful flowers of sulphur in enough dry corn meal for 30 or 35 chicks. Wet with skim milk or water to make it crumbly and feed once a day. The chicks are fond of it and it has always stopped the gapes with mine.—Farm and Home.

Return. to the Otd Ways.

" Some of the old ways of farming are as good as the new. The old methods tended to'conserve and increase the humus content of the soil. Later the fer-:ilizer-craze set in, and little attention was paid to preventing the exhaustion of :he humus in the soil, which has resulted in the decrease of the average yield of the grain and oil-seed crops. Now, after 50 years of an exhaustive system of stimulated culture, there has come an urgent appeal from scientific sources ‘or farmers to use every possible means to increase humus in the soil by growilng and turning under the nitrogengathering crops, and to make a more judicious use of commercial fertilizers by using a quantity of them in connection with a greatly increased amount of barn-yard manure.—Farm and Fireside. 3

The Use of Lime on Land.

© During the last few years the use of lime on land has greatly increased. This is the result of investigations as to the free acid in land of whieh lime is ayneutralizer. It will pay every farmer to investigate hisy land as to acid. This he can do by planting on it clover of almost any variety, including sweet clover. If the plant grows well there is no great abundance of acid, provided nitrogen has rot been applied to fertilize the crop. If nitrogen has been applied, the clover will grow anyway, whether the soil be acid or not. Thus the test would be of no value.~—Farmers’ Review.

Effective Remedy for Roup.

I notice you have frequent inquiries for a roup remedy. The simplest and most effective remedy we ever tried is simply smoking the fowls with gas tar. This you can do at night when the chickens are all on the roosts. Take an old kettle with a few live coals in it, and smear tar on old rags dr sticks and lay on coals and you will soon have your hens sneezing. We have a spray filled wilth gas tar and crude carbolic which we use frequently around the henlouse, also around the hoghouse ana cow bara, and we find it quite satisfactory.—J. W. Kraft, in St. Louis Republic.

CINING-RCOM DRAFERIES.

Piain and Inexpensive Material That : Serves Well for the : s Purpose.

The neighboring merchant, says Ada Steriing, in Harper’s Bazar, may not keep the variety of demins so popularly adopted by -city housekeepeers, and so truly uszeful in the home of modest aspirations, but he is altogether likely to carry quantities eof red-brown or old-blue ‘“overhaulin’s,” and these, in a weave that is a kind ot compromise between jeans and duck, and not unlike the demin, are admirable substitutes for this favorite material. From the point of view of the artist, their tones are excellent. A whole sitting-room -may be done in either, pbeginning with the chair cushions and those of the improvised settle, the draperies, and even the floor covering. To give color to the diningroom of a farmhouse, generally whitewashed or Kkalsomined ‘and plainly painted, such materials will prove excellent. They improve in-softness as laundering becomes necessary, and will take needle ornamentation admirably. This, when done with rope-linen thread or mercerized cotton, is often highly effective. A room with blue duck cushions as a feature, with white walls, and soft, fresh muslin curtains, with a hooked or woven or merely plaited rag carpet, will be dainty, modern, and refined. Interiors so treated are no longer accounted plain and “countrified,” but are being devised again and again in the colenial cottage homes that distinguish the beautiful suburbs of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. A Many calico designs seen upon the counters of country merchants. are wholly unfit for wearing appasel, but they will often be of a pattern and coloring and body which will serve admirably for the making of trunk covers, closet curtains, for the dressing ,of beds, and for making box-plaited or gatheréed mante! lagmbrequins. They are fresh and sanitary, and, by means of neat workmanship in making them up, may become things of real beauty. A room so treated should not centain, of ‘course, more than one pattern of ‘goods, the curtains and rufiled trunk covers and valanced bed being done in the same. Where variety is desired, colored linings may be given the bedspread or the curtains, such as plain rose or blue or green; or, where even this is not available, a soft vellowed or unbleached muslin will serve with good effect.’. : HELPS FOR THE HEALTH.
