IT IS SERIOUS Some Richmond People Fail to Realize the Seriousness. .... The constant aching of a bad back, The weariness, the tired feeling, The pains and aches of kidney ills Are serious if neglected. Dangerous urinary troubles follow. A Richmond citizen shows you how to avoid them. L. F. Cooper, of 714 North Thirteenth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "For two years there existed sharp pains in my loins and sides and a continual feeling of soreness. It was hard for me to stoop, life or bend over and when I caught cold it always settled in the kidneys. The secretions were irregular and much too frequent. The medicines I used brought me no benefit until I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. I used two boxes of this remedy last winter and since then have been free from all trouble with the kidneys. I am, therefore, glad to recommend the use of Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburu Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. First Silver Wedding. The first silver wedding dates back to the time of Hugucs Capet. The servants, says Home Chat, belonging to him had grown gray in his service, a man and a woman, and what could he do as a reward? Calling the woman, he said: "Your service is great, greater than the man's, whose service is great enough, for the woman always finds work harder than a man, and therefore I will give you a reward. At your age I know of none better than a dowry and a husband. The dowry is here this farm from this time forth belongs to you. If this man, who has worked with you five and twenty years, is willing to marry you, then the husband is ready." "Your majesty," said the old peasant, "how is it possible that we should marry, having already 6ilver hairs?" "Then it shall be a silver wedding." And the king gave the couple silver enough to keep them in plenty. This soon became known all over France and raised such enthusiasm that it became a fashion after twenty-five years of married life to celebrate a silver wedding. The Treasury Vaults. The first question the average visitor to the United States treasury building asks is, "Couldn't burglars tunnel under the vaults and rob the government?" Well, that Is not likely. An armed guard sits beside the vaults. Every twenty minutes he Is required to ring an alarm just to show that he Is awake. An armed patrol makes the rounds hourly.. Secret service men in plain clothes, with concealed weapons, keep watch and ward outside and inside the building. As to tunneling, the officials hold that if a man by any possibility should manage to bore underneath a vault the heavy metal would crush him to a jelly, thus administering a lasting gold cure. Even if the tunnel burglar should get away with his life he could not get away with much gold. Ten thousand dollars in double eagles weighs thirty-eight pounds. Forty million dollars in gold certificates of the $10,000 denomination weighs eleven and a half pounds. Even burglars prefer the gold certificates to the real thing. Buffalo Times. Journalistio Revenges. The curious boycott of the press in the Berlin parliament had a precedent Jn the mother of parliaments, the British house of commons. A writer in Harper's Weekly recalls that the person involved was no less a celebrity than the late Daniel O'Connell. He condemned the inaccuracy of the parliamentary reports, but he forgot to make allowance for acoustic difficulties and the buzz of intervening conversation. He charged the reporters with the malicious suppression of his speeches, and the gallery then refused to report him at all. Dan stormed and thundered in vain, even moving that the ringleaders be brought to the bar of the house. Finally he apologized, and all was well. Lord Lyttleton In 1S71 fell foul of the press in the same way, and the late Lord Monteagle. had his name omitted from London newspaper reports for two years because he said something the reporters did not like. Church Did you ever work for a railroad company? Gotham Well, yes; I've tried to open the car windows. Yonkers Statesman. Is Your Kitchen Clean? Greasy floors and oilcloths can only be cleaned properly by the use of pure soap. The cheap yellow kind which is filled with rosin, only makes a scum over the dirt. Easy Task is different, because it is made from borax, cocoa nut oil and tallow. It dissolves the dirt and leaves everything sweet, and it costs 5c.

HOLD CONFERENCE

President Roosevelt and Secretaries Root and Bacon Meet Sunday. VENEZUELA THE TOPIC. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 13. President Roosevelt and Secretary Root went in swimming Sunday after a long conference regarding Venezuela's affairs, in which Assistant Secretary of State Bacon participated. Early in the day Secretary Root telephoned from Muldoon's that he would like to consult the president on some department matters and that Assistant Secretary Bacon would be with him. The president replied that he would be glad to receive them both at luncheon. The president attended church, and as he arrived, he was greeted by a company of choir boys from Grace Episcopal church, New York, who are camping up on Center Island. When the president returned to Sagamore Hill he found Secretary Root awaiting him. The secretary had come across the Sound in a launch. Assistant Secretary Bacon was driven over here in an automobile from his home, in Westbury, L. I. After luncheon the three drew their chairB close together upon the president's veranda and talked earnestly until 5 o'clock. Then Mr. Bacon started for home and the president and Secretary Root went in bathing together. They splashed about at a great rate. The president is by far the better swimmer, but he complimented Mr. Root upon his increasing strength, following his work at Muldoon's. Thus far this summer the president has had great freedom from the usual summer visits of cranks. A few days ago a German managed to enter the president's grounds and bowed to the president before his presence was discovered by the secret service men. Today there was a man in town who said he is a New York furrier, with offices in Prince street. He said he had been "commanded" to see the president. At another time he said he wished to arrange for the sale of whatever furs the president secured in Africa. He was induced to leave town without trouble. Old Time Drunkenness. In reviewing "The Early Married Life of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley," the London Spectator comments on the light in which drunkenness was regarded at the beginning of the nineteenth century. There was a christening of twins and rejoicing among the neighbors, tenants and laborers. "All the guests," says Maria, "were as drunk as I ever had the pleasure of seeing any one." Among the laborers, however, "that extent of intoxication was not reached which causes men to be swine." Lady Sheffield, who received this account of the festivities, replies: "I would have given a great deal to be present. There is nothing I love so much as such sort of festivities, where one has the satisfaction of knowing that one makes one's friends happy as well as drunk." In London, she declares, "when you give a ball you affront many people, please a few, make many drunk and yourself miserable." Clay and the 8alary Grab. "Quinn," said an old member one day, "I heard you worrying about the mileage. Did you ever hear the story of Clay and the salary grab?" "No," I replied. "When Clay was speaker," he continued, "along about 1816, the crowd raised their salaries to $1,500 a year. There was a great bowl all over the country, and when Clay reached home In Kentucky be found eld one armed John Pope, a Federalist, out after bis scalp to beat the band and all the Clay adherents ominously silent. Worried and anxious, Clay sought out his old barber, who had always been enthusiastic in his advocacy and who happened to be an Irishman. 1 trust 1 may count on your hearty support, as usual?" Clay asked. 'Faith. Mr. Clay,' said the Irish barber. 'I think I shall vote at this time for the man who can get but one hand Into the treasury.' " Success Magazine. Needed a Big Dose. The president of the Waiters' club ol New York In a recent argument on tipping said to his opponent sharply: "Your reply is altogether beside the point and irrelevant. It reminds me of a woman's reply In a German court This woman was accused of poisoning her husband. The prosecuting attor ney said to her: " You have beard the evidence. The body contained enough arsenic to kill ten persons. What have you to say?' "My husband.' the woman answered, was a big eater.' " Trouble Ahead. Parke Old man, we've known each other for years, and it does seem strange that our wives have nevei met Don't you think it would be a good idea to bring this about? Lane Seems; to me thafs rather a hard way of doing it "Doing what?" "Getting rid of each other." Life. Throw a Brick on It First. Arctic Explorer's Wife Goodby, John. dear.

ELKS ABE II DALLAS Thousands of Members of the Order There to Attend Convention. PROGRAM BEGINS TODAY. Dallas, Tex., July 13. Ten thousand Elks of America are now in Dallas to attend the convention which opened today. It is expected 25.000 will be here by tonight. All of the grand lodge officers are in the city. Dallas is ablaze with incandescent lights and lavish decorations. The program began today with a monster dinner of 1,500 plates, served to the grand lodge members and ladies. The convention ceremonies proper will open tonight. The program includes addresses by John K. Tener, grand exalted ruler of Elks; Governor Campbell, of Texas; Senator Charles A. Culberson, of Texas, and John H. Kirby, of Houston, president of the Texas Association of Elks, will also speak. From appearances there will be no contests for the more important grand lodge offices. Only a few minor contests are slated. The contest for the 1909 convention will be lively, Los Angeles and Detroit being the cities in the race. Los Angeles has a delegation of 100 strong, while the Michigan city has about 50. The rivalry is keen. The odds seem to be in favor of Los Angeles. Confederate Capitol of Missouri. The old Masonic hall at Neosho, in Newton county, has been fitly termed "the Confederate capitol of Missouri.' It was there that Governor C. F. Jack son convened a small fraction of the Twenty-first general assembly, ten members of the senate and thirty-nine of the house, in special session Oct 21. 1S61, and passed an act of secession and annexation, detaching Missouri from the United States and making it a state of the Confederacy. The only dissenting votes to this act were Senator Charles II. Hardin, representing the counties of Boone and Callaway, and Representative Isaac N. Shambaugh of Dekalb county. The proceedings of the senate, of which John T. Crisp was secretary, were captured iu Alabama by the Forty -niath Missouri volunteers and sent to the state capitol at Jefferson City. They were printed In 1S65 by the state under the title "Journal of the Senate, extra session of the Rebel legislature called together by a proclamation of C F. Jackson, begun and held at Neosho. Newton county. Mo, on the 21st of October, 1S61." The Journal of the house never I fcM feasa found. Kansas City Star. ,

i HE SOUGHT DEATH. The Unfortunate Napoleon III. at the Battle of Sedan. Sarah Bernhardt mentions in her memoirs that Napoleon III. had two horses shot under him at Sedan. Some having thrown doubt on her statement and denied that the emperor was ever In personal danger at the time, Baron Verly, son of the late colonel of the Cent Gardes, gives what he affirms to be the authentic account of the unhappy sovereign's persistent attempts to court death when he saw that defeat was unavoidable. On Sept. 1, 1870, at 6 o'clock in the morning. Marshal MacMahon, returning wounded to Sedan, met the emperor riding out to Ba tellies. Napoleon III. realized that the situation was desperate. He rode slowly out, depressed and thoughtful, under a hail of shot During an hour be inspected the positions. Bullets rained on his escort. Captain d'Hendecourt was killed a few feet away from the emperor. The latter, deliberately seeking death, alighted, ordered his escort to remain b'ebind an embankment and walked up to a cemetery on a height, where he stayed for another hour, exposed to fire. lie mounted again and rode to another part of the field. General de Courson and Captain de Trecesson were dangerously wounded by his side, but not a bullet bit him. The emperor at last seemed to despair of meeting his death as he sought it and rode back to Sedan at noon. In the town itself shells fell thick, and while the emperor was riding with his escort up the Grand Rue one burst Just in front of him, wounded one of the Cent Gardes and killed the horses of two alds-de-camp. Napoleon IIL looked on stolidly, understanding, perhaps, that it was not bis fate to die in action. The story that he had two horses killed under him is, therefore, not correct. But there Is no doubt that the unfortunate emperor, beaten and ill, a pathetic and tragic figure, did deliberately seek death on the field to escape the disgrace of Sedan which he foresaw. Paris Letter. A SERPENT STORY. Terrifying Experience With a Deadly Lancehead. The Faris Eclair tells a blood curdling serpent story, the scene of which was the Island of Martinique and the dramatis personae Sergeant Legrand and Private Durand and the snake a deadly lancehead. The eoldler had been punished with a night in the cells for some trivial offense, but as the night was very hot the sergeant had left the door open. In the morning at 5 o'clock Legrand west to wake his prisoner and. to his horror, beheld a lancehead snake coiled np and fast asleep on the man's breast. The sergeant did not lose his presence of mind. lie stole noiselessly away, ran to the guard room and. followed by all the men on duty, returned to the cell with a bowl of milk and a tin wbis tf;v Plains: the bol of milk at Uht?

entrance TJ vrro'Cen. me-sergeant began to play the -Blue DanuUv" It is needless to remark that the weakness of the lancehead is milk and music. The serpent, which was a six foot specimen, awoke, glided from the soldier's body toward the bowl, but it bad no Booner burled its head in its beloved drink than ten cudgels descended on it with terrific force, killing it outright The soldier Durand, who was in a swoon, was taken to hospital, where he lay for many days on the verge of madness. He finally recovered and related his horrible experience how he had awoke in the middle of the night as the serpent was colling Itself on bfs bare breast and how he had lain theie in an agony for hours, not daring to move a muscle. Durand was sent back to France as soon as he had sufficiently recovered. The only trace of his terrible experience, adds the Eclair, is that bis hair is now snow white. Love's Young Dream. Another case of the bad boy rudely interrupting love's young dream. A Malate girl and her Romeo sat in close proximity on the couch in the drawing room lost to the world. They were brought back from Eden by her little brother, who. like many of his kind, makes it a practice to butt in at the wrong time. He walked into the room, planted himself in front of the young man and asked: "Was you ever tied to a fish line?" "I certainly was not." was the reply. "Well," responded the boy. "I beard pa tell ma last night that you'd make a good sinker." Manila Gossip. As to Quotations. How many persons can unhesitating ly name the source of the familiar quotations? Many a man goes through life without reading a single play of Shakespeare, but probably no English speaking man goes through life without quoting him. If he sneers at "a woman's reason," he quotes Shakespeare; if he refers to "a trick worth two of that," he quotes Shakespeare again. Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer" is not a popular work, but one line of it "Ask rae no questions, and I will tell you no lies" is known and used by everybody. Made Him Songster.
