THE ONLY WAY Many Richmond Citizens Have Discovered It. Just what to do when the kidneys are affected, is a question that concerns both young and old. Weak kiJneys neglected in childhood lead to life-long suffering. People of advanced years, with less vitality, suffer doubly. In youth or age, languor, backache, urinary irregularity, dizziness and nervousness make life a burden. ' . ' . ; There is one remedy that acts directly on the kidneys and cures these troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe their workJ-wide fame to the fact that they cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Follow the example of this Richmond citizen and you will be convinced that this is so. Mrs. James Henry Brokamp, 62 Sherman street, Richmond, Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have been used in my family off and on for at least six years and they have brought such good results that we always keep a supply on hand. Whenever an attack of backache or any other symptom of kidney complaint appears, Doan's Kidney Pills are used and they never fail to bring relief. I have no hesitation in recommending this remedy."

CHAPTER TI. riBCT BLOOD. Wholesale The little envU of life. Learning how to read What there might be in $au$age Scheme A rite in life Big John't favoring eye Going thort of pork Uncertainty Five thouand dollar in the bank. mTOLD tbem all at the supper table that evening how I was going into wholesale with Henry I. Dround it Co. Slocum nod ded approvingly, bat before any one could say a word of congratulation Hillary Cox snapped this at me: "So you were looking out for yourself with that Carmicbael man! 1 thought tbe Enterprise wasn't big enough for your talents. A desk In the inside office, I s'pese?" "Not quite yet," I laughed. But 1 didn't say how little my job was to be. Miss Cox bad given me up. I don't believe she meant to be disagreeable, but somehow we had become strangers all at once. There were no more gossips on the front steps or Sunday parties. Ed went to church with her in my place. They were getting very close, those two, and it didn't take a shrewd eye to see what was going to happen some time soon. The others were more generous than the little cashier and Inclined to make too much of my good fortune. For the first time In my life I had tbe pleasure of knowing that folks were looking np at me and envying me, and I liked the feeling of consequence. I let them think I was to get big wages. "I suppose you'll be leaving this ranch before long?" Lou suggested. "Oh, I shouldn't wonder if I might move over to tbe Palmer House." A look of consternation spread over Ma Plerson's face at my joking words. She saw a quarter of her regular Income wiped off the slate. After the others bad gone I told her It was only a joke and that I should stay with her "until I got married." She cried a little and said things were bad with her and getting worse all tbe time. Lately Lou had taken to going with such kind of men that she had no peace at all. I tried to cheer her oft and It was a number of years after that before I could bring myself to leave her place, although the food got worse and worse and the house more messy and slack. Even when later 1 began to make a good deal of money I did not care to change my way of life. At Ma Pierson's were tbe only people I knew well in the city, and. though Grace and Lou and Ed and Dick weren't the most brilliant folks In tbe city, they were honest, warm hearted souls and good enough company. And the law clerk, Slocum, was much more. He meant a good deal to me. He taught me bow to read I mean how to take in Ideas as they were thought ont by those who put them in books. He lent me his own books, all marked and penciled with notes and references, which showed me how a well trained mind stows away its Information, how It compares and weighs and judges in short, how it thinks. We bad many a good talk, sitting on the dusty stone steps in our shirt sleeves late summer nights, when it was too bet to sleep. He had read a deal of history and politics and economics as well as his law. and when it came to argument he could shut me np with a mouthful of facts that showed me how small my lookout on tbe world was. I remember bow he put me through his old mill, making me chew hard at every point until I had mastered the theory. Then he fed me Darwin and Spencer and Stnbbs and Lecky and a lot more hard nuts. And I think that I owe no one in the world quite so much as I do that keen, silent Yankee who taught me bow to read books and know what is in them. Meantime I was not doing anything wonderful over at the yard. For several months the big manager scarce looked my way when he came across me. while I drove and msde deliveries to the city trade. Dround & Co.' customers were mostly on tbe west side, in tbe poorer wards along tbe river, where Jews and foreigners live. I used to wonder why the firm didn't try for a better trade, but later when I learned something about tbe private agreements among the packers I saw why each kept to his own field. I soon came to know our territory pretty well and got acquainted with the little markets. My experience at the Enterprise gave me an idea that I thonght to turn to some account with Dround's manager. One day as I was driving into the yards I met tbe Irishman, and he threw me a greeting: "Hello, kid! What's tbe good word?" And he climbed affably into the seat beside me to drive np to the office. Here was ray chance, and I took It. "Why don't Dround's handle sausage?" I said to the manager. ' "What do you know about sausage?" he asked. - . I told him what I had in mind. When I worked for the Enterprise, we need to hay trouble ia. wiling our,ssuage.

John Griffin of Spiceland. 1 Among the number who went from) this place Tuesday morning to Ntag-1 ara Falls were Mr. and Mrs. Chris Graver and two children, Mr. and Mrs. i Ora Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Harry j Bales of Mount Auburn. Mr. and Mr. Dan Chapman, Mrs. Clara Reigie, Reuben Bertsch and Edward Bertsch. i Miss Emma Gingrich of Connersville ' and a teacher in the Milton school visited friends in this place yester-;

day. Miss Annette M. Edmunds of Richmond spent yesterday with friends in Cambridge City. Lon Worl is tearing down his present residence, adjoining the Interurban station, preparatory to erecting a more modern residence on the present site. Womed wef nfr.j.bf it, fTilnktog it was made from any foul scraps in the store. So to make the customers take it I hit on the plan when we had fresh sausage meat of putting some of the sausages by In clean little pasteboard boxes, and the next time a particular customer came in I would call her attention to one of the boxes "which 1 had put aside for her specially." And she would take it every time. In this: way the Enterprise built np a considerable trade In sausages. The same condition existed In other markets, as I knew. Good customers were afraid to eat the ordinary sausage. So, I ; thought, why shouldn't the packing house put up a superior kind of sausage In nice little boxes with a fancy name? Tbe inarketmen could retail them handily. Carmichael seemed to be impressed with my idea. He asked questions and said he would think it over. That encouraged me to sprmg another scheme on bim. Dround's trade was in the Jewish quarters, but of course we didn't sell to the real Jews. "Why not get some old rabbi and make kosher meat the real article? Strauss and the other packers don't handle It. We might have the market to ourselves, and it is a big one too." "Kid, you're got a head on yon," big John said to me, with warmth. And 1 saw myself a member of the firm next week. It didn't work as easily as that, however. The next time I saw the manager I asked him about sausage and kosher meat, and be scowled. It seems he had presented my ideas to Mr. Henry I. Dround. and that gentleman had turned them down. He was a packer, so tbe head of the house said, and no cat's meat man to retail sausages in paper packages to the public. The same way with the kosher meat Idea. His business was the packing business, and the firm wasn't trying any ventures. It seemed to-me that Mr. Henry I. Dround lacked enterprise. I felt that his manager would have given my ideas a trial. It was not long after that, however, before Carmichael took me into the office and made me a kind of helper to him, sending me up and down the city to collect accounts, look after the little markets that traded with Dround's and try on the sly to steal some other fellow's business that Is. to break secretly one of those trade agreements which the packers were always making together and always breaking here and there and. when caught, promising each other to be good and never to do It again until tbe next opportunity offered, of course! This was more or less confidential and delicate business, and I wss not let into the Inside all at once. But I said nothing and kept my eyes open. I he gan to know some things about the business, and I could guess a few more. I learned pretty soon tbat Henry I. Dround & Co. was not one of the strongest concerns in tbe city; tbat it was being squeezed la tbe ribs by the great Stranss over the way; tbat if it had not been far the smart Irishman Strauss might take the bread oat of our mouths. Next to Slocum. I owe big John Carmicbael more than I could ever pay in money. He was an ignorant, hot tempered, foul mouthed Irishman, who had almost been born in tbe yards and had seen little else than tbe in side of a packing bonse all bis life. Ha couldn't write a grammatical lettet or speak an unblaspbemous sentence. But it didn't take me long to see that Dround &. Co." was Carmichael. the manager, and that I was in the best kind of luck to be there under bim and. so to speak, part way in his confidence. Well, as I said. I got an inkling from time to time how there was a private agreement between the large firms to carve up the market, retail as well as wholesale, and that when one of tbe firms felt that they could do it safely they would sneak around the agreement (wbicb of course was ille gal) and try to steal their neighbors' trade. Carmichael managed this business himself, and now and then, when he saw I knew bow to keep my mouth shut, be would trust some detail of it to me. But I was getting only 120 a week and no rosy prospects. My little schemes of making sausages on a large scale and kosher meat had been turned down. I stowed tbem away in my mind for future use. Meantime, after working at the yards for nearly two years. I bad managed to lay by about a thousand dollars, what with my savings when I was at the Enterprise. That thousand dollars waa in a savings bank downtown, and it made me rest leu to think tbat It was drawing only 314 per cent when chances to make big money were going by me all the time Just out of my grasp. I kept turning over and over In my mind how I might use that thousand and make It breed money. . There, were, lively, times then

on Tlf.- oara or trade. Sth!ug''mnch was done In the stock market in Chicago in those early days, but when a man wanted to take his flier he went into pork or grain. I nsed to bear more or less about what was being done on the board of trade from Dick Plerson. who had been promoted from scrubbing blackboards to a little clerkship in tbe same office which operated on tbe board. Dick had grown to be a sallow faced, black musts ched youth who had his sisters' knack of smart dressing and a good deal of mouth. He was always talking of the deals tbe big fellows were carrying and bow this man made 950.000 going short on lard and that man had his all taken away from him in the wheat pit He was full of tips that be picked up in his office always fingering tbe dice, so to speak, but without tbe casta to make a throw. Dick knew that I had some money In tbe bank, and he was ever at me to put it np on some deal or margin. Slocum used to chaff him about his tips, and I didn't take his talk very seriously. It was along In the early summer of my third year at Dround's when Dick began to talk about the big deal 8trauss was running In pork. Pork was going to 120 a barrel sure According to Dick, all any one had to do to make a fortune was to get on the train now. This time his talk made some Impression on me, for the boys were saying tbe same thing over In the office at the yards. I thought of asking Carmichael about it, but I suspected John might lie to me and laugh to see the "kid" robbed. 80 I said nothing, but every time I had occasion to go by the bank where 1 kept my money it seemed to call out to me to do something. And I was hot to do something. I had about made op my mind after turning it over for several weeks to make my venture In Stranss' corner. Pork was then selling about S17 a barrel, and there waa talk of its going as high as $25 by the October delivery. It happened that the very day I made up my mind to go down to the city and draw out my money I was In the manager's office talking to him about one of our small customers. Carmichael was opening his mail and listening to me. He would rip up an envelope and throw it down on his desk, then let tbe letter slide ont of bis fat hand and pick up another. I saw bim grab one letter in a hurry. On tbe envelope, which was plain, was printed "John Carmichael" In large letters. As he tore open tbe lnclosure I could see that It was a broker's form, and printed in fat capitals beneath the firm name was the word "sold and after it a written Item that looked like pork. As Carmicbael shoved this slip of paper back in tbe envelope I took another look and was sure It was pork. I went out of the office thinking to myself: "Carmichael isn't buying any pork this trip; he's selling. What does that mean?" (Continued.) National Pride.
