prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantiy failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Seienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu

constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. I comes
from the kidney secretions. Tlu-y will
warn you when the kidneys are siek.
Well kidneys excrete a dear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pal..- and foamy, or a thick, red, il!
1 smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
1 from the back. Rack pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap
I proach of dropsy, diabetes and
Fright's disease. Doan's Kidney Fills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per
manently.
Theodore Joseplison, ."1." Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins,
at times so severe that I was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and 1 procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex
[ cellent. I take a few <loses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

One day when Colonel Day cain?
back to lila top story room at Mrs.
Wllklns' rooming house lie found the
rooui next to his occupied. 11 bad been
vacant fur a year, and tbe colonel was
not only curious, but uettled. Tim gar
ret of the house was divided Into two
' rooms, and his was one, and he had
never even looked Into the other, but
as he had so long been the sole tenant
of the top story he felt that he ought
to have been consulted as to a new
comer. When lie heard a person mov
ing around in the other half of his do
! main he went dowu to Mrs. Wllklns.
j The colonel was a man of sixty. He
; had threadbare garments mid an empty
i purse. While lie occupied the cheapest
i rootn iti the house, it .was well known
. that he was often hard plit to pay his
rent, while Ids meals were always tak
en at the cheapo t restaurants, lie was
! a man of dignity and education, and
I that he had once occupied :i place til
| the world could uol be doubled.
"Mrs. Wllklns," began the colonel as
he entered the landlady's presence, "1
take It that you have rented the other
< room, and to a female at that?"
"Yes, colonel, but It Is to a young
woman who Is trying hard to make a
llvlug."
j "llut you should have consulted me.
1 1 have been with you for a year, and I
i should hate to remove to other quar
j tors, but please remember that 1 have
! certain rights and privileges, and they
are not to be abrogated without my
j consent. 1 will iliink It over and eon
: slder what steps to take."
1'Ive minutes later lie knocked on the
I d' >r of the other room, and It was
opened to him by a young woman of
about iwcntv-iive. He bowed stitlly,
and she drew aside as an invitation for
him to outer. As he looked around the
room lie saw a cheap old trunk on the
; lloor and a few poor articles of wear
ing apparel hanging up on the nails
; driven into the. wall. A second glauce
luii? the young woman's face told him
that she had consumption.
I "1 came here to ask you why you
reutcd this room," ho said as his fai-o
softened a Utile, "but I can see with
out asking. Miss, let us shake hands."
"For why':" she asked.
"Iti-caiisc 1 o i up.v the next room;
because we are Im>iIi victims of tickle
fortune; because wo should feel sorry
for each other; because 1 feel more
sorry for you than you oau for mo."
"1 hardly understand you. sir," she
said as she slowly put out her hand.
"You arc trying to make a living, I
j take It V"
| "Yes."
"Ami 1 am lighting poverty in hopes
to live a few .veal's longer. I hough
why ! should rare I" live another week
I *lo not know. The bond of poverty
Is between ns. l,et us be friends."
That night, instead of taking Ids
! meal at a cheap restaurant, lie brought
home a loaf of bread and some sau
] sage. Instead of going out to hunt lip
:i cheap place, she went out for a
bit of butter and a Jar of marmalade.
Thc.v had dinner together in Iter room.
II was the lirst of many meals.
The colonel and the young lady got
to be very pu d friends. They coun
seled wit is each other; they cheered and
encouraged each other; they deceived
each other, i>r tried to. as to what the
future had in store. The Woman suf
fered un>!?t. aud yet she was the brav
est hearted. From almost the lirst
day of their meeting they looked for
ward to certain things. Some day the
last of his friends would disappear and
his precarious income would cease al
together. lie would die before asking
a stranger for charity. Some day tliu
disease eating at iter lungs would de
1 maud the penalty, and there would l>o
no avoiding it. They talked the mat
ter over for an hour and then dropped
It and never referred to it again. It
was die black shadow In their path,
aud yet they fought it away. One
ulglit, a year later, the colonel came
home and found the young woman in
bed. The doctor had been there, and
the landlady had done all she could do.
It was the beginning of the end. The
Colonel sat down wit!; a softer light on
his face than his partner had seen
there f<>r weeks, and there was a touch
of the exultant in his voice as he said:
?*1 have come home pciiulless. The
last of my friends lias turned his back
on me. I am no beggar of alms."
"1 am so sorry." she sighed.
"Say rather that you are so glad.
You may linger for a month, but you
have no hope of getting well."
"None whatever."
"You remember our talk of long ago?
The time seemed far off then, but It is
here tonight. Why should you be a
month in dying? Why should I seek to
five for three or four years more?"
"Yes, we had a talk." she quietly
sn id.
"Have you any money?"
"A dime. Take It and buy you some
thing to eat."
"Partners to the last," he said as he
smiled aud rubbed his hands together.
"It makes it far easier where we aro
to go togetlier. I will be back soon."
"And it is going to happen?" she
asked as he returned with a bulky
package.
"It must. Why should it not?"
j "Yes? why not?"
Half an hour Inter the colonel sat
dowu beside the bed and kindly said:
"We have beeu partners? true part
ners. I will sit here and hold your
hand while we sleep."
They found them thus? the pollec?
the tearful landlady? the bustling coro
ner? the reporters.
"Tho.v simply fell asleep." said the
coroner. "The fumes of charcoal al
ways leave that peaceful, restful look
on the human face." M. (jUAJD.
