Thair Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood iD tbe body pusses
through the kidneys occe every three
minutes. The kidneys tiller the b'ood.
Thev work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure m itter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure ma'terisleft
iu the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms ? pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot. dry
skin. rheumatism, gout, gravel, disor

VV, A. Hawkins, titiJ Yesler way, Se

pleasure at the present time to confirm
cho sta'dment ( gave some years ago In
favor of Doan'a Kiduey Pills, the relief
I obtained from their use having
proved permanent. I used remedy
after remedy, was unable to obtain re
| rief. I had the most severe pains
across the small of my back, and was
also annoyed by tbe irregular action of
ihe kidney secretions. Do.n's Kidney
Pills helped me at once, and a con
tinued use entirely relieved me. I am
an ardent advocate of Doan's Kidcey
Pills, and have recommended them on
many occasions, as I know they do just
what is claimed for them."

to Throw
Off an Influence.
[Copyright, 1S08, by Am?r!can Pro* Asso
ciation.]
Ellsba Hereford at twenty married
a girl of eighteen. Ellsba was rather
a bright fellow, but without good judg
ment. His wife was exactly the oppo
site. She was not bright, but possess
ed au enormous amount of "horse
sense." For twenty years she kept her
husband on tho track and when he
showed signs of "breaking" would
speak to blui In no uncertain tone,
pull strong on the curb and now and
then give blui a sharp cut with the
whip. Tho consequence was that Here
ford, being smart, by the time he was
forty had secured a competency.
Now, the thing without which suc
cess Is not to be attained Is often un
recognizable, especially by the achiev
er. Hereford attributed It In his case
to bis talents, arguing that If he were
not pulled back by his wife be would
be a millionaire. His most Intimate
friends knew that bis wire had put
those talents to their proper use and
prevented bis wasting them. Perhaps
if any of them had told him tbls It
might have neutralized this story. Per
haps he would have received tho In
formation as false. The latter suppo
sition Is the moro probable.
One day Hereford disappeared. It |
was found that be bad taken $50,000
ajpl left $100,000 for bis wife, with no
explanation whatever. This Is th?
most practical thing he had ever done
without her assistance. Almost any
one would pronounce tho money pref
erable to the explanation. But the act I
was Just like Hereford. He was a.
mixture of the sublime and the rldlcu
lous. . , I
He hadn't been gone long before Ul?
wife received a letter from an Ameri
can gentleman la Constantinople
named Tarbox stating that Hereford
had died tbero. Ho had left Instruc
tions with l'srboi to send what money
be bad left -some $10,000-aud UU In
cinerated remains to bis wlfe'
mends said tbat so long as he
tlie money be needn't bave troubled ,
blmself about (be usbes. Mrs. Here
ford deposited the former In bank ana
wept over the latter. When It came
to sentiment she had her weaknesses,
the most pronounced of which was , a.
sincere affection for Ellshn Hereford.
She was too sensible to keep her hus
band's dust in her own house, so she
spent $100 on a marblo tomb, placed
It in a cemetery and locked the dust
in it Not that the $100 represented
her love for her dead husband. Tho
tomb was plenty large to contain the
ashes, and Mrs. Hereford's sentiment
never ran away with her Instinct of
economy. ^ ...
Before proceeding any further wltl
this story I wish to say that thore is a
feature In It that won't be believed.
You can Invent a lot of imaginary nou
st-use, and It will be gulped dowu, but
give people a real coincidence such aa
Happens every day wud they will laugh
ht vou 1 am sure, however, that any
one who knows "Elista Hereford on
bearing what 1 refer to would say,
"That's Ju3t like blm for all the world.
As 1 have said, Mrs. Hereford was
prone to Indulge a sentimental sorrow
80 long as It was not expensive. She
went once a week to the cemetery, toot
out the urn. dustodlt. probably because
she had been used to periodically dust
the marble clock on her mantel at
home, wept over It and put It back.
One day Ju?t aftitr having done the
dustlug she turned the key and wltn
bowed head was mutely offering a
prayer for the repose of her husband t?
soul when she was aroused by a or?^
lt seemed she had heard some wood
en structure knocked Into kindling
wood. Starting up. there In a lot not
a hundred yards from her she saw a
prointscuouB mass of slender timbers
Jumbled with some tight woven tex
ture. From beneath It a man strug- ,
gled to free himself and after doing so
stood upon his feet The widow went
toward the fragments, and when the
man's head appeared above the wreck
age she caught at an iron rail Inclos
ing a burial lot
She saw him whose -ashes she had
been weeping over.
"Well," he exclalmed-.petulantly, sur
veylug the wreck, "lt's-all up. and I'm j
glad of It."
Mrs. Hereford, who saw a medium
for wasted money, breathed hard.
"Ellsha," she said sternly, "what
foolishness have yon been guilty of
this time?"
"1 own up, my dear. It was this
way: I beard of all these fellows try
lug aeroplanes, and I had a plan that
I wanted to try myself. 1 knew you
would never consent to spending the
money to bnlld it, so I occluded L V>
take the ,1o?> into n?.v own bauds, nrsi
elimluatlug you from the experiment.
Jim Twlnkler was going abroad, and l
charged hltu to take care of you from
there under an assumed name. telling
him what to say and what to send.,
This left me $40,000 "with which to -
"Ellsha!"
"My dear."
"Have you sunk $40,000 lu that-that
heap?" . I
"I've sunk $20j000."
"Where Is the rest?"
"In bank."
"You come right home with me ana
draw me a check for It I was a fool
not to foresee something like tuis.
Never again will you have a dollar
under your own control. I've got the
money you left, and when I set that
you haven't thrown away well fo
safe." . , ...
Mrs. Hereford sold the tomb and the
urn at a good profit She secur*f *
check for what mouey her husband
had not suuk on the aeroplane, and
from that time to the present she has

[CopjrUtt, 1908, by American P w?# A*o
elation.]
It happened la Arizona when that
region was a catch-all for bad peoplo
from the Missouri river to the Pacific
ocean. A man entered the Alhambra
hotel, cant "furtive glances about hltu
aud registered his name, Silas Duugle
ford, Deadwood, Colo. Ho was shown
to room No. 30. on the floor above
there were but two stories in ail
where he deposited his baggage, con
tained In a red bandanna, aud went
down to supper.
While eating a hand was clapped on
his shoulder. Putting his haud to his
hip, he turned, white as a sheet, and
looked up Into a man's face.
"Pardlng, stranger. I thort you was
Mark Brown."
Mr. Duugleford turned to his supper,
concealing as best ho could a sigh of
relief. When through ho went to the
bar lit a cigar aud smoked with an
assumed careless air. Nevertheless
from under the rim of his sombrero
his restless eye kept a sharp watch on
every one present. His cigar finished,
be yawned, took a candle from the bar
and went up to his room, moving so
long as be remained In sight of othors
with a deliberate step, which he in
creased when in the hall above. En
tering his room, he turned the key In
the look, put his pistols under his pil
low, undressed and went to bed.
There was a confusion of noises in
the room below. Men wero evidently
gathered there, though what thoy wero
doing or sayln* he could not tell. He
got out of bed and put his ear to the
floor to listen. There wero periods
when they talkod and periods when
they were silent. Tired of attempting
to discover what they were doing, ho
reiuruod to his bed and fell asleep.
He was awakened by the knock of a
heavy knuckle on the door. Starting
up. he seiJted his pistole and Jumped out
of bed.
-Whafs wanted?" he said, assuming
a gruff tone.
"You; open the door!"
"Not on your life!"
"Then we'll do it ourselves."
There was the sound of a boot heel
against the door, which flew open, and
the kerosene lamp In the hall revealed
within a stalwart figure standing with
a revolver in each hand. Several men
In various costumes from that of Mex
ican to cowboy faced him.
"You Dungleford?" asked one of
them.
"I am. Let the man who denies it
stand back aud get ready to swallow
a lead pill."
"Of Deadwood?"
"Yes, of Deadwood. You saw It on
the register, didn't you? What d'y'
want to come up here In the middle of
the night to r to wake a man up to
learn what y' already know?"
"You're the man we want, whatever
your name Is."
"Stand back! The first man that
steps inside the door l# a dead un!"
He was pale as a ghoBt and both
hands trembled. They were eight to
one and all armed. But he was like a
stag at bay. They recoiled.
"You've come to hang me. I know
It. But before you git the rope around
my neck some of you'll bite the dust
Stand back, I say!"
"Stranger, what the"? ono of tho
party was beginning, but the hunted
man broke In.
"Ford tried to kill me because I held
a full house against his three aces, and
I scooped $000 on the hand. I shot
first; that's all. The Texas man got
In my way when I was drunk. As for
tho woman, I found her stenlln* on mo
with a carvln' knife when Bhe thought
I was asleep. I killed all three of 'em
fair. I lit out 'cause their friends
was gettln' together to do me. But
I'm broke, and Tim Bunker owes me
a thousand I wanted to git, so I came
back under another name to git It." ^
"Oh, you're Colorado Pete, air y '?"
"Certain. Ef y' thort I was Dungle

middle o' the night to git me out for/
"How long ago did y' kUl them
duffers?"
"A year last month."
Tho gang looked from one to another
Inquiringly. No one seemed even to
have heard of the murders. Finally
one of them turned to the man who
had confessed that he was Colorado
Pete.
??Ileckon y'er looklu' fer painters,
stranger, where there's only coyotes.
None of us was here when y' done the
klllln'. D'y' s'pose this town's made
up of people as has got homes to set
around In and never move ou?"
"And y' hain't come to hang me'.''
"That wasn't the Intention fust off.
"Then what're y' doln' here?
"We was bavin' a small game be
low," said a red bearded inan. "Jim

three hundred dollar pot. Jim held a

what they don't know about poker or

here to ask y' to decide the p'lnt.'
"Oh" said Colorado Pete, lowering
hla pistol, "Is that all? I thort y'd come
to hang me. Waal, three of a kind
