WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their l/nonaiing Work Koop? U?
Strung unit Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
Thev work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
-orne part of this impure ma'.ter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms ? pain in the
Oacrt, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disor
ders of the eyesieht and h?aring, dizzi
ness. irregufar heart, debility, drowsi
ness, dropsy, de|K)sits in the urine, etc.
But if yoti keep the filters right you
will h ive no trouble with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, titij Yesler way, Se
attle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure at the present time to confirm
tlio staulment I gave some years ago in
favor of Ooan's Kidney Pills, the relief
I obtained from their use having
proved permanent. I used remedy
after remedy, was unable to obtain re
rief. 1 had the most severe pains
across the small of my btck, and was
also annoyed by the irregular actioa of
ihe kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
I'll Is helped me at once, and a con

an ardent advocate of Doan's Kidney

j Adopting an Orphan.!
[Copyright, 1SUS. by T. C. McCtur*.]
Parson Wllllums, feeling sorry for
Detcoa Flint's widowhood, suggested
that h? take u girl from the orphan
asylum to keep house aud for com
pany.
The deacon started for the city uext
inorulug and returned In the evening
with the orphan. Her name was
Ruth. The dettcou liked lier at llrst
glance. and he kept liking her better
all day. Before going to bed that night
she was shown over the house and
through the pantry and told what to
get for breakfast and at what hour to
have It ready, aud the deacon's heart
swelled up as she called to hlin:
"Good night, my own dear old papa.
Your little daughter Is awfully glad
she has come to live with you."
Breakfast was to be ready at 0.
The deacon overslept, and It was 7
before he got out of bed and went
downstairs. There was no one about.
Me knocked at the daughter's door,
but got no answer. He went outside
to look for her, aud, tludlug nothing, he
returned and opened the door of her
room. She was still asleep, but when
he called to her she woke up and de
manded to know whfct was wanted.
"You should have had breakfast all
ready an hour ago."
"Not ou your life!" she exclaimed.
"When you Ret It ready come and call
me."
"But? but, what do you mean?" de
manded the astonished man.
"You skiddoo and don't ask questlous.
Say, |>op. you might as well under
stand right now that I'm a lady and
must be treated as such. After this 1
shall take my breakfast In bed."
The deacon got breakfast, aud Miss
Ruth came down. She found faull
with everything and when reproved
gave him such back talk that he
reached over and boxed her ears. The
uext minute everything un the table
she could reach was tlylng at his head.
After being hit by three plates, the
cruet, the coffeepot and the sugai
bowl he flew the coop and made his
way to the parson's house.
"Ab," said the good man, "1 was
wondering If you came home last night
and bronght the orphan with you." '
"I didl" exclaimed the deacon with a
great deal of energy.
"And? and"?
"And you come over anil nee nor. I
She was as humble as a kitten last
night, but this morning she seems to
be a limb of Satan."
When the house was reached the]
adopted orphan was found in the yard|
throwing pieces of the broken crock- 1
ery at the hens, and she had already
lamed an old rooster and knocked a
speckled hen gaily west.
"Morning, parson." she called out.
"I suppose pop's been telling what a
bad kid I am? If he wasn't a dub he'd
have stayed and fought It out with
me."
"My dear child. 1 am sorry to hear
such reports of you." solemnly replied
the parson. "You seemed to me the
other day to be such an innocent, hum
ble young girl that"?
"That was in the game, parsou. I
was after a papa and a home. Ob, I
can be an angel when I want to. See
me knock that black hen's head off."
The parson and the deacon walked
a^Ide to consult, and the latter asked
lu anxious tones:
"Well, what shall 1 do about it?"
"Sit down with her and talk of
heaven and angels and appeal to her
I letter nature. I think you will have
her crying in tlve minutes, it seems
that in some way I must have got a
wrong Impression of the child."
The good tuan returned home, and
the deacon sat down to try moral sua
sion. The village graveyard was in
s''.:ht. and he looked over at the stones
and asked the girl If she knew where
good folks went to when they died.
?Oh. come off!" she answered. "Can't
we go to a circus or something today?
I knew you was an old poke, but I've
| come to stir you up. Come in and
shave. 1 don't like your whiskers."
The deacou rose up aud took her by
the ear aud led her Into the house and
locked her up In a closet and said
something about bread and water until
she could behave herself. He then
went to the tield to put In a short fore
noon. At 12 o'clock, when he came
back, the closet door lay on the floor,
the table and chairs were on their
backs, and the girl was getting ready
to smash windows. The deacon went
out and cut and irlmmed a peach tree
limb and wore It out around her shoul
ders a:d locked her up In another
closet. At :i o'clock In the afternoon
Ills barn was found to be on fir# and
couldn't be saved He weflt to the
hou.ve l? find the prisoner g?o?. every
thing a wreck and the following note
pinned to n door:
Deur Pupa? You aro no gentleman, anil
I don't llko your style. A? you o?n't
hu*tl>\ I will.
And on top of that the good parson
came around to condolo with him and
to say:
"I guess we rande a mistake, deacon.
Instead of trying adoption plan
agalu why not take a wife*"
The parson had a spinster elster for
ty-two years old. and public gow.'j had
said that she would marry the deacon
if asked. The brother had heard noth
ing of this, nnd the sister was not in
his mind In the least when he put the
question, but the deacon turned from
surveying the wreck and answered:
"N'ot by a durned sight, and you get
right out of here or I'll throw you over
the fence!"
And that was ten years ago, and they
have not spoken to each other since.

t THE YOUNG |
| ' TELEGRAPHER. +
Marlon of the Revolutionary war
and Morgan of the clvl! war occupy
similar positions In hHtory Grtierjd
John Morgan started on his military
career as commander of u company of
young Confederates and operated ul
ways In t lie middle southwest. Ills
career was full of during, lie would
approach a I'ulou picket, assuming to
be u Federal officer, reprimand him
for some negligence, gel possession of
his uiusket and thus capture single
handed a whole picket post.
It was during the campaign of Gen
eral Ilalleck against Quaker guns at
Corinth that Morgan was operating In
Halleck's rear in western Tennessee,
harassing lines of communication.
This Is a very Important service. An
army must lie fed. That means that
the avenues of t ouimuuicatlon must lie
kept open and the supplies passing
over them to the men at the front
must he protected. In this work an
Important feature lo the protecting
force was the telegraph.
The telegraph office at the town of
P., a station on the railroad supply
ing the army before Corinth, was iu
charge of Tom Venable, who lived
with his family oil the upper lioor of
the two ftory station building, ihe tele
graph and ticket office being below.
One night when Venable was in his
| office sending ihe dispatches necessary
i to get a heavy Iran load of supplies
south he heard a tap oil the window
pane. Looking up. there stood a man
lu Confederate uniform covering him
with the muzzle of his pistol. The offi
cer had tup[>ed with I iie pislol to at
tract Veuable's attention and ordered
him to throw up the sash. Venable
did so, and the officer climbed in at the
window.
"I'm John Morgan." he said.
Morgan usually declared himself In
this fashion. It was the best possible
way of striking an enemy with terror.
Meanwhile the station was surround
ed by Confederate cuvalryinen. Mor
gan put his own telegrapher at the key,
who began to telegraph the train Ven
able had been iu communication with.
The conductor had been warned that
the Confederates were making a raid
in the region and was waiting to be
assured that it was safe to advance.
Morgan's telegrapher sent a dispatch
that Morgan had gone off iu an easter
ly direction and an order signed by a
I'ulon commander for the train tc
Original.}
I'Oiue on.
Now, there Is a hero to this story,
though ho Is asleep In his bed above
the telegraph office. Hut a clatter he
I noath awakes hliu. Being not over
[ thirteen years old. he doesn't awake in
a hurry, but his mother helps hlui by
telling hltn that the station Is In pos
session of the dreaded Morgan. Jlui
iii le Venable was of a scientific mind
?uul had already a miniature telegraph
outtit In his own little room. His cir
cuit was but teu feet and was confined
to the rooui, but It was big enough to
play with, and he knew the dot and
line aiphnl>et. His father was a prls
oner downstairs, but he heard his
mother say that doubtless Morgan had
captured the telegraph in order to de
coy a train into a trap and destroy the
supplies lu tended for the Union army.
Jitnmle got an Idea. The telegraph
wires passed within ten feet of his
I window before entering the otllee l?e
[ low. He told his mother what he in
tended to do, and she helped hltn." lie
took his play wire, tied a hairbrush to
one end of It. threw It over the line
wire and completed Ills circuit by
means of a lead pipe extending to the
ground, it didn't make a very good
connection, but It sufficed. ile didn't
know the calls of stations nor what
station to call. He waited till there
was comparative quiet below, then
clicked: "P. station. Morgan here."
This he repeated several times. It was
heard at'several stations up the road,
and the conductor of the tralu was ad
vised of It at once.
One man heard It for whom It was
not Intended. That was the Confederate
operating in the office below Jimmle's
room. He was sitting near the kej
when he heard the words clicked and
knew that some one had outwitted
him. He notified his commanJer. and a
search was made, and Jlmtnle's hair
brush was seeu dangling from the
main wire. It toid them the story,
ti ling npsiai;.*. they dlr ovcrcd J! i
mie's device. The g< eivl was t':o
titvr to enter the r .v i .Ihmnie wis
still at Ills key.
"Have you been aeudii.g Informa
tion t?> the ci-emy?" he a '..cd.
"Yes, I have," snld .Tl-'tnle proudly.
He did not knew Hi,- ? ter:L "f the
service lie had re;.i.?. i .??!. l?ot vra sure
he had done something va! able !<>' his
cause.
"L>o you know what we do with lit
tle boys who are spies?" asked Mor
gan.
"No."
"Well, it's something very terrible.
But In this case the boy is a very
bright, brave little chap, and we will
give him something for candy."
He drew a roll of Confederate bills
from his pocket, picked out a ten dol
lar note and handed it to Jlminie.
"H-tn!" said Jlmmle, looking at it con
temptuously. " "fatn't worth a United
States fifty cent postal shinplaster."
' This postal currency was used during
the war lu lieu of silver.
Morgan laughed, took out a roll of
greenbacks, doubtless captured money,
and, haudlug a five dollar note to the
boy. went downstairs and rode away,
followed by his troopers.
For saving the tralu Jlminie after
ward received a much larger reward
from the United States government.
