WHAT'S THE USE?
Did it ever occur to you that this
is a funny world, and that man's life
is full of crosses? He comes into
this world without his consent: he
goes out of it against his will, and
the trip between Is usually pretty
lotten sailing. The rule of contraries
snd disagreements is one of the big
features of the trip.
When he is little the big girls kiss
him, and when he is big the little
girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is a bad manager,
and if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs credit hfc can't get it.
but it he is prosperous and doesn't
need It, every one wants to do him
a favor.
If he is in politics it is for graft,
and if he is out of politics he is of no
use to the country.
If he doesn't give to charity he is
a stingy cuss, and if he does it is
simply for show.
If he is actively religious he is a
hypocrite, and if he takes no Interest
in religion he is a hardened sinner,
an A. P. A.
If he is given to affection he is
soft, and if he does not he is cold
blooded.
If he drinks he is going to the bad.
and if he doesn't he is a big stiff.
If he talks little it is because of
lack of ideas, and if he talks much
he Is an agitator and a dissentor.
If he dies young there was a great
future for him. and if he lived to an
old age he missd his calling.
If you save money you're a grouch
and a tight-fist, but it you spend it
you're a loafer and a bum.
If you get it you're a grafter, and
if you don't get it you have no bus
iness head. So. what's the use, any
way?- Ex.
VACATION TIME.
To country lanes the toiler boats
his way from dismal city streets. To
country lanes, where bud and sprout
the kind of flowers you read about,
aud fat red birds sit round and sing,
and bumble bees and hornets sting.
The modest cottage on the farm for
city guys exerts a charm: through all
our grinding days of toil, we're yearn
ing for the virgin soil, the bucket
hanging in the well, the Johnnie-Jump
ups io the dell, the humble meal of
tread and milk, the grapes, and hontJJ
fine as silk. And when we reach the
farmer's cot ? the Mecca of our yearn
ing ; bought, the Honest Farmer feeds
us b??ns, and moldy prunes and can
ned sardines, and rank bologna ship
ped from town, denatured milk to
wash it down. The moss-grown buc
ket in the well, the johnnie-Jump-ups in
the dell, are visions of a fevered
brain; the fat red birds are all in
sane; the milk, the honey and the
grapes, are nothing more than phan
tom shapes; the only time we feel a
'hr'll is when the host hands hi his
bill. And so the guys come back to
town. sad. but resolved to live it
down. ? Wilt Mason.
There are those that reoil gainst
the light; they know not the ways
thereof, nor abide in the paths there

Shining Example.
When Turkey casts aside the bonds
That held her to- the past
And comes. a giant new and strong.
By elders not outclassed,
And from a nation old and sick
Sits up and sets the pace,
Then confidently we may say
Thero's hope (or any race.
Who would have thought It of the Turk,
So often billed to die.
That he would come to life again.
So gay and young and spry?
Who would have prophesied that he
The despot's power would chcck
And bo discovered standing thero
Upon the sultan's neck 7
Of course he stood It pretty long.
And time h? had to lu?rn. ' ' 11
Prom centuries of greed and graft
At last the worm will turn.
And when at last he turnod and took
The nations by surprise
He only had to reach his hand'
To grasp the freeman's prlzo.
Good boy there. Mr. Youthful Turk!
You've surely won a place
Among advancing peoples who
Toward progress sot their face. v
You've joined tho human brotherhood.
Our hand Is at your door
To welcome you and *ay you are
Unspeakable no more.

good reading. Look them over at

WHIT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps* Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood la the body passes
through the kidneys ones every thro
minutes. The kidneys filter the< blood
They work nlgt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 gjaiud
of impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
Ur is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in the back, headache, nervous,
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout;
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
tearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
ir the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no troubk"
with your kidneys. . '
W. A. Hawkins, 6G9 Yeeler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement 1
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent. I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had the most sevqre pains jioross
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills helped me at once and contlhue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
rnany occasions."
