TWO BROKEN SPORTS.
It is announced in the columns of
a paper that makes a specialty of
sporting events and of the careers
of noted prize-fighters ana gamblers,
that two of the best known sports
In this country are now "to the bad.'
One of these Is Ed Corrigan, a fa
mous American turfman and plung
er; and the other is Pat Sheedy.
who. in a long aud varied career In
which he to said to have won and
lost millions across the green cloth,
gained the soubriquet of the "squart
gambler." Corrigan is poverty-strick
en in Lexington. Ky., with less than
$?>000 in his possession, attending
upon his dying wife. Sheedy is at
Chicago, dying of fatty degeneration
of the heart; practically a pauper.
Men of this type are often good
men. That is to say they are honor
able as to their engagements and
obligations; generous in their In
stincts; kindly and sympathetic in
their treatment of the unfortunate
and companionable among their fel
lows. They are men possessing, with |
out a doubt, more admirable charac
teristics than can be claimed by
many others who would denounce
them as moral outcasts, and whose
hues are cast In perfectly proper
and respectable channels. Further
more, the best men of this type, es
pecially the successful ones are men
of nerve, which Is but nother name
for shrewdness. In their judgment
, t men ?nd affairs they are aided by
H sort of insight and readiness. But.
after all. the chances for their ulti
mate success are altogether against
ihem and for fundamental reasons..
The professional gambler who
makes betting the business of his
lifetime loses his grip on all that
Koes to build healthy morals and
sound mentality. The spiritual part
cl him becomes extinct. The moral
died, e'er deserved so fair a bride.
The mental part of him eventually
atrophies In all other lines except .
the consideration of chances, and the|
exercise of those faculties which en
able him to decide whether his oppo
nent will be t-u "easy mark ' or no..
Ihat the physical part of him is more
than apt to suffer is obvious from
the nature of his occupation aud the
tabits of life Incident thereto.
It is impossible for men to get
away from the philosophy of work;
from the demand which N.u >re u:.ik?4
upon men tor service. Consider thj
? wo men in question, either of then,
had undoubted ability to have en
gaged In some legitimate line of busi
ness. aud with success. There might
not have been a chance for the ac
quirement of so much money as they
have spent, and which they never
earned: but there Is every reasonable
assurance that they could ha\e at
talned reasonable competence; and.
above all. honor, and a resolute,
healthful, robust self-respect, which
they have never known as gamblers.
It was long odds that the end would
have been quite different, even from
-,he financial viewpoint; while from
every other viewpoint what would
have been the galu Is dear enough.
The money they have had has fled
trom them; and the sad part of It to
think upon is what they bartered for
that money . ? Portland Telegram.
THE JUNE BRIDE.
Here she comes, and she's a sight.
In her gown of 3nfcwy white, thing of
beauty and charm, leaning on her
lover's arm! Bright her eyes as
?ummer skies, and a glory in them
lies, borrowed from the realms above.
where the only light Is love. And
her lover looks serene, shaven, per
fumed, groomed and clean; pride la
glowing la his eyes, that he's won so
(air a prize. Lover, lover, do your
best, ne'er to wound that gentle
breast; lover, never bring a smart,
to that true and trusting heart!
Strive to earn the love you've won,
as tlfe years their courses run, know
ing ever, as you strive, that no man
who Is alive, and no man since Adam
part of him is choaked with greed.

THE MINOR POET.
HE may not wake the mighty chords
That rouse to fury and to fire.
He may not voice In wondrous words
The soul's supreme desire.
Yet let him sins? his simple lays
Plow forth so sweetly from Ills heart
That fortune's lure and glory's blaze
Are naught beside his art.
OH. not for him the laurel wreath.
And not for htm the poet's crown!
But his the tine free air to breathe.
Untainted of the town.
And his to brighten broken lives
And spirits overwrought with wrong
And bring to men and weans and wives
The solace of a so.ig,

There Is more Catarrh In this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
-?asea put together, and until the
list few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Scienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and tnucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for auy case itj
fails to cure. Send for circulars and ;
testimonials.

WHAT THE K1DNEYSC00 *
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood ia the body passes
through the kidneys once every thre
minutes. The kidueys filter the blood
They work nlgt uud day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of Impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
Ur is left in tho blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in tho back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in tho urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler 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
I 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 severo pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney i
Fills holped me at once and continue I
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills j
and have recommended them on
many occasions."
