Doan's Kidney Pills will give re
ot? ed life.
They will cure the b*ciache;
Cure ev?ry kidney ill.
Here is convincing proof that this
is so;
Mrs. H. M. Thomas. 1402 34th St.
Oakland, CaL, says:
' Tlie merit o f Doan's Kidney Pills
has been taoroughly proven to me
and consequently I have no hesita
t'uc in recommending them. About
two years a^o 1 suffered from pains
in my hack and 1 believe the trouble
n&s caused by excessive running of
the sewing machine. As Doan's Kid*
Le j Pills ha'-e been used by a mem
iiw of our family with the best of
r* wilts, 1 was advised to try them.
Mich to my gratification they proved
to be just what 1 required, driving
away my aches and pains and improv
ing my health. 1 have kept a supply
in the house since then, knowing
th?: they csa be relied upon to give
relief from kidney disorders."

the end of n yardarm when the ship ]
was tolllo' Bti?l dtppln' me In ibe crests j
of the sms. Another Ume he sent me i
on to the bowHprlt when it was cov
ered with Ice and pokin' Itself Into
every wave that f?me along. Well. j
one day he knocked me down with ? |
mnrllnsplke. and 1 picked np n capstan j
bar and hit him on the head."
The old fellow took his pipe ont of
his mouth, cocked his eye at his hear ,
era and asked If the Snug Uarbor was j
a locker for secrets. Being assured ;
that It was. he proceeded.
"1 was desperate and didn't know j
bow hard I struck. 1 cracked his skull,
and he died the same a'ternoon. In
course I was put In Irons to t>e tooken
Into port and tried for both mutiny
and murder? either one o' which, as
you know, mates. Is enough to hang n j
man.
"There wasn't a seaman aboard that
didn't like It because I'd downed the j
mate and got rid o' him The cap
tain and tne other officer didn't think j
that way They didn't believe Iti mu
tiny nohow, and they was bound to
bring me to trial. They didn't know
who to trust to guard me In the brig,
but It didn't make much difference,
for so long as we were at sea there
was no way o' gittin' ashore, eren If
1 bad my liberty. But the a'ternoon
after I killed the mate my guard, as
soon as he was put on watch, put his
linger aside his nose, and he said In a
whisper:
" 'Mate, we seamen has been con- 1
snltin' a way to git you out o' hangln'.
We're nearln' the coast, and the mate
yon killed Is to be burled at two bells
tomorrer mornln'. He's sewed up In
his hammock now, with a ten pound
shot tied to his ankles. Say the word
and we'll take him out and put you
In. We kin give you a sharp knife to
cut yerselt out with, some cork from j
the lifeboats, a bottle o' water an
some herrings.
"1 told him I'd rutber die that way
than be swingin' at a rope's end. and
1 might git picked up. So that night
when the men that was my friends
was on watch they tuk ofl the "irons,
give me the thJnga. tyin the corks
around my body under the arms, the
herrings in a bag the sailmaker had
got up for the purpose around my
waist, a bottle o' water huug from the
waist between my legs, and the knife
1 put in my pocket. Then they watch
ed their cbauce to git rid o' the mate's
body and after dumpln' It overboard
put me In the hammock and sewed me
up.
"In the mornln'. soon after two bells
struck. 1 heard footsteps on tbe deck,
nobodV savin' nothin' and then qnlet
for awhile, when the captain's voice
sounded solium readtu' the burial serv
ice. This was more'n I'd counted on
1 knew I'd probably die, but 1 objected
to the burial service betn' read ovet
me before I was dead
"Howsomever. 1 lay still, and when
] the skipper got -through I felt myself
I lifted up, laid on an Inclined plank and
| skidded off into the water.
| "D'ye know, mates, that was a
I mighty mean feelin". a weight hangin
to my ankles, draggin' me down. Bui
I didn't have no time to be thlnkln'
If I didn't cut the shot loose quick
enough I'd go down where i he water
pressure would keep mo down Be
sides. 1 couldn't hold my breath more
than fifty seconds, though I'd been
practlcln' doin' o* it. I whipped out
my knife, ripped opeu tbe hammock,
got my arms out and cut the cord In
about twenty seconds
"The bag fell off while I was rlsln'.
There was a danger that I'd be seen
from the ship. So I was, but this had
been perwldcd for. As soon as I was
slid off some of my friends tuk up the
attention o' one o' the officers, and
nobody saw me except men who was
fn the plot.
"1 floated on the water all that day
and the neit. I'd had a good break
fast before bein' h"lsted overboard and
didn't eat nothin' till evenln'. when I
pulled out some herring from the poncb
around my belt and rook a little water.
1 saw several ships that day. bnt none
on 'em came near enough to ball. The
next day one passed me about a mile
