AN INNOCENT VICTIM.
TKf Original of Squeers Died of ?
Broken Heart.
The grossest injury which Dickens ,
ever intilcteU on a fellow being was
bis too accurate portrait of an in no- I
cent man >u his Squeers. That York
shire schoolmasters were, as a rule,
cruel ami wicked enough it is true, but
the particular schoolmaster who was
reooguiaed and who recognized him
self as the original Squeers seems to
have been an exception to the rule.
It will be remembered that Dickens
and bis illustrator traveled together
to the north of England for the par
pose of collecting material <for "Niek
letoy" ami esjveeiallv for the Dothe
boys espisode. At Great Bridge they
r kited a boardiug school known as
Bowes academy. The master, William
Shaw. received the strangers with
some hauteur ami dhl not as much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
of |*Miiuaking during the interview.
Phbs sketched him In the act: Dick
ens described the act. The personal
pecularitles of William Shaw were
re*vgutaed in Squeers. Shaw became
a butt of popular ridicule, lost his pu
pili and dually died of a broken heart
Yet there is abundant evidence to
prove that he was a really excellent 1
and kind hearted man. who was made
to suffer for the misdeeds of his neigh- !
bors.? Exchange.
BOTH WANTED TO KNOW. !
But the Beautiful Daughter Got the
Setter of the Conteet
"Maria." said the choleric father of
a beautiful daughter, "who was that
young fool who called on yon last
night and stayed until midnight? I
want to know at ouce."
"You shall know In due time," said
Maria, -but first I want to know some
thing. Was he a young fool simply
because he called on me?*
"Or was he a young fool because he
thought me attractive enough to talk
to until nUdnlgh'?"
"Why**?
"I suppose you think that any young
man who c< tes to this house at all Is
a young fool, but why?"
"Now. see here"?
"Is it be- ause there are so many
girls who have sensible fathers that
any youug man who calls on the
daughter of an ill uatured hid curmud
geon 1* a young fool?"
"For goodness' sake" ?
"But I suppose? (-sob)? 1 ought to?
Igurglel? be grateful ? (sob) ? because
you didn't call him h fool to his face
ft.r coming to see me. 1 know you
despise tne (boo-hho-hoo), but"?
But Maria was talking to space. The
choleric father bad lied to the cyclone

Cures that last are cures that tell, j
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine you must investigate the !
cures and see if they prove perma
nent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty of proof exists right j
here in this locality. People who test
ified years ago to relief from backache
kidney and urinary disorders, now de
clare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect Can any Alaskan i
-;ufferCT longer doubt the evidence?
J. Preoatt, 311 Third Ave., N., Se- j
attle. Wash., says: "The relief I re
ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills over
three years ago, has been permanent
and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm
the public statement I gave in favor
of the remedy at that time. For two
years I had attacks of backache and
my kidneys were so weak that the
least cold I contracted settled in them
making my condition worse. Doan's
Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the
pains in my back- and regulated the
passages of the kidney secretions. A
the present time there i?- not a symp
tom of my former trouble remaining.
I advise anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan'B Kidney Pills
a trial."
