CANT BE SEPARATED
Some Alaaka People Have Learned
How to Get Kid of Both
Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the backache
until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are well and strong,
i he rest of the system is pretty sure to
be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney PiUs make strong,
healthy kidneys.
I). K. Dnncau. who resides at the cor
ner of Duane and Ninth St., Astoreia
Ore., says: "I had been troubled with
a weakness of the back and kidneys for
a number of years. There was con
stant dull aching in the loins and a
numbness of the back, often extending
through the whole miscular system as
far up as the shouldors. Notooly did
my back ache but there was a weakness
from the kidney secretions which was
very annoying and disturbed my rest.
I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
used them. I found them to be a great
beiA-rit. After the lirst few doses I felt
better. I know of others who have used
them with the same good results."

The Qood Brother Announces the
Death of Syntax Johnson.
WHAT HE THOUGHT OF HIM.
Departed Member Was Too Qood Foi
Thia Earth, Declares the Pretident
of tha Limekiln Club at Moating Ir
Paradiaa Hall.
[Copyright. ISO*, by T. C. McClurc.J
"My frens," said Brother Gardner a?
be arose In the Limekiln club at Its
last meeting, "it ur' uiy painful ilooty
din ureuin' to aunounce de death ot
Bradder Syntax Johnson of dls club,
whose home was lu Buffalo, io which
place he removed three years ago. His
death was occasuued by enlargement
of de liver. Why de liver wanted tc
enlarge or how large It finally got am
a queshun not to be entered Into at dl>
time. It am sufficient to say dat d<
speerlt of de brudder has passed away
nud dat de usual emblem of mouruin
will be fastened to de outside doab ot
Paradise ball to show de public dat wt
grieve fur a good man gone.
"Among de old members of dis clut
it am uo use to ask who was Bruddtu
Johnson, but some of de uew ones may
want to know 'bout blm. Perhaps nc
one knowed blm as well as 1 did. 1

"I showed hliu how to black a stove
ao dat a thunderstorm wouldn't take
de shine off.
"It was me dat stopped him when
he was gwlne to pay a white man
|-_'0 fur a preparatlou warranted to
take de ktuks out of his hair.
"It was me dat put him ou to de fact
dat lu blackln' a store de pipe comes
In as extra.
"It was me dat warned him dat de
white folks was couuectln' delr chick
en coops wld de police statious and ut
de first alarm ober de wires he would
git his head knocked off.
"1 lent him money; I braced him up:
I turned his thoughts Into better chan
nels.
"Yes. I knowed Brudder Johnson
from top to toe, and I'm tellln' you dai
I expected his death years and year*
ago. He was too good fur dls alrth
He had no business beln' bo'n into dls
world. I used to look at him and
think dat he was au angel dat had
somehow tumbled out of bed and was
waitlu' to git back to heabeu again.
"Brudder Johnson was so guileless
dat lie worked an hour a day tno' dan
lie need to.
"He was so honest dat If he fouud
i cent <>n de sidewalk be would go
'oimd Inqulrln" till he found de owner
"He was so truthful dat If a police
nan found him wld two cblckeus In
i hag be would own right up dat be

"If any oje In distress came to him
le would give his last cent; If he was
ii distress hlsself he'd go hungry fur
wo days sooner dan ax de grocer to
"iist blin fur codfish.
"I's knowed Brudder Johnson to
i.tve $2 In his pocket to last his
fiuu'ly a week. Long would came
Deacon White of bis church and tel)
him dat he owed 52 pew ient. and de
money would be handed ober wldout
a word.
Wn a Quiet Man.
"He nebber played craps; be nebber
bought lottery tickets; he nebber had a
box at I lie postofllce; he nebber talked
politics nor rellguu. He was Jest a
quiet man? a good man.
"And what was his reward? Men
sneered at him. He was tooken fur a
soft mark. He was worked. He was
spoken of as a fool oftener dan as a
good man. He worked obertlme and
got no extra pay. He lent money and
nebber got It back. He alius told de
truth hlsself and believed de lies told
by odders. He was hungry and rag
ged while odders had full stomachs
and good clothes. All men knowed
dat he was good, but all men sneered
at him and spoke of him as a failure.
"And It seemed as If Providence
didn't believe In his beln' so good. He
had biles, he had toothache, he had
bilious feTer, he broke his leg, his
mewl died, a hurrycalne took de roof
off his cabin, and his dawgs died one
by one till he had only five left It
was by my advice dat he moved away
to git a complete change of biwiess
aud climate. He weut to Buffalo to
start In de old fashioned 'lasses candy
blzness. 1 advised him to beat his
landlord If he could. I told him to gib
fourteen ounces tur n pound. 1 allow
ed him how to adulterate de candy. 1
put him up to fifty different dodges,
but It was no use. He went to Buf
falo and continued his honest and
guileless career. Dat was three years
ago, and now death has bleu lu Its
grasp, and we hare got to send his
fam'ly $50 from our treasury to keep
'em off de town.
"My frens. I don't want to stand up
yere and tell you dat de squnr" mid
bonest man of today has no mo' show
In de world dan a straw In n hurry
calue, but 1 want you to llgger some
thiugs out fur yourselves
"When a trust puts de price of algs
at 50 cents a dozen, does It encourage
pore men to steal or buy 'em ?
"When he butcher puts de price of a
pound of bacon at oue-llfth of your
day's wages, does he encourage you to
beat him if you kin?
"When all de trustees and deacons ot
a church am blzness tneu engaged In
inakln' ebery dollar de.v kin, no mat
ter how, has de minister any moral
right to stand up and preach agin
greed aud avarice?
"When some of dose trustees and
deacons ar' publicly charged wld graft
In', have dey any right to criticise de
minister for runnlii' away wld nnod
der man's wife?
"When de landlord of your bouse hue
no care for your health, klu he expect
dat you am gwlne to si|itar' up to de
last dollar befo' you move out?
"De clothier advertises sixteen dol
lar suits for $7.50. You go and buy
and find dat you have got a six dollar
?ult. Ar" delr any redress except to
beat somebody else?
"You pay your money fur a ton ol
coal aud It Is short from a hundred
to two hundred pounds. If you kin
beat de baker out of a dollar It will
help you to git eben.
How to Get Even.
"Dar hasn't been a dollar's wuth of
repairs ou Paradise hall fur de last
fifteen years, aud yet we git notice
from de laudlord dat he am gwlne to
raise de rent 10 per cent. We may
protest and argue, but It will do no
good, be only way we kin git eben
Is to work counterfeit money off on
blm when we pay de rent.
"My frens, I'm not standln' up yere
as either an honest or a dishonest
man. I'm simply sayln' dat de tnan
who tries to go It alone am gwlue to
git left. He's got to go wld de crowd
If dar's a dollar In sight he's got to
grab It fust aud make his explana
tlons afterward. It's greed and graft
from one end of de land to de odder,
and about de only pussous to say any
thing agin It atn de preachers who am
glttln' do salaries and have nufllo' to
lose.
"Twenty thousand Americans am
crossln' to Kurope ebery year, and not
a single one of 'em dares to sit down
fur half an hour wid a German, an
Englishman or a Frenchman and de
fend our politic* or our ways of doln'
business. If be tried to he'd be over
whelmed In five minutes.
"We have had and still have a heap
to say about Venezuela aud Haiti, but
from all 1 klu see lu de pa[>ers both of
dose kentrles kin gib us cards aud
spades on bouesty and have lots left.
"While I's sorry to bear of de death
of Brudder Johnson, 1 take It dat be
atn better off. In fact. I must take It
| dat way. He had either to turn bur
glar or highwayman to git his sheer
of dis world's goods, and he was shore
to be caught In time aud sent to prison
under a law passed by men charged
wld sellln' delr votes. Brudder John
son bad no show. It was a wise thing
fur his liver to enlarge and carry him
off. No entrance fee am charged at de
gates of heaven." M. QUAD.
