Theodore Josephson, I"> Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: " Vbout
five years ago 1 used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was sufferin from se
vere pains across my back and loins,
at times so severe that I was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the si
cretlons generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fall to banish the trouble."

AMAZING FEATS OF MUSCLE.
The Emperor Maximianus Could Lift
Three Men With One Hand-Augus
tus the Strong of Saxony Carried a
Horse and Its Rider on His Dack.
Curiously enough, a large percentage
of the uotabl.v strong ">??? of hl8t0|'v
have been of royal blood. One of the
earliest of these royal athletes was
Maximianus. called -Maximianus Ilcr
irules" because of his great strength.
He was the son of a peasant ami h.u
:ui enormous physique. lie became a
?Kinuioii soldier ami was finally made
omjKT-r i. : claim of his fellow sol
UU-rs during u stormy period of Ko
man history. ..
Maximianus" strength was prodi
clous it was said that on foot he
could run dowu a fox. that he could
lift three men with one hand aud that
by gripping the wheel of a chariot
with one tinker he could resist the pull
of three horses. 1-IUe mos! men of ?
-reat phvsleal strength. Maximianus
was a heavy eater. History records
that his 1 1 lily allowance was fortj
pounds of meat and eighteen bottles of
Vugust us the Strong of Saxony was
another of these royal Samsons. He
would often seize two of his courtiers,
grasping one with his right hand and
another with his left, holding them up
at arm's length aud playfully twirling
them about.
, u, one occasion the horse ridden b>
one of his attendants beeame balky
and refus??d t? budge. After some min
utes Of < ..axing the king dismounted,
placed his Herculean shoulder under
the horse's chest, grasping it by the
fore legs, and calmly walked away
with both horse and rider. This re
markable performance was witnessed
by a number of courtiers and attend
UllU.
King Kirbanl of Knglaud ("eoeur ilv
Lloti"i had tremendous strength. 1 Hir
ing his captivity in Germany he gave
a terrible demonstration of his physical
powers. The sou of one of the ward
ens was a youth U-ally renowned for
his- muscular strength aud In his as
suran . 0 Invited the royal captive to an
exchange of buffets. The young man
by a east of the di.-e won the right to
the il i ? t stroke and struck the King a
staggering blow on the side of the
head It wa then the kiii^ s turn, and
be landed a blow just behind his op
ponent's ear so heavy that the man
was Instantly killed.
This Incident is used in Sir Walter
Scott's famous historical novel "lyan
lu?e." where King Richard. the "Black
K night." and the Jolly outlaw I rlar
'Tuck have an exchange of buftets,
without, however, any fatal result.

well as mcTital power. His years of
work as Ma. ksmi H and ship carpen

erful physique that he was believed to
t?. the strongest man In Russia.
The storv is told that a certain
t,la-ksmi>h in a little country town had
t.oast<.t that ho was the only black
smith in the world who could lift his

> worthy successor of 1 eter tlu
Great was the late Czar Alexander III..
who was one of the strongest men In
the world, lie was often called the
llusslan Samson." The czar s regular
visiting card was a Russian coin some
what larger than our silver quarter
i which he would bend almost double
-with his powerful fingers
Alexander was also foml of breaking
twrseshoes. and it Is said he newt
found one he could not break In two.
He could take two fresh packs of card
ind by gripping the ends with his
liands tear them straight down through
the middle.
It is said that on one occasion a w.
man companion expressed a wish for a
bouquet holder In which to place a
large bunch of roses. The czar took a
pewter tankard from a table nearby
and with a few movements of his pow
erful hands fashioned it into a rough
but picturesque and <iuite efficient bou
