No need to experiment.
A M. Buck, a painter, living comer

too h'ghly of lhat wonderful remedy,'
Doan's Kidney PMs My experience
with kidney trouble dates back to the
rarly part of the year, 1894, when I had
a siege of the grip, which left my kid
neys in a very disordered conditioa. I
docto-ed a great deal ar:d took treat- j
raent from the leading physicians tf St.
Paul Minn., for three months, but only
received a temporary relief. The pain
was in the sma 1 of my back and was so
bad I could no', stoop cr straighten up
without tortue. After coming out here
the comp'aint s'ill clung tome nntil a :
friend advised me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. I did cot pay much attention to ,
his advice at the lime, because I nad
use so many things that 1 had about
lost faiih in medicines, but when I saw
th- in advertis-d last summer, as I was
badly in need of something to relieve
the pain, I tried a box. It gwe me so
much relief that I b->ugbt more and
continue i until I took five boxes. They!
cert-dnlv did me an immense amount of i
gcod, and I have no hesitation in recom- !
mending them to anyone suffering 'rom '
any ailment pertaining to the kidneys."

A Clock Mystery
[Original]
After our marriage Lucy anil I went
to live In a little house that had com*
to me as heir-at-law from an uncle.
My uncle had been la poor circum
stances, and at his death every one was
surprised to find that he had owned the
house In which he lived. I was very
glad to come Into possession of even
so poor a dwelling, for 1 had no perma
nent lodgment for my family.
There was an old wheezy clock In the
lower ball whose strike was enough to
wake the dead. During the first even
ing of our occupancy of the house 1
wound this clock, and the tick that had
been enlivening the place for a hun
dred years prior to my uncle's death
went at It again. We were In bed by
half past 10 o'clock aud were just get
ting to sleep when the striking ham
mer roused us. We counted eleven
strokes, and at midnight counted
twelve. Then the number fell off, but
when they were beginning to grow
again I got up. went downstairs, un
hooked the striking weight and drop
ped It In the bottom of the clock case.
Then we both wont to sleep.
The bouse was an old one, and many
things In Its construction were worn
out, among them the cords to which
the sash weights were hung. One day
Lucy told me that a cord at a sitting
room window was broken and the sash
would not stay up when raised. I
found that the weight had fallen down
where I could not reach It. Remem
bering the clock weight, I used it for
a sash weight.
One night I felt Lucy gripping my
ann convulsively. I started up, and
she whispered to me to listen. I
heard the sound of sawinjr and knew
that burglars were cutting out a por
tion of the front door In order to put
In an arm and draw the bolts. I got
up and went out on to the landing. Not
having a weapon in the house, I could
do nothing but wait or give an alarm.
There was no other house near, so I
waited. The sawing finished, the door
was opened, and I heard a step below.
There was a grating, which I recog
nized as the opening of the clock door.
Then I heard a muttered oath, and the
burglar went out by the frout door. 1
went downstairs, struck a light and
examined both the door aud the clock
The clock weight was gane. I stop
ped the hole so that It would not bt
