Lyon, of St. Johns, tried the case In Presque Isle county, as the note was in the bands of an Innocent purchaser. Tbe conrt gave a contrary ruling, but the Supreme court has now held with Mr. Lyon, Several Shiawassee county lawyers were also more or less Interested in tbe case.

Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys.
dfeftimy Kidneys Make Impure Btood.
All the blood In your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your bipod purifiers, they filter out the waste or Impurities in the blood.
If they Are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work.
Pains, aches and rheumatism come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart Is over-working lr\ pumping thick, kidney-poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to bs traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their beginning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It standi the highest for tic wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail Home <,r CMUHP-BM*. free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamtoa. N. Y.

It la Man's Only Friend Among Beats of th» Jungle.
The puma or cougar is one of the largest of the American felidae. and ID sometimes called the mountain lion, although the resemblance to a lion ts very slight. It Is the dreaded panther (or painter) of North America, sad many tales of its ferocity sad blood* thlrstiness are current.
It is now rare in the United States, but in South America the imam, to give Us proper name, abounds, and there it Beem* to have lost Its fsrocity and is actually a friend to man.
A traveler in South America who has invastlgated this strange subject, gives several peculiar instances of the puma's friendliness to man.
He tells of a person who had spent most of his life on the pampas, and who, on one occasion, when traveling, lost his horse by death aud was compelled to continue his Journey on foot
At night he made his bed under the shelter of a rock, on the slope of a stony sierra: a bright moon was shining, and about nine o'clock in the evening four pitmu appeared, two adults with their two half-grows young.
Not feeling the least alarmed at their presence, he did not stir, and after awhile they began to gambol together close to him, concealing themselves from each othei among the rocks, just as kittens do, and freqsent ly /whi le pursuing one another, leaping over htm. He continued watching* them until past midnight, then fell asleep and did not wake until morning; when they had left him.
1 asked him if he had ever killed a puma, and he replied that he had killed only one,: and had sworn never to kill another. He said that while out one day with another herder, looking for est tie, a puma was found.
It sat up with its back against a stone, ahd, did not move, even when his companion threw the ncose of his lasso over its neck. My Informant then dismounted, and, drawing bis knife, advanced to kill it. Still the puma made no attempt to free itself from the lasso, but it seemed to know, he said, what was coming—for It began to tremble, the tears ran from its eyes, and it whined In the most pitiful manner.
He killed It as it sat there unresisting before him but, after accomplishing the deed felt that he had committed a murder. It was the Only thing he had ever floue In his life, he added, which mied him with remorse when be remembered.
All who h^ve'killed or witnessed the killing of a puma—and I have queB-ti'Jtied svorrs'of hunters on this point -—fwroe that it resigns itself in this imr«.'«i.Ht.ing. luUhrl if manner to death :*(.'the -liivrids tit man.

When the hunter is accompanied by doss, then the jriima, instead of drooping and-shedding tt'-ars, is roused to a sublime rage; Us hair stands erect; Its eyes shine like halls of green flame, it spits and snarls like a furious cat.
The huntt-r'a presence seems at such times U) PKJ ignored altogether, its whole attention being given to the dogs and its rage directed against them.
In Patagonia, a sheep-farming Scotchman with whom I su*nt some days, showed me the skulls of five pumas which he had shot in the vicinity of his ranch. One was of an exceptionally lar^e animal, and I here relate whftt b" told me of his encounter with this puma, as it shows just how the creature almost invariably behaves when attacked by man and dogs:
He was out on foot with his flock, when the dog discovered the animal concealed among the bushes. He had left his gun at home, and having no
weapon, ana finuihg that the dogs dared not attack it where it sat in s defiant attitude, with its back against a thorny bush, he looked about and found a las*ge dry ?,tick, and, going boldly up to it, tried to svan it with a violent blow on the head. But though it never looked at him, its fiery eyes gazing steadily at the dogs all the tim<3, be could not hit it, for, with a quick side movement, it avoided every blow.
The small heed the puma paid him, and the apparent ease with which it & voided his best aimed blows, only served to rouse his spirit, and at length, striking with increased force, bis stick came to the ground and was broken to pieces. For some moments ho now stood within two yards of the animal, perfectly dofeuseless and not knowing what to do.
Suddenly it sprang past him, actually brushing aguintt his arm with its side, and began pursuing the dogs around and around among the bushes In the end my informant's partner ap-dog of uncertain breeding.
CHILDREN r-ONU OF oNAKES.
Revere, M a t t , Youngsters Have Fancy for Queer Pets.
Probably as peculiar a set of toys as any now chronicled was presented to children in Revere, Mass. When the four children of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus J. Brownell tumbled from theh cribs last Christmas morning to see how Santa. Claus had dealt with them each found coiled in his stocking a baby boa constrictor.
Michael Gonzola, of Calcutta, India, one of the largest reptile dealers In the world, was the Santa Clans who gave the children these strange gifts. The Infant constrictors, which did not exceed nine inches in length, were sent from New York to Revere in season for the occasion- They were packed in straw in a ventilated box of
Mr. Brownell Is a dealer in all kinds of makes . His four children—Donald, aged two; Wendolyn, four; Maud, five and Kathlyn, nine—seem to have inherited from their father a liking for reptiles.
"The baby boas," Mr. Brownell says, "will be perfectly harmless at this early stage of their career, and for a few weeks will make Interesting playthings for the children. They like snakes as well as 1 do, and ever. Baby Donald is no more afraid of one than he is of a cat When trie snakes begin to put on inches and manifest a desire to tie knots around the table legs 1 will put them into my snake room and keep them there."
TOURISTS WELCOME IN SPAIN.
Government to Systematically Encourage Foreign Visitors.
The Spanish government has created a national commission—with authority to expend generous sums of money—whose sole duty it ifc to "encourage, by whatever means are at UK dLsixisal, the visit of foreigners, either those Coming for pleasure or for improvement."
Taking their cue from the example and ssuc.'.:ess of America and. Switzerland ibr Spaniards arc beginning to appreciate the cuuirm-rcial benelitK re-wuStinj; from a thriv-iuK tourist trade, thus Mr.'Tiishitis evidence that this ant-lent nation, which ha.-s heretofore held itself aloof from foreigners, haa

Anions the -methods to bv inaugurated by the eiimi.'iittei* is the preparation and circulation in other lands of itineraries for,, travel which -will best Kive opportunities tor visiting the. principal natural and artistic monuments, landscapes and marine views and...other points which may most readily and profitably interest foreigners.
The commission will also invoke the aid of the railway companies and seek the iaa,usura.tioii, by systematic and co-operative methods, of special passenger rates, comfortable trains and other conveniences of modern travel, so thai the traveler may arrange his four from the seaports through the interior, ou the most attractive routes, even before he leaves home.
The expenses of the commission and its. work will be borne by the government, and the members are instructed to co-operate with municipal authorities, town councils, commercial and other bodies in doing everything legitimate "to attract and retain the subjects of other nations."
An Adventure in the Hog Pasture. The domestic hog, gruuting lazily
about his pen, i? as harmless a creature in appearance as can be imagined. In their wild state, according to the reports of travelers, hogs are fierce and cruel, unrelenting in their fury, and will attack men when roused. • Circumstances occasionally arise which show that this wild strain has not been wholly lost, even In the most obese porker.
Mark and Carl Perkins, two Chicago boys, aged 11 and 14, while sf^nd-iug their vacation l i s t summer on their Grandfather Trigg's farm in central Wisconsin, had an experience with hogs which txiey will not soon forget.
Among the many delights which the farm afforded, the one which gave the boys the most pleasure, during the early part of the summer, was picking wild strawberries in a pasture a half:mile from the house. The most convenient route to this field was across the hog pasture, a ten-acre lot which lay between the "strawberry pasture" and the house.
On these berrying trips they were often accompanied by Mack, a farm peared on the scene with his rifle.
One afternoon, the week after their arrival, they started for strawberries, carrying with them two tin pails and a lunch which their grandmother had put up for them.
"Boys," their grandfather called after them, "see if there are any gophers In those traps I set on the hill! The little pests are going to kill all the grass if I don't manage to get rid of them somehow.'*
The hoys went to the place indicated, and found the traps, nieely hidden, but no gopher*.
"I gneas It's too early. They
to Mark. "Run and cllaib over the fence."
"Shall I take the berriesr asked Mark. .
While Carl hesitated, a snout struck the back of his leg, and he heard his trousers rip.
"Run quick!" he critid, and the next instant was knocked down.
A babel of hoarse grunts and the snapping of tusks surrounded him, above which rose the shrill squeals of
aud, half-rising, he laid about vigorously, and soon had a eircle cleared, round which the hogs stood with snapping, foaming jaws.
In this moment of relief he saw that Mark had reached the fence. He sprang toward the hogs that stood between this and him, and beat them over the head. They gave way, and he started to run, when he was jerked back by something that tugged at his hand.
In the excitement he had slipped a finger through the ring in the end of the chain and could not withdraw it. He was chained to the pig! The danger of the situation really came to the boy for the first time. He struggled madly to release his finger, but the ring had slipped above the knuckle, and his struggles only served to blacken and ouculcr the finger.
if he was to escape he would have to fight his way through. He could not run. The pain in his finger from the continual tugging of the pig was becoming excruciating. Slowly he moved toward the fence, now about a hundred yards distant, dragging the pig. The drove of hogs moved with him in a solid and constantly narrow* ing circle.
To increase his difficulties, the dis-

A Manchester (Conn.) young man had a tired look the other morning, and many thought he was ill.
To a friend he confided his story. • There was a baby in hi3 house, only a few months old. There is also a cat. Sunday evening, as it is the custom each evening, the baby's milk supply for that night, was put on a stand in a place where it could be conveniently got in the night
About one a m. that morning the baby awoke. The milk bottle was empty and when a fresh supply was looked for on ihe stand it was found there was no milk there. In a moment the fond papa realized where the milk had gone. The cat had come into the room while they were asleep and had drank it.
The baby cried the remainder of the nisht, and he and .his wife ti>ok turns carrying the baby around the room, That's why he was tired.—Hartforu
haven't come out yet." ^aid Carl.-The boys weot on to the straw
berry pasture. After their -palls were Tilled, they Bat down to rest, and suddenly remembered that they were hungry. They brought out their bread and jam and eold chicken.
"liet's go hack by the traps," said Carl, after they had 'finished their' lunch! "There might be a gopher in one now."
The traps wore near the center of the field. When they were near them they hear a pig squeal. The squealing grew louder. "Well, that's que«r," said Carl. "It must be hurt."
"Maybe it's lost," snggested Mark. They could hear hogs all over the
pasture grunting in response to the squeals of the pig.
"Come on, Mark!" crtetf Carl. 'I see It. It's in a trap!" He began to run. holding the pails carefully so as not to spill the berries. 'Talce them," he said, handing these m Mark, "while I get it out. Its leg may get broken."
He stooped to bead the spring, but the pig made such frantic efforts to escape that it jerked up the stake which held the - chain and hobbled away, with the trap clinging to its foot.
"Carl, I'm afraid of the hogs!" cried Mark.
They were indeed acting strangely. They were running toward them from all quarters of the pasture, uttering a noise that wag more like a roar than a gYunt.
"Hogs?" said Carl, scornfully. "Hogs won't hurt you. See, I can drive them away with this stick." He picked up a stick and rapped a hog smartly over the back. The animal squealed and ran to one side. #
Mark was reassured. His confidence in his older brother was unlimited. Together they set out after the crippled pig, chasing it hither and thither, in and out of the drove of excited hogs. Finally Car! caught the end of the chain and stopped its progress, at which the pig squealed more wildly than ever. The old hogs' were making a deafening uproar round them. Even Carl began to get nervous.
"You'd better get out!" he shouted
tracked pig' began' to run about him winding his legs in the chain anc thre-arenln!? to overthrow him. Can .was., becoming terror-stricken, frantic, fie svniek a hog which was'-diaputing his way, and saw his stiok fly to
• pieces. He'looked up and cried alouri in terror. The fence w;u so near, yet he could not reach it.
He could see Mark running about excitedly on the other side of the fence and—whistling? Yes whistling. He was calling Mack.
Carl turned eagerly toward th* house and his heart gave a great hound. Help was coming! Up the iohg slope that led from the bous« Mack was coming like an arrow sped from a bow. Would he be in tirnt*"*
Carl turped and began to kicJt savagely at the hogs. The frightened pis rar* between his legs, and whirled about, wrapping him hopelessly in the chain. He struggled to keep his foottog, but fell under the rush of the .'logs. F\or a brief moment they ran pver him, and he covered his face with his hands, expecting with each breata 1» feel their teeth. Then to his amazement they left hira, and he was lying alone tn the sunshine, unmolested. Even the pig had escaped by freeing itself from the trap.
The explanation for this came from an uproar at one side. In the midst of the drove Mack was spinning like a top, snapping right and refL a bleeding snout here and an ear there showing that these leaps were not futile. At last the dog made a lunge at a particularly large hog, and fastened so securely that his hold could not be broken. The squeals of his victim sent the entire drove fleeing in terror down the hill.
Carl got up slowly, crossed the fence, and sat down. The world seemed to be traveling round in a circle. Mark, the clouds, the trees and the twa pails of berries all seemed a part of a huge merry-go-round.
"I'm glad you didn't spill them," he said, thickly. "Grandma—" Then it suddenly bacame dark.

T H E STORY.
WHAT a wave of enthusiasm that was which swept over that por
tion of Israel whither the messengers of Gideon had gone. The story of his oveiUirow of Baal aud the cutting down of the grove, together with his call to Israel to throw off the yoke of the Midianites, had stirred to new hope, and fighting men out of the tribes of Manasseh, Asher, Zebulim and Xaphthali quickly rallied around the standard which Gideon had set u]). There is encouragement and enthusiasm in numbers, and as the little nucleus which Gideon had at the first gathered about him grew to be 1,000 and then 5,000, then 10,000, ihen 20,000, then 30,000, and still they were coming in, the spirits of the men rose until Gideon was scarce able to restrain them from an immediate advance upon the enemy, which at the first warning of trouble in Israel, had been gathering In the vahsy of Jez-reel,
It was not strange in the face of such an encouraging outlook, therefore, that Gideon should have felt some decree of satisfaction and confidence as he watched his army &row, and as he passed through the camp and noted the eager, hopeful faces of bis men and heard their words of Assuranw as they talked of the com-ir.g conflict, he could not help but say within his own heart :
"Surely we could not fail to win with such an army."
That night a council of war was held aod It was decided that an ad vance should be made early in the
morning. At the appolnte'i time evtry man was in his place ready to move, and after a quick march the army came to a place selected by Gideon upon the Mount Gilead, From the commanding oosition the forces of the Midianites and the A mala-kites and those confederated with them could be seen stretched out in long irregular lines in the valley and upon the opposite hillsides of Moreh. ^7hat, multitudes there were! in comparison their army was but a mere handful! For the first time Mace his men had come together, Gid-tion defected the shadow of fear reflected in their faces. . "Chi pshaw." ejanniatod one of Gideon's captains to whom he mentioned the matter, -'that feeling wil. disappear when we begin our assault upon the enemy,"
This remark served to reassure Gid-' -/on, and he soon, forgot his fears in the active preparations which were being made for the coming conflict. At last everything in the little army was brought into order, and Gideon retired tu his tent tor a little rest. His repose was suddenly broken by a voice saying unto him:
"The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Now, therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people saying: Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and, depart' early from Mount Gilead.'"
Startled and amazed, Gideon stood rooted to the spot, after the voice had ceased. Surely, his army was small enough now. What could he hope for if part were sent home?
"Rut God hath spoken." at la3t he eKcIalmesd, "He who hath promised victory will give it in his own way."
And in this spirit of faith and submission he went forth into the camp and caused it to be proclaimed throughout the ranks of the Israelites that whosoever was fearful or afraid should depart for home. And all during that night and until the early, morning there was a constant stream of men leaving the camp, glad to escape the certain defeat, as they thought, a t tfc^r hand\5 of the vast hosts of the enemy, until 22,000 had disappeared down, the elopes of Mount Gilead, and left Gideon and bis little army of 10,000 standing there looking with questioning glances into each other 's faces.
"But our God who hath promised us the victory dolh not depend upon numbers," shouted Gideon to his captains standing near him, and they In turn took up the shout so that the words echoed and reechoed all over the camp, and the sound thereof was wafted out upon the clear morning air to the very camp of the enemy
And while .Gideon stood looking upon the scene and the words were still sounding in his ears, the voice of tbe Lcrd came to hi ra again, say* ing:
"The people a re yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there; and It shall be that of whom 1 say unto thee: "This shall go with thee,' the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, 'This shall not go with thee,' the same shall not go."
Again came the questioning in Gideon s heart ; again the doubt as to wisdcrn-of'furtuwf reducing his army, and then, as before, came iha thought:
"But God hath spoken. He know-eth how he will do this t h ing"
And again in obedience to the command of the Lord, Gideon ordered tha advance of his army down to the stream. ,--
Gideon reached the brink of the river In advance of his men, and turned to receive them, wondering the while what the Lord's purpose was concerning them. And the word of the Lord came to h!m again, saying:
•Everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one i b s t boweth down upon his knees to drink."
Instantly Gideon saw the purpose of God. He would discover who was so intent upon the Lord's business as to keep his eye upon the enemy while he hastily refreshed himself with the cool water. And Instead of being dismayed when he saw the little band of 300 men, his faith laid hold of God with new power, and he knew that victory was to be his.
The night is dark, such a night as brings oftentimes the forbodings of danger to the wicked, and to the righteous the confident tone of assurance that God rules in the dark-ness as he does in the light. The vast army of the Midianites are passing the hours ' in troubled dreams, while Gideon and his faithful little band is surrounding the camp.
Suddenly upon the quietness of the midnight there souDds the trumpet blast; there comes the crash of the steel of a mighty army; there flares forth all around the mountain-side the torch lights of an advancing host. And fhen there rings out the c-y:
"The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!"
In mad terror the hosts of the Midianites flee in thy frenzy of despair, and every man's sword is raised against his fellow, so that there was slaughter in the camp of the Midianites 3uch as was never known before or since. Thus did Gideon and his band prevail against the mighty enemy and bring deliverance to Israel.

An Artist's Model
By Louis Joseph Vttac*
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Along the hallway, which was dark, Mrs, Thome faltered, panting. There was barely enough light for her to make out the boldly lettered name upon Carton's door. She tapped It so'tly—the Guttering of a bird's wing would have made hardly less noise.
"Come in!" Before she realized it, the door WHS
swung open, letting a flood of light Into the hall, and framing the figure of Richard Carton, painter—a tall, broad-chested man, butlt big and Hthe-ly, who stood upon his feet squarely, with the bearing of self-confidence.
"Well?" Carton asked, looking down at her coolly, curiously.
'"Mr. Carton?" she responded with a question, to which he bowed affirmation. "I—I am Mrs. Thorne."
The name of course meant nothing to him; Carton saw only the slight, aimost willowy figure, clothed in shabby black, and the soft pallor of her face, framed largely in the mass of her hair, very dark and shot witfc metallic tresses, bronze-colored—such a crowning glory as is most delightful
i to pa in t But pc-rhaps he saw only the big, dark eyes, and read in them their pleading message. At any rate, his manner became more kindly.
"Oh, yes. Mrs, Thorne. You want to pose? Won't you come in?" He invited her to enter, courteously. "I. have been looking for .a good model for some time. I think you will do splendidly."
She got into the room somehow, dtimbly, in a tumult of emotions—of relief, strangely allied with some
! chagrin, ' that he had not recognized her; of mortification because, of poverty's flaunting signals in her attire. Weil, it was bread for The Boy, at least. .
UpoD the model-stand—^ low wooden affair some' five or sis feet in diameter—she was aware of' an,, .assured isolation. Had Mrs. Thome beon a chair or a table she felt that Carton's interest in her would have been ot the same nature, of no less and no greater intensity.
It is the artist 's attitude to his model; but at t imes she found herself resenting it dully. She bad come regularly now every afternoon for over a week'/'
As for Carton, she felt that she would have known biro anywhere, Just, as she had been startled by the unchanged quality of bis voice, by the t imbre of his footfall, after so long a time. How long? Could it be only eight years since he left theff.native village to study his ar t ; but seven Since her marriage, only four since ber husband's death, which had left her, with The Boy, dependent upon her own exertions, penniless and without friends?
Once Carton asked her advice about some small detail of a tea he pro-
' posed giving. J "I'm afraid," she told him, "that I j have been out of the social life for jso long a time that I would fcardiy j know." • "Oh, well, it's a slight matter, after ! all. Only I wanted everything to be ! j Ust so. Women are particular, you know."
It seamed to Mrs. Thorne that something tightened suddenly about
j her heart. Thtnre was, then, a woman I to be present, whom he desired to | please! j And his unostentatious invitation to ! tea she was careful to decline, alt h o u g h on the afternoon following the function she could not refrain from asking, archly, "Did. she life:*; i t?"
"She?" Carton echoed the word in alarm. Mrs. t h o r n e saw the color rise to his forehead; she thought his manner confused, boyish, a rden t "She? I didn't know I mentioned—"
"You didn ' t " she hastened to reassure him; "but women—old married women like myself—feel privileged to have intuitions, you know." She finished with a little laugh, that even-to her ears rang hollow.
"Yes," he assented, "I suppose so." (At least he might, have contradicted that phrase, "old married women!") "You—you're right," he stammered; and then his face fell, as did her hopes, which she had based on his expected denial. "But she didn't come —for some reason."
"But she will?" "Oh, yes, I'm sure she will!" He
vas quite too enthusiastic. He seized his brush, and began to
slap paint upon the canvas furiously. "Indeed!—" "A feilow likes to confide in some
one, you know, Mrs. Thome." He fidgeted, very 1).1 at ease. "We—we are to be married next week."
"Married? You? Next week?" She sat bolt upright.
"Why, yes; I'vn just arranged i t " He said something else, but she
did not hear; she was thinking that since he was happy nothing else mattered much. Besides—and here she raised her head, with proud eyes —she had The Boy.
At the end of the day's sitting he iald down the tools of his trade with a sigh of relief. "There!" he added. "A couple of days more, &rA then—" He paused. ,
Carton rose and walked to the win^ dow, where he stood looking out. "Xow, there's the matter of a gown that stumps ma," he s*Jd, slowly. "I've been to every costumer in town, and can't get what 1 wan t Maybe you could heln ni t o^t—Mrs- Thorne,"
"How do we know—if we're dead?" asker-' Bill. "We may be goin' down all the time we're dreamin' we're go-in' up."
"But we ain't dead!" said Pete, angrily, for somehow anger seemed to lessen his own unsteadiness.
"Then there's a bell on earth, like folks has said," announced Bill. "But It don't seem right to me. I figger that I died yesterday afternoon when I was feelin' so mean, an' cow we're in the vestibule. Say! but it 's goin' to be awful when the devil opens the door. Can't we go back"f"
"Now, see here, Bill!" exclaimed Pete, 'you pretty near got me go's I wouldn't dare "pick a di'mono ring off the floor, an' if-Rome"'feller said 'Boo!' I'd bump my head on a star. J'd be lookin'. to see a red man with horns an' a tail, if it wasn't for one th ins / '
"What's that?" asked Bill. "There ain't no chance for wood
floors down to his place." Bill took a knife from his pocket,
cut a piece from one of the steps of the basement stairs, and gave a deep sigh of relief.
"It 's real wood, Pete," he said. "Let's make another try at the first floor."
Again they opened the door to the i _ .
"Ta"ke tiiC' said Pete, as he permitted himself to be pulled out of the window.
"You didn't make your getaway," laughed one of the policemen.
'•That's just what we're doin' now!** cried Bill and Pete, "an' no other Je-1-ler.3 ever got so close an' come back/*
To the great surprise of the policemen, these two malefactors s«emed to derive great comfort and satisfaction from temporary association with the representatives of ^iuman law.

"We're havin' the devil of a time, Pete," complained BilL "I ain't feel-in' right about it y e t Mebbe we only dreamed it was wood, an' It was asbestos all the time."

Bill. "I bet you, we're dead, an' we ain't got the sense to know It. There ain't no such place as this on earth;"

the chokin', an ' the smartin ' eyes. I tell yon. we're dead an' bein' trained easy for the big show. We got to be worked up so's we can stand it. Even the devil wouldn't give a feller the thirty-third degree right off."
Pete wavered. His own eyes were smarting, his own throat was hot and dry, his own breathing was difllcult and painful, and his own mind was unequal to the task of deciding the cause of this choking, sulphurous atmosphere. But* he remembered the crates and boxes,
"We got to see what there is," he said. "We'll make a run to the second floor, smash in the boxes an' then git out."
"It 's brimstone," complained Bill. "They don't need nothin' else in this place. I tell you, Pete, we're dead, an' the devil's makln' us rehearse our old tricks. Think ot havin' to rob hell of sulphur!"
Thus Bill whined, but he followed Pete, because he was afraid to do anything else. They rushed up the stairs and burst open a bedroom door.
"The inside furnace!" yelled Bill. "He's got us now."
They gasped, choked, closed their smarting eyes, backed out, fell over each other, and rolled down the stairs. Still half crazed, they got to the doer to the basement stairs and roiled down them also. At the window by which they had entered two policemen were waiting.
"We've got you!" cried the policemen.

States, duriug -which time the most searching inquiry has failed to shake the testimony of the negroes that they did not commit the outrage, what appears to be the true version of the crime has been secured from one of the discharged soldiers, who admits that he partially participated. The man has been living in Galveston a large portion of the time since he was discharged without honor from the military service of, the nation which be swore, to serve honorably, and is still in the city,
Was Result of a Blovv. According to the statement made to
the reporters, the outrage wo.s not prer meditated, but was the; result of aa alleged injury done one of the soldiers by a white man in Brownsville about a half hour before the raid was made. The negro was struck by the white man at a resort in Brownsville. The negro, returning to the barracks, seized his rifle and announced that he was going to kill the white man. Several of the negroes promptly Volunteered to go alc*?g and sse the work well done and to wipe out old scores which th,ey had against the citizens on account of the injuries which they claimed to have Buffered.
The negroes returned to the barracks after committing the assault on the town, and many soldiers assisted In the hurried cleaning of the guns for the inspection which followed soon after t he shooting in the town ceased.
Apparently the BoldietH from only one company participated in the raid, although practically the entire battalion knew that soldiers had done the shooting.
The man who talked to the reporters gave his name as p . C. pray and stated he was formerly a private In Company 13 of the Twenty-fifth infantry'.

Overman, of >ft>rth Carolina, who is a member of the senate committee on military affairs, which is investigating
the "shooting up" of Brownsville, when shown the dispatch from Galves-

' tha t the committee received informa-I tion two weeks ago that a former I member of the Twenty-fifth infantry had expressed a willingness to make a f full confession if he could receive ! some assurance from the government ; that he would be protected. Senator Overman says that this ..Information was forwarded to Secretary Taft with the suggestion that it be investigated by the war department.
"All the discharged troops who tell the truth about the affair," said the senator, "will certainly be protected by the government."
Neither the senate committee on military affairs, nor the war department has received any official report regarding the alleged confession.

Thaw with beating her when she had told him that the statement that Stanford White had drugged and ruined her was not true.
The Hummel testimony came during the afternoon session of the trial and Mr. Delmas, first objecting broadly to all of Hummel's testimony, offered a specific objection to each question put by the prosecutor. Justice

rulings noted on the records. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was called to
the stand in the effort of the defense to keep Hummel si lent She declare1
she had called upon Hummel in his professional capacity and, to seek his advice as a lawyer. Stanford White had taken her to the lawyer's office with that end in view.
Justice Fitzgerald declared that, admitting the proposition of counsel and client, Mrs. Thaw had herself waived the professional privilege by taking the stand early in the case and giving her version of what transpired at Hummel's office. The'bond of secrecy, once removed, could not be reestablished.
Hummel Admits Ccnviction. Unsuccessful in blocking Hummel's
testimony, Attorney Delmas in cross-examining the witness brought from his own lips the fact that he had been convicted in December, l'jOS, on a charge of conspiracy in tho same s^iirtrooro ia which. Thaw is help?
tried. Hummel further admitted "that two indictments of perjury are pending against him &ntf that one of these indictments charges him with having caused a false affidavit to be made.
Mr. Jerome protested against the witness '\>eing dragged through the humiliating details" of bis trial, but Justice Fitzgerald declined to Interfere.
Then Mr. Delmas.asked Kummel if he had not heard the speech made by District Attorney Jerome when sentence was about to be 'imposed,, when Mr. Jerome urged the court to pass the longest and heaviest sentence within its power upon Hummel a3 he "had been a menace to the community for 20 years." Justice FiUgerald finally .sustained'an objection to this and Hummel was not compelled to answer.
Mr. Delmas wanted to know If Hummel had any more recent business transactions with the district attorney, and asked if Mr. Jerome was pressing the charges against him.
"He certainly is," said the witness with spirit.
Hummel Tell* of Affidavit. * Hummel's testimony in brief was to
the effect that Evelyn Xesbit told him, among ether things, that Thaw had beaten her when she refused to sign papers he had prepared charging Stanford White .with-her betrayal; that he had dictated a statement to a stenographer in the presence of Miss Nesbit and Stanford White; tha t he gave the affidavit-to two of his clerks to take to Miss Nesbit in the Madison Square Garden tower, and that the next day the paper was,.-returned to hina with Evelyn Nesbit's signature attached. He kept the affidavit UJitij-Misg Nesbit called one day and demanded it. He refused to give it to her and turned it over to Stanford White, advising him to have a photographic copy made. i
Hummel first said he had himself arranged for photographing the affidavit and that the photographer came to his office. A few momenta later, however, he completely contradicted himself on this point, saying he did not make the arrangements; that t he photographer did not come to his office; and that he had not ao testified. After Stanford White had the copy made he returned the original of the affidavit, the photographic negatives and the prints made from the negatives to Hummel, who swore that he subsequently delivered the original affidavit to Mlaa Nesbit and ha* not seen It since.
W i t Signed by Evelyn., Abraham Saydecker, one of Hum
mel's clerks, was called, and said he took the affidavit to Mr. White's rooms in the tower and handed it to the woman pointed.out to him as Miss Nesbit She kept the affidavit for five minutes and signed it, saying she had read it through.
District Attorney Jerome completed his medical testimony during the morning session. Attorney Delmas for the defense declining to cross-examine any of the experts. Five alienists all declared that Thaw on the night he shot and killed Stanford White knew the nature and quality of his act, and ^ncix^t.rmjt the act Was wron^.

Diamonds and jewelry to the value of nearly $25,000, which the custom officials alieged the prisoners had failed to declare, were taken from them. The valuables were confiscated and the men held for extradition.
Though only the charge of smuggling was preferred against the prisoners here, it is stated by the police that they are wanted abroad in connection with a theft of some $35,000 worth of jewelry and precious stones, and the London authorities have been notified. On Wednesday the police received a cablegram from Scotland Yard asking ' that Green and Roher be detained upon their arrival on the Amerika.
Green described himself as a salesman, 31 years old, with a home in this city. The police allege that he has repeatedly been arrested for shoplifting and served three years' imprisonment in Wisconsin.
Rohrer gave the same a£e and occupation, but said that Philadelphia was his home. According to the police he has a record including arrests in Philadelphia and for robbing Miss Evelyn King >\t Atlantic City; and again on March 19, 1898, for robbing Miss Theresa Schwartz on a street in Philadelphia.

A CONFEDERATE CHICK.
Johnny's Reason for Confiscating a Fowl for t h * Union Army.
The year 1864 found » number of lOfrdays' regiments from Iowa down the Mississippi river doing guard duty along the frontiers while Sherman was gathering hi* forces for his march to the sea, says a writer in National Tribune. The Forty-sixth Iowa waa in command of Col. D. B. Hender-
Jmon, of Dubuque, who a few months before had lost a foot at Shiloh as a sergeant of company A, Twelfth iowa. The regimental headquarters was at ColHerrille, Tenu., 25 miles east of Memphis, on the Charleston railroad, while the different companies were scattered up and down the line, This regiment, like many others, waa composed of mete boys, of m?n too old for regular service,, and of those who had seen service in . other regiments and for one cause or another had beer. discharged. The old yets always led iii all army tr icks; having been through the mill they knew the ropes and how to puil them. la July, l&fi-i, a number of boys had been out foraging and sightseeing one day, au<i among other things brought back into canip was a colored boy about 12 years old. He was a very bright little chap, not so very black, well-featured, and appeared to be above the average colored boys seen every day. He said his name was "John Allen, Sir." He was at once adopted as a member of company C, and found a Arm friend la Second Lieut. Joseph W. Cummins. He was willing, ready and anxious to do anything for company C boys, and, as he knew the country Well, having been around there some months, when there was any foraging to be done after he came Johnny was taken along as a guide. On one such occasion the men stopped a t a f ans fcou*e, when a great cry was heard from some of the women folks a t home. !t seem* the darky, who loved chickens like a fox, had been peeping around
„ ^ and spied a big, fat rooster, which he -•>'~ ^ w a 3 trying to capture when the wom
en spied him and mixed in the race. The women were armed with brooms, and there was a procession going iotffid and round the big, red rooster, eager darky in the rear and the women after him screaming a t the top of their lungs, and when they were not screaming, cussing the "nigger." The chase ended with the capture of the bird by Johnny, who kept well out of the way of the women. They appealed to the captain of the squad to have the chicken returned, and John-ay was called up and questioned "It was dis a-way, Cap'n," said Johnny. " L i e u t Cummins tole me dis a-morn-In he was plum sick of hardtack and sowbelly and axed me cou'd'n 1 git him a chlek'n. T don* look under de house a wile ago and it was all dark, but dia rooster he say 'Yb nigger can't get me. get me, get me,' When I h'ar his voice I started under dar, an dis rooster jes up and crow arid . say 'Hurra for Jeff Davis,' and yo's know rial is treason, and so I jes co.tch. him," "Did he say that, Johnny 7" '""Deed be did, Cap'n,! and It made ino so mad.", '"Then 'you were .finite ri^ht .Johnny.

"Let me see what unencumbered collaterals you have?"
The promoter selected them, and was asked to place a value on the lot.
"No," said the iluancier, " I ' won't' make a loan, but i l l buy the lot," '.
The promoter sorrowfully accepted. ••• the terms, but he had hoped for a ican, believing that if he could get the loan, he could follow it up with a demand for a second one to save t h e first. Hut the big banker, knowing his man, saw through the scheme and protected hixuaeli, at the same t ime helping the promoter by taking off h is hands some sound but temporarily un-marketable securities.

Horace Greeley to-day might b e tempted to Amend his advice and suggest to the young man to go south,, says Country Life in America. According to the government reports, t he rice industry has increased marve?ous-ly since 1880.
The number of rice mills has increased 264 per c e n t ; of capital 363 per cent," and value of products 178 per cent. Land on the gulf coast of Texas and ..Louisiana, which 15 years ago sold for 11.60 an acre and was sometimes held at 25 cents, to-day is Worth $12,50, some lands being -worth $30 or $50 an acre.
The use of machinery adapted to rice production, the perfection of Irrigation, the study and application of the Japanese methods of rice growing and the use of the Japanese rice have made rice growing an exceedingly profitable undertaking, and one t h a t will undoubtedly be increasingly lucrative with the rapidly growing population. ••'

Moyle on Whist. Hoyle was the first writer on whist.
His short treatise on the game was issued in 1742, in manuscript, at a guinea ( |5) a copy, and his income was further augmented by deciding "disputed points", at a guinea a decision, and by giving lessons in whist at a guinea each. Cavendish, Clay and Pole elucidate to a limited extent; but book learning in whist, or any other science, doesn't amount to a row of pins, as it Is in matters beyond mere rule that the skill or the analyst is evinced long experience becoming lutultlon. If experienep has the proper sort of gray matter to work upon. "Whist is a langpage, and every card played an Intelligible sentence."

"the play's pretty good, but—" Then he took out the manuscript
and told him to cut it here, slash it there, and obliterate It somewhere else, till little waa leit. The author was flabbergasted.
"But," ,he objected,._"you told me there was something in it,"
"Yes, I know I did," blandly replied the manager, "but it 's got to coma out."
Waxed Paper Handy. So many uses can be made of
waxed paper that it is good economy to save every scrap that comes into the house. Large sheets of this may be saved from cracker boxes and many small cardboard boxes containing candy, seedless raisins and other fruit are lined with a very good quality of waxed paper. This paper is fine for wrapping up lunches. It keeps bread and cake tnoist, it is good to paste over the tops of jelly glasses or ;:ots of ja.n, and, in fact, is so handy that it pays to save every
Brave Lighthouse Keeper. While his plucky wife kept the light
burning in the Cedar Island lighthouse, her husband, compelled by the exhaustion of their food, made a gainful trip over treacherous ice to Sag Harbor, a distance of several miles,
The bay was filled with ice and iu-tense cold prevailed, but nothing daunted he set out on his trip. Several times he broke through the ioe, curt struggled on until he reached the mainland, exhausted. After securing food he set back, the cold having relaxed, and arrived safely.—Boston Herald.

No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are Kick. Foiiona that pass off In the urine when the kinneys are well are retaided in the body when the kidney* are sick. Kidneys and bladder get inflsnted aritf swollen, crowding the delicate fehlate organs nearby uul sometimes displacing them-This is the true cause of many bearing-down pales lameness,, backache, sideacbe, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, txy Doac's Kidney Pills, the remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will gej. better as t i e kidneys get better, and health will return when the kidneys are well.
Mrs. S. Amspoker, of 309 N. Shiawassee street, Owosso, Mich., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are not a new remedy to me, for I used them two or three years ago when from some cause such as a cold or the gripp my kidneys troubled me 1 do not know what I would have done without them as my trouble was steadily growing worse in spite of all the medicing I took. The kidney secretions were irregular and unnatural. I could not rest comfort-rbly nights and always arose tired and worn out mornings. My general was poor and this trouble was a great great drain on me. I had taken so much medicine that I had little confidence in any, but I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. I soon noticed an improvement in my condition and steadily grew better. I cannot speak too highly of this valuable preparation and am glad to recommend it at all times.
