? For months Alaska readers have seen
the constant expression of praise for
Doan's Kidney Pill?, and read about
the good work they have done in this
locality. Sot another remedy ever pro
duced such convincing proof of merit.
~J. W. Strong, a retire! veteran of 5c6
Ohio Street. lSellicgham, Wash,, says:
' Up to three years ago I hid Dever
suffered any form of kiuaey complaint.
Abaut that time I moved up the Colum
bia river to Whatccm Lake and three
months after locating there I began to
notice sjmptocs of kidney trouble.
The first was a dull achiog pain across
th9 back and which finally got so bad
that I was unable to get out of the house
at all. Changes of positions were a com
panies with severe twinges of pain and
the kidney secretions were dark in color,
and *conta;ned a heavy sediment and
passing was accompanied with pjin. 1
think all this trouble was broitvht-on b>
drinking impure water while living a'
Whatcom Lake. However true tha
may be I procured a box of Doan';
Kidney Pills, took tneui according U
directions and was completely cured ol
my trouble. Abotjt a month ago I ha
a severe attack of the grip an.
was afraid this would bring on kWnev
trouble again but there ha* been m
symptom of a recurrence. 1 am satisfi
ed that the cure is permanent."

Reading n Telegram.
There are two members of the racing
fraternity, both anient horse owners,
whose early education was sadly neg
lected, and neither can read. l!oth
conceal to the bout of their ability their
shortcomings in this regard. One of
theui received a telegram the other
day, but he could not read It and did
not wish to expose his Ignorance, lie
met the second horseman, and as he
was looking anything but pleasant he
leas accosted with:
"What's the matter? You look like
trouble."
"Trouble? Sure. Just road that."
And he thrust the telegram into his
friend's hands.
"Well, I should say It was trouble!"
was the unexpected rejffy. "I'm sorry
for you, old fellow." And the tele
gram was handed back, neither being
any wiser as to its contents.
At this juncture a stable boy came
whistling along, and the recipient of
the message hailed him with a Jocular
remark and after quizzing him awhile
said:
"I'll bet you can't read, son."
"Huh, that's where you're way off!
1 kin read as good as you kin."
"Well, let's hear you read that. If
you can it's a two bit piece for you."
The harmless telegram was read, and
now both of the men are wondering
what the other meant by saying the
message denoted trouble.? San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
The Duty of a Gentleman.
On another occasion, having return
ed from playing poker at the club, my
grandfather said:
"When u man is hard up he should
borrow, but he must devote his ener
gies to paying back and remaining the
equal of the man from whom he has
borrowed. If he cauuot pay back, let
him be frank about It, for It is better
to steal than to cheat."
And again:
"To ride straight and to shoot
straight, to win uiouey cheerfully and
to lose it cheerfully, never to be boor
ishly in debt or swinishly drunk, to en
Joy flowers and music, and if possible
to be In love with at least one good
woman, is half the duty of a gentle
man."
"What's the other half, grandpa?"
I had asked him.
"Why, to be a gentleman, of course."
? Gouverncur Morris in Header Maga
zine.
A Variation With n His DifTerenee.
"Yes, he used to be in t ho newspaper
business, but he's studying for the min
istry now. lie says he decided that he
couldn't be a reporter and save his
soul."
"Indeed? I believe his old city editor
put It differently, lie says he couldn't
be a reporter to save his soul."? Ex
change.
Improving tlie Mountain*.
The cockney who said he valued
Switzerland tor its mountain hair has
a supporter in a writer lu the Irish In
dependent, who remarks, "There are
many mountains in the country now
bare and desolatewhose brows If whisk
ered with forests would present a strik
ing appearance."? London Punch.
Wanted the LcrqI View.
"Of course you know how many min
utes there are to an hour," said a
lawyer to a witness in an English
court.
"Well," said the witness after pon
dering for awhile, "let's hear your ver
sion of it"
A true man never frets about his
place in the world, but Just slides Into
It by the gravitation of his nature and
swings there as easily as a star.?
