One of Intereet to Our Readers
Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated
to believe it at first hearing, we
feel secure in accepting its truth
now. The following experience of
a Breckenridge woman is confirm
ed after three years:
Mrs. Minnie Lotzer, 118 N. Sev
enth St., Breckenridge, Minn., says
"We used Doan's Kidney Pills in
our family for kidney trouble and
they worked wonders. All the oth
er kidney medicines we had pre
viously used had cone no good.
Doan's Kidney Pills went to the
root of the trouble at once and in
a shoi'i time, the one who used
them was well and has not had
any trouble since".
OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Lotzer said: "I have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills myself f«^r
lame back and kidney weakness
and they have done me a great
deal of good."

SHRAPNEL SHELLS.
Various Typaa In Uca and tha Maaa of
Bullet a They Carry.
Most nations are agreed that the
three Inch shrnpuel is the must effec
tive for killing men In modern war
fare. The three inch type, which is
almost universally used, contains from
210 to 3G0 half Inch lead bullets,
bunched together In the front part of
the shell. A time fuse, which is made
With the accuracy of a watch, is grad
uated in seconds and is set to explode
at a given Wlgc as determined by the
artillerymen.
The velocity of the shell may be
gathered from the fact that it travels
a mile in four seconds and within a
quarter of a minute is four miles from
the mouth of the gun. At any time
during this rapid flight the shell can
be made to explode with marvelous
precision and deadly effectiveness,
driving its bullets in a cone shaped
ahower down on the heads of tbe
enemy.
A remarkable fact regarding these
shells is that the velocity of the bul
lets when tbe shell explodes exceeds
I tbe velocity of the shell at the time
of the explosion by from 250 to 900
feet per second, the bullets of a burst
ing shell covering a cone about thirty
yards wide and 250 yards long.

SENTRIES FOR CHURCHES.
_________
A Custom Forced by Native Feuds In
tha Melanaaian lalanda.
In tbe Melaneslan islands tbe natives
carry on feuds with a more relentless
hatred even than tbe vendettlstes of
Corsica. In these islands Christianity
has been made, at least In outward
aspect, the religion of the people.
That it really does mean something
to tbe Meianesian is evidenced by tbe
reply I received from an intelligent old
chief When I asked him why he did not
become a Christian.
"I'm to be," he said, "when 1 kill the
devil who kill my boy five years ago."
So relentlessly are these feuds car
ried on that It is the custom for a na
tive of wealth with a grievance against
another, but who finds It Impossible or
inexpedient to kill his enemy and se
cure his bead himself, to hire a profes
sional murderer and pay him upon tbe
delivery of tbe head.
Often In the years that are Just gone
Indiscriminate killing went on with
Buch savage persistence that even dur
ing church service "pot shots" were
taken at marked worshipers through
the doors and windows.
The situation became so acute In one
village that the government was peti
tioned, and tbe response was the loan
to tbe missionary of a rifle.
Tbe missionary took the hint and
armed one of his natives who stood
guard outside the church during serv
ices.
And so it became tbe fashion on many
of tbe islands to add a sentry to the
church rolls.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
How to 8hampoo Gray Hair and Keep
It Beautiful.
Don't dye gray hair. It is a never
ending, messy job to keep It touched
up, for most hair grows about an Inch
a month, and, worst or least of all, the
deception rarely deceives any one. The
lines that care and experience and
thought have written into every ma
ture face require the softening effect
of tbe silver tones above it. Dyed hair
has a hardening effect on some faces,
and to others It gives an almost crurl
look.
But once having accepted gray halt
make of it your greatest beauty. It
must be kept spotlessly clean, washed
often. Use only the best and purest
liquid soap, as free from alkali as pos
sible, and treat It as the laundress does
her fine linen. Put it through many
rinsings to get rid of every particle of
soap, tbe last one being quite cool and
deep blue with indigo. Let the halt
rest in this for a few moments, moving
It about in the bath so as to absorb
as tuuch of the bluing as possible, and
then dry It thoroughly wltli warm tow
els and vigorous rubbing. The bluing
serves to soften the dulled, lifeless look
which always results front washing
gray hair and gives uniformity of shad
ing. iftreiiked lock* in gray hair ari
Its worst feature, and especially is thl*
true of blond gray hair.
Rub the scalp then with white vase
line, taking care not to let it get upon
rhe hair, and brush it—brush it vigor
ously night anil morning to give it the?
silvery gleaming that is so beautiful to
well kept gray hair.

A Powerful
Stimulant
By OSCAR COX
"Miss Brown, ef yo' don' mind I like
•o have yo' come take keer o' de chll
len. Ma wife's powerful weak and
can't do nothin' at all. She's goin' to
de hosplttle dis arternoon."
Miss Brown, a colored girl twenty
years of age, said she wouldn't mind
obliging Mr. Jones. It occurred to her
that if Mrs. Jones should die she might
be Mrs. Jones herself. Jones was a
well to do darky on the shady side of
forty and had three pickaninnies. Miss
Brown supported herself by washing
and ironing and thought that if she
could permanently change her occupa
tion to taking care of a family it would
be an advantage.
"When do yo' want me to come. Mr.
Jones?" she inquired.
"Ma wife's gwine to de hosplttle
about 4 o'clock. Reckon yo' mought
some round about half past 4."
"All right, Mr. Jones I'll be dar."
Mrs. Jones was removed in tbe hos
pital ambulance on time, and half an
hour later Miss Brown, who was com
monly called Sue buAer employers,
settled herself down fn*her place. Tbe
children were playing In the street,
and Sue did not disturb them. She
was taking an eye inventory of the
premises and making a mental rear
rangement of the furniture when Mrs.
Jones would be removed from the hos
pital to the cemetery. Mr. Jones, whose
name, stripped of eupiiouy, was simply
Mose, returned from conveying hi*
wife with a solemn countenance to
find that Sue bad prepared a cup of
tea for him and had It set out on tbe
table with a piece of com poue.
"I thought yo'd come home need la'
somepln to brace yo' up, Mr. Jones,"
said the girl.
Her thoughtfulness braced up Most
us much us the refreshments.
"How did yo* leave yo' po' wife?" sha
asked.
"Porely."
"Is she gwine to pull through?"
"Don* know she's powerful sick."
Mrs. Jones lost instead of gained
She was worried about her children,
and Mose found it necessary to tell her
that lie had secured the services of
some one to take care of them. He did
not tell her that be had got young
woman, for he had seen evidences al
ready that she was expecting to step
into his wife's shoes, aud be knew that
this would worry her.
Perhaps it would have gone well
with Sue bad she curbed her Impa
tience. Though Mrs. Jones was report
ed getting weaker every day, she hung
on In a very aggravating way. Sue got
tired asking Mose after his visits to
the hospital how be had found his wife,
hearing only the.- repetition, "Porely,
very porely she's gwine down bill pow
erful fast" So it occurred to the girl
to go to the hospital and ask questions
on her own account. She bought a five
cent posy and. appearing at the hospi
tal door, was received by an attendant.
"Tell Mrs. Jones," she said, offering
the posy, "dat a frlen' ob de family
brought her de flowers and hopes she's
gettin' better."
The attendant took the flowers and
was turning away when Sue asked:
"Mrs. Jones mighty sick?"
"She's very low."
"Not long to lib, I reckon?"
"Not long."

FARM METHODS OF
WINTERING SHEEP
Good shelter and plenty of fresh wa

a
Missouri correspondent of the Farm
Progress.
Give me a good sheep shed, the right
kind of open lots and plenty of fresh
water, and I believe I can winter sheep
easier than any other animal on the
farm. Durlug the month aud a half
of deep snows, cold weather and cold
rains the warm sheep shed has saved
much feed. Give them a warm shed,
and it will not take nearly so much
grain and bay.
I know a good many men who seem
to think that any kind of an old shed is
good enough for their sheep. They will
use an old barn with half the siding
ripped off and the whole interior open
to blowing snow and driving rain.
They are not worried much if the roof
Is full of holes and lets in the water.
That is very bad for the sheep. The
fleeces get soaked through, and It takes
days for them to dry out. As long as
they are wet to the skin the sheep are
in fine shape to come down with an
attack of a sort of bronchitis that kills
as quick as pneumonia.
Last winter I fed a lot of straw.

SHELTER PORT
By IZOLA FORRESTER.
IM II
Ben laughed, lounging in the door
way with the Gordon setter nosing at
hiB hand.
"You'd tuck any one under your
wing, wouldn't you. Aunt Polly, if he
needed it? Old Brookside Farm is a
regular Port of Shelter in time of trou
ble."
The next day he drove down to meet
Aunt Polly's latest waif of chance.
Loving and motherly by nature, with
no child of her own to pet and tend,
she always seemed to be giving out
help to some one.
Her sioter Esther had written to her
about Myrtis Lampton. She had been
brought up in one of the church homes
at Wakefield, the orphaned daughter
of a schoolmate of Esther's.
When she was eighteen, Esther
found her a position at the town li
brary and kept an eye on her, until
the girl had come down in tbe winter
with typhoid fever. She needs loving
and chirking up, that's all."
Ben agreed heartily when he saw
the lone figure get off the Providence
train and come toward him. White
faced she was, with big blue eyes, and
he knew by the way she got into the
carriage she was still weak and shaky.
Through the long summer days she
lay out under the maples in the ham
mock getting stronger slowly. Miss
Calder would sit near in one of the
rustic rockers, reading or sewing, sing
ing softly to herself, and ready with a
smile when Myrtis wakened.
"I'm so useless. Aunt Polly," she
aald one day. "I'm no more good to
you than a weed."
"Some weeds have turned out heal
ing herbs, dearie," answered Aunt Pol
ly happily. "I just dread to think ol
going away," she said to Miss Calder
one day in early August. The latter
looked at her over the tops of her
"Well, I shouldn't If I was you, Myr
tis," she responded, pleasantly. "Why
don't you take the school examination
over here at the crossroads and teach
there. It's twelve a week, and you
could board here If you liked."
"Do you think I'd pass?" she asked
eagerly.
"Of course you would, child. 1
taught there myself years ago when
out here to teach. I'll write to the
school board tomorrow, and you bet
ter let me drive you over there and
face it. I'll coach you up on it."
Ben said nothing when he heard ol
the plan, but he smiled across the
table at Myrtis, and she colored deli
cately.
"When the weather's rough this win
ter Ben can drive over with you," said
Aunt Polly happily, so busy serving
dinner she never noticed what waE
happening right under her nose. "Like
enough you won't be a bit lonesome
out here. Would you rather go back tc
Esther and do library work?"
"Oh, I'd much rather be here with
you," Myrtis exclaimed. "It's home
now."
"Well, Just stay, then, child. We love
to have you. Don't we, Ben?"
"Certainly do," said Hen. "Seems as
If you belonged here new. Aunt Polly
took me when I was a little shaver
after my folks died and brought me
up, and I know how I l.-ve the place."
The letter came the following week
notifying the new teacher of her ap
pointment, and Aunt Polly was, II
anything, more enthusiastic than
Myrtis herself. She went about the
house singing, and Myrtis stole down
to the walk by the brook in the pine
glen Just to think how wonderful life
had turned out for her. It was so good
Just to be wanted and loved after one
had been a wait on the waves of
chance and circumstance.
The hemlock branches cracked on
the slope above where she sat. Ben
called hello to her.
"Have you seen the black calf any*
where?"
"Not down here."
"I've been hunting it for an hour,"
he declared without a qualm. He
Bwung down the sl:pe and landed on
the rocks Just below her. "Don't ycu
love this place? I used to come here
when I was a little fel'ow and listen
to the water as It brcke over the rocks,
I'm glad you're gcing to stay."
"It's dear of Aunt Polly to let me.
It's all her dcing. She Just shows you
the right way to go somehow and
makes it seem easy. I was afraid to
face the winter alone."
"You wouldn't have had tc," Ben
blurted out. "I wasn't going to let
you go away." He stopped and looked
up at her as she sat on the bank, ferns
and pine needles around her. "I'd have
told you right straight cff. Now, I sup
pose I ought to wait till spring.''
Myrtis was silent. Her chin leaning
on her hand, she looked down at the
brook, afraid to meet the big boy's
eyes.
"It's natural for you to stay here,"
he went on. "The place will be mine
some day, and Aunt Polly loves you.
You can teach this winter if you want
to, but the minute you get tired, Myr
tis, I want you to quit, and I've got
mother's wedding ring she gave me
when she died, and told me some day
it would be for the girl I loved best.
Myrtis, can't you say anything at all
to me?"
She met his eyes with tear-filled
ones, and held out her hands to him,
whispering: "I'm so glad, Ben."

She ran down to the end of the
lano when she caught sight of the
little white mail cart coming up the
hill. The Match air was fresh and
keen, with a hint of spring.
"Got a letter from New York state
for you. Sue," said the old mail
ear
ner, comfortably.
Sue colored a little and laughed.
He jogged on along the country
road, and Sue sat on the stone w»U
beside the mail box to read her letter.
It was an answer to her advertise*
ment.
"Dear Madam: "While I have not
had years of experience in farm work,
I should like to apply for the position
you offer. Am fond of horses and all
animals, was brought up on a farm

"Hopefully yours,
"BART WILLIS."
"I think you're taking a fearful risk
sn your shoulders. Sue," her mother
said after she had heard the letter.
'\ou could hire the farm work done
"I won't do that this year, motjter
dear. Last spring we tried it, and it
was a perfect frost."
Accordingly, Spring Valley had a
thrill the end of the week when a tall,
determined-looking young man swung
off the early boat train with a suit
case and asked the way to the Loomis
farm.
Old Mrs. Loomis saw him from the
sitting-room window and went out to
greet him. As she said later to Sue.
she Just couldn't help taking to him
right away.
"You'll have to suit Sue more than
aie," said Mrs. Loomis. "I'm sure I
like the look of you real well."
Suiting Sue was a curious occupa
tion, Bart found out. She liked Mm
it first sight, the same as her mother
lad, but she had no intention of let
ting him know the fact.
The first day of his arrival she led
lim all over the forty-seven acres. He
'ound that day by day she was beside
aim when he least expected to see
ler, advising, correcting and consult
ng with him.
"You see, I love the land and I want
:o build it up," she tcld him. "Father
lust took and took from it year after
rear and wondered why it didn't
sear for him, but I'm running it dif
ferently. I never liked tlie house,
.hough. It's so bare and lonesome
ooking."
'"Perhaps toward fall there'll be time
0 do something with it," Bart said.
'You can do wonders with cement
ind paint and ideas."
"But—" Sue hesitated. "I thought
—you only said you'd stay until the
summer's work was done."
"I like it here," the city boy an
swered briefly, lifting his head to the
tun and air and beauty of it all like
he horses, Bess and Ready, out in the
)asture. "I'll stay as long as I suit
'oil. Miss Loomis."
Under his cara the old farm seemed
:o put forth Us very best efforts to
nake good. There had never been
luch a garden crop, even Mrs. Loomla
laid.
"Don't it seem good to have a man
iround?" Mrs. Loomis said to her one
3ar!y morning as Sue cooked break
fast. "It'll be right lonesome when
le's gone."
Her own heart echoed the words,
Jut Sue laughed. Wasn't she the man
iround the place? They wouldn't need
iny assistant manager after the crops
were harvested and fall had come.
She hurried out of doors and down
the lane with food for the turkeys,
md met him half way with the milk
pail3.
"The land glows this morning,
ioesn't it?" he called to her happily.
'I was slow because 1 went over to

Uim at the stretch of home acres.
"It's such a bully little place if it's
treated right. I've been planning
jome new things for next year—"
Sue looked up at him quickly, her
ayes full of surprised acknowledgment
of what his words meant to her.
I thought sure you'd go to the
dairy fara. They want you and they
can pay fcur times as much as I can
down there."
"No, they can't Sue." His voice
lowered until it seemed to her the
whole world must hold its breath to
catch what he was telling her. "I
want to go shares on the farm here
with you. I've got some money saved,
