ijil miles above there. About one-third
I of the L'.-i.ono.iMMi feet is in the Mclndoes

ilargelv on the Fifteen Mile falls, and it
I would seem to be an impossibility to

whenever the river breaks up. If the

BLOCKADED.
Every Household in Brattleboro Should
Know How to Resist It.
The back aches because the kidneys
are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Poan 's Kidney
Pills do this.
It 's the best proof, for it comes from
Brattleboro.
Chiirles G. Endlich, painter, 5 Main
street, Brattleboro, Vt., says: "I know
that Bonn's Kidney Pills are an excel
lent remedy as they have been used in
my family with satisfactory results. A
member of the household wns troubled
for months with pains through the loins
and headaches. Colds aggravated the
trouble. A friend finally advised a trial
of Doan's Kidney Pills, and a box wns
procured at Holden 's drug store. They
proved to be just what was needed and
proved of great benefit in every way."
(Statement given Oct. 12, 1905.)
A Later Endorsement.
On July 6, 1911, Mr. Endlich was in
terviewed and he said: "All that I said
in praise of Doan's.Kidney Pills some
years ago still holds good. Yrou may
continue to publish my testimonial."

To the one just over tlie way:

As he passed along today,
And last week, up by a beautiful doll,
A sled was hanging high
For that bad little boy. I'm tired to

Said the other tree. "So am 1."
Said the Chri-tnias tree by the old hack
fence
To the one just over the way:
"A little girl that 1 gave a ring
Came by, and I heard her say.
'You ugly oi l tree, who cares for you?"
And she made up a face so wry
I wouldn't believe folks could so forget."
Said tl(e other tree, "Nor did I."
Said the Christinas tree by the old back
fence
To the one just over the way :
it's hard to die so far from home,
Hut I guess we've had cur day,
And the children maybe m years to come
W ill think of us with a sigh
And the joy it gave. I am reconciled."
Said the other tree. "So am I."
