M-s. Alonzo Stevens, 3220 Broad
way, Everett, Wash., says: "I had
a terrible, heavy pain across the
small of my back and I was unable
to rest nights on account of the
puius through my loins. Often,
when I straightened after stooping,
sharp pains darted through me. I
was extremely nervous and was
bo'.her°' by irregular action of my
kidneys. I doctored, but got no
permanent relief, and finally I de
cided to try Doan's Kidney Pills. Af
ter I had used several boxes, these
ailments left me and now I am in
good health."

REPRESENTATIVE TELLS
OF EASTERN SENTIMENT
j Ruby, June: A private letter was
received yesterday from Represents
tive C. K. Snow, who wroto May
115, at his old home at Alliance,
Neb., from which he had been absen
seventeen months.
Mr. Snow had just returned from
a big cattle round-up, made for the
purpose of dipping cattle to eradi
cate what is known and would be
called the mange in Alaska. When
evarvthing was readv the State in
spector sent out a deputy in the
oerson of a youth just out of
school, who superintended the dip
ping and certified that it was scien
tifically done. In Nebraska they
have developed many new wrinkles
iu connection with the live stock
business since Mr. Snow served
hl3 apprenticeship as a broncho
buster and he is sure to bring the
lates* scientific Cope with him when
ho returns to. Alaska.
In Juneau the doctors advised
Mr. Snow to confino himself to a
milt diet for some time, and he
was following directions with satis
faction and good results. The ruedi
cal men said the milk was neces
sary to peutrulizo the poison de
posited iu his system through year
o' liylng on typical Alaskan fare.
"1 think the fact that Alaska is
going to vote on the liquor ques
tion in 1916 was the greatest sur
prise and caused more comment
throughout the country than any
thing else done by the legislature,"
ha writes, " and every comment I
have heard or read in any paper
has been a boost for the people of
Alaska, even by parties and papers
that are oppost-d to prohibition.
Above all things it has shown that
Alaska is alivt to the times and

The Amateur as Bootmaker.
In the early days when Tolstoy adopt
Hl manual labor as a religious duty he
took lessons in bootmaking to occupy
liiin during the long winter evenings.
Ho was at work diligently hammering
the wooden pegs into the red sole, an
art ho had Just mastered, says the
"Reminiscences of Tolstoy," by his son,
when l"rlnco Obolenskl came In.
"Look, Isn't that grand?" said my fa
ther exultantly, holdiug out his work
for tho visitor to sec.
"It doesn't seem so very difficult,"
said Obolenskl, half In Joke.
"Well, you try!"
"Right you arc!"
"Very good, but on one condition—
every peg you drive in I'll pay you a
rouble, and every one you break you'll
pay ine 10 copecks. Agreed?"
Obolenskl took the boot, awl and
hammer and broke eight pegs, one aft
er the other; then ho laughed with his
good humored laugh and amid general
hilarity paid SO copecks, which went to
the shoemaker.
Lawrence Barrott's Romeo.
Irving contributed to the gayety of
a supper a story about Lawrence Bar
rett One night Itarrett and his old
friend, Edwin Booth, met at their club
In New York. Barrett, after a brief
greeting, bustled toward tlie door with
every appearance of remembering a
pressing engagement.
"Halloa! Where are you off to?"
Booth asked.
"To a rehearsal," said Barrett
"What's tlie play?"
Barrett said it was "Romeo and Ju
liet."
"And what part do you take?" Booth
asked in sudden access of interest
"There is only one part for me lu the
play." Barrett said, drawing himself
up in lofty indignation.
"Oh. ah, yes," said Booth; "1 know—
the nurse!"
The angered tragedian stood forth in
haughty silence and did not speak to
Booth for two days.—Strand Magazine.
The Caged Emperor.
After Elba Napoleon became a bogey
to the whole world as well as to tho
British government, which had the
guarding of him. "Lord Bathnrst be
lieved." says Norwood Young in "Na
poleon In Exile: St. Helena (1815
1S-1»," "that I\apoleon spent his time
in coneoci'ng plans for escape." But,
said the outlaw to O'Meara, "Where
oonhl 1 go to. allowing that 1 got out
of tho island? Every place I could
arrive at 1 would find enemies to seize
me." Tills panicky dread of Napo
leon's escape from St. Helena led to
England's annexation of the uninhab
ited island of Ascension, 700 miles dis
tant The even more distant island
of Tristan d'Acunha was similarly
taken possession of (he following year,
because it was thought to bo too dan
gerously near the Napoleonic Influ
ence.
Thrifty Turk*.
The Turk is invariably n brave man
when he is in a subordinate capacity.
Directly, however, he becomes one hav
ing authority lie turns to peculation.
There is a true story of a Turkish war
ship which had a wooden propeller
shaft, her captain having sold tho orig
inal shaft at scrap iron prices. There
is also the story, equally true, of a bat
tleship laid down many years ago
which, when iii irlv ready for launch
ing. had her construction suspended
for lack of funds. A few years later
the kaiser, in his capacity of the friend
of Islam, having arranged a German
loan, it was decided to complete the
ship. But when they came to look for
her no trace remained. Everything
had been stolen.—London Mirror.

Piaro nrd Violin.
It Is undoubtedly true that between
the pin no and the violin the latter is
tlie harder Instrument to master. The
piano is niui'h n;nre of a machine than
the violin, and its technique as com
pared with that »f the violin is very
much easier to get hold of. Tho most
human of all instruments, the violin is
almost boundless in its demands upon
the skill of the performer.—New York
