BED-BOUND FOR MONTHS.
Hope Abandoned After Physicians'
Consultation.
Mrs. Enos Shearer, Yew and Wash
ington Sts., Centralia, Wash., says:
“For years I was
weak and run down,
could not sleep, my
limbs swelled and
the secretions were
troublesome; pains
were intense. I was
fast in bed for four
months. Three doc
tors said there was
no cure for me, and I was given up
to die. Being urged, I used Doan's
Kidney Pills. Soon I was better, and
in a few weeks was about the house,
well and strong again.”

ONE ON THE DOCTOR.
Bt. Peter's Query Decided Reflection
on Medical Attendant.
Dr. Arthur T. Holbrook told a story
on his profession.
“A man by the name of Evans died,”
he said, “and went to heaven, of
course. When he arrived at the pearly
gates he said to St. Peter:
“ ‘Well, I’m here.'
"St. Peter looked at him and asked
his name. ‘John Evans,’ was the reply.
“St. Peter looked through his book,
and shook hfs head.
“ ‘You don't belong here,’ he said,
pointing to the exit.
“ ‘But I am sure I belong here,' said
the man.
“ ‘Wait a minute,’ said St. Peter.
“He looked again and in the back
of the book found his name.
“ ‘Sure,’ said the guardian of the
gate, ‘you belong here. But you was
n’t expected for 20 years. Who's your
doctor?’ ”—Milwaukee Free Press.
For'and Against.
A Philadelphia lawyer, retained at
counsel for the defense in a murder
trial, tells of the difficulties in getting
together a jury.
"Counsel were endeavoring,” says
this lawyer, "to elicit from the various
prospective jurors their views con
cerning the death penalty.
“One man to whom the question was
put, ‘Are you against the infliction of
the death penalty?’ replied, ‘No, sir.’
“‘What is your business?’ he was
asked. ‘I am a butcher,’ he replied.
“When the same question was put
to the next man he answered that he
was against the death penalty.
“‘What is your business?’
” ‘Life insurance,’ said he.”
Knew Him.
"William,” said the head of the
Arm, looking at his watch, “I have
business out of town this afternoon
and may be detained several hours.
If anybody should call—”
“Ther ain't no ball game to-day, Mr.
Spoteash,” interrupted the office boy.
“I said nothing about ball games,
William,” rejoined his employer, eying
him sternly. “However, my business
is such that it can wait until some
other day. That will be all just now,
William.”
Dinner Time.
He—You know we can live on bread
and cheese and kisses.
She—Yes, and when shall we be
married?
"At high noon.”
“Well, you’d better get busy and
get a supply of bread and cheese.”—

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.
A physician of Wash., D. C., says of
his coffee experience:
“For years I suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes I was
almost frantic. I was sallow, consti
pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem
ory was poor, I trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
“My wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. I tried many
times to do so, but was its slave.
“Finally Wife bought a package of
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and I was disgusted with the taste.
(I make this emphatic because I fear
many others have had the same expe
rience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the di
rections, made it right, boiled it full
15 minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar, I
liked it—it invigorated and seemed to
nourish me.
“This was about a year ago. Now I
have no headaches, am not sallow,
leeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady.
1 have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a
new man.
"1 do not hesitate to give Postum
iue credit. Of course dropping coffee
.as the main thing, but I had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
“Postum not only seemed to act as
an invlgorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This i^no
imaginary tale. It can be substanti
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 70.
“I write this for the information and
encouragement of others, and with a
feeling of gratitude to the inventor of
°ostum.”

Steamboats for Sale.
It Is pobable that before the present
summer is over Little Rock will be
represented In the Arkansas riv^r
traffic by a boat of more than ordinary
tonnage capacity. This view of the
situation was expressed Thursday by
a Little Rock business man who will
invest in the proposed river undertak
ing.
Little Rock can buy at once a boat
that is all ready for traffic One boat
can be purchased for $10,000 cash and
the other for $6,000 cash. The $6,000
boat, is is explained, is In the control
of Kentucky capitalists and the $10,
000 boat is owne dby Florida people.
"It has been demonstrated,” said
the business man, “that the Arkansas
river is navigable in midsummer at or
dinary water stages, from the mouth
to Muskogee. The trip of the City of
Muskogee up the river a little more
than a week ago proves the fact. The
trip of this boat up the river has
given an impetus to the importance of
Littla Rock’s getting into the river

Dr. Horace Rice, city meat and milk
inspector, accompanied by a special

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
I _
Boys’ Fervent Prayer Was Answered
in the Nick of Time.
A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. It chanced
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filled up, to the great de
light of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that it threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
having a proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be
ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits of
the plumber, he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
“O, Lord, please stop ^his water
running! And, O, Lord, if you can’t
do it, please send somebody that can!”
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.
ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
—Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura.
‘One day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn’t think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. I purchased a box of Cuti
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night I took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
' every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don
