Women a? Well as Men Are Made
Miserable by Kidney and
Bladder Tronble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the raiiid,
discourages and lessens ambition; beauty,
t vigor and cheerfulness
soon disappear
when the kidneys are
out of order or disKianey
trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys the
child urinates too often, if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting,
depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty
is kidney trouble, and the first
eVi/vnM Ka towards the treatment of
?>WVr?T
t these important organs. This unpleasant
1 trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as inen are made miserable
with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

FAILS TO DELIGHT MRS. B.
Troubles Ensue?Its Disgusted Owner
Descends to Cellar and Makes
Kindling Wood of It.
[Copyright, 1903, by McClure, Phillips & Co.]
AT 3 o'clock the other afternoon as I
Mrs. Bowser was getting ready j
to go downtown and do a llr
k tie shopping Mr. Bowser made
his appearance. If there hadn't been a
smile on his face she would have been
frightened. As it was, she started back
and exclaimed:
"What! You home at this hour! I
hope there is nothing wrong?"
' Nothing wrong, my dear," he replied.
"Is business slack at the office?"
"Not so very, but I Jiad reason for
wanting to come home at this hour.
I'll have a surprise here for you directly."
"What kind of a surprise?" she cautiously
inquired.
"The other night yod were saying
that you wanted to get rid of that
three-quarter bedstead in the spare
room and get a full size in its place."
44And you've gone and bought one?"
"That's the surprise, my dear."
"But?but I wish you hadn't. I saw
a brass bedstead yesterday that just
WITH A BEDSTEAD AS BIG AS A BILLBOAED.
suited me. and I was going down today
to ask the price of it. Where did
you buy it?"
Just Happened Along:.
"Well, I happened along to where an
auction was in full blast, and I stepped
in for a minute. This bedstead was
going so cheap that I bid and got it.
What are you putting on such a long
face about?"
"1?1 wish you hadn't. I don't want
a bedstead bought at auction. Is it all
brass?"
"All brass! No; it's all wood. It's
just the finest piece of mahogany you
ever saw, and there's a history attached
to it. There it comes now."
. /
An express -wagon and two men came
driving up to the house with a bedstead
as big as a billboard. To get
the head and foot boards out and into
the house Mr. Bowser had to tawe hold
with the two men, and when the pieces
were leaned up against the wall ih the
back parlor they looked like the sides
of a house. Mrs. Bowser was upstairs
cryihg while the unloading was going ;
on. When it was finished Mr. Bowser
called her down and said*
"You talk about bedsteads, but if I
haven't got something here to make all I
the neighbors turn green I'll eat my
hat. Think of the mahogany in it when
it takes two men to lift either piece!
That wood will take a polish so you
can use ft as a mirror. While the bedstead
is now fully 200 years old, it will
last hundreds of years longer. Any
furniture man will tell you that it is
worth all of $150 as a piece of furniture.
to say nothing of the sentiment
connected with it. but how much do
you suppose I paid for it?"
"I am sorry that you ever paid 2
cents for it," she replied as she choked
back a sob.
"What's that? Are ycu kicking alj
ready? By thundgr, but I might have
! known it would be so! Ilere I go and
^ buy a bedstead worth $150 for $15, aud
you are shedding tears over it!"
; "But it's a?a wooden bedstead."
! "And what of that? Hasn't every
*j king and queen in Europe slept on a
I wooden bedstead? You have read
' about Charlemagne, I presume? Well,
j Charlemagne gave this bedstead to
j Marie Antoinette for a bridal gift
| when she married what's-his-name.
! Marie slept on this bed for fifteen
j years. She was sleeping on it the niglit
I before she was taken out and thrown
| over a precipice. All this, and yet you
| kick."
j History Somewhat Mixed.
Mr. Bowser had his historic facts
i somewhat mixed up, but be was very
j much in earnest in his admiration of
! the souvenir.
! "Weil, are you going to grouch
i around all day or are you going tr>
j praise me for finding such a bargain? '
be- finally asked.
"1 thought you understood that evi
j*
erybody haxl iron or brass bedsteads
these days," replied Mrs. Bowser.
"But did Charlemagne have an iron
or brass bedstead?"
"They were not made in those days."
"Did Marie Antoinette sleep on an
iron or brass bedstead?"
"Probably not, but I wish she had to
sleep on this old thing now. How on
earth are you ever going to get it upstairs?
Even when you get it up there
it will take up all the room in the bedroom."
"Don't you worry about those trifles.
My idea is that in buying furniture we
might as well buy something of hisT^
T l-i o /I m r\i*a mAtiDT*
IUJL1U lUlVt C3l< XJL i. u liau wvib iiiuuv j
with me today, I should have bought a
bureau belonging to Queen Elizabeth."
"I wish 3"ou hadn't had enough to
buy this bedstead. If I'd known you
were going to do such a thing, I'd have
bought a brass one yesterday out of
my own money. If any secondhand
man would buy it"?
He Is Obdnrate.
"What! Sell this Marie Antoinette
j bedstead to a secondhand man? Never!
His touch would be pollution. No
secondhand man should have it for
$200."
"But no one would give you even a
j dollar. There is no sale whatever for
! wooden beds."
| "But I'm telling you that this was
Marie Antoinette's bedstead!" shouted
Mr. Bowser as his anger began to rise.
"And who cares for that?" retorted
Mrs. Bowser.
"Look here, woman, my name is
| Bowser. I am at the head of this
house. I run things. I discover that we
want to throw out a three-quarter bedstead
and replace it by a full size. I
drop into an auction room and find a
historic piece of furniture worth $200
j going for $15 and send it home. You
kick. You even tell me that I couldn't
sell it again for a dollar."
"And neither can you. You have just
thrown away $15, and $15 more put
with it would have bought the bedstead
I wanted."
Mr. Bowser walked down the hall
and put on his hat and overcoat.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"Down to the nearest furniture store
to sell this bedstead for $25. You can
get a brass bedstead on which Captain
Kidd has slept if you want to."
After a walk of two blocks he turned
into a furniture store and said to the
proprietor: J
"I've got a mahogany bedstead up at
the house that Marie Antoinette used ]
to sleep on. It's worth every cent of
$200, but you can have it for $25."
"I wouldn't give you 25 cents," was
the repl^
"Do you mean that?"
"Certainly. If you have got a furnace
in your house, you had better
split the bedstead up for firewood."
"But it once belonged to Marie Antoinette."
"Or your grandmother!"
Mr. Bowser glared at him and wanted
to call him a sordid minded wretch,
but, choking back his temper, he walked
out and along to the establishment
of a secondhand dealer.
"I have got a wooden bedstead"? he
began, but got no further when the
dealer interrupted him with:
'fThen keep it."
"But it's a mahogany bedstead."
I " "Might as well be pine."
"And it once belonged to Marie Antoinette."
P A r> f-V> rvnvr Til rlrottt if

away from your house for $3, but not
a cent cheaper."
Mr. Bowser was red in the face when
he passed out and along to another
shop, and there was a menace in his
voice as he asked:
"Do you want to buy a mahogany
bedstead?"
"Not on your life!"
"Why not?"
"For the same reason that-1 don't
want to buy any last year's cabbage
heads."
"Will you take it and draw it away?'
"Not much. You might try a woodyard
man."
Mrs. Bowser was upstairs crying
again when Mr. Bowser returned. She
heard him clattering down the cellar
stairs and clattering up again. Then
came a war whoop and blows of the
ax. Whoop followed whoop and blow
followed blow, and she gave him fifteen
minutes before coming down. She
found him standing amid the wreck
and ruin of that Marie Antoinette bedstead,
and the look on his face was
fairly fiendish. They looked at each
other for a minute, and then he dropped
the ax and folded his arms and
said:
"Well, madam, I hope you are satisfied
now!" M. QUAD.
