tumorous department.
Just So-They're On the Way.?They
were a simple looking couple, well past
middle age, and they had just boarded
a train at a little station in Michigan.
The good old lady had deposited her
wraps in the seat and was looking out
the window at the sleepy village, with
its one wide muddy street. It was evident
that she was full of emotion.
"Are you sure we have everything,
John?" she asked, turning suddenly to
her husband.
"Yep," he replied; "I guess we're
all set."
He sank into the seat beside her and
the train began to move.
"John," the good old lady exclaimed,
"John, this train ain't goin* the right
way, is it? I can't make it seem as
though we're movin" in the right direction."
"Don't worry," replied John, glancing
out the window; "what difference
does it make which way we're movin'
* as long, as we're movin'?"?Chicago
Record-Herald.
His Only Thouflht.?Horace Trumbauer,
the Philadelphia architect, who
1 - nor.nvoaiienM th? architect of the
millionaire, said, at the annual outing
of the Associated Architectural societies
at Englewood:
"The palaces of our millionaires are
undoubtedly the most beautiful in the
world. The American millionaire has,
as a rule, an esthetic sense. He isn't
like Cashley, of Chllllclothe.
"Cashley, last winter, visited the Riviera.
Arriving at the Palace hotel,
in Nice, he said to the clerk:
" 'Gimme the dearest room in the
house, young feller."
" 'Yes, sir," said the clerk. 'And
would you prefer, sir, a sea view or a
mountain view?a view of the Mediterranean,
or a view of the Maritime
Alpsr
" 'Oh, I don't care nothin' about
that,' said Cashley. "The dearest room
in the house, young feller?that's what
I want."?St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Method in Madness.?A man gave
$1 to Frank and $1 to Herman.
At the end of a week the philan,
thropist asked Frank how he had disposed
of his fortune.
"I gave a quarter to me brother, a
quarter to me sister, and kep' the fifty
meself."
Came Herman's turn to explain. He
did, as follows:
"I changed the dollar into halves,
then into quarters, then into dimes,
then into nickels, then into pennies?
and now I'm chaingin* the pennies
back again into the dollar.''
"Well, well!" the man exclaimed in
surprise; "how foolish that is!"
"Foolishness nothing." Herman replied
disgustedly. "One of these days
somebody's goin' to make a mistake?
and it won't be me."?New York Tribune.
A Strong Man's Job.?Some time
ago a colored man applied for work at
a building operation and was taken
on. The first duty assigned him was
carrying planks from one corner to
another The planks weighed a whole
lot more than a heavy conscience, and
as the colored man wearily trudged
along he became exceedingly thoughtful.
"Look heah, boss," he remarked, finally,
going over to the foreman, "did
I tell yo' what mah name was when 1
started in to wo'k?"
"Why, yes," answered the foreman,
wonderlngly. "You said it was Thompson."
"Dat's Jes* what I did, boss. Dat's
Jes' what I did," was the smiling reJoinder
of the colored party. "But I
was afraid dat yo' done gone made a
mistake an' fink it was Samson."?
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Obliging.?A teacher in a tenement
district hurried from the school to find
the mother of a pupil who had been
taken ill
"Can you show me where Mrs. Angelo
Scandale lives?" she inquired of
a cherub transplanted from the sunny
south to a dark, sunless alley.
"Yes, teach', I show you," and a willing
sticky hand dragged her on with
such speed as to make her stumble
over an Italian dame seated on the
threshold.
After the teacher's breathless flight
toward the clouds the little hand
stopped tugging.
"There where Mees Scandale live,"
indicated the horizontal arm and finger,
"but she downstair sitting on
the step," finished the smiling lips.?
New York Globe.
Justifiable Kisses.?Here is one that
was told by Congressman George E.
Gorman, of Illinois, the other afternoon
when the talk topic turned to
humorous situations in a court room.
One day a young man was haled
into court for stealing kisses from a
pretty girl, and eventually the fair one
was put on the stand to tell her story.
"I understand you to say," said the
lawyer for the young man in crossexamination,
"that the defendant here
kissed you against your will."
"Yes, sir, was the prompt and
blushing' reply of the fair girl, "and
he kissed me more than once, too."
"I see," calmly returned the legal
light. "And is it not true that you
also kissed the defendant?"
"Yes, sir," admitted the pretty one,
"but I did it in self-defense."?Ex.
<tir The judge summoned Raftery.
"Young man," he said, "you have been
asking those jurors questions. "Who
has been informing you?"
"I can't tell you, judge," Raftery replied.
"It wouldn't be right to the Juror.
He didn't know he was talking
to a reporter."
"But you asked him questions," said
the judge heatedly.
"Not questions, judge," soothed
Rafiery. "I only asked him one question?just
one?but I asked that one
frequently."
"What was that question?" demanded
the Judge.
"Why," Raftery replied, "my ques- I
tion was: 'What will you have to
drink?'"
First Aid to the Teacher.?Little '
Tommy had spent his first day at |
school. j
"What did you learn?" he was ask- s
ed on his return home.
"Didn't learn nothin'."
"Well, what did you do?"
"Didn't do nothin'! A woman wanted
to- know how to spell 'cat,' and I {
told her." i

FIRM FOUNDATION
Nothing Can Undermina It in York*
ville.
People are sometimes slow to recognize
true merit, and they cannot be
blamed, for so many have been humbugged
in the past. The experience of
hundreds of Yorkville residents, expressed
publicly through newspapers
| and other sources, places Doan's Kidney
Pills on a firm foundation here.
Mrs. L. J. Ramsey, Charlotte St.,
Yorkville, S. C., says: "I had dizzy and
nervous spells and my back and head
ached. Finally, I used Doan's Kidney
Pills, which I got at the York Drug
Store, and they soon made me well.
One of my children was unable to control
the kidney secretions and this
weakness caused great annoyance.
Doan's Kidney Pills also brought relief
In that case and proved so beneficial
In every way that we don't hesitate
to recommend them. They are
safe and reliable for anyone to use."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy?get
Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that
