V flu!' Over=Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood, All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, ‘ but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble.

They wanted a lirst class chemist; they were about to conduct extensive experiments. Rupert I’ratt had been highly recommended by east ern experts, and they engaged him. It was au excellent situation, with a line salary and the certainty of liberal re wards if the experiments he was con ducting turned out winners. He liked his position, be liked the city, and yet he was lonely. Rupert I’ratt was slow at making friends. He had never overcome a nat ural shyness. In all his school career he possessed but one strong friend. They had parted the day after they took their degrees. If Tracy Grant had remained with Rupert, under the same roof, sharing his thoughts and aspira tions, it would have been different. Rut when Tracy left him Rupert slip ped back into his hermit ways, lie studied, he experimented, he took long walks and rides. Rut lie made no friends, and his heart hungered for hu man companionship. Early in November he had occasion to visit the east end. One of the offi cers of the company was convalescing from a long Illness and had expressed a desire to hear the bright young chemist describe to him the results of certain important experiments he had been conducting. Roger boarded the Euclid car at Erie street late in tlie afternoon and found it pretty well lilled. He took a seat about tlie middle of the car and, drawing a letter from his pocket, pe rused it with great interest. It was from Tracy Grant, from Hongkong, where Tracy had secured, through tlie inti nonce of English friends, a position as manager of an exporting house. It was a bright, cheery letter, and it did Rupert good. “Let me know when you finally set tle down,” the writer said. "You tell me you have an excellent offer from the west. Have you accepted it? And where is it? You don’t write half enough about yourself, dear boy. 1 particularly want to know where you are going, because my little sister has just finished college and is to reside with our aunt, and it is possible that you will become acquainted, a consum mation devoutly to be wished.” The car stopped, and Roger was aware that a young woman had come aboard. He looked up and found she was standing in the aisle beside him. It was only a hasty glance that he gave her. hut ho was aware that she pos sessed a face that was strongly attract ive and that her eyes were perhaps the tenderest and the brightest he had ever seen. He crumpled up his letter and, quickly rising, offered her his seat. Site accepted it with thanks. A mo ment later she had deftly crowded up the two women who occupied the seat and made room for Rupert. As she pointed to the vacant place he noticed that she looked at him a little curious ly. It was a ladylike scrutiny, but Rupert found it confusing. A moment later the conductor came up the aisle. Rupert hastily felt in Ids pocket and passed out a nickel. The young woman handed the conductor a dime. That official promptly returned her tlie nickel which Rupert had Just given him and which he had retained In his hand. As it fell in her neatly gloved palm Rupert started and turned pale. He recognized the coin. It was Ids dearly prized pocket piece, the pock et piece Tracy Grant had given him, with the alleged Hindoo hallmark on one side, which meant, according to Tracy, “I am never lonesome,” and that in turn meant, according to Tracy, that the talisman would always attract other coins to the owner’s pocket. ‘‘C’hcrlsh it like the apple of your eye,” said Tracy, ‘‘until you meet the girl who Is to win your love and wear your name, and then have It made Into a bangle for her with Brother Tracy's best wisheu.” And here was this precious token of a David ami Jonathan friendship slip ping Into the dainty purse of a strange young woman. What could he do? He must ask her for it. Could he summon up the courage? He tried, lie framed the wordsiie would use. He moistened his tongue. Then the car suddenly halted at a cross street, and while his attention was momentarily distracted the young woman arose and, giving hirn a bright look that was so unmlstnkahly friend ly Hint It almost took his breath away, alighted from the car—with the nickel of course. Itupert softly groaned. This would never do. The car was In motion. He hastily strode hack to the platform and leaped lightly to the pavement. When he readied tho corner of the street down which the young woman bad turned, he saw her ascending the steps of tlie second house, a handsome stone residence on the west side of the Street. Then Rupert's courage wilted again, j ID 1 turned and walked up tho street, j He wheeled about am) came back. He I couldn’t give up that precious nickel. j|e wsiUcJ to the house in which he had seen the charming j >.iug wo man disappear, and boldly ascending the steps pressed the bell bultou. A neat seftttig nmlfl answered the sum mons. Rupert felt In his pockets. He hadn’t a card with him. “I wish to see the young lady of the house," he said. The maid looked at him sharplj'. Something about his appearance must have softened her heart. "Come in." she said, "and 1 will call Miss Leslie. What name, please?” “The name,” replied Rupert, "is of no consequence. Tell her a gentleman desires to see her for a moment or two.” And he wondered at his own boldness. The maid disappeared, and almost immediately a handsome, elderly lady with a motberl} look came into the room. "Y’ou wished to see my niece?” she inquired, with a rapid glance that took In the caller’s general appearance. Ru pert slightly flushed. He bowed and hesitated. "I came on a somewhat peculiar er rand,” be stammered. "If your niece is the young lady whom I saw entering the house a few moments ago, she Is the person I wish to see.” “My niece entered the house a few moments ago,” said tlie elderly lady, "but she is at the present time engag ed. I infer that you are a stranger. Can you tell me the nature of your business?" “I have come, madam,” stammered Rupert, who was finding this ordeal very trying indeed, "I have come for a nickel.” The elderly lady looked astonished. “I would not infer from your appear ance,” she said, “that your circum stances could he so—so straitened.” Rupert wiped his forehead. "You misunderstand me, madam,” he said. "I am not asking charity. I—I simply want to exchange nickels with your niece.” "How very extraordinary!” murmur ed tin* old lady. “It is, indeed,” said Rupert and he wished himself at the other end of Ohio. In fact, lie was just about to holt through the hall door when with a little swish of drapery the young wo man he had seen ou the ear came Into the room. Somehow her appearance called hack Rupert’s oozing courage. He paused and faced her with a bow. “Will you kindly listen while I ex plain this intrusion?” he asked. Then he hurriedly added: “1 sat next to you on the car this afternoon. In handing the conductor my fare l inadvertently gave him a nickel that I value very highly. It was the gift of a dear friend now far away. This nickel the con ductor gave you in change. 1 saw and recognized it as it dropped into your hand. 1 have come here to beg of you to permit me to redeem it.” He paus ed, and the ladies looked at each other. "It is quite an extraordinary story,” said the young woman, and Rupert beard her voice for the first time, and a charming voice it was. "Just what 1 remarked,” said the aunt. "Just what 1 am prepared to admit,” said Rupert. “It might, of course, be true,” said the young woman. "It might,” said the elderly lady doubtfully. "It Is,” said Rupert. He gathered himself up again. "If you will take the trouble to look In your purse, you will find the proof.” "I will loo!;,’’ said the young woman. "It will necessitate my going up stairs.” She turned in the doorway. “Did you say your name was ou the coin?” “No,” said Rupert; “there is only a cabalistic sign on it.” She turned again. "Will you be seated, Mr. She paused expectantly. “I’ratt—Rupert I’ratt,” replied the young man. “Thank you.” And he sat down. As he did so a lightning glance passed between the ladies. And then the younger lady disappeared. "There was one thing In your favor,” said the elderly lady, with a friendly uni lie. “Lena, our maid, never admits suspicious looking strangers. The fact that she let you in Is greatly to your credit.” Rupert laughed. “Ft may be to my credit." he said, “and yet I have never been prepared to admit that there was the slightest sug gestion of a suspicious character In my general appearance. At the same time 1 will acknowledge that I have felt during the last quarter of an hour ns much like a confidence man as it Is possible for an innocent youth to feel.” And then the young woman reap peared. "It is too bad," she said, "but Just ns I was entering my room my purse drop ped to the floor and scattered the coins In every direction. Your nickel must have bidden Itself with great care, be cause 1 failed to find It.” Rupert tmslfly arose. “I’m very sorry to have put you to all this annoyance,” he said, "and I’m especially sorry that I have been una ble to prove tlie honesty of my purpose in Intruding upon you. Hood after noon.” “One moment,” cried the young wo man. "I haven’t given It up yet I will make a more thorough search, add j*ou must call again.” "Come tomorrow evening If you are not engaged.” said the elderly lady. Rupert stamnie ed that It would be a pleasure and a moment later wae hurrying down the street to catch ft car. He felt strangely exhilarated. Hhe certainly was a remarkably pret ty girl. And somehow the remem brance of her looks softened tlie thought of the ordeal through which he had Just passed. lie called the uoxt evening and found that the precious nickel was still un discovered. Miss lA‘glie hud been too busy to make the promised search. And yet Rupert staid ou through the evening—ami there had never been au evening In all bis recollection that could compare with It. When he start ed to go. the elderly lady suggested that he might like to come up Sunday evening and accompany them to church. And the hashful Rupert ac cepted the suggestion without a mur mur. ()n the way home from church on one never to he forgotten evening the elderly Indy hud suddenly startled Ru pert by inviting him to dine with V!ss Leslie anil herself. And so Rupert enjoyed the most de lightful meal that ever was eaten—but tlie nickel did not turn up. Pretty soon be began to call without being specially Invited and after n lit tle whlie be never alluded to the nick el. Sonietliiies lie felt quite dazed by kin JPAbJ fortune uud by the remark- sine assurance he displayed In accept ing it Yet he was a shy lover still. He asked no questions; he took every thing for granted—much ns if he were living through a delightful dream and feared he would awaken if he moved. Why. it was a fact that he didn’t even know the lovely girl’s full name. She was Miss Leslie to him ns to the house hold, ami he could Invent many delight ful names to call her when he was not at her side. One evening, it might have been six weeks since the memorable day he lost the nickel, he was with Miss Les lie In the little reception room at Mrs. Morgan’s, for that was the elderly lady’s name. Suddenly the sweet gray eyes looked up at him. “I have found the nickel,” said the gentlest of voices. “Have you?” cried Rupert. Then his voice changed. “Really,”’ he went ou, “I don’t believe I’m half glad over its recovery. It brought me such wonder ful luck, you know, the day it disap peared.” “Then you do not want it?" she soft ly questioned with a blush. “I am not as anxious about it as 1 was.’’ replied Rupert. “Then,’’ said tlie gentle voice, “wby not give it to me?” Rupert started. "If I dared.” lie muttered. “Dared wbat?” asked the young wo man. To Rupert’s ears It sounded like n defiance. "This is madness!” lie murmured. He caught Leslie’s hand. “Will you be my wife?” She dropped the veiling lashes over the bright gray eyes. “I—1 accept the nickel,” she stam mered and blushed ns she said it and gave him the other hand. A little later she drew him toward the mantel. “Rupert,” she said, “you’re the vic tim of a mild conspiracy. I knew you that very first day. 1 knew the nickel. I told auntie who you were.” “You knew me!" cried the dazed Ru pert. “I knew all about you through Tra cy's glowing praises. I am Leslie Grant, Tracy’s sister.” “What!” cried Rupert, sinking into a chair. “Tracy’s sister? Then you knew about the nickel?” “I knew all about it,” said Leslie de murely. “And then, too, we bad your photograph. Look here.” She reached behind the clock and drew the portrait into sight. Rupert gazed at it with a dazed ex pression. “We’ll put a frame of gold on It,” he murmured. “On your portrait?” laughed Leslie. “No.” said Rupert solemnly; “on the nlckeL’.'—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A MODEL GUEST. The Reaaon He Coulil Sympathize With the Landlord. The Niagara Falls landlord sized the new arrival up as a kicker while lie was writing his name In the register, and before anything could be said about rooms, rates or conveuieuees be observed: “Perhaps you have made a mistake In the hotel. This is the Great View House. The Small View House Is two blocks down the street.” “This Is the place I want,” replied the guest. “But our rooms are small and the beds nothing to brag of.” “That will be all right. I’ve been sleeping in a hall bedroom or ou a shelf for a year past.” “There is no roaring to be beard here.” “Pm glad of it.” "And the meals are very plain." “That suits me. I’ve got dyspepsia, and the plainer the meals are the bet ter.” “You don’t object to hand organs by day and squalling babies by night?” “Not the slightest. I've roamed all over Europe, and you can’t have any thing here to compare." The landlord saw that be had erred In sizing the man up, but be bated to admit it and therefore continued: “My rates are $3 per day.” “That’s cheap enough for a hotel here,” replied the man. “Do you look for rainbows over the falls?” “Not a bit of It. If they eome along. I’ll take my share, but any old bow will do for me.” “Are you afraid of the typhoid fe ver?” “No. sir.” “There is only one cataract here.” “I don’t want any more. Give me the poorest, smallest room in the house, and if you want to put a man In with me all right, and I’ll use anything for a wash basin and furnish my own soap and towels. Your rates are $3 a day. Here Is $100 to start on.” “Lord, Lord, but what kind of a man are you?” gasped the landlord as bis head began to swim. “I? Oh, I used to run a hotel here myself, and I know how to sympa thize!” smiled the guest “Just let things go along the same as if I wasn’t here. If It’s handy, give me clean sheets once In two weeks, but don’t go to putting yourself out or worrying over me. Here’s 33 days In advance, and In case you run short any time Just let me know and I’ll lend you $500 to get along on!” Oraveft the IMasrae.

The animal with the gazellelike eyes, tlie sardonic smile and the wicked pair of heels—the mule—is responsible for the tripoll excitement In Jackson coun ty, Ind. The story of how the mule once did good Is an Interesting one. A. II. Harbaugh, a farmer living near Frettown, seven miles north of here, recently hitched a team of mules un der a tree by the banks of Salt creek. The mules were attacked by tiles, and iu their frantic efforts to drive them off they pawed up the ground. When the farmer returned, he found a pecul iar bluish dust enveloping the animals, and on the ground was a heap of sand as fine as flour. He became interested in the find and so sent a bottle of the sand to State Geologist Blatchley, who soon sent back word that it was trip oll, worth between $4 and $0 a ton. Mr. Harbaugh examined his own laud and found that great deposits were on his farm. His neighbors, becoming In terested, have done the same, and a number of them have been fortunate enough to find several small beds. The deposit on Harbaugh's farm is more than 3G Inches thick. Tripoli Is not easily found, for at present there are but three extensive beds in the United States. The lar gest bed Is in Newton county. Mo., and another extensive bed Is in West Vir ginia. The people of Jackson county claim theirs is the only deposit In this region of the country.but this Is wrong. In Perry county, near St. Meinrad, there Is a splendid deposit, but it is nearly Inaccessible. The beds of Jack- son county, however, are easily reach ed, for the Southern Indiana railway Is near by. Tripoli is used mainly for the pur pose of polishing. It is rather hard, but it has not sufficient grit to cut met al or glass surfaces. It is claimed the Venetians were the first to use tripoli. It is often called “rotten stone,” but Its technical name comes from Tripoli. In which country It was first obtained. Tripoli Is principally a silica, and it is formed from the shells of microscopic organisms, accumulated In oceans and at wide Intervals drifted, forming a deposit. Another use in recent years has been found for tripoli. It was for some time used as an absorbent iu making high explosives, but in the last few years gun cotton and other mate rials have supplanted It. Besides this, tripoli is used In making soap, and it is claimed that delicate flesh is not in jured by contact with It.—Chicago Rec ord. Free Incineration. New York physicians have recently been receiving from a certain crema tion company a circular which reads as follows: •This certifies that, in recognition of the support which our cause has re ceived from physicians generally. .

Kindly return this certificate if you do not wish to use it.”—New Y’ork Tribune. Settlnit an Example. One Paris “grand dame” Is bound that France shall not be depopulated. The Vlcomtesse do Rocbemallle is 22 years of age, has been married five years and Is the mother of 11 boys, of whom the eldest is not quite 4 years of age. She presented her husband with four pairs of twins in succession and lias just topped off with triplets. The children are all sound and healthy. Iu and Out of Britain, Some 5,500 Germans, Poles and Swiss left their own countries last month to settle in England, remarks the London Express. Against this In cursion of aliens, which shows a con siderable Increase on Iasi year’s record, must be set the emigration of 17,000 British to the United States. More than half of these came from Ireland. May Be Too Effective.
