0 A*. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. *0 Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order ' or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born ' afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child teaches an age when it should be able to •ontrol the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasarit 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 men are made mis- trable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-In this dis course, appropriate to the patriotic character of the day, the preacher ex tols the patriotism, the statesmanship and the Christianity of “the Father of His Country” as worthy of the emula tion of all good Americans. The text is Genesis xvii, 4, “Thou shalt be a father of many nations.” Among the monarchs of Europe there is only one whose lot I consider envi able. Justin McCarthy once wrote that the princes who were born to thrones ought to be the most pitied of all men. The kings and queens of Europe, as a rule, are doomed to lives of oppressive and circumscribed servitude. The would be assassins are always skulk ing around, ready to dig tbeir graves. Kings cannot marry those with whom they fall in love, as other men are al lowed to do. When they wed, consid erations of state policy and of inter national alliance govern the choice of a partner, and they must not marry simply to satisfy the cravings of their own hearts. They must breathe, for the most part, the tainted atmosphere of sycophantal praise and insincere adulation. Royalty has its drawbacks as well as its dangers; but there is one conspicuous example of their being overcome. Even a freeborn American citizen can afford to admire the do mestic relations of the German emper or. The six bright, healthy, intelligent hoys and the lovely little girl who compose his family circle are a group to make a father’s heart glad. To be the head of such a family is more grat ifying than to be the head of the Ger man empire. It was so that the beautiful Cornelia felt when she declared that no wealth was comparable to being the mother of the Gracchi. What, then, must be the joy of that man who is told that he is to be “the father of many nations!” For that reason the Hebrew people honor the name of Father Abraham; for that reason the American people ought to honor the name of George Washington. As the Hebrews to this day venerate the man from whom their race sprang, so we have in the leader and founder of our commonwealth a man whose character is worthy of all our honor and veneration. Thousands upon thousands of pilgrims have jour neyed to the shrines of Machpelah, in which are supposed to be buried Fa ther Abraham and Sarah, his wife. On this national holiday in imagination we should be willing to journey to the Mount Vernon tombs in which slumber the moldering bodies of Father Wash ington and Martha, his wife. We should on this Washington’s birthday he glad to give up at least one service to the study of the life and the character of this great and good man, whose name not only towers above all other names in American history, but whose life has won the admiration of other na tions as well as of our own. A Well Hounded Man. George Washington was a well round ed man. His was not the brilliant gen ius of a Napoleon or a Richelieu or a Mazarin or a Cardinal Wolsey. His military career was not spectacular, like that of Arnold or Greene or Mor gan or “Light Horse” Harry Lee or “Mad” Anthony Wayne. His pen was not facile, like that of Hamilton or Jefferson. He had no oratorical gifts, like those of Henry or Adams or Wil liam Pinkney; but, as he had not the dazzling talents of such men, neither did he have the moral weaknesses which marred their characters. Wherever we touch the life and char acter of Washington there we find that if he had any genius, “his,” as David Gregg wrote, "was the genius of char acter,” and of character alone. As a boy he was not a brilliant boy, but a good boy, a noble, high principled boy. We do not have to refer to the fabled hatchet story to prove this. There are still preserved in his own boyish hand writing the fatuous rules he made to govern his future life, which he wrote out at thirteen. Among those rules are these words: "Endeavor to keep alive in your bosom that little divine spark called conscience.” As a young man we do not find him a brilliant young man, but a conscientious and painstak ing young man. He was appointed public surveyor by Lord Fairfax. Why? Because Lord Fairfax knew that when the plmlder, George Washington, record ed a measurement there would never be a doubt of the one fact, that that meas urement was right. As a matured man we cannot portray the well rouuded- ness of Washington’s life better than by quoting these words written by Mr. Lear, his private secretary, who lived with him as a member of bis family in Mount Vernon: “General Washington is. I believe, almost the only man of ixalted character who does not lose some part of his respectability by an intimate acquaintance. I have never found a single thing that could lessen my respect for him. A complete knowl edge of his honesty, uprightness and candor in all his private transactions has sometimes led me to think him more than a man.” Washington’s character was not the grandeur of a snow capped mountain, full of crevasses and fatal precipices. It was that of a well chiseled piece of marble, over which the sculptor’s band has gone again and again. His charac ter was not developed In an Instant, as a comet leaps into existence and then disappears. But his character growth oau aptly be compared to the sunrise. which grows brighter and brighter and sheds fdrth a more refulgent light until at last that light sinks away Into the twilight after the glowing sunset has covered the clouds with garments of | gold- GoodncKM, Not Itrillnnce, Needed. What the world most needs today b not brilliant men, but good men; not men with the scintillating genius of Aaron Burr, hut men with the good ness of a Father Washington. The world does not need an orator who can make a brilliant speech and then with a dissolute private life repudiate all the noble sentiments he enunciated in that speech. But the world does need good men—men who are honorable in their homes, men who are honorable in their business dealings, men who are conscientiously faithful in every duty of life which confronts them. When the tidings of Bunker Hill were carried to Washington, he anxiously asked the courier this question: “Did the militia fight well?” When told that they did, he replied, “Then the liberties of the country are safe.” That principle is our ground of hope today. On this na tional birthday we re-echo Washing ton’s words and declare that “the lib erties of the country are safe” when its citizens, from the humblest to the greatest, are good men doing their re spective duties well. It was in Wash-^ ington’s “genius of character” that we find his greatest element of strength. George Washington was a well round ed man. That means in ordinary, ev eryday language he was a good man wherever you study him. George Washingtou was ready to sac rifice his all for American liberty. I do not suppose he was any more willing fo sacrifice his all than thousands and tens of thousands of other men. But the simple fact was that George Wash ingtou had more to sacrifice than al most any other man of his day. First, he was a home body. He had to give up all the endearments of his Virginia plantation life. The glory of war and the pride of statesmanship never ap pealed to him, as they often do to the selfish ambition of the modern poli tician. “How pitiful,” he once wrote to a friend, “in this age of reason and re ligion. is that false ambition which desolates the world with fire and sword for the purpose of conquest and fame. I hope to spend the remainder of my life in cultivating the affections of good men ami in the practice of domestic virtues." But though George Wash ington was essentially a home man, and loved his own fireside above all throne rooms, yet at the call of duty he sacrificed his life’s desire and drew his sword as the commander of the 0 American armies. Wnnliinetou'M Great Sacrifices. The sacrifice of his ease and comfort was not the only sacrifice he was will ing to make. When he became com mander of the American armies, he placed his head and life in jeopardy in more ways than one. When the Dec laration of Independence was being signed in Independence hall, Benjamin Franklin, I think it was, turned to some of his colleagues and said, “We must all hang together now or else we shall all hang separately.” That was a figure of speech that may not have been true of every signer of the Dec laration, but it would certainly have been true of the man who was rightly regarded as the head and front of the revolt. If the Revolution of 177(» had failed, whosoever escaped, George Washington, as the leader of the American armies, would have been shot or hung or decapitated. As the greatest leader of that time, he would have had to lay down his life as a warning to all future conspirators. Washington not only ran the risk of the battlefield, but also the risk of the executioner’s ax. George Washingtou placed his prop erty also in jeopardy. His wife was not only rich in her own right, but Washington himself was considered one of the wealthiest men in all Amer ica. I have seen it stated that he was worth at the time of his death over $750,000. That, of course, was a fabu lous fortune in his day. Yet Wash ington was ready to sacrifice all he owned as well as his peace of mind and his head upon the altar of principle if America could only be free. When a great crisis comes, are you and I similarly ready to make a sacri fice for principle’s sake? When we see might triumph over right and Injustice over justice, are we ready to say: “Here is my life. Here is my property. Here is the property of my loved ones. I stake everything In the struggle which I wage to make all men free?” Have we the same faith In a Divine Provi dence as George Washingtou had? Are we as true to principle as he, as ready as ho to put liberty, property and life itself in peril for the sake of right? Do we feel It Is better to die right than to live wrong? George Washington was also stead fast, though he had to battle against and overcome tbe mismanagement of tbe American statesmen and the jeal ousies of his own generals. Some peo ple think that the only battles Wash ington had to fight were those against the English and the Hessian soldiers. George Washington was not always “first in the hearts of his country-men” as he was first in war and first in peace. No sooner was he placed in command than bis enemies at home began to conspire against him. After the capture of Fort Washington by the British these home enemies tried to wrest the commander’s sword out of George Washington’s hand and give it to Major General Charles Lee. When Burgoyne surrendered to Horatio Gates at Saratoga, the “Conway cabal” tried to supplant the old leader with this new conqueror from the north. The Hnemlea In Cnmo. Not only did Washington have to contend with his jealous army officers, but he had to fight his enemies, who were working against his plans in con gress. Instead of giving to him an army recruited from men who had en listed for two or three years, or for the war, these enemies voted to him an army made up of men who had enlisted for a few months or a year. No sooner would Washington plan a battle or a campaign than he would find that a large part of his soldiers discovered that their terms of service had expired and that they were entitled to pack up their things and go home. "It is im possible for me in the compass of a letter,” he wrote to his brother in 177G, “to give you any idea of our situation and of my difficulties and of the con stant perplexities I meet with, derived from the unhappy policy of short en listments and delaying them too long. I am worried almost to death with the retrograde motion of things, and I sol emnly protest that a pecuniary reward of £20,000 a year would not induce me to undergo what I do, and, after all, perhaps, to lose my character.” Yes, yes, some of the mightiest battles George Washington had to wage were against his enemies at home and not against his enemies from abroad. So, my brother, if you are ever going to accomplish anything for God and the world's betterment, you will find that some of the people who ought to help the most are those who will try to un dermine you; that the man who should be pushing you ahead will often be the man who is trying to stab you in the back. Here, for instance, is a true gospel minister trying to preach Jesus Christ in the village or the city- church. Who is the greatest enemy he has to fight? The saloon keeper? The proprietor who runs the low playhouse? The in fidel who never sets foot inside of a church? Oh, no. The greatest retard ment of an average minister’s work is not to be found outside but inside the church. It is perhaps the church mem ber who refuses to be reconciled to the minister because the congregation called him instead of another man to the pastorate. What is the greatest ob stacle that mother lias in the right de velopment of her children? Is it the bad example set by her son’s class mates or her hoy’s employer? Oh, no. It is the bad example set by the boy’s own father that does the most effective damage. And so, wherever we go, we find that our greatest struggles must often be waged against those people who ought to help us instead of trying to destroy us. And one of the chief reasons why we honor George Wash ington today is because he went forth bravely and faithfully to do his work and did not swerve one inch from the right path, no matter what his enemies at home might do or say. The Dutien of Peace. George Washington knew that the duties of peace are of vital importance and farreaching in their results. As president elect he lifted hi:; hand over the opened Bible and promised to up hold the constitution of the United States with as solemn a consecration and reverence as when he drew his sword as the commander of the Revo lutionary armies. He knew that the work of the pen was just as important as the work of the sword. On his way to inauguration he made this sugges tive entry in his diary: "April 1G, 1789 —About 10 o’clock I bade adieu to Mount Vernon. With a mind oppressed with more anxious and painful sensa tions than I have words to express I set out for New York, with the best disposition to render service to my country, but with less hope of answer ing its expectations.” As he stood taking a last farewell of his beloved Potomac and with anxious eyes tried to look into the future George Wash ington fully realized that his acts as first president of the United States would make or destroy a nation. And yet some people suppose that the only great work George Washington did for his country was as a soldier and not as a statesman, as a leader of armies and not as a leader In the greater work of the initiation and administration of laws. As George Washington’s memory is cherished for what he did as the first president of the United States, so may our memory be honored for the bravest deeds of heroism accomplished by us In times of peace. We may often be able to serve our country and people in the store and the home ns unselfish ly and bravely and nobly as if we don ned a soldier’s uniform and marchec up to the cannon’s mouth. When George Washington, as a young man, was being thanked by the Virginia house of burgesses for his gallantry during the French4F’ ar an( * f° r having saved the remnant of Braddock’s army, he could not speak a word. He stood up in the aisle, stammering and blush ing and trembling all over like a child. With that, Speaker Robinson, noticing his embarrassment, came to his rescue and said: “Sit down, Mr. Washingtou; sit down. Your modesty is equal to your valor, and that surpasses the pow er of any language that I possess.” So, like the modesty of Washington, our deeds In time of peace may equal any deed of military conquest. We may be heroes and heroines In civil ian s garb. George Washington up holding the financial policy of the sec retary of the treasury, Alexander Ham ilton, just as important to American history as George Washington leading his troops across the Delaware; George Washington In the political councils of state, just as important for American success as George Washington under the famous elm of Cambridge. George Washington lived and died a Christian gentleman. If you knew nothing of the principles of navigation and should see a ship sail up New York harbor, you might be surprised. You might say to the commander of the ship: “Captain, how was it possi hie for you to steer your ship througl the trackless deep? Miles and miles away is England, and yet you have pointed your ship'^ prow straight Into the Narrows of New York harbor.” Then the captain would take you to the box In which trembles the magnet ic needle. He would explain to you all the laws of the compass; he would tell you that no matter which way the ship's prow turns that magnetic needle always points toward the north 'pole. Then the passage <>f that ship over the trackless deep can be made to j-ou very simple and plain. When we attempt to explain George Washington’s career without the aid of a divine compass, nil is inexplicable, hut when we find the cross as the magnetic needle, guid ing him over the troubled sea of life, then "man's impossibilities become God’s eusies.” WanliiuKton'M Divine Conipnsit. Henry Cabot Lodge smuinod up the character of George Washington in those beautiful words: “1 see in Wash ington a great soldier, who fought a trying war to a successful end, impos sible without him; a great statesman, who did more than all other men to lay the foundations of a republic which has continued in prosperity for more than a century. 1 find in him a mar velous judgment, which was never at fault; a penetrating vision, which be held the future of America when it was dim to other eyes; a great intellec tual force, a will of iron, an unyielding grasp of facts and an uuequaled strength of patriotic purpose.” But, above and beyond that fine conception of Washington’s character, I see a still higher beauty. I see in him a great mind and heart, hut 1 see God in that mind and heart, using him to win su pernatural triumphs. I see George Washington able to overcome the greatest obstacles of the Revolutionary war. Why? Because I see George Washington on his knees in the snows of Valley Forge. 1 see George 'Wash ington overcoming the besetting diffi culties of his presidential life. Why? Because I see George Washingtou as soon as he had taken the oath of office going to the sacred chancel. There, as a humble supplicant, he begged the protection of him who was King of kings and Lord of all. I hear George Washington turn to his old friend, Dr. Craik, and say, “I die hard, but I am not afraid to die.” Why? Because the Clnist who had been his guide through life was his comforter iu death. Oh, my brothers and sisters, would that we might one and all have the same di vine re-enforcement iu life's struggles that George Washington had. Would that we might be able to use the cross as a magnetic compass to guide us over the troubled sea of time into the smooth, unruffled sea of eternity. Thus we draw near to the close of the earthly career of this greatest of all Americans. His life and death in one sense shall in all probability be just the same as our life and death. He longed — earnestly and intensely longed—for the time when he could re turn to the beautiful fields of his dearly beloved Mount Vernon. When that de lightful day at last seemed near, he wrote those happy words: “I have re tired from all public employments and shall tread the paths of private satis faction. Envious of none, I am deter mined to be pleased with all, and this, my dear friend, being the order of my march, I will move gently down the stream of life until I sleep with my fa thers.” But, alas, alas, less than three years after George Washington return ed to his beautiful Mount Vernon there was heard a rustle in the air. The death angel Hew down and knocked at his door, and within a few hours he was gone. So with our lives. We may look forward to a happy and glorious earthly twilight, hut In all probability life for all of us means continued work to the close. It will mean hard work clear up to the end. Then when our work is done, whether well or poorly done, God will call us, and we must go. We shall go In all probability as George Washington went—quickly, un expectedly, with hardly a warning. May we one and all live as he lived. Be able to die as he died. Live in the hearts of those with whom we have come in contact; live as Washington has been—a blessed “father of many nations.” [Copyright 190;, by Louis Klopsch.] Make of Keligiou an Umbrella. When the bishop of Colorado, Dr. Sanford Olmsted, was rector of the Church of St. Asaph, at Bala, Pa., his ready wit made him at once the ad miration and the fear of the people of the neighborhood. There is a fashionable golf and rid ing club at Bala, with grounds that ad join those of the little church, and it happened on a certain afternoon, when Dr. Olmsted was holding a special serv ice, that a number of golfing clubmen were caught iu a drenching shower and hurried for shelter into the church. They entered with a great clatter of their golf sticks and with much sup pressed chuckling and hard breathing. Their noise and their gay sporting at tire made a jarring note on the sim plicity of th< service. But Dr. Olmsted paid no heed to them till.the end of his sermon. Then he said vfch a smile: “We have heard of people who make a cloak of religion. Now we know that there are others who make of religion an umbrella.” Bret Harte. Apropos of the filing of the will of Bret Harte in London, M. A. P. says: "It is a surprise that the greatest of all American short story writers should have left so little money, for, apart from what he made by his books, his serial rights were very valuable. I re member the editor of the Idler remark ing to me some years ago that every thousand words Bret Harte liked to write for a magazine could be changed for 20 sovereigns as easily as a Bank of England note for that amount. It is curious that his son should have re ceived the name Francis, which his fa ther had practically dropped, instead of the other Cl Istian name by which his father was known all over the English ■peeking world.” Colds “ I had a terrible cold and could hardly breathe.
