Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for more llekness and suffering than any other disease, therefore, when through neglect or other causes, kidney trouble is permitted to oontinue, fatal results are sure to follow.

One morning Battersleigh was at work at his little table, engaged, as be later explained, upon the composi­ tion of a letter to the London Times, descriptive of the agrarian situation In the United States of America, when he was interrupted by a knock at his door. "Come in, come In, Ned, my boy," he exclaimed as he threw open the door and recognized his visitor. What's the news this mornln'?" "News?" said Franklin gaily, hold­ ing his hands behind his back. "I'vtf news that you can't guess--good news." He held up a small bag before Bat- terslelgh's face. "It's not potatoes, Ned?" said Bat­ tersleigh in an awed tone of voice, franklin laughed. "No better than that," he said. Battersleigh approached his face to the bag and snuffed at it once, twice, thrice, as though his senses needed confirmation. He straightened up and looked Franklin in the face. "ffsd," said he, his voice sinking almost to a whisper, "it's--it's ap­ ples!" "Right," said Franklin. "And isn't that news?" "The best that could be, and the hardest to believe," said Battersleigh. "Where'd you get them, and how?" "Never mind that," answered Frank­ lin. "Tell me, do you know how to make a pie?" "Ned," said Battersleigh, looking at him with an injured air, "do you sup­ pose I've campaigned all my life and not learned the simplest form of cookln'? Pie, indeed, is it?" "Well," said Franklin, "you take some risks, but we'll chance it. Go ahead." Battersleigh busied himself about the little box which made his cup­ board and soon had out what he called his "ingraydeyints." 'Of course, ye've to take a little wiped his knife on the leg of his "chaps," and >hls mouth on the of his hands. "But say, fellers," he said, '1 plumb forgot what I come over here for. They'se goin' to be a dance over to town, an' I come to tell you about it O* course you'll come." "What sort 6t a dance can be, man?" said Battersleigh. "Why, a plumb dandy dance; reg'- lar high /Steppin' outfit; mucha bailie; best thing fver was in this settle­ ment." "I'm curious to know where the ladies will come from," said Frank­ lin. "Don't you worry," rejoined Curly. "They's plenty o' women-folks." "And when does this all happen, Curly, boy?" asked Battersleigh. "Why, night after to-morrer bight, to the big stone hotel. They're going to clean out the dinin' room for us. Three niggers, two fiddlers, an' a 'cordion--oh, we'll have music all right! You'll be over, of course?" "That we will, me boy," responded Battersleigh. "Man, we'll be the -first." "Now, as to a ball, Battersleigh," "Well, then, so long, fellers," said Curly. "I got to be movin' along a little. See you at the dance, sure." said Franklin, argumentatively, when they were alone, "how can I go? I've not the first decent thing to wear to such a place." "Tut, tut!" said Battersleigh. "There speaks the coxcombry of youth. You're able to pull out your blue uniform, 1 know, an' b'gad! the uniform of an officer Is full dress the world over!" Franklin grinned amiably. "Thank you for the suggestion about the uni­ form, at least," he said. "Now, if we can fix you up as well." Battersleigh came and stood before him, waving a long forefinger. "Listen to me, Ned," he began, "an' I'll lay-down to ye a few of the fun- I And there ye are, done." IT COSTS NOTHING if we fail to cure you.

Of course there's the bakln' powder. And, lastly, taak- in', as I may say, the roundin' out of the muscular and adipose tissue of the crayture, as the sowl of the pie we must have the apples. Now, thin, over the top of the whole I sprid this thin blanket of dough, thus. And now I dint in the shircumference with me thumb, the same as July Trelawney did in the Ould Tinth. And there ye are, done, me pie, an' may God have mercy on your sowl!--Ned, build up the lire." They sat at the side of the little stove somewhat anxiously waiting for the result of Battersleigh's labors. Every once in a while Battersleigh opened the oven door and peered in. As they sat for a moment silent there came the sound of approaching hoof-beats, and presently the cracking and popping of the feet of a galloping horse fell into a duller crunch on the hard ground before the door, and a loud voice called out, "Whoa-hope, Bronch! Hello, in the house!" "Come in, Curly," cried Batter­ sleigh. "Come in. We've business of Importhance this mornin'." Curly sat down on the edge of the bed, under whose blanket the newspa­ pers rattled to the touch. "Seems like you all mighty busy this morn­ ln ," said he. "Yes," said Franklin. "You can't guess what we're cooking." "No; what?" "Pie." "Go long!" "Yes, sir, pie," sajd Franklin firmly. Curly leaned back on the bed upon his elbow, respectful but very incred­ ulous. "Was you sayin' I'm iu on this here pie?" "Certainly you are. You wait. It'll be done, now pretty soon," said Frank­ lin. "If ye can poke a straw Into thtm, they're done," said Battersleigh orac­ ularly. "Curly, hand me the broom." Curly passed over the broom, and the two, with anxiety not unmixed with cynicism, watched Battersligh as he made several ineffectual at­ tempts to penetrate the armor of the pie. "Stop lookin' at me like a brace of evil-minded hyenies," protested Bat­ tersleigh. "Ye'd make the devil him­ self-nervous, a-regardin' one so like a object o' suspicion. Mind ye, I'm goin' to take it out." The others watcTfSd him eagerly as he removed the hot tin from the oven and set it upon the bare table. Curly drew his clasp knife from his pocket and cut Into the portion assigned to him. Franklin was reserved, but Cur­ ly attained enthusiasm at the second bite. "Rile Irish," said he, "I'm not so- sure you're such a h--1 of a military man, but as a coolj you're a burnin' success. You kin sign with our outfit to-morrer If you want to." The pie, startling as it was in sbme regards, did not long survive the de­ termined assault made upon It. Curly damental rules of conduct and ap- par'l. "A gintleman never lies; a gintle- man never uses unseemly haste; a gintleman is always ready for love and ready for war--for, Ned, my boy, without love and war we'd miss the only two Joys of life. Thereto, a gin­ tleman must shoot, fence, ride, dance, and do anny of 'em like a gintleman. But if ye found yeself a bit low in kit, as Batty is this day, what would ye say, Ned, me boy. was the first salient --what is the first essential in the dress of a gintleman, me boy?" "Linen," said Franklin, "or is it gloves?" "Ned," said Battersleigh, solemnly, laying a hand upon his shoulder, "white, white, me boy, is ±he first color of a gintleman! Whit^; to show the integrity of his honor and the claneness of his merit roll. A touch of white at neck and wrist anny gin­ tleman must show who presints him­ self at a ball." "But, now, how?" Grasping his companion by the arm, Battersleigh stepped outside the house, and strode off with long steps across the prairie. "Come," he said. Franklin followed for a Quarter of a mile. Then, bending his gaze in the direction of the march, he saw afar, fluttering like a signal of distress in the engulfing sea about, a little whip­ ping flag of white, which was upheld by the gaunt hand of a ragged sage bush. This, as he drew near, he dis­ covered to be a portion of an old flour sack, washed clean and left bleaching in the sun and wind. Battersleigh made dramatic ap­ proach. "There!" said he, pointing with triumphant dignity to the flutter­ ing rag. "Yes, I see," said Franklin, "but what do you want of this piece of sack?" "Sack!" cried Battersleigh, offend­ ed. "'Sack!' say you, but I say 'White!' A strip of this at me peck and at me Wrist; me hat, an' me saber and me ridin* whip--I r-ride up to the dure. I dismount. I throw me rein to the man. 1 inter the hall and place me hat and gloves in ordei as they should be. I appear--Batter­ sleigh, a gintleman, appears, standin' in the dure, the eyes of all upon him. I bow, salutln', standin' there, alone short on allowance, bat • nate and with me own silf-respect.

The wife of the section boss sat In conscious dignity, as became a leader of society. Below faer in order of station came Nora, the head waiter, and the red-headed waiter girl, and the littlest waiter girl, and the wife of the new grocery man. These sat silent and unhappy at one part of the long row of chairs that lined the side of the hall. Opposite to them, equally silent and equally unhappy, sat a lit­ tle row of men.

"Bah!" snorted my friend the Optim­ ist, "what's love but tho imbecile de­ sire of some lunatic to spena $2 on a girl i'or every dollar he spends on himself? Don't talk to me of such idiocy! "And, friendship, too," he growled. "What's it but a man scheming to have some place where he can borrow money without paying interest on the lean? Thi* talk about friendship gives me a severe shock. "And truth and itegrity," he went on, g-owing more excited. "There's loads and loads of truth and Integrity scat­ tered around, ain't there? Read the papers, look at our courts, observe the legislatures, glance at congress, do business with any man, and figure up how much truth and integrity you've bunted into. "And honor," continued the Opti­ mist, sneering until his nose looked like a section of copper sheathing. "Honor? . What is it? Where'll you find it? Have you ever seen a speci­ men of it in man, woman or child? Go talk metaphysics to an ass, but don't talk about honor to me." I had always found the Optimist's cheerful outlook upon things in gen­ eral so hopeful and rosy that I was aghast at these morbid sentiments, so I looked imploringly at his wife for some explanation.

The king of Slam, the fiftieth anni­ versary of whose accession to (he throne was recently celebrated at Bangkok, Is only 65 years of age, for he ascended the throne at 15. Mrs. Leon- owen, an English governess, whose pu- p'l he was for six years, described him as an apt scholar, handsome, affec­ tionate and generous, with lofty ideals. Chulalongkorn has verified that char­ acter by progressive rule. He has given Siam an enlightened government and yet zealously guarded native cus­ toms and institutions. Hence, while building^ canals, railroads, lighthouses and hospitals, he still serves as a priest in the Buddhist temple. He has organized his army on the German model, but his bodyguard is still com­ posed of Amazons--400 daughters of his nobles. He has also abolished the second king, who exercised one-third of the royal power, and has established Instead a legislative council of nobles.

Its population has in­ creased 30 per cent in the same time. It exported to the United States and Germany 1680 000.000 worth of goods In 1872, and only $368,000,000 in 1901 It was the beginning of the ball. Thgse were the first arrivals. At the head of the hall, far off, sat three musicians, negroes alleged to play violins and an accordion, and by that merl? raised to a bad eminence. After a vast hiatus the door at the main entrance was pulled cautiously open, a little at a time. Evidently some one was looking in. At length tho door opened and two figures en­ tered affrightedly, those of Hank Pet's terson, a neighboring rancher, and. ' . his wife. Hank, having forthwith de­ coyed to the row of men sitting silent against the wall, he duly reached that harbor and sank down, wiping his face and passing his hand across his mouth uncertainly. The door opened again and yet again. Two or three engineers, a rod- man, a leveler and an axeman came in, near behind them more cattlemen. From among the guests of the hotel several came, and presently the clerk of the hotel himself. The line of men grew steadily, but the body upon the opposite side of the room remained constant, immobile, and unchanged. 'Say, Curly," whispered Del Hick­ man hoarsely to his neighbor, "ef somethln' don't turn loose right soon I'm due to die right here. I'm thirstl- er'n if this here floor was the Staked Plains." "Same here," said Curly in a mut­ tered undertone. "But I reckon we're here till the round-up's made. When she do set loose, you watch me rope that littlest waiter girl. She taken my eye, fer shore." Sam, the driver, was sitting rapt, staring mutely across the great gulf fixed between him and Nora, the head waiter. As she sat, the light glinting upon her. glasses, her chin well up­ held, her whole attitude austere and commanding, Sam felt his courage sink lower and lower, until he be­ came abject and abased. Fascinated wnone the less, he gazed, until Curly poked him sharply and remarked: "Which 'un you goin' to make a break fer, Sam?" "I--I d-d-don't know," said Sam, startled and disturbed. "Reckon you'd like to mingle some with Nory, hey?" 'W-w-w-well " began Sam, de­ fensively. - 'But she - don't see it that way. Not in a hundred.

MAD PATIENTS OUT INM COLD Half-Clad Men and Woman ' "Wander About in Snowrq While Asylum Burns. SIXTY INMATES ARE MISSING In Removing Their Charges From the Doomed Building, Several Hand-to-Hand Conflicts Resulting* Racine, Wis., dispatch: Driver by flames from their cells and beds in a madhouse into the snowdrifts of the prairie, 200 panic-stricken and lightly clad crazy men and women roamed about in almost zero weather Friday night while the Racine county asylum for the insane burned to the ground. While the fire was raging farmers and asylum attendants herded togeth­ er all the lunatics they could find and control and gave them shelter in the Free Baptist church and laundry building at the asylum. Sixty of the patients, however, were not found, and the missing are wandering about in the cold. 8helter the Unfortunates. About midnight 140 of the patients were placed aboard a special train and brought to this city, where they were cared for in the city hall. Mean­ while farmers are searching for the missing In the vicinity of the burned building. The asylum was situated foor miles west of this city,"at a point on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail­ road called Gatliff. About 9 o'clock flames were discovered in the attic of the north end of the two-story building. Supt. Frank Overson and wife, ex-Superintendent E. Harden, his wife and the attendants got all the inmates out safely with much dif­ ficulty. Several of th«m were crip­ ples. At no time was there any dan­ ger, but they became wild and suf­ fered with cold. The worst of them were hard to handle and several fought the attendants. Patients Are Frost-Bltten. In shifting and running around the fire many patients were finally cor­ ralled and placed in the laundry and other buildings. A large number of farmers came out with teams and sleighs and moved the unfortunates to the Baptist church, half a mile north of the building. In the removal of the patients several of them were frost bitten, but not dangerously. The cause of the fire, it is thought, was spontaneous combustion. As soon as it was discovered Racine en­ gines and hose carts were asked for and these, with Fire Marshal Cape and fifteen men and many city offi­ cials, hurried to the rescue on a special train, but could not save the building. There was no . water supply or the fire could havA been checked. Loss Is $100,000. The asylum was erected in 1889 at a cost of $80,000. It was of brick and two stories high. With the furnish­ ings it is estimated tho loss will be $100,000. The insurance is $60,000. When the fire broke out a desperate effort was made by' the. hospital em­ ployes and farmers to subdue the flames by water from the artesian well, but without avail, and the flames raged until there was nothing more for them to feed upon.
