The Surrender, by Admiral Maitland. - An Talks. Scott City, Kan., March 20th (Special.) Almost every newspaper tells of cures of the most deadly of kidney diseases by Dodd's Kidney Pills, Brights Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism and Bladder troubles, In fact any disease that Is of the kidneys or caused by disordered kidneys is readily cured by this great American remedy. But It is in curing the earlier stages of kidney complaint that Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing their greatest work. They are preventing thousands of cases of Brights disease and other deadly aliments by curing Kidney Disease when it first shows its presence In the body. Speaking of this work James Scott of Scott County, says: I have used eight boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and must say that they are Just the thing for Kidney Disease. We have tried many kidney medicines but Dodds Kidney Pills are the best of all." .TREES THAT GIVE e Abbreviation Called For. What does P.

After supper they waited for the rising of the full moon. They saw the stately orb of night break above the oceans rim and blend its white light with the pink afterglow of sunset Bathed in her flood, they turned their horses homeward, riding through a shadowed and shimmering fairyland. The gnarled and apple trees were etched in lines of weird beauty against the sky. The rugged stone walls were softened, and faded away into dreamy perspectives.

Simple hopes and ambitions, bounded by the desire to do good to one's neighbors, simple pleasures, habits, food and drink. Men die long before their time because they try to crowd too much Into their experiences they climb too high and fall too hard. A wise woman writes of the good that a simple diet has done her: I have been using Grape-Nut- s for bout six months. I began rather sparingly, until I acquired such a liking for It that for the last three months I have depended upon It almost entirely for my diet, eating nothing else for break-las- t whatever, but Grape-Nut- s and supper, and I believe I could sat It for dinner with fruit and be satisfied without other food, and feel much better end have more strength to do my housework. When I began the use of Grape-Nut- s I was thin and weak, my muscles were so soft that I' was not able to do any work. I weighed only 108 pounds. Nothing that I ate did me any good.

Vn-do- COCOA. Cocoanut Palm ami Cacao Tree Both Handsome Specimens. Many ot us who use cocoa and eocoanuts daily do not know that they are obtained from two distinct trees. The cocoanut palm is the fruit of a tall and graceful palm tree, whereas the cocoa, or more properly cacao, Is the powdered seed of a small and handsome tree, bearing no resemblance to the cocoa palm. In fact, the cacao tree is closely allied to the linden oc lime trees. No one who has ever seen the peculiar appearance presented by the cacao tree will be likely to mistake It for anything else. The tree Itself grows to a height of twenty or twenty-fivfeet, with a rather smooth and slender trunk, thick, bushy and symmetrical top, and handsome broad, oval leaves of a deep purple or bronze color. Instead of growing at the end of the branches or twigs, as do most blossoms, the flowers bud out directly from the bark of the limbs and trunk. The flowers are small and insignificant, but the fruit, shaped like a cucumber, grows to a large size, sometimes eight or ten feet in length and three or four inches across. It is brilliantly colored orange, red or yellow, and under favorable conditions fairly covers the tree, and is a beautiful sight. be ready to take the horses if I tell you." Yes, sir. replied the boy solemnly, r raising a gloved hand to his hat a strong curb the horses followed the Bishop vehicle. Delighted to return to the country, Jessie Carden little suspected that her arrival had so aroused the blase blood of the hanker millionaire's son. It was a long drive, hut at last Arthur Morris saw the carriage turn into the Bishop yard. He drove leisurely past the place till he regained the main road. On the old bridge spanning the creek he met a young man in a light road wagon. Morris halted his team, and signaled the driver with a wave of his hand. I say, who lives In the big house to the south, on tills side of the road? "Mr. Bishop lives there Mr. Thomas Bishop, replied John Burt. Thanks," said Arthur Morris with a short how. Any daughters?
