Mrs. Cleveland has added still further to the gracious impression which her womanly dignity has made upon her countrymen and countrywomen by the' modesty of her retirement from Wash- ington. Called while still young to the most conspicuous position among Amer- ican women, she has filled it with an elevated simplicity, a high-bred grace and personal charm that no mistress of the Executive Mansion ever has ex- celled, and while meeting brilliantly every possible demand of this public position, she has no less constantly maintained an example of those unas- suming domestic graces that are the brightest adornment of American motherhoc d. A certain portion of WaShington soci- ety, that lives only in the public gaze, has expressed its disappointment that Mrs. Cleveland, in the four years just past, has devoted more time to her fam- ily than to official entertainments. Yet there never has been a suggestion that the customary functions at the White House were \ in any ways neglected while its fair mistress chose not to ne- glect the children whom she has so j eal- ously guarded from impertincnt pub- licity. There has been no affectation of mod- esty in all this. Mrs. Cleveland has met her public obligations with the highest distinction Without the obtru- sion of herself or her personal concerns upon the pubiic gaze, and these obliga- iions fulfilled, she takes herself and her family away into dignified retirement, followed by the affectionate admiration of all true men and women. Vicious RazzIe-dazzle. The difference between enterprise and-commonsense is oftentimes wide, and perhaps no greater proof of this fact has been shown than in the “Mafia” scare worked up by the Hour last even- IINIIEARD or BARGAINS. CHANCE or LIFETIME. 350 pairs of Lounsbury, 500 phirs sample 3, 3% an 150 pairs Ladies’ Calf, 400 pairs Ladies’ nice fine ' 300 pairs Ladies’ Goodyear— ing. The article is di’ ciledly objection; able because it 'Qin'S‘ the “Mafia” 'an exalted idea of its power and influencd and because it points out opportunities for the vengeance of these outlaws. But what else can he expected from such sources except constant violations of the pr‘oprii ties and good sense. HOME SECRETS. Mothers K1201) Them; But, With a Little Light, There Need Be None. ' How carefully mother guards the secrets of her boys and girls. At night as she carefully tucks the bed clothes round them she chides and warns that mother will be angry if they repeat last night‘s ofi'ense softly saying to her- self it’s only a habit, but I must break them Of it. This is mother’s mistake. The children cannot help it, and sweet, clean dry beds can be the resting place of every child when it is understood that the cause is not a habit but a weak- ness that can be cured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys and weak kidneys mean inaa bilitv to retain the urine. This is a condition not a habit, and should have the same prompt attention you would give to the marked symptoms of any disease. One Dean’s Kidney Pills, taken twice a day and at bedtime, will strengthen the kidneys of a child, and ’in a short time there will be no cause to scold, for the so-called habit will disappear promptly. Here’s a grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words: Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Meriden. Conn., says; “My little boy of 10 years of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys causing him to wet the bed, So many mothers punish their children for this, but I know he could not help it. I read about Doan’s Kidney Pllll curing incontinence of urine in adults and I thought they might help the little follow. I procured a box and their use produced a marked benefit at once. It’is very seldom he does it now and I shall continue giving him Doan’s Kidney Pills until the kidneys are sound and strong. It is only out of gratitude that I permit publication but I the trouble is a very prevalent one and most people from modesty or difiidence do not speak of it. Physicians do not apear to be able to cope with the trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific for this terrible annoyance. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6 boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on re- ceipt of price. Foster~Milburn 00., Buffalo; N.
