ONE OF TWO. WAYS.

Ehe bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The Sec
ond way Is from careless local treat
men$ of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys Is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not LIOctOred too much is not liable
to weakness or disease except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
u mary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty-four
hours, a sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild
and extraordinary effect of DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp Root, the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon realized.

FUNERAL PROCESSION" AT WHITE HOUSE
The Sad Experiences of MIR. Commonman
Who Found 1t Necessary to See
the President Face to Face.

This Is an account OF the experiences
OF a plain citizen of the United States
who found It necessary to see the chief
executive OF the country. and who went
10 the White House alone. armed only
with one or two letters of introduction.
His name and address? For present pur-
poses let him be simply Mr.. Commonman,
OF Inlandville.
Mr.. Commonman reached Washington
in the morning, having. rested well in
sleeping car. Breakfast was first in order
after which he read the papers. and.
little past ten, the hour at which the
President begins TO receive visitors. stroll
ed from the hotel to the immaculate and
massive building in which the chief exec
utive lives and does his work as business
manager of this republic.
Progress through the widely opened
outer portals was unimpeded, and Mr..
Commonman was courteously directed by
an official TO the stairs leading 20 the
second story. where the visitor would
meet first the Presidents Private Sec
rotary. and then. If he was lucky, the
President himself.
ACTING PRIVATE SECRETARY.
Now Il CHANGED that Mr.. Common
man had never before visited the White
House. and he thought. as he passed the
door OF the blue room, near the foot OF the
stairs. that 1t would be pretty GOOD
thing 20 20 in and take a look. But on
- 10
spection OF the famous apartment wait
until after ne had seen the President:
doubtless there would be time enough
then. So. passing up the stairs, he pres
entity stood face TO face with function
airy 10 whom two letters. one addressed
simply ',ro the President" and the other
10 the Private Secretary by name, were
presented.
"Mr. Porter. the Presidents Private
Secretary" said the man at the door
who turned out 10 be the Acting Private
Secretary, and whose face was the pic
ture OF patience--"is out OF town. 10 be
gone a day or two. But will take your
letter 10 the President. and perhaps he
will see you. You may have to wait a
short time, as he is just now engaged
with the Secretary OF War and some other
rentlemen. Please take a seat"
so Mr.. Commonman, following the
mute directions OF the Acting Private
Secretary's eve, marched himself into a
long, wide hall. furnished with tables and
many chairs. And there Mr.. Common
man remained long enough TO have In
spected the Blue Room dozen times
over.

is lofty, Il appears otherwise-ehiefiy be-

room. two into rooms occupied by sub
secretaries of some sort, and two, as
Mr.. Commonman soon understood, into
the executive department Of the President
himself
A WAITING CROWD.
Mr.. Commonman was by no means the
only occupant of the waiting room when
he entered, there being at least fifty or
sixty men and women there ahead OF him.
Perhaps half a dozen OF these were news
paper correspondents. who sat at a table
near the window and talked together in
low tones while making copy" OF the
news they had gathered that morning.
The others were all like the latest conner.
waiting TO see the chief magistrate OF the
nation They were almost literally OF
call sorts and conditions" and there were
frequent new Corners though the total
number increased but little, since ever
and anon some grew tired and went away.
Mr.. Commonman had just made up his
mind that he might be detained longer
than he had expected, when n brisk,
handsome man of middle height and white
hair and whiskers. wearing a top hat
frock coat and the smile of one who IS
sure OF himself passed rapidly through
the patient crowd.
THAT is Secretary Gage" said one
who sat next to Mr.. Commonman. 1.-The
President is very busy to-day, and all
the secretaries are running In and out.
IL looks as though there might be some
discussion OF our relations with Spain on
hand. besides, Congress is going 10 meet
pretty soon, and the President has his
message to get ready. l am afraid IL Will
be pretty hard work for us ordinary folk
TO get a chance at him, and have come
from beyond the Mississippi TO see him"
The man closed his remarks with a sigh.
and Mr.. Commonman began 10 think that
perhaps he too would have some trouble
in seeing one who was evidently the
busiest man in the republic. CHANGING
around the room Mr.. Commonman OBJ
serbed that the face of every one there
seemed TO reflect a similar foreboding. In
fact, IL was the most discouraged looking
crowd he had beheld for many a long
day.
like A FUNERAL MEETING"
Near ono OF the tables. in an attitude
of utmost detection, sat a woman with
folded arms. AS Mr. Commonmans eye
rested upon her for a moment he was
struck by the fact that she was as i'm
movable in her patience as IL carved out
OF stone. Just then one of the coffee
colored attendants who were constantly
passing In and out. paused moment In
front OF the woman, and she suddenly rose
TO her feet.

A WHITE CLAD COOK.
Shortly after this a diversion was ar
fOrded by a colored man Of immense pro-
portions, clad in the white jacket, white
apron and white cap Of a chef, who en-
tered at a brisk stride. glanced around
with a broad grin which showed his ivo-
res not TO be in need Of dental services,
and passed through the door leading to
one of the sub-secretaries' rooms. This
caused a brief buzz Of conversation, which
was hushed a few minutes later when
second brisk gentleman wearing a shin
ing top hat and close-htting frock coat
passed through the apartment and into
the door leading 10 the Presidents room.
'That Alger the Secretary Of War;
said Mr.. CommOnman'S neighbor. 'He

Then the Acting Private Secretary, look
ing more harassed and yet more patient
than ever, ambled about the room, stop
ping here and there TO whisper word or
two in the ears of half dozen men. The
faces Of these men. which before had
been distressed and full Of angular lines,
became at once round and smiling, and
they followed the Acting Private Sec
rotary through through the door leading
TO the Presidents room that all were fam
