HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urlnate or pain
in the back. is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rene
dy fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use Of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that UNI
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Rootis soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress

were made on behalf of John l.. Sulli-

During the contest the crowd seemed
impressed with the greatness of the
struggle and the fair and manly way In
which it was waged. Good order was
maintained until the last moment, and
after couple Of rounds the telling
points made by each man were cheered
impatiently. After Corbett came to his
senses the two puglilists shook hands,
Jim having indirectly apologized for his
outbreak after the contest was decided.
The betting underwent very little
change before the battle and the men
entered the ring at 100 to 70 on Corbett.
Few big individual bets were laid, but

TRULY, MY UNCLE, THERE ARE TWO WHO
STAND UPON A NINE"
Clara Hill had been Fannie's guest
for week, when one evening Herbert
had been out, and it was fully ten
o'clock when he came in.
He softly opened the door and noticed
from the parlor door being ajar that it
was still lighted. He heard his uncle's
voice, and something in the tone caused
him to halt as he was about to enter the
parlor. The words he heard were:
my dear Clara, the reason detain
you tonight is to tell you that you are
very dear to me. There has always been
. warm friendship existing between
your fathers family and mine; have
asked your fathers permission to adj

result-Clara, 1 am no longer a young
man, have q daughter almost of your
age, but will love you, Clara, and
guard you tenderly while I live. Clara,
can you be my wife?"
Herbert Lathrop stood with white
lace and clenched hands at the threshold.
listening to his uncle's declaration, and
breathlessly he awaited Clara's answer.
"Mr. Lloyd. I need not feign surprise,
for my father told me of the honor you
had conferred on both him and me, by
seeking my hand-indeed, he is very
anxious that change my name to Clara
Lloyd, but do not love you, Mr.. Lloyd,

Herbert Lathrop almost smiled here.

tinued Clara, land if, knowing how I
feel, you desire to make me your wife,

clear it. Wild rumors and cries of
foul We're heard for few minutes,
but they quickly died out when it be-
came known that Fitzsimmons had won

was cleared partially by the officials
and Corbett, seeing Fitzsimmons
through the break in the crowd, made
wild dash at the Australian and led
for his head with both hands. Fitz-
simmons dropped his hands by his side,
and as Corbett came in the Australian
