Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder trooble as men. The womb is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, and for that reason any dis
tress, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage if often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort.
The error is easilp made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder needs doctorinn. If you
have pain or dull ache in your back, or
pass water too frequently, or scanty
supply, with smarting or burning
these are also convincing proofs of kid
ney troubles. If you have doctored
without benefit, try Doctor Kilmer's

RISE AND FALL OF MURPHY.
Tho Thrilling Adventures of Mr.. NIurph.
and a Barrel

Tho Thrilling Adventures of MI. Murphy
and a Barrel.
This is the story of Murphy's
travels. Murphy did not travel for
great length Of time, but he moved
rapidly while he was at it, and he
met with variety of incidents equal
to any related by Marco Polo or
Bayard Taylor.
The true story Of Murphy's trav-
els is told by the employee of a
prominent accident liability insur-
anoe company, whose duty it was to
adjust claims.
One day he received telephone
message directing him to call at an,
unfinished building in the down
town region and investigate an acct
dent which threatened to result in a
lawsuit against the company. He
went to the building and made in
quiries, and the facts, as nearly as
he could get them, will be hereafter
submitted.
Itseemed that Murphy and Clancy
Grish) and a third man named
Schmelz (not Irish) had been put to
work to clear the rubbish and de-
bris from the top floors of the build
ing. They did not wish to carry it
down five or six floors. SO in spirit
of ingenuity they rugged block and
tackle in one of the elevator shafts
and prepared to lower the rubbish
down in barrels. The pulley was
fastened to crosshead beam at the
top of the shaft, and the rope trailed
down through the shaft to the first
floor, where Murphy was stationed.
His duty was to let out the rope
and lower the barrel. He gave the
rope couple of turns around a pipe
and brought the first barrel down
without any trouble. He emptied it
and sent it up again and made his
turn around the pipe and brought
down barrel No. 2 with great sue
cess.
After the second empty barrel had
gone up Murphy was standing in the
shaft holding to the rope and wait
ing for the signal. At the top of the
shaft Schmelz and Clancy, satisfied
that the system was in working Or
der and that no further signaling
would be necessary, hooked the rope
to the loaded barrel, which was
pushed off into the shaft. 1t was a
heavy load, consisting mostly OF
brick dust and fragments of plaster
ing. 1t started down the shaft very
rapidly. Murphy, in accordance
| with the law of nature. started III
