WELL or "half sick y have you ever
thought that you ever thought that
your kidneys may be the cause of yyur
sickness? 1t is easy to tell by setting
aside your urine for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition ofthe Kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kid

urinate, scanty supply pain or dull ache
in the back is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder need doctoring

weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urine troubles. Not only
does Swamp-Root give new life and ac-

The opportune Moment.

A certain deacon that know considers
rigid discipline essential to the well being
of his family, says writer in Belfast
(Me.) Cream. He has a little boy named
Johnny, who is the personification of mis-
chief Having got into an exceptionally
bad scrape his father informed him that
he should whip him, and as he prepared to
commence operations Johnny said, "Papa,
mayn't so into the bedroom a minute?"
His father told him he could, then tiptoe-
ing to the door, the deacon saw the little
fellow kneel and begin to pray.
Oh, God, papa says that you say, Call
ON me in the timo of trouble. am in an
awful scrape, Mr.. God. / am having lots
OF trouble. If you ever did want to help
little boy, now is your time. Amen"
That appeal was sufficient. The prayer
was answered, and the whipping did not
come off.

DeneVe THAT MIS-. .nr1rJlu sJruye cur
nestly to repay her husbands devotion, but
in the effort her vivacity departed, the
bloom faded from her cheeks, the luster
from her eye, and he, poor man, sought
with every art of which affection and
wealth were master to insure her happi-
ness. At the end of year a certain means
of doing so presented itself Mclean q
wife died
"Of course you IL say that Martin was a
fool, but he himself suggested q divorce to
the woman he adored in order that she
might marry the man who possessed FER
heart. Then another man, after lavishing
SO much love upon W oman and getting
nothing in return, would have learned to
hate her and revenged himself by keeping
her apart from his rival Other men would
have been content with the metaphysical
possession Of such a magnificent woman,
but Martin was not that sort of man.
He loved her'so truly that her happi-
ness was more to him than his own, and
as he saw that her union with Mclean
alone could secure it he resolved to bring
about that union.
Now, don't want you to think that
he was namby PANTY, but he had such
exalted ideas about love, and he was sim
ply executing them.
"Well. to be BRIEF the divorce was OBJ
tanned, the grounds being incompatibility
of temper, although judge and jury knew
the real reason and did not want to thwart
the happiness of three people.
"A year later Cynthia and Mclean were
married. and then Mrs. Grundy said Mar
tin was avenged, for Mclean abandoned
his profession, squandered his wife's mon
ey, neglected her and even did her bodily
injury when under the influence Of liquor
Soon after the war began ne one night
In drunken orgy walked out a second
story window and broke his worthless
neck, and Cynthia was left poor, shattered
in health and spirits, with an infant
daughter. For two years she waged a
most bitter battle with want. Those from
whom her pride would permit her to ac-
cept help were themselves too poor to offer
1t, for you know how the war desolated
and impoverished the south
Then Martin came home on a furlough
from Virginia, where he had been fighting
CALAMITY, and hearing of her restitution
craved the privilege of assisting her, for
strange to say, tho Yankees never visited
his plantation, and the negroes there went
on with the planting and harvesting as
oAousu Ao ShuoA 'nohsoer VI war was 0ev-
astating the country.
But she told him that after what had
passed between them it would humiliate
her too much to take his charity.
"'Then share what have as my wife!
he cried. She did and never repented it,
"By .Joye, that was man in million I"
And the colonel relighted his pipe, and for
ten minutes not sound was heard in the
room save his vigorous pufing.-Ex-
change.

ONE In A MILLION.

All these divorce proceedings among
the Four Hundred" remarked the colonel
throwing down his newspaper, "recall an
affair that happened down south before the
war and which furnished the plantations
gossip for year"
Let us have it, colonel" we cried in
chorus.
"Well, don't mind,'' he replied, light
ing his pipe and assuming the attitude
that is always an index of his being in a
reminiscent mood.
Miss Cynthia Pillow was the toast Of
our county, not only for her beauty, which
was OF splendid brunette type that would
have caused even a Carmelite monk to for
swear his vows of celibacy, but for her wit
and many accomplishments. Among her
numerous suitors was Mr.. Martin, a man
of wealth and culture. He was fonder of q
musty old book than of hunting and rae
ing, the favorite pastimes of every south
ern gentleman and therefore every one
marvelcd that he should admire Miss Pill
low, who was an enthusiast about these
sports
'sBut admire her-nay, worship her-he
did, and though she had often said NO to
his wooing he refused to relinquish hope
as long as she remained unwedded AT
over county courtiers, she visited Memphis,
and there her beauty and intellect evoked
the accustomed homage.
"Gads!" And the colonel raped his pine
with a vehemence that almost shattered it
against the marble mantel. "What do you
eastern bellies know Of the autosratic pow
ar southern girlwields over the hearts Of
her admirers, and what do you cold blood
ed Yankees know Of performing deeds Of
chivalrous devotion for q woman? Well,
in the Bluff City her proud heart found it's
conqueror. He was lawyer named Nc.
Lean, very Alcibiades in looks and char
acter, with the dash and insouciance that
prevail so with women, good and bad,
even If they suspect or know that vice goes
hand in hand with them
Despite the warnings OF her friends
about his fondness for the wine cup, his
penchant for gambling, ere she returned
once more to the doting father his be-
tTothal ring glittered upon her hand. The
fetters her loveliness had fastened upon
his selfish heart were riveted there by the
wealth that she had inherited from her
mother. One can only imagine the an
guish that Martin endured at this time,
for he spoke to no one of 1t, but continued
to worship daily at the shrine of his idol.
The wedding was to take place on the
9Th of June, but when on that day Nc
Lean, wearing an air of victory and an
ultra fashionable suit, drove up to the
doors Of Beeohcroft in his new coach, from
which white ribbons futtered and where
on sat grinning coachman and lackey,
each adorned with an immense bridal fa-
vor, he learned that Miss Pillow, yielding
to tho pleadings Of her friends or prompted
by some womanish caprice, had the day
before welded the faithful Martin.
They said that it was very funereal
looking vehicle that dashed through the
gates few minutes later, and that the
Cufies on top were almost as white as the
rosettes they had been ordered to doff, for
they we'll knew their masters fiendish
wrath would be wreaked on their kinky
heads. A few days after he married q
damsel who had long sighed for him.

HIT AT ANNEXATION.
johnson of Indiana Makes An Attack
In House.

johnson of Indiana Makes An Attack
In House.
WASHINGTON February 22.-With-
out word of warning, while the sundry
civil bill was under consideration.
Johnson of Indiana took the floor by
the courtesy of the Appropriation Com
mittee, and for three-quarters of an
hour attacked Hawaiian annexation
on all the old points. Johnson is out
| of the race for reelection to Congress,
has Senatorship bee in his bonnet,
and in his attack today is looked upon
as the direct spokesman for Speaker
Reed, who confessedly is opposed to
annexation but Is debarred from MAX
ing fight on the floor, and in the opin-
| ion of annexationists, has taken this
course to strike a severe blow at annex
alton.
There was a small audience in the
chamber when the rapid speaking In
dianan began, but his attack on the
Administration policy soon drew the
Democrats about him, and he was ap-
plauded by the minority all through his
address The well delivered and finely
phrased speech of Johnson attracted
much attention. When Tawney of
Minnesota, one of the ablest advocates
of annexation, on two occasions en-
deavored to inturrupt to put ques-
tion which would show the fallacy of
the reasoning of the opponent of the
Island, Johnson refused to yield, but
| maintained the current of his argu-
| ment.
Some arguments adduced by John
when the advocates of taking in the
| Islands secure an inning.
His allusiOn to illiteracy was too
palpably inaccurate to pass muster,
and the height of absurdity was reach
ed when he said the acquisition of AL
aska was yet an experiment; that gold
so far found was across the line, and it
was still a question whether in the
seals we had not purchased vexed
| question which was still far from So
| luton. The opposition to the treaty
considers that by the placing of this
| speech where no one could answer it
| by reason of time allotment material
| damage has been done to the prospects
of annexation. 1t is understood that
Towney or Dolliver will reply to john
son tomorrow.
| Johnson electrified the House and
galleries in denunciation Of what he
termed an attempt to cut loose from the
| traditional policy of the House and
| further a scheme Of colonization that
had proved the ruin of empires and OF
| nations. He used some very strong
language, but his remarks were enthu-
siastically applauded, and the minority
and many Republicans joined in the
demonstration. He declared that while
he had denounced at the time the state
ment that the Hawaiian Monarchy had
been overthrown with the aid of Amer
| lean citizens that he now firmly be-
lieved it was true The speech, coming
entirely unheralded, produced deep
impression The general debate OF the
sundry civil bill was concluded today,
and tomorrow the bill will be taken up
for amendment.

SEEKING CAUSE
Board Of Inquiry Holding Sessions
In Havana.
COMBUSTION THEORY FAVORED
Two Cases of Ammunition Found
In the Magazine-One Was
Exploded.

HAVANA, February 22.-Consul-
General Lee and the members of the
United tSates Court of Inquiry on the
loss Of the battelship Maine called
this morning upon Captain-General
Blanco and Admiral Manterola. When
these ceremonies were ended the Court
returned to the United States light
house tender Mangrove and resumed
it's sessions.
Divers failed today to place the cleo
trio light apparatus inside the Maine,
connecting it by wire with the dynamo
of the Mangrove. The cause Of this
failure is that the wire obtained in
Havana is worthless for the desired
purpose The work of the divers is
progressing very slowly on account of
paucity here of the materials required
by them The wrecking tug Neptune
is eagerly expected from Key West.
She will bring all the necessary ap-
paratus to raise the big guns, and es-
pecially to clear out of the way of the
divers the many large objects and iron
piers which are hampering them in
their work. 1t is expected that the
electric likht will be in operation to-
morrow and that it will greatly aid in
investigation.
Nearly all the possible salvage has
now been made from the cabin aft.
The efforts to reach the ward and
mess rooms are frustrated by some un-
known obstacle.
Two cases of ten-inch ammunition
have been found, one having exploded,
the other full of powder. These were
found forward.
Judge Peral of the Spanish Admiral
ty Court today has been taking the
dispositions of the officers of the AL
fonso XIII and the harbor officials on
the disaster to the Maine.
