the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
correctsin inability to hold urin and scald
ing pain in passing it,or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need
medicine you should have the best.

Why the Negro Is Called 'Coon."

VIM tho Negro Is Called .'Coon."
Many years ago, says the Balti-
more Sun, when superstition held
greater sway than now, and the
Influences of the occult and weird
were most potent, a cunning negro
slave had acquired the reputation
of possessing a familiar spirit and
of being able to perform many
uncanny mysteries. His fellow
slaves held him in great awe, and
even his master grew to a belief in
his Powers. This finally led to a
wager, in which the greater part
Of the masters fortune was staked
on the negro's divining ability. A
barrel was placed on the lawn and
q live coon placed under the bar
rel. Then the negro soothsayer
was sent for and told to inform the
crowd what was under the barre !.
He tried in various ways to escape
the exposure, but without success.
Realizing that he was cornered, he
leaned on the barrel dejectedly
and remarked: "Well, you've
got this old coon at last" where
upon a great shout applauded what
was considered Sambo's remark
able astuteness, and his reputa-
ton was forever firmly established

A blow It Virginia bachelors
was made in the Legislature, the
other day, when Delegate Turner
introduced a bill providing that

It is asserted that the state is los

Mansfield Journal.
We have always disliked such
sentiments because we resent the
seeming imputation. From such
expressions we would infer that
all the average man has to do is to
gain his own consent to marry and
he just sits down and carefully
runs over the list of his acquaint-
ances among the fair sex to see
whom he would be willing to wed,
and then lets her know of his de-
cision and she. -hastens to arrange
for the wedding day. Nothing is
further from the truth. Our ex-
perience is that is question in
which the woman has much to say,
and the average man is terribly ,
most excruciatingly terribly un-
certain about what the say will be

been infinitely better off had they
