dear one;
We would have done anything to

Beloved on earth, regretted and

Remembered in the grave, if love
and care could death prevent,
Thy lite would not so soon be spent.
Life was desired but God did see
Eternal rest was best ior thee.
Thy dear sweet face is gone; "
We are left behind to watch and
wait;
And sweetest comfort leads us On.
She's waiting for us at the gate,
There again we hope to meet you
Lille dear;
When the days of life are fed,
Then in heaven we hope to greet
you,
Where no rarting tears are shed.
Lillian dear, thou art gone, but
not forever,
Nor will thy memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will always lin
ger
Round the grave where thou art
laid.
And this lovely bud so fair ard
young.
Called hence from early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a
flower
In Paradise would bloom.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are oat bf order.
WHAT TO no.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's.
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulfills every wish in relieving
pain. in the back, kidneys. liver,

to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes 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 real
lied. 1t stands the higher for its
wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medi-
