CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief canse of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, was created for one
purpose, and If not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or in
convenience manifested In the kidneys, back.
bladder or urinary passage is often, by mis-
take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty
four hours; sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Kiliner's Swamp

Mr.. Putterby, my old time neighbor Of
40 years ago, was what we call in the
country close listed, ;" said the man from
the rural districts. "He could drive the
closest bargain Of any one l ever met and
could keep house with the least buying.
One of our coins in those days was the old
silver 1917 cent piece, variously called
niuepence, York shilling and bit, &C

coin that enabled him to make n browning

"A farm boy came along one day with a

Putterby, after examining them thought
he would invest, but half pumpkin was
all that he cared to buy
But n whole pumpkin Is only cent,
said the boy. How are you going to pay
me for half one?'

INCIDENT IN TUMIGATION.
How Some Negroes Pared Under the Quar-

Frascati, Ala, a few-days ago. There

Kansas City company to work on the rail-
road beyond the Mississippi line. The
quarantine regulations Of Mississippi re-
CURED that their clothing should be fulni-
gated. The only clothing they had was on
their backs, and as the negroes themselves
could not be smoked without danger Of
their becoming suffocated they were put in
q box car and their clothing was hung up
in another car alongside. Then the fumi.
CATION of the clothing took place, with full
success.
About this time a locomotive backed
down on to the car containing the clothing
and made off with II, leaving the Africans
in a state Of nudity. The negroes set up
mighty wall Of despair when they saw
all their wearing apparel disappear in the
direction of the setting sun, especially
when their own car was soon connected to
locomotive and they also were whirled
away, naked and defenseless. Their alarm
was quoted shortly, however, when they
found their car stopped opposite the car
containing their clothing and they were
permitted to resume their habiliments. -

| Order u Preserve His Strengths an
Expert swimmer. Boxer and shot Put
ter-His Large Physique.
Richard Croker is about TO forsake poll
ties for the nonce in order to undergo a
course of training for the perfection OF his
physique. Hugh J. Grant has proposed
him as a life member Of the New York
Athletic club. J. III. Haslin. chairman OF
the committee on membership, Is also
sponsor Of the Democratic leader.
Time and time again Mr.. Croker has
stated that he crossed the Atlantic in
search Of health. 4 couple Of years ago be
began to fail rapidly. His physician or.
dered a sea voyage and change OF climate.
He decided TO go 10 England and went.
There he partially regained his health.
Since his return 10 New York he has been
suffering from attacks of cold and the
usual feyers which accompany troubles OF
this nature. He spent two weeks with
Senator Murphy at Long Branch, and
when the ballots were counted after the
election he was compelled TO take TO his
bed just in time to escape a serious attack
of pneumonia. A trip to Hot Springs, Va,
followed. Now bis physician advises him
TO take a regular course of athletics.
Speaking Of his intention to join the New
York Athletic club, Mr. Croker said:
"My object is 10 be in a position 20 take
regular exercise. A man must do some-
thing TO condition himself. There is moth
ing like the old time system, including
boxing wrestling, running, jumping,
putting the shot and all kindred sports.
In order to be in position TO avail my
self of such exercise decided TO become a
life member of the New York Athletic
club. Yes, il is my intention TO run the
entire course Of the machines for develop
ing the muscles in the gymnasium OF the
club"
Mr.. Croker is an expert swimmer, boxer
and shot putter. Few are aware Of the
fact that Richard Croker is an all around
athlete as well as successful politician
A casual observer would never for a mo-
ment imagine that he possessed remark
able physique. He is not tall, nor does he
appear muscular when in street costume,
but he strips a wonderfully big man. This
is trait peculiar TO all real athletes. He
has chest almost as large as that of Tom
Sharkey, the Irish giant, and tremen-
dous pair Of shoulders.
Senator Murphy has rs great an admi

'many years, and during that period 1
have had numerous opportunities TO study
