The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken checked,
distressed looking people you SO often
meet are afflicted with kidney Com
plexion."
Their kidneys are turning to par
snip color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness. rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble. nervous ex-
haustiou and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause in weak, unhealthy kid
neys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until il is too late, because the <st
symptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need medicine
or doctor until they find themselves
sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseas-
ed kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
ney poisoned blood, clear their COM
plexlon and soon they will enjoy better
health
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cent and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discov-
cry, Swdmp-Root, by sending your adj
dress TO DR.. Kilmer & Co. Bingham
ton. n. Y. for sample bottle and
book that tells all about it, both sent to
you absolutely free by mail. When

On a Saturday night the onions ar

of onions line one side of the longest

every one you meet has at least a string
of onions. and one walks the entire
length of the market and weeps
A few days later come the dances.
Every saloon and hall is decorated, and
the young peasants, girls and lads, come
to town and make merry. Every "wirt-
schaft" is crowded with a pushing,
jostling throng of plump and ruddy
faced peasants. drinking, dancing and
"hiring out. There are no brawls,
only perhaps parties of merry pumpkins

A Sleepy Deputy.

Under a former administration the
United States marshal of western Penn
sylvania sent warrant TO one of his
deputies. who was stationed in a back
county, FOR the arrest of counterfeit
er. The deputy knew the man and
treated him considerably When they
reached Pittsburg. the necessary papers
were not at hand to commit the prison
er to Jail. The deputy would not take
him to hotel. because he would have
to pay the bill out of his own pocket.
So he took him to the marshal's office
to pass the night there. The deputy
was sleepy and the counterfeiter said he
was. So the deputy handcuffcd his pris
oner TO himself and lay down ON the
floor beside the steam register. AS soon
as the deputy was asleep the counter
feiter took his keys from his pocket.
unlocked the manacle and fastered the
loose end to the register. Then he took
the deputy's watch and what money he
had and departed
where is your prisoner asked the
marshal the next morning, awakening
the deputy.
Doesn't that beat all?' he replied
as he tugged at his handcuff and bruised
his wrist. "Darned if | don't believe
