HAS STRANGE POWER
Bob Tyler, Chicago Boy, Performs
Startling Feats.
Animals and Birds Cannot Withstand
the Mysterious Mesmeric Power
which He Exerts and Fail
Easy Victims.

Chicago numbers in its floating pop
ulation a boy with queer mesmeric pow
er, says the Inter Ocean. His name is
Bob Tyler. He can run down and cap
ture the speediest Of wild animals, such
as foxes, rabbits and squirrels, catch
wild ducks as they swim about in The
water, and subdue the most vicious Of
horses, bulls, lions and tigers.
Bob Tyler was the Aladdin's lamp of
the First Illinois volunteer cavalry.
Rub him the right way and you were
sure to get your wish. IL you were
homesick and blue, Bob could reach up
and get spirits" from the air. If you
were eonvalescent he could put his
hand behind him and produce fried
chicken and jelly on the instant. If
there was to be a birthday party in one
of the regimental messes Bob was
called, and, after he had made a few
mysterious passes, a roast pig, smoking
hot, would invite the government ppe-
ties of the celebrating troopers.
Perhaps Bob's ancestry has some
thing to do with his strange powers.
His father was Frenehman, who prae-
ticed sleight-of-hand and jugglery.
His mother was the daughter of Cher
okee Indian chief. Bob was born in
New Orleans during the days of the re-
construction, and had absorbed all the
superstitions of the negro race. As a
boy he had gone with his parents TO
Central America and several of the
South American countries, where he be-
came acquainted with many Of the mys-
teries of the tropics. Had Hermann
taken him in hand his protege would no
doubt have far outstripped his master
in the black art
Every man in the regiment knew Bob.

thing a fellow wanted. from a piece OF

A majority of the ills affecting peo-
pie today is traceable to kidney trou-
Bile. 1t prevades all classes of society
in all climates regardless of age, sex
or condition.
The symptoms OF kidney trouble
are unmistakable such as rheumatism,
neuralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull
ache in the back. desire to urinate
often day or night, profuse or scanty
supply.
Uric-acid or brick-dust deposit in
urine are signs Of clogged kidneys
causing poisoned and germ-filled
blood. Sometimes the heart acts
badly and tube casts (wasting Of the
kidneys) are found in the urine, which
if neglected, will result in Bright's
disease. the most dangerous form Of
kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions
are promptly removed under the in
fluence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.

And he always did.
All his mysticism vanishes when he
comes in contact with animal life. The
