hours IN the Jungle before he was disoov-

Corporations have come to understand
that It is useless to trlfe with Roosevelt.
and they are now bending every effort

Governor Roosevelt has been threatened
with political humiliation IL Ne persists
In favoring the Ford bill to Tux franchises

senator Is much dlspleased and can not
stand for Colonel Roosevet's reconciliation

despite the pressure.
This little fight Is watched With interest
here, for Roosevelts apparent obedience
to Plat has surprised most az those who
know the governor OF New York and his
desire to be the whole thing or to quit the
game; IL is very safe to predict that now

DR, KILMER'S SWAMP-R
IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EV-
 ERYTHING.
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder Trouble It Will Be Found Just
 the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased.
 Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for child ito be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If. the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, and it is yet afflicted with bed wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
 So we find that women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad- der trouble and both need the same remedy The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty-cent and one dollar sizes You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet telling all about it, including many of the thousands of teslim onial lete.s received from sufferers cured.

ternational cup race to occur, but there are to be many~smaller contests, enough, in fact, to give every man who owns yacht an opportunity to show what his boat is worth, and such conditions alone will al- ways cause a revival in yacht building. The chief reason why so many large boats are being built, however, is that during the past year the steam pleaure fleet of the country has practically gone out of eX- istence the United States government hay ing called upon it in its hour of need.
 Now that this crisis is over and the man of wealth feels that times are sufficiently prosperous to permit of the expenditure he naturally desires to replace the craft that was taken by Uncle Sam, and this fact alone is sufficient to explain why the ship yards are more busy today than they have been in many years.
 There is no more enthusiastic lover of yachting than William K. Vanderbilt, Jr, and the forty-five foot yacht Carmita, Of which he is skipper first mate and part or the crew, has been almost his only home since his wedding day. In this trim little craft the young millionaire has spent many days and the boat is one of the fa- miliar objects in the Newport waters. In it the young couple have visited every spot that is worth visiting, and it is, notable fact that they seldom burden the boat with many passengers. They seem to pc

There never was a season when there were so many yachts in course of construc- tion as there are at the present time, and the oldest of the yachtsmen, even those few who can remember the year 1Sl4 when Commodore Stevens gathered the many strings into one definite plan of organiza- tion, cannot recall summer in which the interest in this, the greatest of all aquatic sports, have been so general.
 Of course there are reasons for all this, and the first and most important is to be found in the general feeling that the coun- try has at least entered upon an era of prosperity. Whatever the popular opinion may be upon this subject the men who are able to own sailing craft are making money and when things are financially prosperous the wel-to-do American, whether he be young or old promptly obtains possession of a yacht and proceeds to enjoy life on the water This is the first and principal reason.
 Another is due to the fact that this prom ises to be one of the greatest racing years of the century. Not only is the great in-

other is a 30-foot knockabout which he in tends to present to his eldest son. Those who know MT. Maxwell, however. are of the opinion that he will find it difficult to outgrow his fascination for the sails, and that he will frequently forsake the more pretentous vessel to cruise about in the smaller boat.
 Among the other craft that are building or are ready for cruising are Louis Bos- serts twin-screw steam yacht Mayita; Richard Stevens Aieen, "a steam yacht that is being built upon plans furnished by the best-n naval architects; Eugene Tomp- kins' Idalia, which is to take the place of the Illawarra, one of the yachts purchased by the government last year. John F. Dun- cans Kanawha, which will replace his yacht of the same name which was also purchased for war purposes by the govern- ment; F. A. Wideners new Josephine, built to replace the vessel now known as the Vixen, and G. M. Aliens S0-foot twin-screw naphtha yacht which has not yet been named, but which, when finished, will be the largest naphtha craft in existence.

complish this result has been the chief aim of the builders, and they believe that they have succeeded in devising plans that will enable them to build a boat that will sur pass in speed anything that has yet been constructed.
 The model of The Virginia Fairy follows to a certain extent the lines of other fast boats that have been built during the past few years. In many points, however, alter ations from the old line have been made, and it is upon this that her builder will de- pend to obtain the great speed that Is re- qulred. In length she will be about eighty feet, with a beam few inches over eight feet with a beam of three feet six inches. Much of the material used in her construc- tion will be steel, while the many air tanks in the water-tight compartments will keep her af1oat in case of accident. The boiler to which the speed of the yacht will of course be due will be constructed with es- pecial regard to the requirements of the craft. and while the space that is to be de- voted to the machinery is very small the plans of the builders call for boiler that shall give the highest of pressure pos sible and still be light and compact.
 It is scarcely probable that this yacht Will be launched this summer, but there will be many boats afloat this season that Will attract the attention of every lover of yachting. Among the most prominent VIII

be J. Pierpont Morgan's new Corsair, boat that has just gone into commission. Among all the boats that have been built this year she is the-most beautiful, and more than one envious eye will be cast up- on her during the racing season.
 A boat that is at the same time massive and attractive is Colonel Oliver H. Payne's Aphrodite One glance at her is enough to show that she was not built for show or for idling along over quiet summer seas. Her massive lines were only meant Tor deep-sea cruising, and in her it will be per- fectly safe for her owner to carry out his intentions of enjoying a cruise around Cape Horn Another large boat that will be seen for the first time this summer is the Aloha which is now being completed. Her own CTS, Messrs. D. w. and A. c. James, are both capital seamen, and in this new boat they may safely sail around the world. J. Harvey Ladew is also building a yacht of noble proportions which will be ready for deep water yachting next fall.
 J. Rogers Maxwell has long been one of the most enthusiastic of yachtmen. and two boats are now being constructed for him. One is a handsome steam yacht, which will be called the Kismet and the

perfectly contented when they are alone on their little cutter, sailing ovr the smooth surface of Narragansett bay or riding the waves in the rougher waters of the ocean.
 It was more than three years ago that the Carmita was purchased and since that time the boat has done good service. Of late, however, Mir. Vanderbilt has been ar ranging to build another boat, and the con- tract for it's construction has already been placed with one of the prominent yacht builders. This. however. does not mean that he is contemplating the disposal or the Carnlita The new boat is to be 0 very different kind of craft, and while he expects to find a great deal of enjoyment from his new yacht he will still retain the cutter on which so much of his honeymoon has been spent.
 According to the plans that have been prepared. the new boat which, by the way, is to be named The Virginia Fairy, in hon or of his wife, will be the fastest yacht afloat. We have had many speedy boats in the past, and there are several rapid sailers a1oat today but 1t is Mir. Wander blt's intention to have a yacht that can afford to give distance to any craft in any waters where it may chance to be. To ac-
