of all kinds, have seen splendid yields,
in fact any man who cannot get along
here and make good living cannot do
it anywhere.
We have abundance of wood for fuel,
timber for building, and lots of hay.
I have got good water on my place,

neighbors around me, and have been

able to get lots of work for myself and
team at fair wages, whenever wanted
it, and think any one else can do the
same. I would not care to return to

OF CHRONOLOGY.
A Noted Authors View ON the ScieA-
tiflc Treatment Of
Criminals.

To a great many young men the
criminal life has many attractions;
just as the tramp life has attractions.
They love the life of risk and danger.
They take chances; just as people like
to hunt and kill things-game, Span
iards, Indians. That is very interest
ing. We have not got rid of it yet, we
shall some time-the desire to kill
things. The criminal has that sort of
passion. A good many of them like
that way of life; it is game. They
take the chances and the risks. Under
the old system it was very risky, but,
if convicted, they served definite term,
and, after being we'll fed for certain
time, they went about their business
again when they were free. We could
not let man do anything worse for
about society now, but about the man.
What is the best thing to do for the
man? 1 should say: "My dear sir,
the first felony you have committed is
the last one you will ever have chance
to commit, and we do that for your own
benefit entirely. That is not career
any more. There is no outlook for you
in this directions; there is no thorough
fare" What takes the place of it?
WHY the scientific treatment that will
make different person of you. That
is the whole of it. 1 should say-you
will not like it; you will like. it about
so years from now, when you are all
dead-I should say for the fsrst Of
Tense should send the person to an in
stitution, to remain until he has en-
tirely changed his nature. If he does
not change his inclination for that sort
of life, he should continue to stay in
prison at labor. Do you not see in
the majority of cases that is the mans
only salvation? 1t is not cruel

Prompt Way to Cure Yourself When Symptoms Show That
Your Kidneys Are Oct Of Order.
To Test the Wonderful Merits of the Great 1odern
Discovery. swamp-Root. Every Reader May Have
a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free By Mail.

The way to be we'll is to pay attention
to your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
Of the body-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not ques-
ton of taking a laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness. it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is. the first thing you should do is
to afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Klmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and
gentle aid to the kidneys that is known

A woMAN's PHILOSOPHY.
Clever Things said by MRS. Mering-
lonesome Characteristic
Sayings.

OF Irish birth and Scotch upbringing,
Mrs. Merington had lived in London,
Paris and Vienna, and had had in her
day opportunities of studying men and
manners, love and life, such as are at
forded to few of her sex.
About life she had many character
istic sayings. of which remember a
few:
1.-THE only rule for happiness here be-
low is to limit your wants."
"Soft hearts are the worlds pin
cushion"
''To succeed in life, be selfish, and
good-tempered, confident and indiffer-
ent."
IF a man wants to make a name he
must learn to take fate by the throat"
"Some men die without ever having
lived; some women without ever hav-
ing loved; some critics without ever
having praised"
"The inevitable is invariably disa-
greeable.'
Telling the truth may be the worst
of treachery."
Nothing is more astonishing than
the badness of good people and the
goodness of bad.'' cit is finer not to
suspect evil than to excuse it,
'sHard words break no bones, but
they often break hearts,
''It is impossible to be both jealous
and just
'.some people are like nettles. If
you do not want to be stung by them
you must either avoid or crush them. -
Speaking of those who are carried
away by impulse and have cause later
to regret their impetuosity. she said:
"The pleasure to be had out of making
a fool of ones self is at best but mo-.
meE tary."-Pall Mall Magazine.

wore black satin knickerbockers and
silk stocking at the court of st. James,
thereby vastly agitating the lorgnettes
of royalty. He seriously favors a black
satin coat with gold frogs down the
front, wide fringe of gold embroidery
around the hem, and valenciennes
saute around the wrists. This with
satin knickerbockers, silk stocking and
pumps, approximates the idea of Hay.
In this connection we have inspiring
visions of the imperial cabinet of
Mckinley dressed within an inch of its
life. What snobbery is this? What
an abject aping of the fuss and feathers
of royalty? Are not the black claw
hammers of our ancestors good enough

pride? Are gold frogs and silken
shanks more indicative of dignified
statesmanship than the old hunting
