&c SEW TIC Point.

a former attorney general of the
United States, in Il recent article, tells
the following anecdotes of Mr.. Justice
Miller of the federal supreme court:
Judge Miller was very agreeable
man socially, but in the later years of
his life became somewhat impatient
upon the bench. He was no orator him.
self aud seemed to have an aversion to
all attempts at oratOry in court. | have
seen him on more than one occasion
disjoint with sharp questions a beauti-
fully prepared speech with which an
ambitious orator expected to charm
and captivate the court. One midsum-
mer day as it is said, he was holding
court in western state, and a lawyer.
whom we Will call Brown, was ad-
dressing him in Il long, rambling
speech. The judge listened and famed
himself and fidgeted about on the
bench for some time, and, finally. lean
ing over his desk. said in an audible
whisper, "Confound it Brown, come to
the point.
What pOint?' inquired the some
what astonished lawyer.
ANY point" responded the judge:
and. though the sequel does not appear,
it is probable that there was Il rapid
condensation of talk in that courtroom

DR.. KILMES's sWAMP-R00T
Is Not Recommended for Everything.
But II You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble 1t viii be Found lust the
Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the
mind, discourages and lessons ambi-
ton: beauty, vigor and cheerfulness
soon disappear when the kidneys
are out of order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so pre-
valent that it is not uncommon for IL
child TO be born afflicted
with weak kidneys. If the
child urinates to often, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or if,
when the child reaches an age when
it should be able to control the pas
sage, and 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 habit as most
people suppose.
So we find that women as well as
men are made miserable with kidney
and bladder trouble and both need
the same remedy. The mild and i'm
mediate effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t 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 testimonial letters re-
ceived from sufferers cured. In

Sentiment Concerning Which There
Is Considerable Humbug.
If there is one thing that makes me
a little wearier than another" said an
amateur cynic. Ill is TO hear Il man
boast that he never talks shop met
Il fairly eminent actor at a little gath
ering not long ago, ana when some
pleasant reference waS made he drew
himself yp and said, You will pardon
me, l am sure, but, really, make it i
rule never TO talk shop That remark
convinced two or three thick headed
hearers that he was sirgUlar'y free
from vanity, but it convinced the rest
OF US that he was a double dyed don
key and poseur of the purest ray
serene.
Every right minded man likes to
talk shop and does so whenever he
gets Il chance. Ii is that which makes
class clubs almost invariably Il sue
cess. The members are all interested
in the same thing and can talk shop ad
lib. without getting called down. One
of the redeeming features of matri-
mony is the fact that man secures a
helpless victim TO whom he can talk
shop every day of the year.
"When n chap is travelling as in
strange city, what joy it is to bump
up against somebody in ones same
line of business! 1t is like meeting Il
long lost brother! l have often thought
that the chief objection to being a
hangman is that there are so few per-
sons with whom fellow could chat
about the craft.
And yet it has grown to be fash
ion among people of eminence in all
the professions to affect a reluctance
to discuss the precise thing in which
each is most Interested They don't
like to talk shop! t'augh. Nobody
has any right TO make such an asser-
tion except a burglar in Il police sta

enced hobbledehoy thirsting for adven-
ture, ran away from home the other
day with 100 marks in his pocket De-
termined to see the world he booked
for Berlin, intending to surprise n
spinster aunt residing there, with
whom, however, he was not personally
acquainted. On reaching his destina-
ton he strolled about the city making
inquiries for Aunt Kathner's place of
abode.
A woman accosted him: What. you
are from Abbau! What is your name?"
On hearing it, she exclaimed: "Him-
mel! Why. then, I am your aunt; come
home with me-" Young Greenhorn did
her bidding, they supped together, and
he was sent to bed.
On awakening next morning lie dis
covered that his clothes and his money
were gone, and SO, too. was auntie. In
his despair he rushed to the window in
his nightshirt crying out his misfor-
tune to the passersby.
4 woman with an infant in her arms
responded to his appeal 81 will go
and find your auntie," said she, land
leave baby with you meanwhile"
Hours passed, with baby bowling for
sustenance.
At length constable came to
Johann's rescue with a suit of clothes,
and bundled him and ''his infant off
to the police station, where the inspec-
tor wired to the young mans father.
