THE WONDERFUL NEW DISCOVERY.
As Proof Of Its Marvellous Merits Every Reader Of the ei
gencer May Have Sample Bottle Sent Abso-
lutely Free BY Mail

Statistics prove that more people ore
brought to the grave by diseases OF the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For years medical science has been
trying to discover some remedy that
would positively overcome these dan
gerous troubles. But not until recently
wns the discovery made. DR.. Kilmer,
the eminent kidney and bladder spe-
clalist. after years OF study and re-
search. and after test on test that never
varied in the grand result, announced
the discovery of Swamp Root, which
has proven itself most wonderful
cure for all diseases OF the kidneys
and bladder.
The immediate symptoms and first
proofs of weak kidneys IRE pain or dull
ache in the back, rheumatism. dizzl-
ness, headaches, nervousness, heart
trouble, pain in the limbs, bloatlng.
sallow complexion, puffy or dark cir
cles under the eyes. bladder irritation.
suppression OF urine. obliged to pass
water often day and night. WORKOUT,
tired feeling, lack of ambition.

main undlsturbcd in glass or bottle
for twenty-four hours, forms sedl-
ment or settling, or has cloudy ap-
pearance, II Is evidence that your kid
neys and bladder need Immediate at
tertion.
Swamp-Roo has been tested in so
many ways. in hospital work. in pri-
vate practice, among the helpless too
poor to purchase relief, and has proved
SO successful In every case, that spe-
c!al arrangement has been made by
which all readers Of the Ineelligencer, .
who have not already tried 1t, may
have 4 sample bottle sent absolutely
free by mail. Also book telling more
about Swamp-Root and containing
some of the thousands upon thousands
OF testimonial letters received from

boss" They come and go when they
please. While many have regular cor
ners and news stands, others merely
walk the streets, each having his own
peculiar way of crying" out his own
papers.
The situation is quite different on
Sunday. The papers are printed in the
morning and by six o'clock the boys
are out in search of buyers.
There are four English Sunday pa
pers. Many boys take out 300 papers.
A boy taking from 200 to 300 papers,
has all he can do to get over the
ground.
Sundays as on week days finds the
POST DISP ATCH everywhere. It's a
ready seller. It's the most for the mon
ey. The Sunday POST DISPATCH
has many original and exclusive fea-
lures, including the Colored Comic
Weekly.
These great newspaper offices have
what is called a Circulation Depart
ment," the object of which is to pro-
mote the sale of The papers. This de-
partment answers all requests for sam
pie copies (Which are sent free), and so
on. In the country, as in st. Louis,
they are constantly looking for agents
(boys and men to represent them)
This is done by the aid of travelling
men and correspondence. All letters
are promptly answered. 1t is pleasant
work, especially in the towns outside
of st. Louis. Boys in the outside
towns are not called newsboys, but
agents.
More money is made outside of St.
Louis because the selling price is more
and the profit greater
If you would like to- bs an agent for
the Post Dispatch in fM city write to
the circulation dep}Nhent of Post
Dispatch, st. Louis.

Since Joseph Choate's appointment

Many anecdotes were told of the late
Judge Cox, of the District Bench of
Washington, ID. c. One of them will
bear recalling. A young lawyer de-
Tending a criminal before him, and
whose idea of eiOquence seemed to
consist in continually calling upon the
Creator, concluded with this remark
able perOratiOn: 81 ask your honor for
Gods sake to have mercy on my
client" The judge adjusted his spec
tacles, asked for the papers, examined
them with much deliberation, and then
said: "The plea for mercy for Gods
sake can not be entertained by the
court. After a CAREFUL examination
of the papers do not find that God is
a party to the record in this case."
II don't like friend to d0mineer
over me-" said the young man with the
patient disposition.
"Who has been doing that?"
"My room mate. He borrowed my
evening clothes"
"Thats good deal of liberty"
81 don't mind it. But when he asked
me for my umbrella, L told him 1
might use it myself. But he got it just
the same"
"HOw?"
"He simply stood on his dignity and
said: All right; have your own way
about it. They're your clothes that
I'm trying to keep from getting spoiled,
not mine."

BOYS SEE THE POINT.
They Make Big Money. Make 1t
Easy. No Capital Invested.
How They Do 1t.

There are several thousand boys and
hundreds of men engaged in st. Louis
in buaineSs that brings weekly pro-
fit of from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t is the
selling of weekly papers. Hundreds
of families live comfortably on the pro-
fits of the sales of the daily newspa-
ers.
In st. Louis the favorite newspaper
with the boys is the POST DISPATCH
because it sells best. An investigation
has shown that the boys sell more cop
les of the daily POST-DISPATCH
than the combined sales of the two 9TH
er English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys find in
selling papers is they are their "own

FALL OF ~.

Upon the streets of a western town
Hard by the white Horse mine.
l found myself with just ten bucks
In the fall of 80.
And down the street diScOnSOlate
walked with careless stride,
Until found at the Palace door,
An old chum at my side.
Come. have a nip said he, ''old man
Have something good to take!
Brace up and try to worry down.
A glass for your Stomach'S sake
"Well. now like your style, said l.
Its rather in my line
And so we cinked and drank it down
In the fall of 'S9.
The Turing click of poker chips
Came family from the rear.
And the smell of smoke was intermiXed
With the Odor of stale beer.
Two men We're seated at the green
And they had lots of tin
And all they seemed to do was just
To hold the cards and win.
The devil iii the whiskey or
The wjtchery in the swine,
Made every ace look like two pair
In the fall of SO.
''Stud-poker'' was the game they played -
My hand was on my roll:
] felt that would surely get
Two aces in the hole.
The "tenner" in my pocked seemed
A creeping up my spine;
So spent it for stack of reds
In the fall of 80.
The fun began - the cards went round.
My second was jack.
And made pair with my ''hOle card
SO bet just half my stack
They all dropped out but one, and he
just eyed me with disdain.
And cody called my bet and so
The cards came round again.
An ace to me - d tray to him.
Which made pair in sight -
felt ny knees were getting weak
My head was growing light.
A jack to me i seven to him
A smile stole DER my lips,
i had three jacks and so l just
Showed in my other chips.
The last cards fell - a seven to him -
But was not dismayed.
To see against my lovely jacks
Two little pairs arrayed.
felt that now my time was come
To win my money back;
So with a smile of triumph
Turned DER my other jack.
You should have seen that gamblers face.
thought him turning blue.
Since then I've found out my mistake
That's not the way they do.
He turned his card and there displayed
To my horror stricken gaze,
The fatal hand that won the pot
A ''seven-full-On-trays."
He took my cash with easy grace.
And smile almost Benign
And that is how he ''busted" me
In the fall of 80.

The second week Of refined vaudeville
was inaugurated yesterday at the Grand
Opera House by the presentation of one
OF the most thoroughly enjoyable enter
tainments ever given a local audience The
programme offered-a short one-bears the
names of no less than five exceptional peo-
pie while the remaining numbers are con-
tributed by men and women in no way be-
low the average. Probably the most OBJ
jectionable feature of the show was in
the fact that many performers who could
have worked much further front or at least
have begun before "spIit-in- -one" were
given the whole stage, and that in conse-
quence there were long intermssions be-
tween every act. This fault will be rene

The most delightful feature of the bill is
Lillian Burkhart's skit, "A Passing Fan
cy" In this charming sketch is intro
duced a great part of the humor and pa
thos often distributed through an entire
play. while the staging and care given de-
tail in the production are only equaied in
vaudeville by Felix Morris. Miss Burkhart
appears IN Worth gown, and charms with
her dantness, her thorough refinement,
her vivacity. and her magnetism. The lit
tie drunken scene in the piece is charm
ingly given and in manner most free
from cCaTseness or suggestion. James Nc

himself too seriously but is nevertheless
