A Small Schoolgirl Gets the Hero OF
Manila Into a bad
Mix Up.

One of the most popular of the young pro
fessors in the male high school tells an
amusing little story on a small, up-tO-date
schoolgirl. She went to one of these dis
trict schools over which cousin of the
professor presides. 1t is usual to have WIS.,
itors at the building now and then, who
ask the scholars questions and see that
everything is in good shape. One day not
so long since 4 party of callers came in and
requested the pupils to write the answers to
several questions propounded them. One of
these questions was: Tell what you know
about Admiral Dewey's great fight"
The children set to work figuring on their
answers, but the teacher noticed one of the
girls did not make a move to do so.
why don't you write your answer to tSS
question:" she demanded of the idle pupil
faint no use" was the slow response.
81 don't know nothing about it"
But" demonstrated the teacher, you
must try, anyhow; you must not sit there
idle while the others are doing the best
they can. See if you cannot think of some
thing, my dear
No use" protested the pupil. "All know
is that Dewey and Corbett fought, and l
don't know which whipped, and don't care
either"

How n JOshinE Judge Sailed Down
a Delightfully."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoot Nisscher tells this char
acteristic story Of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men TO be ex-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was so
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot Of Grim
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch of
culprits TO be sentenced, the judge looked
COmpasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said:
In consideration Of the youth and in
experience of this prisoner i shall let him of
with a fine Of $50
Before the Judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man CoOliy stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remaTking nonchalantly
as he did so:
That's all hunky, judge; I've got that
much right here in my jeans
And one year in the penitentiary," con-
,luded the judge. Then looking over at the
convict in a quIzzical sort of way, he added:
DO you happen to have that in your jeans"

You are in no danger of being sick if
you keep your kidneys well.
They filter your blood, keep it pure
and free from disease breeding germs.
Your other organs may need care, but
your kidneys most, because they do
most.
If you are sick, begin with your kid
neys, because as soon as they are well
they will help all the other organs to
health.
The treatment of some diseases may
be delayed without danger, not so with
kidney disease.
Swamp-Root is the great medical tri-
umph of the nineteenth century; dis
covered after years of untiring effort
and research by the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, DR.. Kilmer, and
has truly wonderful healing action on
the kidneys and bladder.
1t will be found by both men and
women just what is needed in all cases
of kidney and bladder disorders, lame
back, dull pain or ache in the back,
gravel catarrh of the bladder, rheuma-
tism, sciatica, neuralgia, uric acid trou-
bles and Bright's Disease, which is the
worst form of neglected kidney trouble.
Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold
water and promptly overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day and to get
up many times during the night.

FACTS FOR TRAVELLERS.

On German railways freight brings
II 6S per cent. of all receipts, and costs
only 80 per cent. of all expenses.
Spain has only 7,54s miles of railroad
in her whole territory, or little over
four miles TO every 10000 inhabitants.
Only 20 years have elapsed since tie
first railway in the world was finished.
During that comparatively brief period
400, 900 miles have been constructed.
A commission appointed to investi-
gate railroads in Wisconsin reported
that, with one exception, the dining
and buffet-car service was not paying
investment.
The smallest train ever built for the
conveyance of passengers is that made
by Thomas McGarigle, of Niagara Falls.
The locomotive weighs 600 pounds, has
cylinders two inches by four inches,
and driving-wheels ten inches in diam
eter. The top of the chimney is about
two feet above the rails. With pres
sure of 125 pounds to the square inch,
Il will haul ten two-seated cars, with
passengers-a total load of nearly two
tons. The gauge of the line is 1874
inches, and its length is about one-fifth
of a mile. The boiler of the engine
holds u gallons.

The dam is curious in being formed
partly of steel plates. A masonry foun-

gap, and masonry abutments are built
on each side, and the center and main
portion is steel frame faced with steel

Gentlemen-For years l have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh. which
has gone through my whole system, and
no one knows the torture and misery
have passed through. My doctor has
prescribed various remedies, and Ihave
never found any relief until l was per
suaded by friend to use DR.. Hartman's

feel like a new man. 1t also cured me

pleasure in recommending your great
medicine. Very respectfully.

Everything that affects the welfare Of
the people is a legitimate subject Of
comment to the real statesman. The
statesman is not narrow man. 1t is
the politician who is narrow. The true
statesman looks out on the world as it
is, and seeks, as far as is in his power. to
remedy evils and encourage the good.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapid
ly becoming national curse. An I'M
doubted remedy has been discovered by
DR.. Hartman. This remedy has been
thoroughly tested during the past forty
wears. Prominent men have come to
know of its virtues and are makingpu
lie utterances on the subject. To save
the country we must save the people.
To save the people we must protect
them from disease. The disease that is
at once the most prevalent and stub
born of cure is catarrh.
