calmly that he thinks her mind has
ceased to wander.

answers, smoothing ner hair gently
with his hand.
You'll not go out in the evening,
again, until l get well?"

What, love"
"Stoop down closer; l don't want
mother to hear; it will make her feel
so bad"
Inc father bends his ear close to the
lips of Mary. How lie starts and shud-

brief words

The grOans, impossible to repress,
that issued through the lips of Joe
Morgan, startled the ears of his wife,
and she came quickly to the bedside.
What is l.. WHAT is the matter,
Joe?" she inquired, with look of anX-
iety.
Hush, father. Don tell her. l
only said it to you" And Mary put
a finger on her lips, and looked mys-
ferrous. There, mother,-yOu go
away; you've got trouble enough, any
how. Don't tell her, father"
But the words, which came to him
| like a prophecy awOke such pangs of
fear and remOrse in the heart of Joe
Morgan, that it was impossible for him
to repress the signs of pain. For some
moments he gazed at his wife-then
STOPPING forward, suddenly, he buried
his face in the bed-clOthes, and sobbeI
bitterly.
A suggestion of the truth now fash
ed through the mind of Mrs Morgan,
sending a thrill of pain along every
nerve. Ere she had time to recover
herself, the low, sweet voice of Mary
broke upon the hushed air of the room
and she sung
Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as dOwny pillows are,
While on his breast lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly
there"

The cry of Father" has reached the

The question he bears distinctly, and

sober enough to have all his fears in

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day. and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-ROOt is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

The Missing Turk.

Sarah Bernhardt was once playing at
Marseilles in a spectacular play In
which she made her entree accompa-
MED by six Turkish slaves. A line on
the programme announced that these
six Turks would accompany Nine.
Bernhardt, but when the time came for
them to go on one of the youngsters
had disappeared. Sarah mustered the
five In order and made her entrance
with grand flourish. The house was
crowded, but not hand clap greeted
her as she appeared. Then still, small
voice in the gallery murmured some
thing in an indignant tone. Fifty
voices Immediately took up the strain,
and in ten seconds more the whole
house was shouting the same phrase.
Bernhardt strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about. She knew the phrase began
with "Manque," but the rest Of it was
lost In the general hubbub. For full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah, muttering things below her
breath, rushed like fury down to the
footlights. In the front row the ac-
tress had spotted one man who was not
taking part in the hullabaloo. Pointing
at him, the actress exclaimed sternly:
you seem to be the only sensible per-
son In the house. Tell me what on
| earth they are kicking up this row
forT
The man rose, bowed to the actress
and remarked in very bad American
French, Madame, you are shy one

Poison Proof People.


There are entire communities of poi
son proof people who partake of doses
ST white arsenic with as much zest as
the average person partakes Of meal.
Chief among these singularly gifted
people are the Syrian and Corinthian
shepherds who inhabit the districts Of
Lamprecht, salzburg, Hartberg, Leo
ben, Oberzetrung and the Erzgebirge
mountains. The sturdy mountaineers
consider that arsenic improves their
wind for channels climbing.
Some years ago DR.. Knapp put two
Of these men through their PAGES be-
fore the German Society of Physicians
assembled at Gratz. The one ate six
grains Of white arsenic, or enough to
kill three men, without experiencing
the slightest Inconvenience. The other
partook Of four grains of yellow arse
mic, or orpiment, with equal impunity.
1t was explained that, seeing the good
effect of the drug upon the coats and
condition of their f1ocks, many of these
shepherds start the practice under the
impression that taken In moderation 1t
is good for human beings also.
Usually started with a small weekly
dose spread upon bread and butter, the
embryo arsenic eater has to undergo a
very severe test Of his devotion to the
drug. Violent sickness and burning
pains accompany its first use, and the
drug speedily asserts its fatal power
over it's devotee
Any attempt to leave off the drug is
generally fatal. The women Of these
arsenic eating districts are famous for
their beautiful compilations and luxuri-

Stole n Whole Railroad.

From Grand Island, Neb, comes the
story, by way of the Chicago Tribune,
of the theft of an entire railroad-rails,
ties and rolling stock. 1t happened
that two lines controlled by different
companies ran for some distance side
by side. One Of the magnates, desiring
to build spur to his line, but feeling
deferred by the high price of steel, in
augurated bold policy. His men ran
an engine on to the enemy's track In
the dead of the night and slowly drew
away the entire number of cars owned
by the road. In the wake Of the train
the laborers stealthily removed the
rails and ties, and when day dawned
work had begun on the spur, ten miles
away. Owing to the difficulty in con-
vincing the judge that it was possible
to steal railroad in a single night the
president of the unfortunate line was
almost refused writ Of replevin for
bis property.
