it was for all time, and although they
fought grandly, heroically and nobly as
ever men fought, without an equal, ex-
cept by the Americans opposed to them,
they acknowledged their cause lost, ac-
cepted the terms, returned to their first
love and are now loyal to old Glory
What more can we ask?
Il would like to inquire after my old
friend Uncle Snow Ball. Has he died. or
is he in the hospital, or has he married
and quit the army? Now. Mr.. Editor,
is it not about time that Isl and Shorty
got out of the service, married, settled
down, got the "rumatiz," and tried for a
pension? If they have as hard a time
getting their claims allowed as some old
soldiers have had under some of our for
mer Commissioners, and the delays are
all published, there will be but few of us
living when they receive the report re
jected' from the Bureau. However, we
all nope to live to see the end of the story.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DIR. kilmer's Swamp
Root. the great kidney and bladder REM
edy, fulltils every wish in curing rhenma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. 1t corrects inability TO hold
water and scaldins pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomcS that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 20 often
during the day. and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. Ii stands the highest for its
wonderful cures OF the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty
cent and one-dCllar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root and 4 book that tells more
about it. both sent absolutely free by
