 Confidence and the Horse.
 Most vices in horses may be attributed b men, says writer in The New iork Tribune Farmer. Bad drivers. in large majority of cases, are responsible tor or runaway horses. A good driver is he who secures the confidence of the horses he drives or handles. The tender, sem e Is in comm communication nj a with the driver. And the will of the one Is governed py the will of the other.> The horse cheer fully submits to the superior Judgment pf the driver. He feels safe, and de- bends on the judgment of his driver. in whom he has implicit confidence; On the other hand, the uncertain. doubtful, urea. frightened driver distracts and frightens him. and the horse. becoming fearful and furious, rushes with impetuosity to danger and destruction. How many races Hiram Woodruff won by sheer will pow or nobody knows, but that he knew better than the horses he drove their ability to win his winnings prove. The first lesson Hiram Woodruff taught his horses was, that he was their friend and master. And implicit obedience was demanded and as promptly yielded. NO man or woman is fully competent to drive or ride a spirited horse unless mutual confidence besween rider and horse are fully established. The timid hand of doubt and fear is instantaneously transmitted through the reins to the mouth of the horse. and he becomes wild with uncertainty and fear and wreck or ruin follows.

But if You Have Kidney, Liver or Bladder Trouble, You Will Find Swamp-RO0t
 Just the Remedy You Need.

It used to be considered that only urin- ary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder or these most important organs.
 The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work.
 Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected. and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty.
 If you are sick or feel badly" begin taking, the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help al, the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.

PILLSBURY CAUGHT.
Higginson's Fleet Surrounds
Hostile Ships.
END OF THE NAVAL WAR GAME.
After Four Days and Nights of Sleep
less Watching White Commander
Could Not Get Through
Blues Defense.

ROCKpORT, Mass, Aug. 25.-The
naval search problem on the New Eng
land coast was terminated at an early
hour by the signal surrender demand
ed; unconditional" from Rear Admi-
raj Hlgginson's flagship and the reply,
accept surrender" from the fore
truck of the Prairie, Commander Pills
bury's flagship. The battle between
the blue, or defending, squadron and
the white, or attacking, squadron was
thus quickly ended eight miles south
of Thatchcr's island. The enemy had
most signally failed to make Il harhor
having for its objective Salem. A pre-
ponderance of fighting strength. rela
lively GI points. represented by the
battleships Kearsargc. Alabama and
Massachusetts, Scorpion and Il torpedo
boat, had overwhelmed the 40 points
represented by the auxiliary cruisers
Prairie, Panther and Supply.
To speak from theoretlc standpoint
the white squadron was entirely de-
stroycd by the guns of the defending
battleships. Thus on the fourth night
the game Of naval strategy was
brought to an end, ii having covered
period of unceasing toll. sleepless
nights of anxious and wearing vigil
and of grave uncertainty to its partici-
pants.
The capture came at the end of
night filled with rumors as to the loca-
ton of the attacking squadron. At
$3.50 p. IN. the three battleshlps of Hig-
ginson got under way in hurry and
sailed to the eastward The intention
was to move on to Portland, and if
that had been carried out Admiral
Higginson, as it later developed would
have unconsciously swung the balance
of his fighting force to that end of the
coast line, as Pillsbury had intended he
should, but which was not done on ac-
count of heavy seas running outside
Cape Elizabeth. Higglnson, however,
detected his course back to Gloucester
after swing seaward in response to
n report that the enemy had not been
sighted when it was believed she had
been but in the last hours of the night

How many Americans know that the
first exploration for the route of the
Panama canal was made by II. de la
Serna as far back as 1527-2s? Many
different explorations followed. and
suggestions from various quarters.
but nothing definite was done until
De Lesseps formulated his famous
scheme This was opposed by the
United States. Americans then want
ed the canal to go through Nicaragua.
and this plan was favored by Gen.
Grant in 1879. But nothing was done.
Says lIarper's Encyclopedia of the
United States: "In 1884 the people Of
the United States and France sub
scribed large sums toward n French
company, headed by Count de Lesseps,
of Suez canal fame, which announced
its intention of cutting canal
through the isthmus of Panama" The
subsequent financial catastrophe is
well known. In 1899 the Panama Canal
Company of America was incorporated
with capital of S3O,0O0o0o, 1t was
then estimated that II would cost $780,
100000 TO complete the canal.

COMMANDER PILLSBURY.

from the outside and, as it proved,
right under the very guns of the de-
Tending squadron. Commander Pills
bury, when still out to sea, after ma
neuvering, headed straight for Salem
harbor, but the desired vantage point
was never reached.
At this time the officer on the deck
of the Kearsarge was Lieutenant Ray
Stone, with Midshipman William Dill
worth Puleston as the junior officer in
command. In contrast to others the
morning was clear and star bright.
On the bridge dozen tackles stood
on the lookout. One of these was
Daniel Staehle, an apprentice of the
first class. He stood well forward,
peering on the lee side. The flagship
was just falling down into trough
when he notified the ensign mt his
side that he could see the enemy"
The officer of the deck called Flag
Lieutenant Evans and Flag Secretary
Bistol, and it was but the work of
moment to inform Admiral Higgin-
son of the probability that the time
for decisive action was mt hand.
1t was real war then. General quar-
ters were sounded. There was II quick
rush of many feet, the manning of
hundred posts, the clank of the an
chor chain, the ringing of bells, the
giving of orders and n general clear
ing for action. Not many moments
passed before the flagship was under
way steaming at fourteen knots, with
the Alabama and Massachusetts, many
lengths in the rear. Some distance
back was the Barney, rapidly over
hauling the ships ahead.
At $40 a. III. the three battleships,
aided by the converted yacht Scorpion,
which had chased in from the south
in time to be in at the finish, and the
Barney, which had overtaken the fleet.
formed a horseshoe about the white
squadron. The elation among the men
on board the blue squadron ran high.
There was something pathetic in the
picture when Commander Pillsbury,
after he had signaled his surrender,
passed in his barge from the Prairie,
walked up the starboard gangway of
the Kearsarge and offered his sword to
Admiral Higginson.
keep your sword, sir" said the
senior officer, his voice quaverlng Il
bit in spite of himself. 81 would not
accept the sword from 50 gallant
foe."
"And |, sir" responded Pillsbury,
with dignity, could not surrender to
nobler or better officer. sir"

Crentcdn n vcw volcano.

AS sequel to the recent earth
quakes in Sardinia an enormous
chasm has been opened in the earth,
while the surface has bulged into n
hill of considerable elevation, from
which stones and masses of earth
are projected. There are also symp-
toms that the interior of the hill is
in an ebullient condition. Scientists
incline to the belief that the phe-
nomena observed are volcanic. An
other consequence of the earthquake
is that Lake San,o, near Modena,
which was about 500 yards long and
100 wide, has completely disappeared.

at any moment, and yet his end was
somewhat unexpected.
Around the deathbed were gathered
three of General Sigers sons, Robert,
Paul and Rudolph, and his daughter,
Mrs. Leila Schehl, who has made her
home with General Sigel since her hus-
bands death.
The general was quite conscious al
most to the last and was able to recog-
nize and converse with those gathered
around him. When the final moments
came, he sank into Il deep sleep.
General Sigel was credited with do
ing more than any other person to
keep Missouri in the Union during the
civil war. Conspicuous in the mill
tary career of the dead general were
his brilliant, mastery retreats when
outnumbered by the enemy.
Born in Germany, General Sigel re-
ceived military education there. He
never returned to Germany after com
ing to this country at the conclusion of
the German revolution, although he
was granted special amnesty in 1868.
He came to this country in 1852, went
to st. Louis and at the outbreak of the
civil war organized n regiment of in
fantry and a battery. The Germans
fiocked to him. He fought conspicu-
ously throughout the war, taking part
in all the principal engagements.
In 1867 he came to this city, and in
1871 he was appointed collector of in
ternal revenue and later was elected
register. He was pension agent under
Cleveland in 1896.

WOMEN WHO WEAR WELL 1t is aston.
,hng how great a change few years of
married life will make IN the appearance
and disposition Of many women. The fresh
ness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like
the bloom from a. peach which is rudelv
handled. The matron is only dim shadow,
a faint echo Of the charming maiden. There
are two reasons for this change, ignorance
and neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the change
which comes with marriage. Many neglect
to deal with the unpleasant drains which are
often consequent on marriage and mother
hood, not understanding that this secret
drain is robbing the cheek Of its freshness
and the form of its fairness. As surely as
the general health suffers when there is de-
ranrcment Of the health OF the delicate
womanly organs, so surely when these
organs are established in health the face and
form at once witness to the fact in renewed
comeness. Half million women and
more have found health and happiness in
