 Bladder troubles almost always result from derangeinent of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.

The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

Number Nine on Wall Street.
Seven has long been considered a
talismanic number, but, so far. as Wall
street is concerned, it would seem as
if the number is of more import
ance.
1t was on May 8, 1901, that Wall
street saw great corner and panic,
Northern Pacific stock on that day
rushing up to $1,000 share and prices
of other stocks smashing down 30 or
40 points, bringing wreck and ruin to
thousands.
That was great bear day. Sept. 9,
1902, was great bull day, for on that
date, which marked the apogee of the
so-called Gates boom in stocks, the
highest level of prices for railroad
securities that Wall street has ever
seen was touched. So far this year
the heaviest day of trading in stocks
was on Jan. 9, which was alsoza big

ing the pictures, relics of the civil war,
etc. During the tour mentioned my
attention was particularly attracted
to the portrait of what took to be
very handsome brunette. I inciden-

young lady was quite pretty, when,
with a low chuckle, he replied, Yes,
quite pretty, but as a matter of fact
the picture represents John Randolph
of Roanoke at 49, You also smile,
but let me explain how l was caught.
The hair was parted in the middle and
neatly combed back of the ears; the
features were of purely feminine
mold, and the expression of the
eyes and face was so shy and bashful

I was deceived. One can hardly con-

Witness Had Right to Complain About
Loss Of His Teeth.
A little tale is told about the prose-
cution of William F. Blake, for assault
upon one McTernan. It is true story,
but is good enough to be fiction.
Mr.. McTernan had detailed at some
length how he had gone into the
saloon at No. 1886 Westminster street.
at the request of Mrs. Margaret Col
bert on the evening OF Feb. %; how
he had been attacked, as he alleged,
by William F. Blake, and had had
quartet of teeth completely dislodged
by a blow from the defendants fist;
how he had then been kicked in the
side thrice, and how he had borne it
all without lifting his hands to defend
himself. On the face of it up to that
point the narrative sounded like one
of aggravated assault. 49,.
Then Harry P. Cross took the wit
ness in hand to .cross-examine him.

the City of Paris and the City of New
York. This almost evenly matched
quartet were still striving for suprem-
acy when the Cunard company sent
along the then unmatched Lucania
and Compania. These elbowed all
the rest aside and were having rec
ords very much their own way when,
suddenly, a German competitor ap-
peared-one with the imposing name
of Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
It was not known what this new
champion was to do, but she showed
it on her first trip, crossing the bar
with three broken records in her
wake-that for sustained high speed
during the voyage, for the best single
days run and for the fastest maiden
trip ever made across the Atlantic
Following this vessel came the
Deutschland, and then the speedy
Kronprinz Wilhelm, both of which
made a few records of their own in
the way Of speed.
And now comes from a German
shipyard this third racer, vessel
for which the unequaled speed of
tWenty-four knocks an hour is claimed.
Forty thousand is the indicated
horse power of the new champion. To
give an idea of this steam wrought
energy, it has been estimated that in
order to obtain a like force by
human effort 100000 men would each
have to move 165 pounds a distance
| of feet 33s inches per second.
To supply this power to the en-
gines nineteen boilers have been
placed in the vessel, these having a
total heating surface of 107,639
square feet, equivalent to two and a
half acres. The bunker capacity is
$500 tons, a quantity sufficient to
supply $500 families with fuel for a
fortnight, but fed into the glowing
nav Of this huge vessel the quantity
is insufficient for even one round trip
between New York and Bremen.
