Kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a arrangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and scald-
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity Of being compelled to
go often during the day, and 10 get UP many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures Of the most distressing cases.

Still another national holiday is
proposed. Congress has been asked
to declare the day on which Colum-
bis discovered America, a national
holiday. A bill has been introduced
to this effect, but it is not likely to
become law, as the lawmakers will
doubtless look at the matter in the
same light as all fair-minded persons
should. We have holidays enough
now.

The following story in connection
with the early life of two of the most
eloquent preachers in the United
States, Rev. Chas. E. Jefferson OF
New York and Rev. Frank Gunsaulus
of Chicago, is so interesting that we
give it place here
In his younger days DR.. Jefferson,
with the Rev. Frank Gunsaulus, the
well known preacher, was studying
law in the office of a prominent at
torney of Worthington, o. Their
chief was firm believer in the i'm
portance offamiliarity wit the Scrip
lures as preparation for the law,
saying that juries were oftener won
by happy Biblical quotation than
in any other way. Accordingly he
gave the two young men six months
to become familiar with the Bible,
saving that at the end of that time if
they did not come up to the required
mark they could not remain in his
Office. The story runs that the
young clerks became so absorbed in
their enforced task that they aban-
doned the law altogether and entered
the ministry.

The Bulb Industry

A Washington dispatch says that at
a meeting of the cabinet few days ago
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson told
the president and cabinet that there is
a prospect that the state of Washing
ton will soon be able to supply the
United States with Dubious plants,
lilies, jonquils, etc., such as are now be-
ing imported from Holland at great
expense. He discovered places in the
state west of the Cascades where they
are being cultivated by immigrants
from Holland, and experiments recent
ly made by department agents Demon
strate the feasibility of cultivating the
plants on large scale. The cost to
the department alone for such plants
each year is about $5,OOO.n
The bulb industry in this state had
its inception on Orcas island, where
the experiments OF Geo. Gibbs proved
the adaptabilty of our soil and climate
to bulb growing. He now has bulb
gardens at Clearbrook, Whatoom coun-
ty, and fine bulbs are also grown near
old Fort Bellingham.

THE BURIAL OF DE SOTO

[The following poem was written by two
young ladies of Orcas island, whose names are
withheld from publication at their request
Ed
De Soto landed at Tampa Bay
And tramped the swamps for many day.
After battling with natives dark
He launched his i'll a birchen bark,
And sailed along DER the waters blue;
Of the fame he was winning he little knew.
DER the Father of Waters their boat did glide,
While they looked for gold on either side.
Sorrow and suffering oft they met,
Toll and privation; but not yet
Was their work accomplished. But one
From out the company he had known,
Was called from Death to the other Shore,
To be free from trials evermore.
And one sad night when all was still,
Save the boot of an owl on a distant hill,
His comrades in the birchen bark
Lowered his form to the waters dark
OF the river he loved so we'll.
No kravestone marks mis- resting place
No earthly tribute add to his peace;
But the words OF comrade in that sad hour
Will finger in memory evermore:
Meath the placid waters of this river grand
Rests De Soto, illustrious leader of sorrowing
band"

James ]. Jeffries has done with ac-

Hotel Metropole in Oakland, fit and
ready for Friday nights big battle,
says a correspondent of the S. F.
Call.
Locking the picture of rugged man

a crowd of his admirers, among which
were George Siler, the noted Chicago
sport, who refereed the big Corbett-
titzsinmons fight at Carson City
when jeff was one of Corbett's train
ers. Seven weeks were spent at the
Lake county resort, portion of which
time was give up to recreation and
deer hunting.
In conditioning himself for the ap-
preaching fight with Corbett Jeffries

simmons. Joe Kennedy, the clever

brother, Jack. Long, v.ta.ity-sappins

AS a consequence he will probably
enter the ring heavier than ever be-
fore. The object of this was To give
speed, and Manager Billy Delaney
thinks the desired quality has been
acquired. These changed methods
caused stories to be spread that JEFF
ries was dissipating, but there was
little or no foundation for them. Spec
tators at the Pavilion tonight will
see vastly improved fighter over
the man who defeated Rubin ane

Trying to Recover His Drift

ERIE, Pa, August I3.-The Silver
Spray, a fishing boat, owned here,
came into port this afternoon in
badly shattered condition, owing to
an encounter in mid-lake about noon
with the Canadian revenue cutter
Petrel.
The Canadian authorities have for
years had trouble with the American
fishermen poaching ON the Canadian
side of the lake, and the Petrol is
kept constantly on the lookout for
tkem. At noon she came upon the
Silver Spray on the Canadian side CT
the lake, and at once ordered Captain
Chris Chau to stop. The Petrol is a
strong steel craft and, it is said, at
tempted to ram the American boat
before she could comply with the or
de- to stop. Captain Chau decided to
attempt to escape, and started ahead
at full speed.
The Petrol then opend fire with all
of her guns and about twent shots
struck the Silver Spray. Two shots
struck the pilot-house in which Cap
tain Chau stood at the wheel. One
came within a few inches Of the cap
tain, scattering a myriad of splinteTs
around his head.
That no one was killed is remark
able. as two shots struck the cabin.
! two the roof, three the after hurri-
cane deck and the others various parts
! of the boat.
The chase was kept up for some
time, but when Captain Chau got
across the boundary line the Petrol
gave ~ the chase.
The only man wounded on the Sill
Yer Spray was Roderick Culver, who
was hit in the leg by shot. He is
now il TIE hospital.
The fishermen say the Petrol use1
her small deck cannon.
Captain CAau will report the affair
to the state department in Washing
ton, as he says he was only looking
for some of his nets which had drifted
from this side toward the Canadian
shore.
