1 wrote to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, at Binghampton, N Y, for a free sample bottle of Swamp Root, and it's effect upon me was so noticeable that I bought a supply. and after taking a few bottles of Swamp-Root l had entirely recovered, and in just six months I became the man you see me now. I had kidney trouble, aggravated by bladder trouble. Was obliged to pass water often day and night, had back ache, and was run down generally. A few bottles of this remedy did more for me than @ dozen physicians could.

1 am a firm believer in that wonderful remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. It's great med icine when man is not feeling well; after exposure or loss of sleep and irregular meals. It is also a great medicine to tone up and regulate a man. There is such a pleasant taste to it and it seems to go right to the spot. l use it and recommend it. There is more Swamp-Root used by Kansas City firemen than any other medicine twice over.

I cheerfully give my endorse ment to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, which I sincerely believe from my own experience, stands at the head of all known cura- tives for kidney, liver and blad- der troubles.
 My own cure and also my per sonal observation during years of service in the Toledo Fire Department, have convinced me that Swamp-Root is a medicine of wonderful merit. I have seen many who had been pronounced incurable, speedily restored to health by Swamp Root.

The Cowartiice Of Wild Animals.


All animals are towards, according
to the agents, says Lawrence Perry,
writing OH the wild Beast Traffic" in
Leslie's Monthly. Unless tiger, or
lion, or indeed any wild beast, has
tasted human blood, he is quite ready
to let you go your way If you will let
him go his. In captivity, the animal
agents say you may enter any cage
provided you have your whip with
lead bullet on the end of your hand,
and provided also that you know how
to use it effectively. But the least let
up in vigilance means destruction. You
might tend an animal for years, and
have him know you well, but that
would not insure you against an attack
from him the first chance that offered.
The lion is the only animal that is ca
pable of affection. A few years of as
sOciatiOn with lion, one agent, de-
clared, will in many cases insure you
a dog-like affection, but even in lion
this affection may not be too greatly
relied ON. A leopard is the worst cow
ard Of all, and that is the reason why
so many female animal tanners use
them in their exhibitions.

oh, that was big enough for two or
three for it had lasted four whole

felt choked when he thought of Mar

mamma would look when she knew
he was not going. OF course he could
not go to the party Of a girl to whom
he would not speak. And he had told

Irving thought Of this with tiny
sigh. for they had been such friends.
He knew that Lyndon and Jamie and
Rob and Rupert were ali going to Mar
jorie's party. and what would people
think to have him stay away?
Irving was thinking all this as he
was on his way to the other end of the

he did not, as they passed; but the
next instant he turned round, and
queerly enough-the little girl turned
too. Irving hurried on, his face very
red; but he went only few steps.
Then he stopped short. 1t was raining
faster, and Marjorie would get so wet!
Perhaps she would take cold and be
sick. He looked back. She was rpn-

"Marjorle!' he called.
She did not hear

She turned. and saw him speeding
toward her, the umbrella bobbing wild

She smiled into his face as he came
up.
How It rains!' she said.

SALISBURY DEAD.
Eneland's Famous Premier Passes
Away After a Long
Illness.

London, Aug. 23.-Lord Salisbury
died peacefully at 9:05 o'clock last
night. During the preceding As hours
the end was seen to be jnevi able, the
life OF Engalnd's ex-premer being sus
tanned only by the constant use of oxy-
gen. Even the use of oxygen failed OF
effect as the evening advanced, and
soon after dark he quietly bleathed his
last.
The village of Hatfield, which still
retains many customs of the feudal pc
riod, was filled with anxious residents
awaiting he news OF his lordship's de-
mise. The great Hatfield house, hidden
behind the screen of pines, was lighted
at every window and gave no sign of
the approaching fatality. Groups of
watchers clustered under the Elizabeth
an arches of the lodge gates, anxiouslv
questioning each passenger from Hat
field hou1e. Later the news came when
a hatless servant dashed down the gray
eled roadway, saying as he passed "He
has gone' and then disappeared in the
church. Soon thereafter the bell from
che tower above tolled slowly, and the
villagers at the street corners uncOv-
cred in acknowledgment of the passing
OF their neighbor and friend, England's
great statesman.
Nscount Cranbourne, who now as
sumes the title of Marquis OF Salisbury,
Immediately notified King Edward and
Others, including Lord Edward Cecil,
the soldier son of Lord Salisbury, who
is row in Egypt, and who was the only
son of the marquis absent from the
deathbed
Soon mess ages of coincidence began
coming in, and the little telegraph
Office at Hatfield was swamped with
unprecedented business.
The death of Lord Salisbury occurred
on the tiftieth anniversary OF his entry
into public life as member of the
house OF commons for Stanford. The
death of Lord Salisbury places an order
of Knight of the Garter at the disposal
of King Edward.
