There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. kilmer's Swamp

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
TO hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled TO go often
during the day, and TO get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

The Evolution of q Name.

Two men who happened to be jour
neying across a western state in the
same railway train became so well ac-
quainted with each other that when
they neared the station where one of
them was to get off they expressed
their mutual pleasure at having met
and exchanged business cards.
One of the cards bore this inscrip-
ton: "Geoffrey D'Arneille, Attorney at
Law. Williamyille, O."
"Williamville?" said the other man.
.'Why, l lived in that town when was

OLE Phil Knery a Hog.

P. D. Armour the first never bother
ed himself over the selection of Christ
mas presents for men in his employ.
His invariable expression of good will
was a suit of clothes, and some Of his
men had new suits every Christmas.
One year he asked all the men in the
office of one branch Of his business to
order suits and send the bills to him.
Most of them contented themselves
with good business clothes, but one
young man decided to adorn himself
sumptuously at Mr.. Armour's expense.
He ordered himself a frock coat, waist
coat and trousers that set his employer
back near a hundred dollars. Mr.. Ar
mour paid the bill, and then he sent for
the brash Solomon in all his glory.

Too Much Exercise.

A man may exercise himself into
uselessness. So much has been said in
recent years of the Importance of ex-
ercise that every one admits it save
now and then a wag, like Senator
Evarts of New York, who once said
that he owed his long life and good
health to the fact that he never took
any exercise. Many youth in taking
the exercise that pleases him discovers
that he has great skill at tennis or
baseball, bicycle racing or foot racing,
hurdle jumping or handsprings, and
the temptation is strong to neglect
other matters for the development Of
the particular physical facility with
which he may be endowed When he
yields he usually degenerates into a
professional athlete. Physical develop
ment becomes the end of his endeavor,
when it should be merely a help in 1T
ting him to do his work in the world

Is it not about time for women to
blow up for good and all that old hypo-
critical pretense of so many that they
don't have TO work for 4 living, but
just do it so as to have something
wherewith to put in the time? Where
this is really the case people don't say
anything about it. When hear wo-
man say she only works for entertain
nent I always think of the lady who
once told me she kept boarders "for
company At the same time it was
notable that she charged the highest
market price for the meagerest food
and accommodations. The thing for
women to be ashamed of is that they
do not do any work. Useful occupation
Is noble and praiseworthy. Every indi-
vidual owes it to the race to engage in
it. ELIZA ARCHARD CONNER.

near me-" She seated herself a hum
bred yards away, and for another
| twenty minutes Dave reflected upon
| the uncertainty of women in general
and of the woman he loved in particu-
| lar.
For want of better occupation he
searched along the shore for clans,
| finding few, but deciding after one
| taste that it would be better to look
| for berries. 1t was too late for berries
apparently, and there was another
pause and reflection. He had just de-
cided that it was as we'll that Nan
Carroll should not marry him when
that changeable young woman plump
I'd herself down upon the moss beside
| him.
why don't you talk?' she asked
cheerfully. ITS awfully lonesome
around here.
Tucker gasped, but for moment he
did not dare speak. When he found
words it was of casual affairs he
spoke, not of himself nor Of their pre-
dicament, and presently they were
chatting as merrily as though there
had been none of the stormy scenes of
the afternoon.
They were still talking when Of a
sudden they heard footsteps behind
them, and they sprang to their feet.
Just behind them was tall, clerical
man in blue oyeralls and checked cal
leo jumper.
Il hope l don't intrude," he said
| quizzically.
Are you Man Friday?" demanded
Nan. You see we are Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson Crusoe, and our boat is
wrecked, or at least hope it isl she
amended viciously.
II am sorry, Mrs. Crusoe," he said
falling in with her humor. Il am the
Rev. Philip Hardman of Boston, sum
mering on this island with my family"
Nan gasped. why didn't you think
of looking to see if there was any one
living here?' she demanded of Dave
"You told me it was deserted he
said defensiyely, land l supposed you
knew. | only came last night" he add
ed in explanation to the clergyman.
Mrs. Crusoe forgot to tell me about
the tide. and the boat foated away"
Come over and have tea" suggest
ed the clergyman Hospitality, land l
have a boat that will take you over to
the hotel
He strobe off, leading the way, and
Nan and Dave followed. Once or twice
she hummed softly to herself, and
Dave could have sworn it was the
wedding music from "Lohengrin." At
last, as he was helping her over a rock
which barred her path, she held his
hand in hers as she lightly dropped be-
side him.
Dave" she whispered, didn't he
say he was a clergyman?"
Dave nodded. 1.-THE Rev. Philip
Hardman,' he affirmed
1--WE could fool that gossiping crowd,
pretending we did it on purpose"
More than ever Dave maryeled at
the ways of woman, but they were
married before supper, for Dave ex-
planned to the clergyman that he was
afraid she might change her mind
again.

ShoWalter's Feat.

Under the caption Of aSnap Shots
at the Alexandria Convention, sThe
Louisiana School Review for April
contains this facetious reference to
Prof. D. B. Showalter, Ascension g
popular and efficient superintendent
OF public schools: 'ssupt. Showalter
has the unique distinction of being the
only member Of the association that
has never missed a convention. He
was too modest to boast of this fact in
his speech accepting the banner, but
we do not hesitate to blazon il 10
the world-it is quite a feat. and
deserves celebration = {Showalter,s
Feat!l He approached the frayed edge
OF hyperbole, however, when he stated
that he had the honor to be present
at the first meeting Of the association
fourteen years ago'-the actual time
having been but little more than twelve
years and three months! We are sorry
TO destroy this fiction, but it is lust as
we'll to face the facts and take a fresh
start.
