What To Do.
There is comfort III the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every 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 it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for it's wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

IN A HAUNTED CHAMBER.

This, relates the New York Sun, is the
tale she brought home of the haunted
chamber of the English country house:
1T was late in November" she said,
when l went to stop for few days
with Lady C, in Kent. The Pines
was renowned old place both for hos
pitality and picturesqueness.
The house, a two-story rambling
structure which stood in among the
great pine trees and was almost covered
with Ivy, was haunted, so every one
said. Two little girls had been brutally
murdered some hundred years before;
their cries could be heard at twilight,
and sometimes the little figures were
seen in the library, also hurrying
through the corridors.
The servants we're afraid to pass the
library at that hour. AS l am not a
nervous person, had no fear, although

THOSE EXTENDED FINGERS
Popular Misconception Of Long
Standing at Last Cleared
Up.

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded
as an affectation of gentility. as found
in the manner Of holding a drinking
glass when drinking from 1t. is not
an affectation at all but really an un.
conscious automatic act, says the New
York Sun.
This supposed affectatica consists in
extending the third and fourth fin
gers of the hand clear of the glass
when It is lifted and tipped forward
with its brim to the lips and while
the glass is held there in the act of
drinking. No doubt It would common,
ly be considered that people do this
for the sake of greater elegance, OF
at least from an instructive desire to
give to the hand such an appearance.
which It would not possess il they
closed the entire hand around the
glass-if they clutched 1t, so to speak
a manner of holding that would seem
to SAVIOR of rudeness.
But this observers says that really
people hold those two fingers clear OF
the glass in drinking because that IL
the way that is most convenient II,
he says, a person should grasp tho
glass with the whole hand closed snug.
ly around 1t he would find that the
act Of tipping the glass so held re-
uuired more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fln-
gers would then be called into use.
Whereas if the person drinking holds
the glass between the thumb and the
first two fingers he not only relieves
entirely the tension on the muscles
of the two other fingers, but also in a
way he pivots the glass and makes II
easier to tip on that account Thus
the separation OF the two fingers from
the glass Is \ perfectly natural act.
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exagge lated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis
play Of rings adjoining them, and he
comedies that sometimes when we see
our fingers thus raised as we lift ouI
glasa in clear view of ALL we may
seek to crook the fingers In attitudes
or curves of greater grace, and so he
comedies that in some cases the rails
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show affectation in some meas
ure; but his point is that in its origi
nal inception and in its practice b!
the many the elevation Of these TIVE
fingers is not an affectatlon, but an &C
quite unconscious and automatic.

Horrible Death.

Clarence L. Smashey, the 10
year old son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius Smashey, of Rails
county, died of. hydrophobia at
4:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
The little boy was bitten by a
mad dog some four weeks ago
at his home, a short distance
south of the cement plant. The
bite was not severe and very
little attention was paid to it as
it was not known at the time
that the dog was afflicted with
rabies. Last Thursday the boy
took sick and although medical
attention was given he contin.
ued to grow worse until Friday,
when be became so raving that
four stout men could not hold
him in bed. He suffered untold
agony until he was relieved by
death at half past four o'clock
yesterday morning. There is
no question but that he had n.y.
drophobia and his screams and
groans were heart-rending. 1t
was one of the most horrible
deaths ever witnessed and his
parents are almost heart-broken.

age lies mainly in her strong
dependence on her looks. Men,
vain as they are, are vain more
of their strength than anything
else. Strength does not fade
as do women's charms, such as
delicate beauty and slender
ness of form. So the men get
ting on In years have the ad-
vantage. Just as soon as wom-
en- in their looks-face and fig-
ure aud dress-learn how to be-
come more, rather than less, at
tractive, the joking will cease. "

The Globe Democrat has al
ways taken much delight in
stating that where Mr.. Bryan
got the largest crowds in 1896
aud 1900 that he got the small
est vote. This of course was in
labor centers and Is partially
true. The Globe however fails
to state that since that time it
has been conclusively proven
that many millions of dollars
were spent to bring this state
of affairs about. The Globe
knows that but for the expendi-
ture OF these millions and the
unheard of coercion used in that
campaign MIR Bryan would have
been president of the United
States the first year his name
was before the people.-Mober-
