DUAL IDENTITY.
Young Woman Masquerades AZ =
Young Man.

Beaumont. Texas. Feb. "A strange
case of dual personality came to light
here yesterday. On Dec. II Of last year,
person apparently about 25 years
old, who gave the name of Perry Mar
tin, secured employment at the Oaks
hotel as bellboy. remaining until last
Friday, when it was learned that this
sex of the employe had been disguised.
Charged with masquerading the young
woman burst into tears and confessed
her sex. She declared she had been
compelled by circumstances to don
mans apparel and pleaded to be re-
tanned. She volunteered no statement
as to her past life and career. and the
manager of the hotel. not allowing her
to remain in his employ, she left yes
terday for Houston. -.-t@
During her stay here. she. became
popular among a circle Of friends and
on occasions would go to theaters and
elsewhere with parties of young men,
A strange feature of the story of the
young woman is her affection for Il
young woman in New York City. t.
whom she said she was engaged to be
married.

THE ICE BUSINESS.
Things Have Been Rushed As Hard As
Weather Would Allow.

Few people realize that the American
Ice Co. rays more for common labor
in this State during the year than any
other concern or corporation. at the
present time their pay roll being over
$25 900 week. This has been anything
but a profitable harvesting time for
from the first to tho persent time, there
has been no time when they have not
had a full crew at work cultivating
their fields. The rivers and ponds from
which they get their harvest froze over
the first of December and soon after
came a snow storm there was not suf-
flclent thickness to allow the working
Of the teams and their fields had to
be sunk that the ice might make. To
do this, large crews We're put on ami
the fields were tapped and sunk. AS
soon as this froze. another storm came
and this had to be cleaned off. Since
then almost every storm has been fol-
lowed by rain, which made a sap ice to

remove. This has caused a great deal
of planning, from 9 to 6 inches and
but for some is patent cultivators, this
could not have been done. AS soon as
the thickness of II inches was reached,
the harvesting began. Since then every
day has seen tons of the crystal run
into the houses and stacks and the
work will go on until they have all
| that the demand will call for.
OF the 100000 tons of the harvest,
| about 375OO0 have so far been housed.
, On the Pcnobscot, about $1,000 have
| been housed at BOothbay and Bristol,

North Berry and North Iceboro. At ell
the other houses operations are pushed
every day. Had there not been a good
crop on the Hudson river, probably
every house in the State would hay,
been filled, but owing to the hard work
of getting vessels from the upper part
of the river to salt water, these will
not be filled until occasion demands.
Wages We're never so good before on
the ice as they are at the present time
excepting speculative times. Now
common labor is paid 81 day and
horses S1.25. These come from all parts
| of the State and some 500 are used ev-
cry day. The ice is as good as was
ever harvested being clear and full Of
frost and runs from IL to 20 inches in

Exceptionally good and every man hired
who cared to work. 1t also means
much money expended during the sum-
mer for it must all be shipped and
then wages are even better than during

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement 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., Kilmer's Swamp-R0ot, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and. over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to 60 often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. 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.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new. dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill

offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. Y, on every
bottle.
