A Good Joke
On the Officer.

y man came to this city Saturday even
ing from North NaSSalboro and pure chased
about 80 pounds Of beans The se ne
placed in Z suit case and started toward
the electric line i'm Winsow When on
the bridge the handle broke and he placed
his burden on his shoulder The funny
part of it happened when he reached the
other end of the bridge. The man stopped
in front of one of the small stores.
What have you got in the case?" asked
a man.
"Oh, I have got some beer ard other
stuff that was going to take out to the
lake tomorrow" replied the stranger
Would you give me little beel % ask
ed the man.
Certainly"
Would you give long recker?"
Sure, for the same price the other boys
get for it," returned the traveller
The man come to the conclusion that he
could not open his suit case. whereupon
the other man displayed a badge and said
You had better come over to the sta
ton house with me-"
They went over, followed by large
number who had gathered in the mean
time, and all expected that a pocket ped
dler had been caught in their midst. When
inside the station the suit case was OPEN
ed and there We're the beans just as he
had purchased them. That was 100 much
fer the crowd and of course the story
leaked out

A Simple Test Which Any g..
Reader Of this Paper May Try.

Do you know whether you are in
clinAd to. or have kidney trouble?
Have you ever tried the simple test
Of setting aside your urine in bottle
or vessel for twenty-four hours?
A sediment or settling in the urine
indicates a diseased condition.
Science has today furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs: in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
They are the most important organs,
because they filter and purify the
blood.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that is their
work.
When your blood is impure, nothing
can urify it but your kidneys.
To overcome these troubles take DR.
KilmeA's Swamp Root. the world-fa-
NOUS kidney remedy. In taking
Swamp, Root you afford natural help
to- Natu e, for Swamp Root is the
most perfect healer and gentle aid to
the kidneys that has yet been dfscov-
eIed.
If you mention our paper and write
Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton. N. Y.
for sample bottle. they will send. it
free by mail-it will convince anyone

ascertained that no person was waiting

trans running rules they were in
somewhat of d muddle. In 10 minutes
more the train would be due. The sta

the gentlemen wanted to take the train
and consequently no signal was set
to stop it. Suddenly it occurred to one

scheme: They would notify the sta

mileage to Portland, and when the
