Speech.

Talk Happiness; the world is sad
enough
without your woe. No path is who'll
ly rough.
Look for the places that are smooth
and clear,
And speak OF them to rest the weary
ear
or earth, so hurt by one continuous
strain
or moral discomfort and grief and
pain.
Talk faith; the world is better of
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid
doubt;
II you have faith In God. or man,
or self,
Say so; IL not, push back upon the
shelf
OF silence all your thoughts-till
faith shall come;
No one will grieve because your lips
are dumb.
Talk health; the dreary, reverend
ing tale
OF mortal maladies is worn and
stale;
You can not charm, or interest, or
. please,
By harping on the minor chord, dis
ease.
Say you are well or all Is well with
you,
And God shall hear your words and
make them true.

Pensioners of Peace.

Americans like to argue about
"Workmen's Compensation. They
take sides ''for the employer or for
the employee" They don't realize
that the interests of both in the mat
ter are identical. Europe, particu-
larly Germany, has evolved a work
able scheme that is saving employ
ers thousands of dollars a year, and
giving comfort to hundreds of in
capaciated workmen and their fami-
lies-a scheme which William Hard
presents with great effectiveness and
logic in the October Everybody's
Magazine.

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 proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
s~alding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swan1p-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is

In Honor OF General Lee

From the Chica go Post: The stat
lie of Robert E. Lee, for which the
State Of Virginia will ask place in the
Memorial Hail OF the Capitol at Wash
ington, has been completed. In the
near future Congress will be asked to
accept the gift, and the strong hope
and belief is that no individual or or
ganization in the whole length OF
breadth Of tie North will so much as
murmur against the inteution to honor
the memory OF the great Confederate
soldier.
If it had been said In the days inn
mediately following the Civil War that
in time a memorial to Lee would have
a place of honor in the nations Capitol
there would have been few to admit
that such thing was possible. Time
has brought its changes. Robert f.
Lee is honored In the North only to a
degree less than he is honored in the
South. He was an American who
fought as he thought, and he was one
of the greatest soldiers who ever went
to battle.
In no other country on earth than
this Is it likely the government would
consent to adult into the halls of its
Capitol IL emorial of man who had
fought against its unity as nation.
The fact that it is possible here is a
tribute to the American spirit. Gen.
Lee will have place beside Washing
ton, another son of Virginia, in the
hall Of fame, and Americans

Curiously enough, the only water In

that he got into hot political dis.
