believed that a considerable part OF
her money was invested in first mort
gage and high class railway bonds, al
though she was said at one time to
nave large sums invested In shares OF
smaller southern and southwestern
railroads, including several in which
her son was actively identified.
Mrs Green was also the reputed
owner of large tracts of land in Texas,
Alabama and'other southern states but
it is believed that she sold the last OF
these holdings a few years ago.
Releases Trust Fund Z
The death of Mrs. Green will release
for distribution among "a large number
OF people scattered all over the United
States and abroad trust fund said to
amount to about S1,500000. This is
the residuary estate Of her aunt. Syl,
via Ann Rowland, bequeathed for Het'
" Green's life use, and after her death
to be divided among the lineal de,
scendants of Mrs. Green's great grand
father, Gideon Rowland, Of Dartmouth,
Mass. The clause in the will provides
that If all the lineal descendants then
living are in the same degree or KIN
dred to the said Gideon Rowland, they
shall share the estate equally; other
wise they snail take ACCORDING W tue
right of representation.
Gideon Rowland was born In 1884
and died in 1923, and inasmuch as de-
scendants Of eleven of his children are
living, some in the sixth generation,
they probably constitute small army:
Some OF the heirs intermarried and
their children will inherit doubly, thus
adding TO the difficulties to be encoun'
tered by the trustees in determining
the complete list of those entitled to
the money

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it, 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

YOUNGSTERS Great Idea.

A small boy who was not familiar
with country ways was taken by his
fond mother for a short stay in the
country.
On farm in neighboring county
he waxed fat and sunburnt, and
picked up a wondrous store of aston
fishing experiences.
One day the farmer, who had kept
his eye on the boy, smilingly said to
the mother: "Just ask your boy why
he hid two eggs in the stable"
So the very first opportunity the
mother said to the siX-year-old:
"My dear, what did you do with
those eggs you took from the hen
houseT
Il hid them in the stable" answered
the boy.
"And what for?" asked his mother.
"'Cause it's my scheme"
"Your scheme? And what is your
schemeT
"Why, you see, mamma" said the
little philosopher, ''when eggs is

ONE SIGHT HE HAD MISSED
American Traveller in Rome Particu-

Where "DuIIs" Were Kept.

A traveller tells this story Of an
American fellow wanderer in Rome:
The American, who had come from
the plains of the West, visited the Vat
lean, and was shown over the papal
palace. He asked many questions and
desired to see everything.
After the customary sights had been
shown, the priest who attended him
asked:
as there anything else Signor Amer
icano, that you would like to see?"
"There is one thing" replied the
American, "that I want to see more
than anything else, and / hain't been
on the edge of it yet"
"What is that, signor?"
"The cattle pens"
'The cattle pens? Why we have
nothing of the sort, signOr."
"You hain't? Then where in the
world do you keep them papal bulls
that we're always hearin' about?"-

CHAPTER XXI.
A MEETING In the Trenches.

Charlie Brown had gone. and Cap
tain Montague had ordered his men to
place Guy upon heap of straw. where
he must lie until the doctor came. In
Trench 27 an atmosphere Of sadness
had succeeded the air OF light-hearted
carelessness that Charlie Brown had
found when he arrived there. The
candle still flickered upon the table
round which the poker players had
lately sat. But all thought OF that
frivolous game had vanished from
their minds. 1t was not that they had
not already seen many Of their men
shot down. But Guy Falconer had
quickly endeared himself to all-ofi-
GERS and enlisted men alike. And now
that he had received his billet, In the

1t was Streetman-that prisoner.

jaunty figure that usually distin-
gulshed him. His clothing-civilian
clothing-was badly torn, his face was
scratched and dirty, and hrs right arm
was in a sling. The mans hat was
gone. too.
The sergeant reported to his captain
that while on patrol duty he had
caught the fellow skulking around.
"He came from the German lines"
he said.
