CELEBRATED COMING OF MAY
once the Days of Ancient Rome Its

Sorts of Festivities.

In ancient Rome May day was a
signal for celebration of the goddess
Floralia, the deity pervading all the
tiowery kingdom, which ever at this
time had new inspiration in the
flight of pollen for fresh beauty in
color and form. In the legend of
Robin Hood, embalmed by Sir Wal
ter Scott and others, the characters,
Maid Marian, Little John, Tom the
Piper, Hobby Horse, the Lord and
Lady of May, danced around the
Maypole.
In Germany and other continent
tai European countries, flowers were
strewn in the streets as the cele-
brants danced, and in the dead Of
night frolicsome youths would go to
the forests and select the most stall
Wart sapIlngs, fetch them to the CEN
ter of the town, strip them of
branches and reclothe them with
wreaths and garlands, and in Eng
land a similar ceremony gave rise to
homely songs for the children, such
as "Here Oats, Beans, Peas and Bar

CHEERFUL PHILOSOPHER.

A retired business man, who now
lives in a soldiers home, recently
sent to a friend in the dry goods
trade letter that is refreshing be-
cause of its homely philosophy in the
wise acceptance of fortunes reverses.
Reproduced in the New York Jour
nal Of Commerce, it runs as follows :
'Since [ saw you, l have entered
on my seventy-seventh year. My ex-
perience has taught me the folly of
worrying over events that l cannot
control. | have much reason for
gratitude, for [ have been allowed to
live long. My lines are cast in pleas
ant places, and that is more than
many a millionaire can truly say. I
have little sympathy for persons who
mourn their former prosperity, max
ing themselves miserable and their
hearers uncomfortable.
'My five months captivity in a
Confederate prison showed me how
little, after all, person needs to be
perfectly happy and contented. One
good, square meal for the prisoners
would have converted the prison into
a picnic grove"

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, .
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know OF
has so large a sale.''
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
