YOU SELL me a berth
AND ALONG about nine
I GO to bed
AND THE train stops
IN A country village
AND IT'S very quiet
FOR A minute or two.
AND THE engine whistles
AND WHEREVER it is
IT GOT its whistle.
I DON'T know.
BUT IT wasn't a whistle
IT WAS a moan
AND RIGHT away.
THERE CAME an answer.
FROM ANOTHER lost soul
AND A few minutes later
THE SECOND lost soul
STOPPED on a siding

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
'tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv

His Diamond a Bargain.

An amusing story is told in connec-
ton with the early days Of Sir j. Il.
Robinson, the South African million
aire, who has been figuring prominent
ly in the London law courts.
He was crossing the Vaal river in
1869, looking for diamonds. He asked
the natives if they had seen any "pret-
ty stones" and at last he found a man
who had a diamond. 1t was small
stone and the prospector offered $50
for 1t, but he refused to part with it.
He increased his offer to $50, but still
the man refused.
"What will you take for it?" he was
asked.
"Twenty goats" was the firm reply !;
nothing less"
II sent off to the nearest farm" says
Sir ]. B. Robinson, in telling the story,
"and bought 20 goats for $37 80, and so
got possession of my first diamond

BETTER FITTED FOR WORK
Army Has Made the Average Man
More Efficient.

Evidence that returned soldiers, par
ticularly those who saw service over
seas, are going back into civil pursuits
more efficient and better fitted for
their work is furnished by one Of the
largest employers of labor in the coun-
try, a firm which has requested that
its name be not disclosed
OF more than six hundred returned
soldiers who have been employed by
this corporation 43 per cent have
proved more efficient than they were
before their military experience; So
per cent are put down as just about
the same as before In efficiency and
the remaining per cent are rated as
having less efficiency.
According to the letter giving these
figures: 1.-THE analysis indicates that
the men are more orderly in their

BONAR LAW AN IRON MERCHANT.

Mr. Bonar Law. despite his name, is not in the
long list of men who were In the legal profession
before taking up politics. He was a Glasgow iron
merchant keen business man, and he estab-
iished his reputation at Westminster in single
speech.
One of his most remarkable faculties Is his gift
for memorizng. This applies particularly to fig
ures and he has COMPOUNDED many opponent
by correcting him. from memory on some vital
point of statistics. He can store more figures up
in his brain than the average man could write in
a notebook.
But perhaps his most valuable quality is that
of sticking It," He has stuck to his job more
than once while suffering from personal sorrows
which would have bowled less resolute men.

1T will be the function Of the trade schools not
