why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,

cine.
Tt is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi,
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
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.

'.MUsH NOTES, COST $4,000
Miss GoIdstein of Brooklyn Wrote
Them to Another Woman's
Husband.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Scores of letters
of the kind usually described al
"mush notes" read to Justice Giege-
rich and a jury, won for Mrs. Anna
Speare a verdict of $4,000 against
Miss Frances Goldstein, Brooklyn
music teacher, for the alienation Of
her husbands affections. i
Mrs. Speare Is practicing physi-
clan and the wife Of Frederick Speare,
a concert singer.
One of the letters Miss Goldstein
addressed to "My Hearts Darling"
follows: q

symphony. IL / could fly to you I
would, and I wish my letters would
only fly to you. Oh, sweetheart, how
beautiful that Italian symphony is!
The first thing I do when I awake Is
to run down In the parlor and play it.

simple. Some day that Caruso will
turn me looney.

FOLLOWED PATHS OF PEACE
Aborigines of Texas Unlike the Fierce
Tribes of Other Sections of
the Country.

Stone implements found in ancient
workshops in Texas, antedating
French, Spanish or American settlers,
prove that the original settlers of this
state were not like the fierce tribes
encountered in modern times by the
white settlers.
Little is known about the aboriginal
population of Texas, which lies be-
tween the Pueblo and mound builders
area, but DIR. j. Walter Fewkes, chief
Of the American bureau of ethnology,
aided by Professor Peace of the Uni
versity of Texas, have located some
long-forgotten village sites. Their in
vestfgations lead to the belief that the
original people of the middle part Of
the state were hunters, while those of
the eastern part near the timber belt
were followers of agricultural pur-
suits and were skilled In the manufac-
ture of pottery. They resembled the
mound builders. The western part of
the state was more elevated and
less arid plateau. Here the people re-
sembled the Pueblos of New Mexico
Some of the tribes are reported to
have been cannibals. In the opening
Of the eighteenth century Apaches,
Comanches and other savage tribes
roamed over Texas, following the buff
falo, or raiding across 1t into Mexico.
There seems to have been constant
hostility with these Indians, in which

words again."

codicil under his breath: "Unless get

sincere belief, he never told lies.
That's good boy" she said, and
he ran out to the yard, his punishment
over.
AS an ANDERSON he was already q

essarily cross looking as a normal phe-
nOmenon resulting from the adult
state; and he failed to comprehend
that the distasteful glances had any
personal bearing upon himself. If he
had perceived such bearing he would
have been affected only so far, prob
ably, as to mutter, ''Riffraff! Pos
sibly he would have shouted it; and
certainly most people believed story
that went round the town just after
Mrs. Amberson's funeral, when Geor-
gle was eleven. George was reported
to have differed with the undertaken
about the seating of the family; his
indignant voice had become audible !:
"Well, who is the most important per-
son at my own grandmother's fu-
nefal?" And later he had projected
his head from the window of the fore
most mourners' carriage, as the under
taker happened to pass.
"Riffraff!"
There were people-grown people
they were-who expressed themselves
longingly: they did hope to live to see
the day, they said, when that boy
would get his come-upance! (They
used that honest word, so much bet
ter than deserts" and not until many
years later to be more clumsily rem
dered as "what is coming to him."9
Something was bound to take him
down some day. and they only wanted
to be there! But George heard moth
ing of this, and the yearners for his
taking down went unsatisfied, while
their yearning grew the greater as the
happy day of fulfillment was longer
and longer postponed.

these insolences.

pect, he was probably the last person
in the big house at whom stranger
would have glanced twice. 1t did not
enter Georges mind to mention TO
Miss Morgan that this was his father
or to say anything whatever about
him.
Mr.. Minafer shook his sons hand
unobtrusively in passing.
"Pll take Uncle John home,' he
said in low voice "Then I guess
I'll 60 on home myself-Pm not a
great hand at parties, you know.
Good night, George"
George murmured friendly enough
good night without pausing. Ordi-
narily he was not ashamed of the Min
afers; he seldom thought about them
at all, for he belonged, as most Amer
ican children do, to the mothers fam
ily-but he was anxious not to hnger
with Miss Morgan in the vicinity of
old John, whom he felt to be dis
grace.
He pushed brusquely through the
fringe of calculating youths who were
gathered in the arches, watching for
chances to dance only with girls who
would soon be taken off their hands,
and led his stranger lady out upon the
floor. They caught the time instantly,
and were aWay in the waltz.
George danced well, and Miss Nor
gan seemed to float as part of the mu-
sic, the very dove itself of la Palo-

nothing conspicuous about him. Bald

strange feelings within him: an exal-
tation of soul, tender but indefinite,
and seemingly located in the upper
part Of his diaphragm.
The stopping of the music came
upon him like the waking to an alarm
clock; for instantly six or seven of
the calculating persons about the en-
tryways bore down upon Miss Morgan
to secure dances. George had to do
with one already established as a
belle, it seemed.

didn't try to kiss her when he took her
home from the dances. This was so
unusual, she said, that the already
twice welded young matron decided

She said just sheer WEAKNESS was

Her second husband, John Davis, met

soon followed. /
A few months later, at dance again,
she met her third husband, George Por-

cause she really loved him. /

told Jane that she positively must not

Ten minutes later James mamma re-
