If You Need a Medicine
I, You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t 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 fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
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 1 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 has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; .corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer e. Co., Binghamton, N. y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale ut all drug stores.-Adv.

give the saint cup Of gold Time went by, and a
beautiful boy was born. Immediately the father
had cup made of pure gold. 1t was very heavy
and wrought all with figures. In fact the
cup elegant that when the goldsmith had
finished it the father decided to keep it for him
SELF and have a silver made for the good
saint
When the silver cup was finished, the father
took his little son. who was old enough to walk,
and set out for the shrine of st. Nicholas On
the way. feeling thirsty. he stopped near river,
and giving the cup of gold to the boy, told him to
fetch somo water The child went to do So but
STOPPING over, slipped the bank and fell into
the river And he was seen no more.
The father. weeping with grief and repentance,
FASTENED to the shrine and laid the silver cup
on the altar. But the cup rolled to the floor Once.
twice. thrice did the man place IT on the altar.
but every time 1t fell to the ground. And while
all the people who stood by marveled to see this
wonder, suddenly the little boy himself stood on
the altar steps, holding the cup of gold in his
hand. st. Nicholas had saved himl Full Of JOY
the father took the cup of gold and placed it with
the silver one upon the altar. Then thanking st.
Nicholas, he took his son and carried him safely
home.
As the Christmas legend came down the ages
1t gathered to itself the myths of all the faiths
and what more natural and right than that the
religion of the brotherhood of man should contain
something of every ideal and every form Of wor-
ship Of man, since the human race began2
And last, but somehow most conspicuous now
among all the traditions, the legend Of st. Nicho
las, Santa Claus, straight from Holland!
Hoanders celebrate Christmas most heartily.
The Star of Bethlehem, as seen in Holland Is
the harbnger Of Christmas huge Illuminated
star which is carried through the silent, dark.
Dutch streets shining upon the crowding people,
and typical of the star which once guided the wise
men of the east.
The young men Of q Dutch town carry this
star through the streets the signal that Christ
mas has come again. They gather money for the
poor from the crowds who come out to welcome
the symbol Of peace, and having done this for the
good of those whom fortune has not befriended.
they betake them to the head burgomaster of the
town, who is bound to set down the youths who
form the star company TO a very comfortable
meal. IT'S great institution, the Star of Bethle
hem in many Dutch towns and cities.
Christmas is celebrated in Holland as a time
for sugar plums and candies and gifts. Toward
side the door, and the family attred in their best
riyes. clad in embroidered robes, with gems, jew
eled gloves and golden miter-and in his arms
either gifts or sweets the dreaded birch rod for
the children according to their various deserts.
And these, with little speech Of scolding ap-
prevail he drops upon the sheet before he vanishes
again into the night.
Such is the kindly saint who came to the island
of Manhattan with the first Dutch settlers and
still lives among changed only In name and
costume-like all the rest of the immigrants.

Destination Lacking.

John Collins, son of Judge James A.
Collins of the criminal court, left re-
Gently for Arizona. The judge, being
acquainted with IA man employed In
the railroad business in Chicago, wired
to the acquaintance, asking him to
make reservations for his son on the
Santa Fee train out of Chicago Satur-
day night. A wire came back to the
judge, saying:
Sure, will, but where does he in
tend to go?"--Indianapolis News.

"A legend Of his surreptitious bestowal of dow
res upon the three daughters of an impoverished
citizen is said to have originated the old custom
of giving presents in secret the of st. Mich
olas, subsequently transferred to Christmas day.
Hence the association of Christmas with Santa
Claus and American corruption Of the Dutch
form. San Nicoaas' the custom being brought
to America by the early Dutch colonists.''
Many wonder tales told of st. Nicholas.
Here are three famous adventures Of the saint:
Rescue of the Stolen Boy.
There a rich merchant who was Christian.
He lived near the border of heather land. One
day his only son was stolen by some wicked
neghbors, who sold him to a heather king. The
boy handsome, the king made him the
royal cup-bearer.
1t happened that the king giving great
banquet. And as the boy presenting the cup
full of wine he suddenly remembered that it was
the Feast of st. Nicholas, and that his family
father, mother, and sisters-were happily cele-
brating the day. Thinking about this, the boy
burst into tears.
"why do you cry?" asked the king angrily.
do you not see that your tears falling into
my cup and spelling my wine?
"This is the Feast Of st. Nicholas" answered
the boy sobbng, land every one at home is eat
ing and is merry! And, alas am not there!'
"Great may be your st. Nicholas" replied the
king scornfully. "but he cannot save you from my
handl
Scarcely had the king spoken these words when
q violent whrlwnd tore around outside the palace,
and flash of lightning Illuminated the hall, and
loud thunder roared. And, lol st. Nicholas him
self dressed in his bishops robes and wearing his
mitre stood before the throne. He caught the boy
by the locks, and flying with him through the dome
Of the hall. whirled him rapidly through the air.
In few minutes he set him down In the midst Of
his astonished family, who were keeping the feast
of the good st. Nicholas
The Terrified Robbers
After st. Nicholas dead, he still cared to
help people, Once there was man who would
not become a Christian. He heard how many kind
things St Nicholas did for his followers, so he
stole an image Of the saint. He placed the
image in the best room of his house, which was
filled with treasures The next morning before
he left the house, he said to the image: "Guard
my treasures If, when / return, find anything
gone I'll beat you well I" SO saying, he went
away.
He had not been gone long when robbers broke
into the house and stole all the treasures, and
carried them off to their den. The man came
back and what had happened. He was filed
with fury. He took whip and beat and hacked
the Image without mercy.
That very night st. Nicholas himself appeared
TO the robbers. He showed them his bruised and
bleeding form and commanded them to restore
the treasure they had stolen. They terrified,
and gathering together all the stuff carried 1t
back to It's owner. They told him what had hap
pened, and he astonished that he immedi-
ately became Christian.
The Boy and the Cup.
Once there was a rich man who had no son to
be heir to his wealth. He made vow to St
Nicholas that II were born to him he would
