Joy and Gloom

In happiness | used to go,
afoot, both near and far; |
never knew the depths of woe,
until l bought a car. Oh. many
versts and parasangs behind me
then | put, communing with the
cheerful gangs who also went
afoot. I'd walk a rood, per-
chance a perch, then meet some
jocund jay, and we would lean
against the church and gossip
half the day. | took in all the
fragrant morn, when ! went on
my feet I'd pause to view a field
Of corn, and then a stack of
wheat. And here and there I'd
rob a tree that luscious apples
bore. or chase some busy honey
bee that led me to its store. But
now | ride in pomp and state, on
tires with non-skid tread; my
eyes are glaring, fixed and
straight, upon the road ahead.
And if anon | glance aside upon
the landscape rich, the blamed
old car is sure to slide and land
me in a ditch. | drive my boat
along the pike, and to the wheel
| cling, and never see the things
| like, or hear the birdlets sing.
| do not see the cloud wreaths
reel across the blinking stars ;
I'm hanging to the steering
wheel, and lodging other cars.
| ought to store my choo-choo
cart and join the trudging flock,
and yet 'twould break my foolish
heart if | were doomed to walk.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

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 q
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject, made the -
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are ~
iected is because kidney trouble il -
common to the American people, and ths
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t 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.

New York, Nov. 11.-After a spec
tacular race against time down the
Hudson river surrounded by tugs and
fire boats and flames licking about her
forward decks, the burning Morgan
line freighter, El Mundo, lay beached
on the flats near Ellis Island, out of
the way Of harbor traffic.
Thousands of spectators lined New
York and Jersey shores and watched
the heroic fight of the tiny tugs to
river as she was threatening to sink
and block the shipping channel.
The ship, craft Of 10000 tons, is
almost complete wreck with her side
torn by blasts and her forward super
structure carried away by the fire.
All members of the crew of the yes
eel, which arrived from Galveston with
q general cargo, haveN been accounted
for, police officials said. Eight of the
deck hands were reported seriously
burned, one probably fatally.
LOngshoremen and members of the
crew were unloading the vessel at
Southern Pacific line pier when the
fuel tank containing several thousand
gallons of oil, blew up without warn
ing, hurting men in all directions and
carrying away section of the deck.
Plates on the port side also were
torn out and the ship Immediately be-
gan to list.
More than a dozen tugs came to the
rescue, and after a valiant fight sue
ceeded in dragging the burning ship
two miles down stream, with the hope
of getting her into the outer harbor.
A short distance north of Ellis ISL
and, however, the freighter began to
sink rapidly, and it was found advisa-
Bile to drag her on the Communipaw
