WEALTH WAITS
The CARNERINC

To every man there will come his
daily bread in answer to his daily
prayer. though 1t come from the mill
ing of wheat or be the salmon caught
at the falls of the Spokane, without
let or hindrance from any power of
earth. If there is food in plenty in
one region, as by the fall of an ava
lanche down a mountain, it will GER
tainly seek consumption in another
region. And this the American boy
and girl owe to the good Providence
and to the brave men who made this
country one and have kept it one.
1t is too much the blindness of our
time to speak as If such simple bust
ness as daily food came to US as
matter of course. There is, indeed,
careless habit in which Americans
often speak.
Fourth of July orators and street
corner braggarts alike talk of the nat
ural products of this country almost
in the tone of the emigrants who ex-
pect to pick up doubloon upon the
sidewalk. One is tempted to ask such
braggarts why the country did not
produce such wealth 100 years or 200
years ago.
Why was Dakota then a desert?
Why were the hills of Alabama only
a hiding place for a few thousand
Creek Indians? Why did they not
forge the iron under their feet? Why
did not the Iroquols in western New
York pick from their trees the peaches
and the pears such as have been
growing there this autumn?
The answer is this: All the wealth
Of America comes to her from the
work of her men and women. The
victory which yields it is their vic
tory. 1t is the victory of spirit con-
quering matter. 1t comes in the daily
miracle of daily life, where children
of God, led by God, taught by God,
alive in his life and fellow workmen
with him. carry out his designs and
subdue the earth.
1t is neither sensible nor grateful to
speak of teeming granaries, Of in
creasing trade, of new mines of oil,
of iron or Of gas as if these things
were wealth in themselves.
They are only wealth when man
strikes the rock and it's waters f1ow
And this man must be not the savage
man who cares only for his own per-
sonal appetite. 1t must be man, the
child of God. seeking future better
than today, determined to bring in a
nobler age than that which he lives
in.-Edward Everett Hale.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kiimer's Swamp Root, q physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.

great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

mdFNelS OF the
same kind. Last fall an agent came
along, selling a soap that would do
everything you can think of, from
identifying the female complexion to
chasing the tJws out of the corn. The
agent talked us though he had eight
day works in MIN, like our old grand
fathers clock and he didn't make any
impression uLtil he said the soap
would heal all skin diseases of man
or beast. 1t happened at that period
that Mr.. Curfe% had an imitation bird
dog that he traded a good watch for,
and gave a dollar to boot, said dollar
having been extracted from my pri-
vate savings, and never returned.
"This dog had the mango or some
disagreeable disease that caused him
to itch in the most reprehensible man
ner. He was always scratching and
rubbing against everything he could
find, first and last. One day he up
set my parlor table and broke all my
best china, which had placed on the
table few minutes before. He also
upset the sewing machine and the
churn, and don't know what else.
$50 when Mr.. Curfew heard that
eases, he insisted upon buying a cake,
and after he had gone he began to
wash the dog with that marvellous
soap. / don't know what ingredients
said soap contained, but after it was
rubbed into the dogs skin that IN
fortunate animal became frantic ard
acted as though its reason tottered on
it's throne. Mr.. Curfew tried to hold
the beast, and 1t reached around and
bit shis ear almost off, and of course
he released it then, and the uproar
he made, as he danced around the
house, holding his ear with one hand,
and summoning the police with the
other was simply scandalOus.
Meanwhile the dog ran off, en-
tirely demented. Mrs. Turpentine
was crossing the road pushing her
baby buggy, when the animal collided
with said vehicle, and spilled her off
spring into the mud. I am willing
to admit that such an experience was
aggravating, but don't think it was
ladylike in Mrs. Turpentine to come
over to my house with her muddy in
FAINT under her arm, and shake her fist
under my nose, and tell me that for
five cents she'd pull all my hair out.
"Old Mr.. Poppinjay was standing
on the corner, leaning on his cane,
waiting for a street car, when the
crazy dog ran against his cane and
he took header into the gutter, and
really felt sorry for him when /, saw
him going home ten minutes later,
dripping slush and mud like a sea-
serpent, but I couldn't sympathize
with him so very much when he
picked up a brick as he was passing
our place and smashed panel in our
front door.
For two days people were coming
here claiming that we ought to reim-
burse them for damages done by that
dog. 1t seemed that the unfortunate
animal made a circuit of the town,
and left a trail of desolation behind
him. He upset six pans of milk for
Mrs. Trumpeter, and scared Smiths
family horse so it ran away and in
jured several members of the family,
and killed eight prize chickens for Mr..
Dippy, and I don't know what else.
In view of which, 1 think we can
struggle along without any of your
marvellous SOAP"

aIooks Easily Removed.

A prominent tradesman in south
west London expostulated with a gang
of road repairers regarding a small
mountain of wood blocks dumped in
front of his premises.
The protest being ignored, he sur
reptitiously stuck card, bearing the
inscription: "Please take one" on the
offending heap.
The philanthropic suggestion was
quickly acted on by passers-by, and
more than half the blocks had disap-
peared before vigilant policeman re-
moved the card.--London Express.
