Thousands Have Kidney

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 il

It's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
IN interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason WHY
20 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the dieease. It is on sala
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,

great preparation send ten cents to DR..

If possible, before them.
"One night had been at tavern
in the village with some boys Of my
acquaintance when Richard, being
drunk and very violent, found me, and
there was a scene in which he made
loud threats that he intended to kill
me.
Zone of my friends persuaded me
to go home. At Hartley house we
walked the distance from the house
to the village in those days. / set
out alone, but Richard, breaking away
from the young men who would have
detained him, pursued me. He caught
up with me, and we abused each other
as we walked. being overheard by sew
eral persons along the way.
when we came to a pool by the
river near the house, he became in
sanely violent, cried that he was sick
of seeing me on earth and would rid
himself of the sight of me. He at
tackled me with heavy stick he car
ried, succeeded in breaking down my
guard and knocked me unconscious.
Our cries, while he was attacking,
were heard by a farmer living across
the road. Richard was insanely
drunk. He intended to kill me and
thought he had done so. He left the
spot, disturbed, probably, by the
thought of physical consequences but,

givings.

LUCKY AND UNLUCkY DAYS
Study Of Statistics viii Enable Al
most Any One to Justify His
Pet Belief.

Cold, hard statistics prove that the
greatest number of premier awards
for gallantry were won on Monday.
No other day showing anything like
the same record, though the much
maligned Friday stands out notice
ably.
Which fact gives some color to the
superstitfons many people have about
certain days Of the week being lucky.
while others are unlucky.
Tuesday seems to be the bad day
of the week; calamities are far more
common on that day than on any other
day. Railway disasters, fires, street
accidents-the record in each case is
held easily by Tuesday. And it is
the day most favored, too, by those
who desire to put an end to their exist
ence.
Saturday also has bad reputation;
its speciality is murders: and fully
half the petty crime that is dealt with
in the police courts occurs on that
day. But probably that is because
Saturday also holds the record for
drunkenness.
There is nothing very distinctive
about Thursday beyond the fact that
1t is the day upon which the birth
rate is highest; and Sunday is notice
able only for its low death-rate.
Wednesday is, above all the rest.

already had terrified him, left Hart

''My plans were not perfect; my
resources and my intelligence for this
sudden meeting Of the world were
slender; but my success was beyond
expectation.
.'First I had the satisfaction of
knowing that my brother was taken
for my murder. Circumstances were
all against him, and he was convinced
in his own heart that he had not only
killed me as he so often had wished
to do, but that he had disposed Of my
body.
"In arranging the spot to indicate

rocking chair by the fire.

Jed. 'sMr. Sidney and his brother,
who is over there In the peniten-

"They met what night?" / asked.
Jed was patient.
"They met the night last fall" he
explained, when you found Mr.. Sid

found you outside, the night we pre-
tended I was sick, the night he came
in here and had us call the penitentiary
to say a convict had escaped. That
night, he met his brother. His BROTH

fire.
"Mr. Sidney-Arthur Dobson-" he
said, ''went out to see the pool on
every anniversary of his murder. He
found the strength out of some reser-

disastrous. I imagine he might have
lived another year or two if ne had
not had the experience he had this

He allowed a moment to pass In
silence. It was as If he permitted ven-
tilation before we again entered the
room of common thought and COM

hurt in any fashion. There was no
display about it. He just refrained
for moment from talking. It was as
if he were opening the windows for
that moment. When the air was
cleared of the odors of my testy re-
mark. he went on as If I had said
nothing. The old rascal was very diff

and recognized him. The poor old fool,
Dick, had walked out of the peniten-
tiary. He had every opportunity to
do so. The warden would have let
him out if he had asked to go. He
was helpless outside. He did not have
a place to get a rag or crust. But
he wanted to escape.

He could hear what was going on

about it, though he didn't bother to

after he had eaten it all himself, but
he did worry then.

eaten so much and there had been so
much of it that she had actually got

of that for he had good deal extra to

foot their horns all they like up in the
sky and we will crow and crow and
never pay any attention to them.

that will be than stirring up dust And
we won't be chased from cloud to
