FOUGHT ON LONDON BRIDGE
Long Ago English and Scotch Knights
6attIed for Supremacy on His
storic Structure.

Probably few of the millions who
pass over London bridge know much
If the romantic story Of it's predeces-
sor, which spanned the Thames for
SIX centuries and half with its long
street of houses and shops.
This was the bridge that was a
familiar spectacle to every Londoner
and to every country cousin" from
the days of Henry II, before Magma
Charta was yet thought of. to the days
If people still living. Three times the
bridge was in danger of being de-
stroyed by fire-once in its infancy in
1912, again when the great fire laid
London low, and lastly, II years later,
In 1853.
This old bridge had witnessed many
strange happenings, but one of the
oldest, and certainly. the most roman
tic of them all, was when it served as
fitting ground for two doughty
knights of the fourteenth century,
John de Wells, valiant English
knight, who was their ambassador in
Scotland, had boosted that there was
no such cavalier north Of the Tweed
as the south could produce. and David
Lindsay, earl of Crawford, had picked
up the gauntlet the Englishman had
thrown down. The duel was arranged
for st. Georges day, 1890, and the
scene Of it was TO be, of all places
In the world, London bridge.
On the day appointed the two gal
liant champions, John de Wells and
David Lindsay, each clad in mail, took
up his position.
At the first onslaught the knights
met in the center of the bridge with
a terrific crash, but though their
lances were splintered like matchwood
each remained immovable in his
saddle.
A second course had like result,
so sturdy and so equally matched
were the antagonists; but in the third
course the assault of the Scottish
knight was so irresistible that De
Wells was flung senseless to the
ground.
= Such was one out of hundreds of
the strange sights old London bridge
had looked on before, in 1882, it van
lshed altogether from a city in which
1t was evident it had Jagged super
6uous."

PRESENT RACE MERE PIGMIES
That Is, If One Believes Stories of the
Giants of the Days
Gone BY.

The huge giant whose fossilized re-
mains have just been dug up in the
state of Vera Cruz strikes severe
blow at those who boast of physical
development in the twentieth cen
fury. This giant Is claimed to be II
yards high!
Loushkin, the Russian giant, was
we'll under nine feet, or three yards.
The Biblical giant Goliath, was mere
ly a dozen feet, and the great King
Og of Bashan did not stand more than
1G feet 6 inches in his socks. Og
held the record before this 11-yard
champion came along to upset him.
Put him in the kitchen of modest
four-foored house and his legs would
reach the dining room above, his chest
would thrust up into the bedroom and
his head come out in the attic!
The average height of. the measly
specimen of humanity who inhabits
the globe today is about 51a feet

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists

these conditions. The mild and, healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
It's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
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..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
