portions and Is Remarkably AS
sertive and Prolific.

Douglas fir is the name given to one
of the best timber trees in the west
ern part of the country. Specimens
are common with a diameter of 10
feet, and travellers in the belt where
they grow report having seen them
20 feet in diameter and tapering
straight to a height of from 25O to 300
feet.
The coast range of the Sierras pro-
videS the best trees. Only the IA
nous redwood and two or three other
growths exceed the fir in size, and
none except the yellow pine produces
so much commercial timber. The tree
is sometimes styled the Oregon pine,
but foresters say it is more of hem
lock. Its botanical name is false
hemlock," although that designation
is not generally approved.
1t is one of the most assertive and
most prolific of timber growths. For
esters say that no other produces so
many trees to the acre, and when a
grove is started it crowds out growths
OF other species. 1t finds a wide va
riety of uses, being made into tele-
graph poles, ship masts and derrick
booms, and is also used for interior
finish. Coarse and fine-grained woods
are turned out from it, according to
the age. The annual rings are not
nearly as thick after the first century

than one grade of timber. Full-grown

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
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 is
soon realized. 1t 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 as,
tonishing statements that one reason why
SO 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

The experience of Mr.. E. J. Tou-

on account of the length of time

He writes: 81 have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for

eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.

fellow workman advised me to take

used three-fourths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that

bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.

form.

to separate them. And yet he felt that
the wickedness of what he had done
was the wickedness of Dicky Morgan,

nevertheless, his youth cried out to

Tuberculosis in Cattle.

The bureau of animal industry of
the department of agriculture reports
that tuberculosis in cattle was respon-
sible for the condemnation of more
cattle, slaughtered under federal meat
inspection last year, than all other dis
eases combined. Information from the
bureau shows that 59,547 carcasses of
cattle were condemned on post-mortem
inspection and of that number $1,000
were the result of tuberculosis In ad-
dition 1862 parts of cattle carcasses
were condemned for the same cause.
The bureau points out that tubercu-
losis in cattle and hog cholera in
swine are the two most serious con-
tagious diseases affecting meat ami
mails, and there is evidence that a
hi Y loss occurs on farms in addition
to condemnations at establishments
where government inspection is main
tanned.

the horror of it. He saw, in whirl-
ing vision of dread, the people of the
city rising to denounce him; not mere
ly for his inexcusable masquerade, so
grotesquely built upon the dream of re-
generation, not only for his vast abuse
of personal confidence, not only for
the base hypocrisies he had practiced
upon his quondam sweetheart, but
also for this. grossly profitable fraud.
Dimly, he argued just as Harmon
claimed, he couldn't be in harder
straits. A spasm of reckless fatalism
shook him.
Harmon, who had been inspecting
him critically, took out his fountain
pen.
"Pll write you your check for COM
missions-shall II" He held the pen
poised insinuatingiy. "And then We'll
forget this little misunderstood, and
start fresh. Shall I? Let's see," with
great effectiveness to the figures.
"Your twenty per cent is twelve thou

He tore a sheet from his pocket check

air, and flirted it over to billiard.

At eight o'clock in the evening,

with a face to remember afterward.
There were deep-cut lines-almost fur
rows-by the mouth and eyes; and the
eyes themselves were startlingly
luminous, and drawn. The mans
complexion was chalk-white.
'Why, Mr.. Hilliard!' exclaimed
Warning. "What on earth's the matter

smile was CHASTITY. 1--we been waiting

intermingling of respect and alarm.

had formed from Harmon's resplend-

contempt for money. He had consid-
