passed 1t, and, as he passed, he Rugged
the box tighter than ever.
Then he went into a grocery and
bought box of matches and carefully
put them away in his pocket. Then
he took a walk around the block, and
In time arrived In front of his house.
Mrs. Bowser had gone upstairs, as
the light showed. Mr.. Bowser was
glad of II. He tip-toed into the yard
and took a seat on the steps. How
nice 1t would be to sit there and smoke
his cigar and count the stars at the
same time. 1t wouldn't do any hurt
just to look at the cigars. 1t wouldn't
do any hurt to bite the end off.
1t wouldn't do any hurt to strike a
match Samuel J. Bowser had great
will-power, but the cigars had a
greater.
Mrs. Bowser's window was up and
she smelled the smoke and looked out.
There sat Mr.. Bowser enjoying him
self to the uttermost. He smoked two
cigars. while she watched him, and as
she then went TO bed perhaps his great
wiIl-power made him smoke a third
one.
She was still awake when he came
in, and he brought an odor with him
like club smoking-room, but she
didn't say anything. She only smiled
to herself. .-S
Next morning the box of cigars was
on the piano again Mr.. Bowser, on
departing to go to the office, took and
| lighted a smoker, and nothing was
said about 1t. Doctor Guffengall would
have been Mortified, but Mrs. BowseE
didn't even hold up her hands. for
| so long years she had seen Mr.. BGwseI
smoke. For at least five times 4 year
he had resolved to quit, and 1t had
always resulted In this way. Why
get up family row over such sim
pie thing as Mr.. Bowser's Gibraltar
will-power? Mrs. Bowser is a very
| sensible woman.

Cutting Trees Fast.

Annual forest cutting in New Eng
land and New York is approximately
3,262, 600 cords, and at this rate the
supply will last approximately IT
years, says 1.-THE Permanent Builder"
lChicago) in its cooperation with the
American Forestry association for a
national forest policy. Estimated an
nuaI cutting in the Lake states is
100000 cords, and if continued will
exhaust the supply in that region
within IS years the statement says.
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
and North Carolina, with their smaller
forest resources are even worse off,
the annual cutting being calculated al
1,470,0O0 cords, at which rate the
spruce, hemlOck and fir will last but
ten years. Only in Alaska, Washing
ton, Oregon, and California are the
reserves in no immediate danger o.
exhaustion If the cutting continues u
the present rate of 2,21SOO0 cords /:

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
coon realized. Il 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 az
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 50
common 70 the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root 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 4 Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

oll.searlno Nuts.

The royal palm tree, especially the
varieties bearing corozo and cohune
nuts, grows extensively in the coastal
region Of Guatemala. and although as
yet little Industrial uss has been made
OF these oil-bearing puts, they might
become the source of an important
vegetable oil industry; not only be
cause of the great quantity of nuts
in the country, but also because OF
the fact that the oil contents of the
Guatemalan kernels is understood TO
be 65 per cent, in comparison with AZ
per cent, for African nuts. The yield
of kernels per ton of nuts in Guate-
mala is about is per cent.-Scier tic
