/ You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
4 is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfil
he promises Of the manufacturer. This
APPLIES more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says take for
example DR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case. it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

TAVIN~ DISHART was barely
y twenty-One when he and his
mother came to Thrums. All
Thrums was out in its wyndes and
closes-a few of the weavers still in
knee breeches, to look at the new
Aud LIGHT minister. l was there, the
dominic of Glen Quharity, four miles
from Thrums, and heavy was my
heart as 1 stood afar off so that
Gavin's mother might not have the
Iain of seeing me. alone of the
crowd looked more at her than at her
son.
Eighteen years had passed since we
parted, and already her hair had lost
it's brightness, and Margaret was an
old woman at fOrty-three, and l, who
had loved her since l was a hobbIede-
hoy and shall till I die, am the man
who made her old.
Many scenes in the little minister's
life come back to me. The first time
/ ever thought of writing his love story
an old mans gift to little maid since
grown tall, was one night in the old
schoolhouse, when my gate creaked
the first time I ever saw Gavin and
the Egyptian together.
Gavin was brought up to be a min
lister from his earliest days, and took
to the idea enthusiastically. 1t had
of which Margaret was mistress. and
Gavin the minister, and now it was
fulfilled.
Gavin at once became popular in
Thrums, and though short of stature
he cast a great shadow. He convert
ed a drunkard, Rob Dow, who adored
him, and would do anything in the
world for him.
On the Hateful evening of October
II, Gavin was returning from Rob
Dow's and going home through Caddam
woods, when he heard singing.
The singer came dancing up Windy
ghoul. Only when she passed him did
Gavin see her as a gypsy elf, bare feet
flashing beneath a short green skirt, a
twig of rowan berries in her black
hair. She was pale with an angel
loneliness. A diamond on her finger
shot a thread of fire over pool as she
danced by.
Undoubtedly she was the devil.
Gavin leaped after her, but as she saw
him she beckoned mockingly, then
kissed her hand, and was gone.
A moment later came the sound OF
horn. The minister was on the
alert at once, and hurried to the
Square. That horn was signal that
soldiers were marching on the village
folk to arrest some Indicators
among the weavers, who would re-
sent it.
In the Square was an unroar. 1t
was the gypsy who had given the warn

the Egyptian cried:
'Do not heed this little man! Save
yourselves" and they obeyed her. The
soldiers came, but caught only a few,
the real culprits escaping. The Egyp-
tian was caught, but escaped the
officers. first through clever ruse, ana
again through impudently pretending
she was Gavin's wife!

TAHETIANS WILD ABOUT AUTOS
Natives Bedeck Themselves With
Fragrant Flowers and Embark
on Joy Rides.

Papeete, Tahiti.-In olden days
when Tahiti native wished to refresh
his soul he decked himself with the
islands fragrant flowers, obtained a
goodly supply of raw sugar rum and
retired on foot to some shady valley
to enjoy himself. Now he travels In
an automobile to his retreat, for the
island is full of light machines.
Wounded bark of acacia trees along
the avenue Patua to Papeete, showing
where sundry machines driven by ma
tives have caromed from tree to tree,
bears grim witness to the wild rides
taken by some Of the Tahitians. Lately
the government has stepped in and
made the roads comparatively safe for
pedestrians.
All sorts of machines are found here
bright cars, shining with glistening
enamel; cars Of ancient vintage, with
brass radiators green with verdigrls,
steering gear tied with wire, and cars
OF every degree and condition Of re-
pair.
When this invention OF the "popaa,"
as the white man is called, came to the
island some years ago the natives fell
upon it with glad cries. Every Tahitian
who could get credit mOrtgaged his
land or his relatives land and FASTENED
to get car, and for months the island
was ringed with a thick cloud of yell
low dust. Below the cloud were dim
shapes of "jitneys" filled to overflow
ing with yelling kanakas, rushing
through the fog, and the shadow out
lines of wild-eyed pedestrians jumping
nimbly for the shelter of the largest
tree trunks on the side of the high
way.

Something 10
Think Ab0ut
VOYAGERS OF LIFE.
By F. Il. WALKER

THE captain VINO can first find his
bearings in the snarling storm
at sea. is he who will be first to
reach safe harbor.
And so it is with sailors on the
turbulent sea Of life, when tenn
pestuous winds blow and adversely
comes.
In this sense, we are all captains
each at the wheel of a craft of eur
own, responsible for its keeping and
it's guidance to still waters.
Some of us face storms with calm
ness and abiding faith.
Others miss their bearings, lose
courage and through fear, fail to gain
control Of their ship, which drifts on
the rocks a hopeless wreck, with
themselves and their crews clinging to
broken spurS.
These derelicts swarm the city
streets. crowd the park benches and
crawl at night like hunted things to
some wretched attic or dark doorway.
They began their voyage under tine
soft blue sky and the bright sunlight
with their white sails swelling In
friendly breezes proud and joyous in
the glorious vigor of youth, thought
less of hidden shoals and contrary
winds.
They Knocked and jeered those who
stood at the wheel so soberly, scan
ming the shifting clouds, watching the
"draw" of the sails and the behavior
of the craft that in some unaccOunt-
able way had become a part of them.
At the end of years, when life
skies begin to purple, these sober
wheelmen, patient and earnest still,
find their way to friendly ports, wear
ing the smile Of triumph.
The other ships, whose captains
lacked earnestness. patience and self
reliance, never came back. Their
storm-wrecked sailors, picked up here
and there, lack incentive to make an
other voyage-erring, shiftless and
untrue, like their captains.
They are untouched with the radi-
ancy of better things.
Opportunity succeeds opportunity,
but they shun it.
Hope they will tell you, is dead,
hut they decline to tell you that they
themselves killed it.
How are you sailing your ship?
Are You devoting to it your full at
tention, putting into your lifework all
the ability, sincerity and energy that
you can command?
If you are, there will be no park
benches and wretched attics awaiting
you at the end of your voyage, but In
their stead there will be the sweet
consciousness of a we'll won reward,
the blessing Of an accomplishing soul
and these mean true and abiding hap
piness whatever your surroundings.

HEART WEATHER.

CXIES are not always amethyst,
y And stars are lost in midnight
mist,
The sun is curtained by the rain,
Day has its darkness, night its pain !;
And yet the hill the sun has kissed
I know shall feel his kiss again.
We do not ask perfection of
The earth below, the skies above;
They have their moments that are
drear,
And winter comes to every year
We ask it but Of those we love,
Perfection only Of the dear
Hearts have their weather, every
heart
We do not live with perfect art.
Hearts have their time the thunders
roll,
Their little tempests of the soul.
But soon the tempest shall depart
And leave affections aureole.
You who are patient with the skies
When suns go down and storms arise,
Be patient in the time of stress,
The tempest meet with tenderness.
Love must be patient, must be wise
The sun obscured shines none the
less.

Boost your city, boost your friend;
Boost the church that you attend.
Boost the street on which your

Boost the goods that you are selling
Boost the people round about you
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them.
Boost for every forward movement;
Boost for every new improvement;
Boost the man for whom you labor;
Boost the stranger and the neighbor
Cease to be chronic knocker;
If you'd make your town the better
Boost it to the final letter.
