GHOSTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend Of the City of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super.
stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends Of the
City bf Mexico has to do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street Of the Two
Idlers). According to the story there
was a beautiful girl DOna Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo y Vezca, who lived on
the street, and was beloved by two
men, one young officer and the other
young merchant. After the custom
Of the land at that period (about 165O)
they indicated their love by standing,
one Mt each corner Of the block, until
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without 1t
becoming known to her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unknown to the suitors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting in vain. The day after
they stood, and the day after that,
week after week, month after month,
and year after year. They at last
died, still on their posts, and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night
cloaked and CHASTITY, in the darkest
shadows of the streets.

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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root il
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 statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jeeted is because kidney trouble is 30
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.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..
