The Minister and
the "Vamp"
By May Graham BOnn~



NTow the minister was young and
IN enthusiastic and eager. He loved
his work, he loved the parish. He loved
the people. They were a bit too talk
alive at times. They did enjoy telling
him Just how he should preach and
act and think and do. But It was all
so well meaning that II failed to annoy
him. Sometimes when he might have
been annoyed he became amused In
stead. II was 80 much the better way.
The minister was extremely attrac-
tive. Every woman in the parish knew
that. Every man admired the minis
ter, too His was a most engaging
personality.
But things became a trifie awkward
when II appeared as though the min
lister could not talk to any one OF the
opposite sex for more than ten minutes
without arouslng observations.
And how weary he did get Of being
told he mustn't take the last piece OF
cake In n dish. IL was so tiresOme a
bit OF so-called wlttlclsm.
lie realized that II might be difficult
for minister to be permitted to
choose a wife for himself. He some
how had a new admiration for minis
tiers who appeared to have done their
own matrimonial choosing.
He feared that one might even take
almost anyone to dodge the constant
comments and chatter on matrlmony
which an unmarried man seemed TO
encounter.
And then the minister fell In love
Oh. madly and rapturously In love.
And with a girl from out-oftown whom
people said was not the type for n
minister's wife, at all, at all. And the
minister had said he hadn't looked for
a type. he had picked out the one he
had cared for.
He even heard people whispering
the word "vamp." "A vamp who had

Quired the various definitions OF the
word "vamp." He almost failed to be
amused; he became so angry. And
this was the joyous Christmas season
wheR love and good will should have
been In the hearts OF his peoplel
A man told him "vamp" was dan
gerous delight.
A woman told him ''vamp" was
woman without principle.
A young boy told him a swamp" was
a misunderstood, innocent lady with
sense enough TO appreciate that "men"
OF seventeen were not children.
An oculist told him that "vanp"
was an adept ut the possible uses Of
the eye muscles.
An old man said a "yamp" was a
dear little girl.
And a mother told him a "vamp"
was a dangerous creature from whom
every mother should keep son as
from deadly poison.
A young girl told him she envled a
'vamp" and wished she could be called
one.
And father told him that "vamp''
was one from whom II is best to keep
away the son, but whose society II
was all right for an older man to en-
Joy.
He sought the dictionary's version
and found "vamp" described as deal
ing with such things as feet, short
hose, parts Of boots and shoes, music,
and Various other things.

minister came into the chapel and told

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

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. It 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-
jected 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.
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
ter cents to Dr.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham

writing be sure and mention this paper.
