 Mustard Pickles.-Take equal quan- titles of small cucumbers, the largest sliced, green tomatoes. caulifiOwer picked into flowerets and small button onions. Keep them covered with strong brine for twenty-four hours, using one cupful of salt to one gallon of water. In the morning scald the brine and pour it boiling hot over the pickles.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease:
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann bition, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get a medium or large size bottle im- mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Advertisemer

There is a story which Mary Ellen Lease was fond of relating in the old POpulist days. It was of an evan- gelist who was preaching a sermon on hell of the old-fashiOned orthodox fire and birthstone type. He enlarged upon the horrors to which the lost souls would be subjected; he prodded his audience unlAercifully with his pitch fork and immersed them in boiling, seething lake.

this failure in very concise and pens-
trating way:
at is the tragedy Of Napoleon III
that he did not die until twenty years
after his life had lost its purpose. He
had lived, since he came Of ege, by the
| light of single star which shone
above the Tuileries and would make
him. as he believed, Emperor Of the
French. He followed it, and at
forty-five, pallid man with dull eyes,
he was Emperor of the French and the
husband of beautiful woman. But
the star f1ickered and failed since on
attaining his purpose he had lost it;
it was the tragedy Of an arriviste who
arrived. He had been a man of
one idea and when it was accomplished
he was left without one. It was as
though man should climb ridge Of
high hills and then have no direction
for the great walk along the sum-
mits."
TE,HE very qualities which had made
L. Napoleon III the most successful
of Pretenders, made him the least
fortunate of Monarchs. In him there
was far more of the dreamer than the
man of action; and he was perpetually
haunted by schemes for the better
of the strangest features of Napoleon
HIS character, that, although he de-
stroyed republic to found his empire,
his political sympathies were avowedly
liberal It was an inconsistency that
puzzled Europe, like 30 much else
about him. And Queen Victoria gave
naive expression to the bewilderment
with which he inspired his contempor-
aries, when she called him "a myster-
ious man."
But Europe also thought him more
formidable than he really was. Like
many men who are engrossed by an
inward vision, he had an outward
serenity which gave him the appear
ance Of a strength that he did not
possess. He was essentially vision
ary, and he went down to defeat be-
fore an opponent who was one OF the
most relentless realists who have ever
lived.
Mr.. Guedalla has written an extraor-
tiinarily moving account Of the strug-
gle between Bismarck and Napoleon III
and of the final catastrophe of Sedan;
where before the onslaught Of the
| legions of Prussia the Second Empire
crun1bled into dust. He quotes the let
! ter which Napoleon III wrote to the
Empress in that hour Of agony, when he
realized that all was finally lost. "Ma
chere Eugenie-Il m'est impossible de
tie dire ce que j'ai souffert ct ce que
| lie SQUIRE. J'aurais prefere la

there was nothing left. But there had
always been certain grandeur in his
aspirations and it was not absent from
| his end. There have been emperors
| whose downfall was less noble than
the one which he met on che field Of
battle, at the head Of the, army which
he had refused to forsake. But his
dream was over, and there remained
for him only exile and death. The
| future belonged to Bismarck, and that
other empire which had arisen trium-
phant from the ruins Of Sedan-and to
| the remorseless ironies of time which
had decreed it's passing at the Marne.

A Modern Ulysses

DR.. Ferdinand Ossendowski, the author
of Beasts, Men and Gods" got the
material for his book by a journey few
would care, to emulate. The author is
Pole, and was q professor Of eco
nomic geography at the Petrograd
Polytechnic when the Reds came into
power. He fed to Siberia to save his
life, and to escape from there set off
alone and afoot in the winter Of 1920
through the painless forests of the
Yenisei. From thence he traversed
Outer and Inner Mongolia and Tibet
to the borders Of India, where bandits
forced him to turn pack at the passes.
He retraced his way almost to the
shores of Lake Baikal and finally got
back to civilization through Manchuria.
He spent some time in Urga, where
dwells "The Living Buddha," wor-
shipped as a god by millions of Bud
dhists. Since then he has been at the
Washington peace conference as at
tache of the Polish Legation, and like
wise he attended the Genoa conference
on behalf Of Poland.
