There is comfort in the knowledge so
ften expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- 1
toot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every I
dsh in curing rheumatism, pain in the J
ack, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part I
f the urinarv Dassa^e. It corrects inabilitv I

, or bad effects following use of liquor,
-ineor beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
ecessity of being compelled to go often
uring the day, and to get up many times
uring the night. The mild and the extrardinary
effect of Swamp?Root is soon
jalized. It stands the highest for its v/onerful
cures of the most distressing cases.

[Copyright. 1902. by C. B. Tewis.]
IT was a blunder that Major Crofoot
got !i:to the liar store. He
was looking; f<?r the cigar store
next door ami made a mistake.
Tie had been owing: the halter $L\.T> for
a ;>ear ami had ht him severely alone
in consequence, and To hrace right into
"SHAKE HANDS WITH ME."
liis store and come face to face with
liim was an unpleasant situation. The
major was equal to it. however. He
just gasped once and then extended
his hand and genially exclaimed:
"But I am glad to see you?:glad indeed.
Beautiful weather, isn't it?most
beautiful. By (ieorge, but you are looking
well!"
"I am well, sir." stiffly responded
the hatter.
"Well and full of business, and I
congratulate you. I must complain a
little of your bookkeeper, however. I
like to pay my bills once a month, and
I've often wondered that he didn't
send me in a statement of account.
Don't I owe you for a hat or something?"
"You do, sir. You have owed me
$2..">0 for a year or more, and you have
been billed right along every month.
In addition to that I've sent a boy to
ycur office live or six limes."'
"Dear me. but what a misunderstanding!"
sighed the grand promoter
lis something like sincere anxiety shone
in his eyes. "IIow could the carrier
have disposed of those letters, and at
what office could your boy have called?
Well. well, but it's lucky I came in. 1
must speak to my secretary about this
matter. I'm not paying him $100 a
week to throw bills rendered into the
wastebasket. You must have thought
I didn't want to pay?"
"Yes. I thought you a deadbeat."
was the honest reply.
"Dear me. but see how you have
wronged me! Yes. it must have looked
that way to you even when I was
drawing checks for others of from S.V
000 to $liu>00 each. I suppose you
have heard of some of my stupendous
enterprises?"
"No: 1 haven't."

"I hadn't hoard of it." replied the hatter.
becoming somewhat interested, but
determined to have that $2.30 before
the major left the store.
"I see you haven't, or you wouldn't
think 1 was dodging a debt of $2.50.
Can you cash a certified check for $21.2S0.72:"
"Of course not: but you must have a
few dollars in oash about you."
"Not a dollar, as it happens: but you
can run over 10 the bank with me after
we have finished our talk. I am glad
I found you alone. Can you ?uess why
1 came in here';"
"I guess it was b}- accident." smiled
the hatter.
"My dear boy. but you will have your
joke." replie<i the major as he slapped
him <m the hark. "I've had you in
mind for the last two weeks, but didn't
want to say anything until I could tell
you delinitely about the whole business.
Excuse me. but that hat looks
its if it won't! lit me. Ah, but it is a lit
?a perfect lit! As I was saying. I
wanted to be able to tell you all about
it."
"Well, what is it?"
"Arc you satisfied with this little
store and your little business:"
"I have 10 he."
"Hut if you had a store covering a
whole block-if you controlled the hat
trade of America, of Europe?if your
name was a household word from New
Jersey to Hindustan?"
"It will never he," sighed the hatter
as he almost forgot the .$".50.
"Ha. my dear hoy! Shake hands with
me: receive my eougrai ulatious! Today
I just finished the articles of incorporation
of the Electric Headgear
company, and 1 am here to make y>u
an offer."
"What have you got up?"
"The greatest thing on earth, and the
idea is all my own. My dear boy. do

A year or two a^o. when I was practii
cally penniless, you sold me a hat on

; have had perfect confidence in my

Shake hands with me while I
say you deserve it all."
*Kut I don't?I can't catch on." protested
the puzzled hatter. '"Where is j
the company, your factories, your

"My dear boy. it's such a sudden surprise."
laughed ihe major. "I'll jrive
, you an hour to think it over, and then
I'll drop in a^ain. We shall want ?7.- i

j was just about to smile enthusiastically
when he caught sight of the grand
