Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness 80011 ^isaPPear when the kidneys are ~ n i n a l4?ff~r~ " oat of order or dis: Kidney trouble hg5 jfkbecome so prevalent that it is not uncomI7lV^\nri mon for a child tc be torn afflicted with CTLm. weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a { habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser- j ?ble with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy# The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Mr.BowserAcfs Like a Tramp Starts Out With a Good Opinion Fellow Man, but It Is Shattered. NO CHARITY FOR HIM. It Was All Because His Wife Turned Abusive Hobo Away From the c LSWl IJV.UC9 X IC1 [Copyright, 1906, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.] ? wish you had got home half an I hour earlier," said Mrs. Bowser I to Mr. Bowser as they sat down down to dinner. "And for what reason?" he asked. "A big saucy tramp came to the door and asked for money, and be| cause I wouldn't give him any he swore at me. I wish you had been home to ! throw him out of the yard." | "How did you refuse his request?" asked Mr. Bowser. "Why, I told him I had no money for idlers." "You knew that he was an idler, did you?" "He looked like any tramp, and tramps are idlers. I take it. You are not going to say that I did wrong, are you?" "I am going to "say this, Mrs. Bowser: The chances are that you have # I "SB BUSFSD IKTO A DBAOOK OF THB OHUBCH." hurt the feelings of a worthy man and imblttered him against his fellow men. The man may not have been a tramp. You asked him no questions and cannot therefore say that he was. The chances are ninety In a hundred that he was some poor man out of work." "He didn't look to me like a workingman," replied Mrs. Bowser. Bowser Pities Tramp. "But that's nothing to go by. His wife may be lying 111. He may have a sick child. Some hard hearted landlord may be about to turn him into the street. He saw the house all lighted up and came up the steps with hope in his heart. He probably said to himself that a Christian family lived here and that he was sure of help. When you opened the door and saw the poor man standing there I know just how you looked at him. It was a look that drove all hope from his heart even before you had spoken a word. He knew that he would get a stone Instead of bread." "I simply asked what he wanted." ' "Yes, but I know your way of asking. Did you inquire into the situation of affairs? Do you know whether his wife lies at the point of death or not? Can you say that he has not gone home to children who .are crying for bread? When the man left here feeling that all the world was against him. he might have gone down to the river and committed suicide. If you have driven him to that, Mrs. Bowser, I don't see how you can ever forgive yourself." "If you want me to give money to everj' beggar that comes along then you must furnish it," she retorted rather sharply. "That's not the question. We know that there are undeserving people soliciting charity, but at the same time there are others that we should be glad to assist. What I complain of is that you did not ascertain whether he was deserving or undeserving." "Am I to' invite the next tramp into the parlor and ask for his story?" Scolds His Wife. "No, ma'am. You are to keep right on in your cold blooded way and drive deserving people to suicide. How many you have thus driven I cannot say, but the list must be a long one." Mrs. Bowser had no more to say, and the meal was finished in silence. As they -went up to the sitting room she worked up a smile and said: "We haven't been to the theater for quite some time. Suppose we go tonight?" "I happen to have other business on tland tonight" replied Mr. Bowser. "Going to a club?" "No. I am going to settle this question of charity. I contend that the man that called here was no tramp. I contend that you ought to have listened to his story. I have got that faith in my fellow men that I believe their hearts and their purses are ever open to alleviate a deserving ease." "Well?" "And I am going to prove it to you." "But how can you?" "Mrs. Bowser, I am going to put on an old overcoat and cap and go forth. I am going to halt several pedestrians and call at several houses. Not one of them will turn me down. Not one of them will say me nay." "But how silly all that would be! You maw run across some one who knows If you will let It all go and come along to the theater, I will give the next tramp a quarter and talk to him with tears In my eyes." Believes In Fellow Man. Her levity was unfortunate. It only strengthened Mr. Bowser in his determination. He looked at her very seriously for a moment and then said: "I believe |n my fellow man and de sire to still further strengthen that belief. I will appeal to the sympathies of ten people, and I will come home to prove to you that at lea^t nine of them opened their hearts in response. All this talk about the world having become selfish and cold hearted Is an Injustice to it." If a cyclone had come along and unroofed the house, Mr. Bowser might have been turned from his project, but as nothing of the sort happened he got out an old overcoat and cap and started off. Mrs. Bowser talked to him till the last moment, but there was no shopping him. He took a walk for six or seven blocks, cooking up a tale of woe as he wandered along, and then he turned in at a cheerful looking house and rang the basement bell. It was answered after a couple of minutes by the cook, and she no sooner caught sight of him than she shouted out: "Nothing here for the likes of you!" "But my three children are starving," protested Mr. Bowser. "Then drink less whisky and buy bread for them." As he got outside the gate Mr. Bowser met a pedestrian. It was a man with his hands in his pockets and a happy whistle on his lips. "Would you give a poor man 10 cents to buy bread for his starving family?" was asked. "Come, now, you old soak, but that's too thin," replied the man as he kept up-his pace. "A wife and three children starving in this land of plenty, and I only ask you for a nickel." "That's all, but you are not going to get it I don't encourage bums myself. Clear out or I'll give you one on the nose." Three minutes later Mr. Bowser rang the front door bell of a house and it was answered by a woman. He started to open his mouth to state his case, but she closed it by saying: "If you are not outside the gate in half a minute I'll call my husband to throw you out!" He went without having told his story, and at the third house below he rang the front bell again. He heard a man laughing as he came down the hall, and as soon as the door was opened the story started off with: "Kind sir, I have just got out of the hospital and haven't a cent to my name. Can you spare me enough for a night's lodging? If you can heaven will bless you." "The blessings of heaven don't come through such old bums as you are!" exclaimed the man as he bristled up. "How dare you come here and ring my bell? By John, but you get off this street or I'll have you walked to the jug In a hurry!" Mr. Bowser got. He was turning the corner when he bumped into a deacon of the church Mrs. Bowser attends every Sabbath day and he once in awhile. Here seemed a golden opportunity. He began in a quavering voice to tell of his starving family, but had not got half through when the deacon interrupted with: "I'd see you in the river first, because I know you are an old drunk, but I'll give you a pointer. Go down to Maple street and find No. 37. A man named Bowser lives there, and you can work him for 30 cents if hre wife happens to be out." Ten minutes later Mr. Bowser open ed his own front door and walked in When he had hung up his hat and over coat, Mrs. Bowser asked: "Well, you appealed to your fellow men. How mifth did you bring home?' "What are you talking about?" he asked, trying to look surprised. "You went out to tell a pitiful tale and solicit sympathy and assistance What is the result?" Mr. Bowser sat down and took off his shoes and put on his slippers. Then he lighted a cigar and took up the evening paper. When he had read for five min utes he said: I "T wns over to the dru-e store to erei some patent mustard plasters, but thej were just out If that fellow don'i keep his stock up better I shall stoi trading with him."

Aiken, Jan. 3.?While on his way from Augusta to Aiken on Tuesday night Mr. Preston Eargle was knocked from his buggy, choked into unconsciousness and robbed by Gus Glover, a negro of this place. Mr. Eargie was driving through the country alone and on reaching Robinson's pond, about three miles from here, some one approached from the rear and before he discovered the presence of the highwayman Mr. Eargle was felled to the ground. The negro then robbed him of the money on his person together with his watch, knife and gloves. The horse and buggy was overtaken by a second team of Mr. Eargle's and hrnncht, on t,f> Ailrpn. Mr. "RarcrlpInter walking into town. Wednesday morning Mr. Eargle quietly turned detective and soon located-the culprit.

Upon this evidence the negro, Gus Glover, was arrested and is now in jail here. All of the stolen goods were recovered save the money. m mm ? The Bight Name.

Every once in a while an item appears in the newspapers about someone shooting a handsome great owl or a fine big hawk or a beautiful eagle and sometimes the fact is added that , it is a strange bird for these parts, and so the triumph of the gun seems magnified. But every such item fills the bird lover with sorrow and the rarer the bird the greater the sorrow. To some men a big bird suggests a gun, but let the gun alone, sit down and watch the bird in the beauty of i its form and plumage and the grace of its flight and rejoice that it has L honored your country with its pres! ence. If it preys upon your chickens protect them to the extent of your ability, but let the gun be the last resort.?New Bedford Mass., Standard. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a Safe Medicine for Children.
