UFE SAVED BY
FRIEND'S ADVICE
'About three years ago I suffered with
appendicitis and after having an operation
performed it left me with a severe case
of kidney trouble. I was doctored by several
physicians and getting no relief I took
the advice of a friend and procured a bottle
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. After
taking the contents of the first bottle I felt
greatly relieved and decided to continue it.
After using the contents of three more dollar
bottles, I experienced a complete cure.
I cannot recommend Dr. Kilmer*!
Swamp-Root too highly to anyone suffering
from kidney or bladder trouble.
Yours very trulv,

Knew Just What to Do.
A parlor lamp which did duty for
the same young man seven nights in
the week had struck, and was slowly
going out. The red glow grew fainter
and fainter, and us the shadows
merged one by one into the gloom a
weird and eerie feeling crept into the
young girl's soul. "George." she asked,
in tones that were tremulous with
suppressed agitation, "what would
you do if you were strapped band and
foot in a chair while a candle, stuck
in the top of a keg of gunpowder a
foot from your head, burned slowly
down and down and down.
And George/ who has been gazing
expectantly at the lamp, answered, "I
would blow it out."
She shivered.
Worries of Rich Women.
After receiving requests from begging

the bureau of municipal research to
superintend her mendicant mail and to
assist her in wisely dispensing charity.
She is not alone in discovering herself

twelve months fiO.fOO such letters
containing requests for sums amounting
to $2,IM>0,000. Wedding rings and

FOUND RIGHT PATH
After a False Start.
"In 1S90 I began to drink coffee.
"At that time : was neanny ana enjoyed
life. At first I noticed no bad
effects from the indulgence but In
course of time found that various
troubles were coming upon mo.
"Palpitation of the heart took unto
itself sick and nervous headaches, kidney
troubles followed and eventually
my stomach became so derangq^ that
even a light meal caused mo serious
distress.
"Our physician's prescriptions failed
to help me and then I dosed myself
with patent medicines till I was thoroughly
disgusted and hopeless.
"Finally I began to suspect that coffee
was the cause of my troubles. I experimented
by leaving It off, except
for ono small cup at breakfast. This
helped some but did not altogether relievo
ray distress. It satisfied me,
however, that I was on the right track.
"So I gave up coffee altogether and
began to use Postum. In ten days I
found myself greatly Improved, my
? nerves steady, my head clear, my kidneys
working better and better, my
heart's action rapidly improving, my
appetite improved and the ability to
eat a hearty meal without subsequent
suffering restored to me. And this condition
remains.

Mrs. Teddy left her assembled
guests to answer a call outBlde. As
she walked into the hall two telegrams
were handed to her. Blank amazement
spread over ber face as sue read
them.
"Dick and I have quarreled. Have
to withdraw f om your house party.
Sorry It is In our honor. Keep It hidden.
Lie if necessary. He's sure to
apologize. Trixy."
Hastily she tore open the second envelope.
"Trlxy and I have scrapped. Unable

to tell your friends. Don't let the
truth out Expect to make up Boon.
She's sure to be sorry. Dick."
"Well, now what am I going to
dor
In her distress Mrs. Teddy flung
open the screen door with a bang and
went out on the veranda to calm her
nerves and to concoct a story to tell
ber guests.
"Just the thing!" Her eyes danced
as she ran down the steps to meet
the young man plodding up the walk
under the burden of two suit cases.
"Hurry up, Bob! You must come to
my sitting room right away." And
she added, as she fairly hauled him
up there. "You simply must help me
out of a perfectly awful hole. Just
wait a m uient!"
She dashed from the room, and as
oulckly came back, bringing with her
a girl, fresh and dainty in a white 1
lingerie dress. Her dark hair fell In
loose soils about her neck as Mrs.
Teddy unceremoniously pusho d her
Into a chair. The young people exchanged
nods of recognition, too
amazed to speak, Bob concentrating
his gaze on the girl's hair, apparently
fascinated.
"Emily, Bob," Mrs. Teddy was
thinking rapidly, "you're both good
friends of Trlxy and Dick, aren't
you?"
Two heads bobbed simultaneously.
'Then I'll tell you. They've squabbled!
Oh, no, nothing serious," as she
saw the expression on their faces,
Just a little tlCf. It will blow over In
a day or two. Nevertheless, that

Invited tbe6e people to meet them
right away. Trlx and Dick don't want
it known, as people will immediately
begin to gossip. Now Emily, no one
has met you yet, and Bob, you've Just
come, so I want you to make believe
you're Trlxy and Dick!"
"What!" Emily's face was rosy red.
"I'll do It!" Bob cast an admiring
glance at Emily. That young woman
tilted up her nose, but grew redder
; still.
Mrs. Teddy took In the situation
with a gasp. Her motives became
double.
"Do it?for Trixy's sake, dear," she
coaxed, and without waiting for Era!
lly'8 consent, she Jumped up and disappeared.
"Why, Bob, I didn't say 'yes!'" Emily
pouted.
"You'ro in for it now, Emily. Buck
up and face the guns!" Bob's eyes
twinkled mischievously.
"Oh, Bob, Isn't it awful! Can't we
back out?" There was panic in her
voice.
"I'm afraid not?"
"Oh, very well. But do hurry, before
I lose my courage."
However, instead of hurrying herself
she took tbo pretty shell comb from
her hair, def ly running It through
the loosened strands and catching
them together. As she piled it high
upon her head she looked around and
met Bob's eyes.
"Why are you staring at me?" she
demanded as distinctly as she could,
with several hair pins between her
teeth.
"Don't fix your hair so high, Emily.
I like It better low."
"H'ml Wo'ro onlv entraeed. 1

torted.
"That's ro!" he laughed, then added.
"But before we {to down, I'd better

ing introduced on the craft of the
Great Lakes. In these waters it Is
often necessary for vessels to pass
t each other in narrow passages. Often
confusion results when tho pilot of
i one boat Is unable to hear the signal
of the other owing to the strong wind
blowing the sound In the opposite direction.
With the new signal, at each
blast there is a corresponding flash,
so that In the event ol the signal be^
lug lost to the ear it will be visible.
Another Improvement, which has been
made In this respect Is that of elevating
the whistle to a point four feet
above the pilot house, so that in windy
weather the signals may be interpreted
during the day by watching the
blasts cf st^ftm from the whistle.

"I'm not," said the shameless youth.
He looked at her ha . It was colled
low. Self-com,clousl she raised her
hands to It and ran ut of the room.
A very flustered y ung lady and a
very gay young man lecelved the congratulations
of the guests congregated
on the porch Ave minutes
later.
"I wouldn't mind beln&' In his boots,"
Emily heard one of the young men
mutter.
8he laid her hand on Bob's arm.
"Come away," she whispered apneallngly.
Bob placed his arm around her
waist and drew her unresistingly
through the large French window Into
the parlor.
"Let's watch!" giggled two of the
girls, Jusr at the silly age.
The newly engaged pair sat down
on the Bofa, but after a moment Emily
jumped up and ran to a Beat at
the other end of the room.
"What's the matter?" asked Bob.
"I'm afraid!" gasped Emily, blushing.
"Afraid?of what?"
'That you'll have to?1& kiss me I!

blurted out
"I may, If somebody should peek
through tho window. You see, It would
be my duty; otherwise; they'd think
we were fighting, and rightly, too, especially
If you sit In one corner of the
room and I In another." Suddenly his
voice became Imperious. "Emily!
Come here?quickly! Somebody Is
looking now!"
Emily mechanically obeyed, dropping
limply on the sofa.
"There's some one coming Into the
room!"
"Oh!" groaned Emily, and burled
her face on his shoulder; but only because
Bhe was nervous.
"Let us go out among them; then
they won't expect us to do so much of
this."
She rose a little stiffly, and he fol

The three stood and looked at each
other. Then some one called from
down stairs:
"Oh, Mrs. Teddy, where are you? Do
come hero!"
"Do something! Hide, evaporate?or
elope!" she gasped over her shoulder
as sho rushed away.
The two deserted oneB stood motionless
In the middle of the hall.
"Dob," Faid Emily at last, with a
start, "Bob, do you know you havo
still got your arm around me, and
we're not engaged any longer?"
The screen door swung open and
they heard Mrs. Teddy's voice.
"Why, of course, you misunderstood
the names?these are Trlxy and Dick.
The other two were Emily Waldron
and Dob Warlck. Yes, they Just berninA
pneaced yesterday." she plunged
on recklessly. "They are very demonstrative,
but I guess they knew we
wouldn't mind."
"Shall wo beat It?" whispered Bob.
Emily nodded. He threw a scarf
over her shoulders, Jammed somebody's
hat on her head, grabbed a cap
for himself and, seizing her arm,
: fled.
"Why, see where we've landed 1"
| gasped Emily as she Bank on one of
tho benches of the railroad station.
"I knew we would get here If we
went far enough." Bob wiped his forehead
vigorously. "By Jove, Em! You
don't look a bit the worse for woar
after that sprint! How do you manage
It?"
"The girl looked straight ahead,
frowning ominously. "Bob Warlck,
what do you mean by bringing me
here?"
"I Just thought?we'd better follow
?Mrs. Teddy'B advice!" stammered
Bob sheepishly.
"Bob Warlck, she told them we were
engaged!"
"And she said we were so demonstrative
and?"
"She said?o-o-oh!" Emily sought
in vain for her handkerchief.
"Wo thought they wouldn't mind
us?"
An angry sob reached Bob's ears.
Suddenly ho moved close to her.
"Mrs. Teddy told us to elope. We'd
have to get married to do that," he
nrgued. "Would you mind so much,
dear?"
Ho drew her hands from her face
and forced her to look at him. She
drew a queer little breath.
"No?I don't know?that Is?I think
so?I mean?"
"That you will!" shouted Bob, triumphantly
oblivious to his surroundings.
Quickly she took refugo in mock
resignation. "I suppose I'll have to
now," she sighed. "Think what those
awful people will say If I don't!" And
for the second time that day she bur1

She knew he would rather part with

But they had quarreled and she felt
she must ask him to return her photographs,
and she wrote him accordingly.
When she received his reply she
nearly fainted. Here is what the

Two Unfortunate Victims at the !'
Chicago Aero Meet.
St. Croix Johnstone and "Billy" Badger,
Young Aviators Who Lost
Their Lives, Were Skilled and
Very Popular.
Chicago.?The two aviators wht
lost their lives while taking part in i
the fourth day's program of the inter- j
national aero meet here had careers
tilled with thrills and comparatively
short as bird-men. A desire to attain
a record for speed in travel lured both
young men into the aviation game. i
SL Croix Johnstone was a Chicago ,
boy. He came here a few yearB after
his birth in Toronto, Ont., and was
the only son of Dr. Stuart Johnstone
of this city. Having won honors in j
other parts of America and across the !
sea, the aviator, Just twenty-four years |
old, had returned to his home city to
distinguish himself further. It was
his first appearance in Chicago as an
air pilot since he had obtained his license.
Johnstone obtained his education in
the Chicago public schools, later tak
lng a course of Instruction at Lewis [
institute. While subsequently em- !
ployed in the advertising business the
young man became a motorcycle en- i
thuslast and at eighteen was known as
a "crack" rider.
Johnstone decided to enter aviation
two yearH ago. Ho went to Pay, ]
France, and became a student In the
Blerlot school. Upon completion of
