Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood,
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
‘ but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake !
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild j
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is i
soon realized. It stands the highest for its !
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases j

£ By W
lie had come to Cleveland to aceept
the offer of an extensive manufactur
ing concern. They wanted a lirst class
chemist; they were about to conduct
extensive experiments. Rupert I’ratt
had been highly recommended by east
ern experts, and they engaged him. It
was au excellent situation, with a line
salary and the certainty of liberal re
wards if the experiments he was con
ducting turned out winners. He liked
his position, be liked the city, and yet
he was lonely.
Rupert I’ratt was slow at making
friends. He had never overcome a nat
ural shyness. In all his school career
he possessed but one strong friend.
They had parted the day after they
took their degrees. If Tracy Grant had
remained with Rupert, under the same
roof, sharing his thoughts and aspira
tions, it would have been different.
Rut when Tracy left him Rupert slip
ped back into his hermit ways, lie
studied, he experimented, he took long
walks and rides. Rut lie made no
friends, and his heart hungered for hu
man companionship.
Early in November he had occasion
to visit the east end. One of the offi
cers of the company was convalescing
from a long Illness and had expressed a
desire to hear the bright young chemist
describe to him the results of certain
important experiments he had been
conducting. Roger boarded the Euclid
car at Erie street late in tlie afternoon
and found it pretty well lilled. He took
a seat about tlie middle of the car and,
drawing a letter from his pocket, pe
rused it with great interest. It was
from Tracy Grant, from Hongkong,
where Tracy had secured, through tlie
inti nonce of English friends, a position
as manager of an exporting house. It
was a bright, cheery letter, and it did
Rupert good.
“Let me know when you finally set
tle down,” the writer said. "You tell
me you have an excellent offer from
the west. Have you accepted it? And
where is it? You don’t write half
enough about yourself, dear boy. 1
particularly want to know where you
are going, because my little sister has
just finished college and is to reside
with our aunt, and it is possible that
you will become acquainted, a consum
mation devoutly to be wished.”
The car stopped, and Roger was
aware that a young woman had come
aboard. He looked up and found she
was standing in the aisle beside him.
It was only a hasty glance that he gave
her. hut ho was aware that she pos
sessed a face that was strongly attract
ive and that her eyes were perhaps
the tenderest and the brightest he had
ever seen. He crumpled up his letter
and, quickly rising, offered her his seat.
Site accepted it with thanks. A mo
ment later she had deftly crowded up
the two women who occupied the seat
and made room for Rupert. As she
pointed to the vacant place he noticed
that she looked at him a little curious
ly. It was a ladylike scrutiny, but
Rupert found it confusing.
A moment later the conductor came
up the aisle. Rupert hastily felt in Ids
pocket and passed out a nickel. The
young woman handed the conductor a
dime. That official promptly returned
her tlie nickel which Rupert had Just
given him and which he had retained
In his hand. As it fell in her neatly
gloved palm Rupert started and turned
pale. He recognized the coin. It was
Ids dearly prized pocket piece, the pock
et piece Tracy Grant had given him,
with the alleged Hindoo hallmark on
one side, which meant, according to
Tracy, “I am never lonesome,” and
that in turn meant, according to Tracy,
that the talisman would always attract
other coins to the owner’s pocket.
‘‘C’hcrlsh it like the apple of your eye,”
said Tracy, ‘‘until you meet the girl
who Is to win your love and wear your
name, and then have It made Into a
bangle for her with Brother Tracy's
best wisheu.”
And here was this precious token of
a David ami Jonathan friendship slip
ping Into the dainty purse of a strange
young woman. What could he do? He
must ask her for it. Could he summon
up the courage? He tried, lie framed
the wordsiie would use. He moistened
his tongue.
Then the car suddenly halted at a
cross street, and while his attention
was momentarily distracted the young
woman arose and, giving hirn a bright
look that was so unmlstnkahly friend
ly Hint It almost took his breath away,
alighted from the car—with the nickel
of course.
Itupert softly groaned. This would
never do. The car was In motion. He
hastily strode hack to the platform
and leaped lightly to the pavement.
When he readied tho corner of the
street down which the young woman
bad turned, he saw her ascending the
steps of tlie second house, a handsome
stone residence on the west side of the
Street.
Then Rupert's courage wilted again,
j ID 1 turned and walked up tho street,
j He wheeled about am) came back. He
I couldn’t give up that precious nickel.
j|e wsiUcJ to the house in which
he had seen the charming j >.iug wo
man disappear, and boldly ascending
the steps pressed the bell bultou. A
neat seftttig nmlfl answered the sum
mons. Rupert felt In his pockets. He
hadn’t a card with him.
“I wish to see the young lady of the
house," he said.
The maid looked at him sharplj'.
Something about his appearance must
have softened her heart.
"Come in." she said, "and 1 will call
Miss Leslie. What name, please?”
“The name,” replied Rupert, "is of
no consequence. Tell her a gentleman
desires to see her for a moment or
two.” And he wondered at his own
boldness.
The maid disappeared, and almost
immediately a handsome, elderly lady
with a motberl} look came into the
room.
"Y’ou wished to see my niece?” she
inquired, with a rapid glance that took
In the caller’s general appearance. Ru
pert slightly flushed. He bowed and
hesitated.
"I came on a somewhat peculiar er
rand,” be stammered. "If your niece
is the young lady whom I saw entering
the house a few moments ago, she Is
the person I wish to see.”
“My niece entered the house a few
moments ago,” said tlie elderly lady,
"but she is at the present time engag
ed. I infer that you are a stranger.
Can you tell me the nature of your
business?"
“I have come, madam,” stammered
Rupert, who was finding this ordeal
very trying indeed, "I have come for a
nickel.”
The elderly lady looked astonished.
“I would not infer from your appear
ance,” she said, “that your circum
stances could he so—so straitened.”
Rupert wiped his forehead.
"You misunderstand me, madam,” he
said. "I am not asking charity. I—I
simply want to exchange nickels with
your niece.”
"How very extraordinary!” murmur
ed tin* old lady.
“It is, indeed,” said Rupert and he
wished himself at the other end of
Ohio. In fact, lie was just about to
holt through the hall door when with a
little swish of drapery the young wo
man he had seen ou the ear came Into
the room. Somehow her appearance
called hack Rupert’s oozing courage.
He paused and faced her with a bow.
“Will you kindly listen while I ex
plain this intrusion?” he asked. Then
he hurriedly added: “1 sat next to you
on the car this afternoon. In handing
the conductor my fare l inadvertently
gave him a nickel that I value very
highly. It was the gift of a dear friend
now far away. This nickel the con
ductor gave you in change. 1 saw and
recognized it as it dropped into your
hand. 1 have come here to beg of you
to permit me to redeem it.” He paus
ed, and the ladies looked at each other.
"It is quite an extraordinary story,”
said the young woman, and Rupert
beard her voice for the first time, and
a charming voice it was.
"Just what 1 remarked,” said the
aunt.
"Just what 1 am prepared to admit,”
said Rupert.
“It might, of course, be true,” said
the young woman.
"It might,” said the elderly lady
doubtfully.
"It Is,” said Rupert. He gathered
himself up again. "If you will take
the trouble to look In your purse, you
will find the proof.”
"I will loo!;,’’ said the young woman.
"It will necessitate my going up stairs.”
She turned in the doorway. “Did you
say your name was ou the coin?”
“No,” said Rupert; “there is only a
cabalistic sign on it.”
She turned again.
"Will you be seated, Mr. She
paused expectantly.
“I’ratt—Rupert I’ratt,” replied the
young man. “Thank you.” And he sat
down. As he did so a lightning glance
passed between the ladies. And then
the younger lady disappeared.
"There was one thing In your favor,”
said the elderly lady, with a friendly
uni lie. “Lena, our maid, never admits
suspicious looking strangers. The fact
that she let you in Is greatly to your
credit.”
Rupert laughed.
“Ft may be to my credit." he said,
“and yet I have never been prepared to
admit that there was the slightest sug
gestion of a suspicious character In
my general appearance. At the same
time 1 will acknowledge that I have
felt during the last quarter of an hour
ns much like a confidence man as it Is
possible for an innocent youth to feel.”
And then the young woman reap
peared.
"It is too bad," she said, "but Just ns
I was entering my room my purse drop
ped to the floor and scattered the coins
In every direction. Your nickel must
have bidden Itself with great care, be
cause 1 failed to find It.”
Rupert tmslfly arose.
“I’m very sorry to have put you to
all this annoyance,” he said, "and I’m
especially sorry that I have been una
ble to prove tlie honesty of my purpose
in Intruding upon you. Hood after
noon.”
“One moment,” cried the young wo
man. "I haven’t given It up yet I
will make a more thorough search, add
j*ou must call again.”
"Come tomorrow evening If you are
not engaged.” said the elderly lady.
Rupert stamnie ed that It would be
a pleasure and a moment later wae
hurrying down the street to catch ft
car. He felt strangely exhilarated.
Hhe certainly was a remarkably pret
ty girl. And somehow the remem
brance of her looks softened tlie
thought of the ordeal through which
he had Just passed.
lie called the uoxt evening and found
that the precious nickel was still un
discovered. Miss lA‘glie hud been too
busy to make the promised search.
And yet Rupert staid ou through the
evening—ami there had never been au
evening In all bis recollection that
could compare with It. When he start
ed to go. the elderly lady suggested
that he might like to come up Sunday
evening and accompany them to
church. And the hashful Rupert ac
cepted the suggestion without a mur
mur.
()n the way home from church on
one never to he forgotten evening the
elderly Indy hud suddenly startled Ru
pert by inviting him to dine with V!ss
Leslie anil herself.
And so Rupert enjoyed the most de
lightful meal that ever was eaten—but
tlie nickel did not turn up.
Pretty soon be began to call without
being specially Invited and after n lit
tle whlie be never alluded to the nick
el. Sonietliiies lie felt quite dazed by
kin JPAbJ fortune uud by the remark-
sine assurance he displayed In accept
ing it Yet he was a shy lover still.
He asked no questions; he took every
thing for granted—much ns if he were
living through a delightful dream and
feared he would awaken if he moved.
Why. it was a fact that he didn’t even
know the lovely girl’s full name. She
was Miss Leslie to him ns to the house
hold, ami he could Invent many delight
ful names to call her when he was
not at her side.
One evening, it might have been six
weeks since the memorable day he
lost the nickel, he was with Miss Les
lie In the little reception room at Mrs.
Morgan’s, for that was the elderly
lady’s name.
Suddenly the sweet gray eyes looked
up at him.
“I have found the nickel,” said the
gentlest of voices.
“Have you?” cried Rupert. Then his
voice changed. “Really,”’ he went ou,
“I don’t believe I’m half glad over its
recovery. It brought me such wonder
ful luck, you know, the day it disap
peared.”
“Then you do not want it?" she soft
ly questioned with a blush.
“I am not as anxious about it as 1
was.’’ replied Rupert.
“Then,’’ said tlie gentle voice, “wby
not give it to me?”
Rupert started.
"If I dared.” lie muttered.
“Dared wbat?” asked the young wo
man.
To Rupert’s ears It sounded like n
defiance.
"This is madness!” lie murmured.
He caught Leslie’s hand. “Will you
be my wife?”
She dropped the veiling lashes over
the bright gray eyes.
“I—1 accept the nickel,” she stam
mered and blushed ns she said it and
gave him the other hand.
A little later she drew him toward
the mantel.
“Rupert,” she said, “you’re the vic
tim of a mild conspiracy. I knew you
that very first day. 1 knew the nickel.
I told auntie who you were.”
“You knew me!" cried the dazed Ru
pert.
“I knew all about you through Tra
cy's glowing praises. I am Leslie
Grant, Tracy’s sister.”
“What!” cried Rupert, sinking into a
chair. “Tracy’s sister? Then you
knew about the nickel?”
“I knew all about it,” said Leslie de
murely. “And then, too, we bad your
photograph. Look here.”
She reached behind the clock and
drew the portrait into sight.
Rupert gazed at it with a dazed ex
pression.
“We’ll put a frame of gold on It,” he
murmured.
“On your portrait?” laughed Leslie.
“No.” said Rupert solemnly; “on the

A MODEL GUEST.
The Reaaon He Coulil Sympathize
With the Landlord.
The Niagara Falls landlord sized the
new arrival up as a kicker while lie
was writing his name In the register,
and before anything could be said
about rooms, rates or conveuieuees be
observed:
“Perhaps you have made a mistake
In the hotel. This is the Great View
House. The Small View House Is two
blocks down the street.”
“This Is the place I want,” replied
the guest.
“But our rooms are small and the
beds nothing to brag of.”
“That will be all right. I’ve been
sleeping in a hall bedroom or ou a shelf
for a year past.”
“There is no roaring to be beard
here.”
“Pm glad of it.”
"And the meals are very plain."
“That suits me. I’ve got dyspepsia,
and the plainer the meals are the bet
ter.”
“You don’t object to hand organs by
day and squalling babies by night?”
“Not the slightest. I've roamed all
over Europe, and you can’t have any
thing here to compare."
The landlord saw that be had erred
In sizing the man up, but be bated to
admit it and therefore continued:
“My rates are $3 per day.”
“That’s cheap enough for a hotel
here,” replied the man.
“Do you look for rainbows over the
falls?”
“Not a bit of It. If they eome along.
I’ll take my share, but any old bow
will do for me.”
“Are you afraid of the typhoid fe
ver?”
“No. sir.”
“There is only one cataract here.”
“I don’t want any more. Give me
the poorest, smallest room in the house,
and if you want to put a man In with
me all right, and I’ll use anything for
a wash basin and furnish my own soap
and towels. Your rates are $3 a day.
Here Is $100 to start on.”
“Lord, Lord, but what kind of a
man are you?” gasped the landlord as
bis head began to swim.
“I? Oh, I used to run a hotel here
myself, and I know how to sympa
thize!” smiled the guest “Just let
things go along the same as if I wasn’t
here. If It’s handy, give me clean
sheets once In two weeks, but don’t go
to putting yourself out or worrying
over me. Here’s 33 days In advance,
and In case you run short any time
Just let me know and I’ll lend you $500
to get along on!”

DISCOVERED BY MULES.
They Kicked I'p the Ground and
Lnld Bare Vnlnnhlr Detioalta.
The animal with the gazellelike eyes,
tlie sardonic smile and the wicked pair
of heels—the mule—is responsible for
the tripoll excitement In Jackson coun
ty, Ind. The story of how the mule
once did good Is an Interesting one. A.
II. Harbaugh, a farmer living near
Frettown, seven miles north of here,
recently hitched a team of mules un
der a tree by the banks of Salt creek.
The mules were attacked by tiles, and
iu their frantic efforts to drive them
off they pawed up the ground. When
the farmer returned, he found a pecul
iar bluish dust enveloping the animals,
and on the ground was a heap of sand
as fine as flour. He became interested
in the find and so sent a bottle of the
sand to State Geologist Blatchley, who
soon sent back word that it was trip
oll, worth between $4 and $0 a ton.
Mr. Harbaugh examined his own laud
and found that great deposits were on
his farm. His neighbors, becoming In
terested, have done the same, and a
number of them have been fortunate
enough to find several small beds. The
deposit on Harbaugh's farm is more
than 3G Inches thick.
Tripoli Is not easily found, for at
present there are but three extensive
beds in the United States. The lar
gest bed Is in Newton county. Mo., and
another extensive bed Is in West Vir
ginia. The people of Jackson county
claim theirs is the only deposit In this
region of the country.but this Is wrong.
In Perry county, near St. Meinrad,
there Is a splendid deposit, but it is
nearly Inaccessible. The beds of Jack-
son county, however, are easily reach
ed, for the Southern Indiana railway
Is near by.
Tripoli is used mainly for the pur
pose of polishing. It is rather hard,
but it has not sufficient grit to cut met
al or glass surfaces. It is claimed the
Venetians were the first to use tripoli.
It is often called “rotten stone,” but
Its technical name comes from Tripoli.
In which country It was first obtained.
Tripoli Is principally a silica, and it is
formed from the shells of microscopic
organisms, accumulated In oceans and
at wide Intervals drifted, forming a
deposit. Another use in recent years
has been found for tripoli. It was for
some time used as an absorbent iu
making high explosives, but in the last
few years gun cotton and other mate
rials have supplanted It. Besides this,
tripoli is used In making soap, and it
is claimed that delicate flesh is not in
jured by contact with It.—Chicago Rec
ord.
Free Incineration.
New York physicians have recently
been receiving from a certain crema
tion company a circular which reads as
follows:
•This certifies that, in recognition of

Iu and Out of Britain,
Some 5,500 Germans, Poles and
Swiss left their own countries last
month to settle in England, remarks
the London Express. Against this In
cursion of aliens, which shows a con
