What To I>o.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Knot, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the "back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that imp) asaiil ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Sw'amp-Root
is soon realized.* It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a
tiook that tells all
liliout it, both sent free i
by mail. Address Dr. f
Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y. When
writing mention this
make any mistake, but remember the
name, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and
the address, Binghamton, N. Y.
Don’t make any mistake, bat re

Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and the ad

Had Been a Sportsman’s Paradise
Since 1833—Dredges Are Draining the
Waterways, While Giant Trees Are
Being Felled and Duck Harbor*
Leveled Up.
Big Htcani dredges and half a dozen
growling sawmills arc toiling by night
and by day at the deHecratory task of
removing from the face of the earth
the last real “happy bunting ground”
in northeru Missouri, writes a New
Cambria (Mo.) correspondent of the
Kansas City Star. Amid a canopy of
tarlike smoke from engine stacks ca
nals are being dug to drain the water
from the lakes, giant trees are being
felled and sawed up for wagon tim
bers, mine props and railroad ties, and
all the duck harbors are being leveled
up. Within two years from now the
once magnificent preserves known as
the /‘Chain of Lakes’’ will l>e a vast
stretch of corn and wheat and oats,
with not even a stump as a landmark
where the huntsman had trod.
Up until the early part of the pres
ent year tlie “Chain of Lakes” was as
wild and picturesque as on the day, In
the year 1333, when the Foxes and
Sacs shook the dust of Missouri from
their moccasins and begun their west
ward trek. Clear up to the lieglunlng
of this century evidences of Indian oc
cupancy were found. Across the river
was a massive stone dam, wide and
solid. In the mounds on either side
the bank one could pick up arrow
heads and flint chips by tbe basket;
ful, with here and there a curious dou
ble edged ux with groove* for the split
handle. Some old hunters say they
found one mound full of bones, where
legend had it that the Foxes and Sacs
fought over a great pot of gold given
the former tribesmen for valuable serv
ice* to the government. There Is evi
dently a basis of some sort for the
story, because as late as 1890 people
living near the river met and talked
with Indians who had made tbe long
Journey from their far western reserva
tion to verify the data given them by
their sires. They were seen digging
•t places along tbe river, but if they
located the treasure they never told.
Borne years ago the “Chain of
Lakes,” clothed in all tbe majesty of
its primeval grandeur, fell Into the
hands of Oswald Hicks, a prominent
real estate man of Macon. Mr. Hicks,
when a boy. had shouldered hie fa
ther’s old hluuderbuss and. with a
faithful dog at his heels, set ont In
quest of game. But on every enticing
wood he met this discouraging legend:
■■ ♦
Warning!
No Hunting Allowed
Under Penalty
of
THE LAW!
O
The last two words were always in
capitals and carried with them tbe sug
gestion of stone dungeons and iron
bars. So he resolved when bo grew
up If he could not he president he
would do something for bis country
anyhow. When he bought the 000
acres comprising the “Chain of
Lakes,” the owner was glad to let It
go cheap, because It was nothing but
a Jungle and no good for farming. But
It was at that period the finest duck
hunting ground In the state and
abounded with squirrels, rabbits,
coons, possums and foxes.
On receiving bis deed Mr. Hicks
made the public announcement that
the “Chain of Lakes” was open to the
hunters of the world. At numerous
places on the edges of the estate In
substitution for the less Inviting signs
was the hospitable placard:
it
You Can Bhoot Anything
“t
on This Land
»
But the Warden.
*
The bars thus let down, the fame of
the “Chain of Lakes” soon spread
abroad. Hunting parties visited It
regularly from Kansas City, 8t. Jo
seph, Moberly and other cities of the
state, and they always found game
a-plenty to pay them for their trip.
They marveled that such a fine hunt
ing place should exist In tbe heart of
an agricultural section so densely pop
ulated.
In their migrations during the spring
and full the “Chain of Lakes” proved
a fatal way station for countless
coveys of piiitnils, mallards, teal and
blackjacks. it was no uncommon
thing for u hunter to come out of tbe
"wilderness” with a hundred slain
voyagers of tbe air. In one fair sea
son the Macon hunters alone bagged
800. The yarns in the histories of the
old pioneer and his flintlock were
thrown into the shade by tbe work of
the fuslleers of the twentieth century.
Tbe lakes were alive with fish.
But It couldn’t last. Year by year
tbe price of bottom land steadily ad
vanced, and the pressure became too
great for the owner of tbe “sports
men's paradise,” and he at last, with
much reluctance, let go. He said be
never made a deal In his life that be
hated worse, and It didn’t make him
feel any ’heller when he learned that
the purchaser hud soon turned the land
over for a great deal more than he
paid for It. But Mr. Hicks Is a busi
ness msn. and be appr’clates the prac
tical force of commeiolal necessity.

of Denmark, was cruising in the Medi
terranean on the corvette Heimdal.
The corvette put into the port of Ma
laga, and the prince and his chum,
Herdebred, went ashore with tbe other
Cadets. The boatswain, who had
knocked about all the ports in the Med
iterranean. had told the young men
that In a cafe In the Calle Carmen
there was a lieautiful fortune teller,
Dolores de Isla, of great reputation. In
the evening they, of course, all met at
this particular cafe, and I’riuce Charles
asked Dolores to tell his fortune.
Tbe palmist took his hand and scan
ned the lines attentively. Suddenly
she drew hack and in a trembling
voice said, "But who might you be.
young gentleman?”
“Oh. I’m the same as my comrades
here, a Danish naval cadet.”
“Show me your hand again. Perhaps
there is a mistake. Come Into the cor
ner yonder, under the lamp.”
There the prophetess spoke to the
prince in a low tone, so that the others
could not hear. Presently the young
man returned to his friends. He was
deathly pale. No one ventured to ask
him what had happened.
A month later, when the cruise was
over and the Heimdal was entering
Copenhagen harbor, Prince Charles
gave his friend Herdebred a sealed en
velope and made him promise to keep
It Intact until he should claim It again.
In the event of the prince’s death Her
debred was to break tbe seals and read
the contents.
“Therein Is noted down word for
word what Dolores de Isla told me. It
is, of course, all nonsense, But, still,
betwixt heaven and earth there are
mysteries—hypnotism, for Instance—
which tlie wise have not yet fathomed.”
On the envelope was written, “Mala
ga. 1890.—Carl.”
Ten years later. In July, 1900, Herde
bred met the prince on the Strand bou
levard at Copenhagen. Tbe greeting of
tbe two friends was an affectionate
one.
“Come and lunch with me. My wife
and I will be alone. And bring that
envelope. You shall hear the explana
tion and the riddle.”
When Princess Maud had retired and
the two men were amoking their cigars
and drinking their coffee Prince Carl
asked Herdebred to open the fateful
envelope.
“You will never know the torment
that those words of the Malaga palm
ist have caused me. Fortunately they
were all rubbish. Read for yourself.”
Herdebred read:
“You will have a throne. You will
change your name without changing
your language.”
“You can now understand why I was
so upset,” said the prince, “by a proph-
eoy made to me, a mere lad, far from
my country.
“You know how I love my brother.
No one In the world Is dearer to me.
Just think, bis death alone could cause
the fulfilIment of the prophecy. For
ten years every time my brother Chris
tian was ailing I was a prey to un
speakable anguish. The words of that
fortune teller would recur to me, and
the image of my dead brother rise up
before me.
“At length, when my brother mar-
riixl. my fears began to be dissipated,
and now that a son and heir (the little
Prince Frederick) Is born to him I can
laugh at the lies of Donna Dolores de
Isla.”
Five years later Prince Carl of Den
mark became Haakon VII.—Brooklyn

Feats of Lady Mountaineers.
In climbing a Himalayan peak In the
Nun Kum range half as high again ns
Mont Blanc Mrs. Bullock Workman
has left her sister mountaineers hope
lessly behind and has established a
record which few masculine climbers
can hope to rival. About nine years
ago Mrs. Workman made an ascent
of 21,000 feet in the Kara Koram
mountains, In 1908 she reached an alti
tude of 23,394 feet, and last year she
camped two nights at a height of over
21,000 feet. In comparison with such
stupendous feats, Miss Bird’s ascent
of Long’s jieak, (Colorado (14,700 feet),
and Miss Gordon-Cumming’s Himalay
an and Tibet climbs, wonderful as
they were, seem iioor performances.
(Julte recently two London ladles,
Misses Hlndley and Murray, made
their way from Grenoble over tbe
entire range of French and Swiss
Alps, climbing at least two dozen
I>euks, ranging up to 13,790 feet; the
first ascent this year of the Matterhorn
was made by Mile. Glordraux, a Swiss
girl of eighteen, and a few months
since the elgbt-year-old daughter of a

Austrians Compallad to Vot*.
Austria has passed a law by which
Its citizens are not only given a vote,
hut are compelled under penalty to use
It. Some 40,000 are to lie called up and
fined for neglecting their duty. This Is
a revival of the exquisite simplicity of
the Athenian legislators, who literally
roped in the citizens with a reddened
rope. The man who had a red murk
on him was fined. Home such simple
device mlgtit be of use In our own be
loved country, where so many of us do
not take the trouble to exercise our be
loved privileges If the man who re
frains from voting were fined, we
should at least be spared the spectacle
of voters lieing bribed to go ‘o the p.»l!s

Only Delegation on Which Two Presi
dencies of Honor Have Been Con
ferred—Industrious Chinamen When
at Libarty Perfect Themselves In Oc
cidental Languages.
Whatever may he the divergence of
opinion on the burning questions of
the hour among the delegates to Tbe
Hague peace conference, they are
unanimous In their opinion about The
Hague. They think It most admirably
chosen as the place of meeting for tbe
parliament of nations. The admiration
expressed for Holland’s "garden city”
Is universal, writes W. J. L. Klehl, tlie
special correspondent of the (’hicago
News at The Hague.
Nowhere else are such advantages of
seaside and woodland scenery, ancient
buildings and historical associations to
be found together. The assembly hall
Of the conference, the Itidderzual, or
hall of the knights, Is praised for its
architectural worth and for the con
sisteut way in which It was restored
and fitted for modern use. Especially
the Japanese delegation expressed
themselves us delighted with this an
cient Gothic structure and Its har
monious furnishings. Such praise from
the admitted oriental leaders of art is
not to be counted lightly.
Every hour which Is not taken up by
official duties the delegates spend at
Sclieveuiugeu, the seaside suburb of
The Hague. Indeed, several delega
tions have taken up their headquarters
tliere—the American and the French
delegations and part of the German
and Italian delegations. Several others
are contemplating a move from The
Hague to Scheveniugeu. If you wish
to speak to a delegate, you have to be
at his hotel quite early In the morning,
for otherwise he Is off to the seaside.
Indeed, perhaps It would, be best to ar
range for Interviews on the sands,
where the delegates sit in quaint, hood
ed, wickerwork chairs and enjoy the
sea breezes while discussing the situa
tion in a very unofficial manner.
The first days after their arrival were
fnlly occupied In official visits and in
making and renewing one another's ac
quaintance.
A most amicable tone prevails among
tbe delegates. If the same spirit could
be diffused among the nations which
they represent, tfiere would be no need
of a peace conference. It Is but nat
ural that tbe representatives of the
great world powers, among which arj
reckoned the United States and Japan,
should have a preponderant influence,
but several of the smaller states,
among them Holland, Belgium and the
Argentine Uepubllc, through the great
ability of their representatives, cast
great weight In the scale.
It Is interesting to contrast the atti
tude of the expectant effacement of Ja
pan in 1899 with its great Influence in
the present conference. Japan has sent
a very strong deputation both as re
gards numbers and diplomatic ability.
Another country which Is coming to
the fore is China. It Is also ably repre
sented. “The awakening of China” Is
graphically Illustrated by tbe various
members of its delegation, who do not
use their free time In diversions, but
take the exceptional opportunity to
perfect themselves In the langru&ges of
tbe Occident, among which English is
their first object. One of the Chinese
delegates spends two hours every
morning In the study of the English
language, which he still speaks rather
Imperfectly, but very fluently. He said,
with much glee, “During tbe open sit
ting of the conference we Chinamen
sat so tight, so tight we could scarcely
move, because places had been reserv
ed for only nine, and twelve came.”
The Chinese and Japanese also make
excursions here and there over the
country to study Dutch Institutions,
waterways and harbors.
As It was 1’resident Roosevelt who
really took the Initiative In calling tbe
peace conference, It Is not to be won
dered at that tbe United States has
mighty Influence In the conference.
How great this Influence has become
can be Judged froffi the fact that tbe
American delegation Is tbe only one on
which two presidencies of honor have
been conferred.
Bread a Cheap Food For Hogs.
The price of corn and other feed for
pigs Is now too high for the farmers of
western Pennsylvania, who have taken
to bread for fattening their pigs, says
a Pittsburg dispatch to the New York
Tribune. The gathering of stale and
old bread for the farmers’ pigs has be
come a small industry in Pittsburg.
This kind of food costs the farmer a
trifle more than u cent a pound nt
present, but rates are going up. Tbe
latest is 85 cents a hundred pounds.
The farmer pays 18 cents for the
aacks, so tbe cost of stale bread for
the pigs Is now $1.01. Crackers are
being used where tbe bread supply
falls.
Provisions of Odd Will.
So strong an aversion to pianos and
organs did Ell Thornburg, a wealthy
farmer near New Burlington, ind..
possess during his lifetime that when
he made his will he allowed his aver

“Well, I’m going down there after

we didn’t kill any one.”
The airship turns, goes back, drops
until It Is about five feet above the
ground glass north light, and then tbe
man who dropped the wrench, making
a cone of his hands, calls out:
“Say, you artist below there, did you
hear anything drop?”
A moment later u skylight is opened,
and an excited man in a blue blouse
makes his appearance.
“Did you drop that wrench?”
"Yes; awfully sorry. Did you find

“I came near finding It on my head,

King Edward’* Many Clubs.
There are In London nearly 300 clubs
devoted to the interests of society, the
services (army and navy), art. letters
or sport. Their aggregate membership
Is upward of 280,000. Thus London
not only produced the first club, hut
still maintains Its lead. Service clubs
Include the Senior; the Guards, a most
strict institution which forbids the ad
mittance of strangers or the playing of
round games of cards; tbe Army and
Navy, nicknamed “The Rag,” which
ruthlessly blackballs would be mem
bers, one adverse vote in ten being suf
ficient to disqualify at the ballot; the
Cavalry, with Its 1,400 members, and
the Junior Naval and Military club.
King Edward Is a member of a dozen
of the best clubs In London, embody
ing social, sporting, dramatic, military
and literary. A political club he may
not join, and In the vast field of social
clubs his choice Is limited. The mem
bership of the club chosen by the king
must be most select, because In club
life his majesty abrogates bis royalty.
At bis own desire he is treated like any
other member. At all the clubs of
which the king Is a member it Is al
ways understood that any candidate
recommended by his majesty is elect
ed without tho ordeal of the ballot.—

eyes of hls royal helpmeet’s subjects
by recovering her favorite dachshund,
which she had lost while walking In a
pine forest near one of her residences.
The story of this heroic feat Is thus

“The queen was exceedingly sorry, for
she was much attached to this particu

termined to go out himself to look for
tbe missing favorite. He went at once
to the forester's bouse in tbe woods

THE CYCLONE.
4ow This Wonderful and Daatruetfvs
Air Fury Is Formed.
To get an idea of a cyclone’s forma-
lion imagine a large circular pan or
tub with quite a large bole in tbs
middle of tbe bottom. With thia hols
plugged, fill the vessel with water,
then draw out the plug and watch.
There is first u rush of water from
all direction* toward the bole and a
turbulent, effort to get through; then
the water surface above begins to
sink and swirl, the particles gradually
circling around and around and rush
ing, ever faster, toward the center.
At last there 1* actually a hollow spac#
through the center, around which all
the water In the tub is whirling slug
gishly near the rim, but with more and
more violent rapidity toward the mid
dle until it rushes downward through
the bottom. Now, If that w.ater were
air you would be watching a Uttlo
cyclone turned upside down, for the
air rushes upward Instead of down
ward.
In tbe cradle of cyclones during tho
summer months, when the land and
the water grow hotter and hotter be
cause of the longer days than nights,
a layer of air, hot, light and full of
vapor, is for a time held down by
denser air above It. Restless, expand
ing, tumultuous. It moves about like a
beast at bay until n thinner place in
the air above is found; then up It mad
ly rushes, and into the vacuum left be
hind the lower atmosphere hastens from
all directions, pushing and twisting
and pouring upward until fl-has fallen
Into a regular spinning around a com
mon center.
The cyclone, once formed, rushes
away from tbe tropics toward the polo
and begins its career of destruction,
bruising, wrecking and sinking tho
luckless ships which happen to be la
Its path. More and more of the sur
rounding atmosphere Is drawn Into tho
whirl until the storm often covers an
ares nearly 1,000 miles in diameter.
Sometimes It flings Itself upon our At
