A C kidney trouble is al

Bladder troubles most always result from

obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling'badlyyou
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and

I It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being coritypelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may
have a sample bottle of
this wonderful new dis

Bill to Pension Old Teachers.
Details of the bill to pension public
schools teachers in Pennsylvania who
have served 80 years, twenty in this
State, were made public last week by
Frederick E. Downee, superintendent
of the Harrisbnrg schools, a tnomber
of the committee appointed bv the
Ntjjte teachers' association to take
charge of the movement.
This bill will be presented in the
next legislature, aud a special effort
will be made by the committee to ob
tain its passage early in the session.
The measuro provides that teachers,
principals, supervisors aud superin
tendents of public schools who have
served not less than thirty years, twen
ty in Pennsylvania, may be retired
with an annuity-equal to one half the
average salary received in the five
years in Pennsylvania preceding re
tirement. The annuity ■ shall not be
less than #3OO nor more than f«00.
The board by winch the applicant is
employed shall certify the length uf
service to the superintendent of pub
io instruction. If a penisoner be re
employed, the annuity shall cease, to
be restored when the re-emplovmcut
ceases.
The bill provides fufther that all
annuities bo paid out by the State
treasury warrant drawn by the super
intendent of public instruction, who
is directed to set apart out of the gen
eral school appropriation a sum suffici
ont to carry out the provisions of the
act. A census is now being made of
the teaoliers who will be affected by
the proposed act.

residing near Milton Park, was;bndly
injured at Shinier's Machine Shops
last week, lie was wheeling a lot of
castings, and fell so that he was
caught bv a pulley and was drawn in
under it in a space of onlv live inches. I
The machine was stopped by his body
being drawn in so tight between the
pulley and floor. It required the
work of five men to release him.
Strange to say he escaped without a
,broken bone. The ligaments of liisj

aud a luug was partially torn loose.
It was a remarkable escape, lie is

he will recover.

One of the mistaken theories Is that

First Pay Since Shut Down. I
The employes of the Reading Iron \
works 011 Saturday received their first •
pay since the shut-down, last June. I
The pay represented nine turns and I
while less than the usual full twO
weeks' pay,along with what was paid 1
out at the other plants, it brought
about something like a return of the
very good times of tlie past, when all
our industries were booming.
The next pay at the Heading Icon
works will not be until the Saturday
before New Year's, which will bo for
two weeks and will bo larg«
er than the last pay. The employes of
the other plants that have been run
ning steadily will be better suited as
relates to Christmas money. But very
little time was lost (luring those
weeks, the pay for which comes due
just before Christmas, and at most of
the plants that pay next Saturday the
amount of money paid out will reach
tiie maximum.

ilniior Wilding, looking steadily out
n window of the city library, was see
ing visions, all of which concerned a
ydllow ha I rod young man. Each vlalom
was rocie color at (he beginning and
sdTtnber gray at the ending. That she
herself wns reasonable for the tinting
did not alter the fact that Honor's eyes
were w.lstfnl and her lips very near to
trembling. SUe turned from the win

were sorry.
Finally her eyes traveled to the far

to her. lie w*as very shabby, but he
had yellow hair, ajid he was about the
height. Just then he turned a little anfl

heard the noon bells ringing. She had
heard that if one were very, very hun

very tightly. Poor fellow! Then he
turned entirely around and took up his
ragged hat. Honor dropped her mag
ar.ine, her gloves, her purse, her hand
kerchief and her parasol and sprang
toward him.
"Why, Mervtn Fairbanks, how gla4
I am to see you!"
"Well, well, how my fame as a
prophet soars! I said that you should
not see me again till you would be
glad of the sight. And how goes the
gay world with you. Miss Honor Wild
ing?"
Honor expected him to shrink from
her, ashamed of his apparent poverty,
but she remembered he usually had
done the unexpected. He picked up
her belongings, and they went out.
Standing In the shadow of the gray
stone building, she llftod hesitating
eyes to his.
"Will you come home with rae, Mer
vln? 1 want so much to know of your
wanderings these past two years."
She was surprised again at his quick
consent. She remembered Mervln Fair

banks as furiously proud of his pedi
gree, his good name and his appear
ance. What could have happened to
reduce him to poverty and to change
his nature?
"You expect to hear of Paris and
London and maybe Egypt and India?"
he asked after luncheon was over. To
Honor's third surprise' he had eaten
very little. "1 haven't been outside
San Francisco until yesterday."
Honor regarded him with reproach.
"You never let me hear from you," she
said.
"What was the use? Tou said It was
all off between us. I couldn't be as
philanthropic as you desired, and 1
didn't like to pretend that I might
grow to it, because I knew I shouldn't.
How are your proteges?"
Honor colored. "1 don't know."
Mervln smiled at her quizzically.
"Did Bacagalupi rob your house, or
Moiiarity take to the black bottle
again?"
"Not exactly, but what I did for
them didn't seem to last. They wert
constantly expecting more. I simply
got tired of it all nml stopped. Then
I realized that It was only a fad any
way. like my cat farm and other
things. I woke up one day to the real
ization that Honor Wilding was deceiv

itable. I haven't had any fads since.
I have been humble and miserable,"
she added under her breath.

were only trying your wings, little
girl. '
She looked at him gratefully. "But,
Mervln, tell me of yourself, your—your
—the past two years." She wanted to
ask him why he came to be reduced to
so dismal an appearance, but she hes
itated."
"Let me see," he mused. "I asked
you to marry me when you we**e
eighteen. That was five years ago,
wasn't It?"
"Yes," acknowledged Honor, her
heart beating furiously.
"And you refused because you %ver<?

Honor, her ej*cs downcast, was twUt
'|ig her bracelet nervously.
"Then when you forgot your speeches
Ind had several unpleasant encounters
with unpleasant people you decided
that you were mistaken in your call
ing."
"Yes," said Honor again.
"When you were twenty-one I asked
you to marry me. Then it was the cat
farm. 1 think possibly you might have

jected to the catH. I didn't mind one

form."
•iou certainly did," answered Honor,
smiling faintly.
"The third and last time was two
years ago. when the farm had lost ltd
glory and Its cats. You were Honor
Wilding, philanthropist, then. You
told me If I would Join forces and
fortunes with you in your life's work
that you would be pleased 'to walk
mlt me,* as your friend, the scrublady,
said. I couldn't see It that way, and
you remarked that I loved myself bet
ter than you, and so we parted."
"I was unjust,*' murmured Honor.
"I have been sorry many times."
"I resolved togo away and forget
you. I did the one, but not the other.
I wnnt von this minute more than 1
ever desired you In my life, ana my
eyes tell me that you are not Indiffer
ent. Honor, my little girl, will you
wnlt for me till I can come to you as n
men ought"—
Rut ohe was leaning forward eager
ly, her eyes suffused with tears, hei
sweet lips trembling.
"Why must you go away?' she plead
ed. "Don't let a wretched matter of
money part us now. We have lost Ave
years, Mervln, and I have dollar!
a-plenty for both. Don't let your pride
stand between us now, Mervln."
For a momftnt he looked at her curi
ously; then he smiled, albeit his eye?
were gravely tender, and he put his
arms around her.
"Dear," he said fervently, "I'm richer
than you are twice over. I've kept on
making money these two years, Just sc
I shouldn't think so hard. I was golnfl
to ask you to wait till I went to th«
hott*l and arrayed myself In decent
clothes before we plighted out troth. 1
didn't want you to feel as If a beggar
were making love to you. I spoke of
waiting, for though the tailor said he
would have them there by noon I knew
by sad experience that there might be
a delay."
"But, Mervln, your clotlies—l don't
understand," she gasped when she had
recovered her breath.
"Well, you see," he began hesitating
ly and shamefacedly, "Jack Bronson
was on my train yesterday. He is
really trying to reform, and he wanted
a certain position, but thought he was
too shabby to make any showing. The
man he wanted to meet was to be at
the station, so there wasn't anything to
do but goto the dressing room and
change clothes with him. Fortunately
these, though ragged, are quite clean.
I thought I would wear these a day or
two, Just to Imagine what the fellows
felt like when they were down on their
luck. When you came to me I was so
hungry to see you that I simply had to
come, rags and all. May I go now,
Honor?"
"You are Mervln Fairbanks, phllan
throplst, and didn't know it!" laughed
Honor gleefully. "No, don't go Just
yet."
Jonett nnd the Fighting Cadet.
Admiral Jouett, familiarly known as
"Fighting Jimmy,"was acting secre
tary of the navy once when the com
mandaut of the academy at Annapolis
came over and reported that he had
been compelled to discipline a cadet
who had behaved in a most unaccount
able manner and had disgraced the
academy, the department, the govern
ment and all civilization. He then pro
ceeded to relate how this cadet when
passing through the lower regions of
the town of Annapolis had somehow or
another become Involved In hostilities
with a tough citizen and proceeded to
polish him off. The friends of tho
tough camo to his rescue. The cadet
backed up against a wall and whipped
five of them in succession and then
nearly hammered the life out of two
policemen who attempted to arrest
him. He was In the custody of the
civil authorities, and the superintend
ent of the academy was seeking the
aid of the secretary of the navy In hav
ing him transferred to the naval au
thorities in order that he might be
court martialod and punished.
"Court martial that fellow!" roared
Jouett. "Licked five tou. lis and twe
policemen. Not while old Jim Jouett >9

What are you doing down there any

of the United States hired you to raise :
