In. its present form It dates from the middle of the Twelfth century. It is divided into two parts, the first ending with the death of Setgfried and the second with the death of Krlemhild, his widow. Interest In the Niebehmgen-Lled declined after the Reformation, but revived at the Close of the Eighteenth century; It was not, however, until the early part Of the Nineteenth century that scholars realized the great literary treasures contained In this poem. Richard Wagner founded his musical drama entitled "The Ring of the Nlbelungeh" on this epic. JtYou Need a Medicin Too Should Han the Best- Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roof Have you ever stopped to reason why It is that so many products that are extensively advertised all at once drop out •f sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain--the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those *rho have been benefited to those who^re in need of it. A prominent druggist says, "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. Ko other kidney remedy has bo large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

First Age--At first the Infant undar legal slae, that oft 1b captured and to the water not returned. •. Second Age^--Then the Schoolboy at shining morn gobbles down a juicy worm and proceeds to frolla all day long. Th rd Age--And tha Lover, sighing like a furnace, makes a woeful plop at a fluffy fly hovering over the brook. Fourth Age--Than the 8oldler, full of atranga moods, sudden and fierce In quarrel, seeks a bubble reputation In front of a rod tin. £7*' T IS the willow tassel-time of spring and on the pebbly bed of a clear, cold mountain brook Is a nest full of eggs, placed there by a careful mother In the most Ideal situation for the future growth and development of the young Infant trout. If you are fortunate enough to be there at the right time iind peep down, you will observe the tiny infant struggling to get free by splitting open the £feg. First to get out into the water is the tall which wags helplessly aboat until the balky head is entirely free from the shell In which It has been confined all winter. As yet, the Infant Is more like a tadpole than a flsh, much too weak to search for food. So it is that nature provides a wonderful means of selffeeding by placing on Its breast a round sac, or yolk of the egg. For a few weeks the young infant lies helplessly on its side in the pebbly sand--"bottle- fed," so to speak, gaining blood and strength till the yolk-sac is empty. During that time th« body grows more shapely, the large round eyea seem to shrink, and the infant begins to realize it Is time to leave the dark sandy bed of the brook and get some practice with tail and fins In swimming the rippling waters, for It needs to be vigorous and well prepared to enter an Independent career. In a little while we see the Infant searching round about sticks and stones after bottom creepers--then, more bold, goes swimming with head up upstream after some of the plump little larVae that come drifting down along the surface. The first taste ofoiaturai food seems queer to him, but after several trials he likes It so well as to gobble every small creature In sight. His growth' is so rapid, that, at. two Inches long, he becomes" aware that he is a desirable tlt-blt for the many enemies that surround him who are bent upon his destruction. In addition to his adroitnesa in the capture of food--he mast ass skillful cunning to evade capture. . . . We now find the schoolboy trout taking lessona from Dame Nature and his Instinct as guides along the dangerous pitfalls of life; after many narrow escapes and adventures he attained the goal of his desire. He is now grown shapely In form, a true Salino fontinalis, lithe and graceful ia movement--very different from the infant's abnormal head on a small body. He still wears the dark bars of youth across his sides, which already show the lovely red and blue spots and the creamcolored fins edged In bright orange. His great round baby eyea appear smaller, though grown keen to avert danger, for he no longer haunts the brookslde shallows, nearby, where the nodding violets are hanging over the water's edge. He has now become shy indeed, prefers to get away from sunlight and He under the protecting roots of trees--or beneath a shelving rock from whence he dashes upwards after the wing-cocked insects that float along like miniature yachts on the surface of the stream. His school hours are not limited, his time is fully occupied both night and day for two purposes--evading his enemies, and taking in all the food available. He is now fully aware of the dangerous rod or pole carried by the sharpeyed wicked boy that creeps through the bushes well supplied with luscious worms to tempt him. A delicious morsel is that wiggling worm, so rarely seen In the rippling water of the brook. He has tried more than once to nip those worms from the curved barb that seems to be fashioned Just right to slide down his gullet along with the worms. Once he did manage to gobble one; in a second he found himself yanked out of his watery abode, bnt fortune was kind to let him flop back to the water. It was a narrow squeak and he made a vow to take no more chances in the presence, of fftZRD ASS? f +• boys and their imles, however juicy and nice their Worms might taste. Abundance of summer feeding finds the schoolboy trout has grown big and strong. His sides bulge out with healthy roundness, and In troutland-- it Is not spring--but in the fall "his fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." He had become dissatisfied with the meager fare of the brooks, and so determined that when the heavy rains of May caused the brook to rise in a roaring flood he would make the venture and run down into the big river for greater freedom and wider space, without serious thoughts as to how the change of environment would affect him--good or bad. When he got there in his travel upstream he soon became aware of entirely new trials and , dangers to encounter, for he found all the larger trout In the most desirable situations, savage and distrustful of the handsome young stranger's appearance among them. Driven from one place to another he hardly knew what to do or where to find a snug place to rest and feed. He was mortally afraid of the big fellows, especially the ugly brown trout thut showed fierce teeth with which nature had not provided him. . . . Onward he sped, and at last got to a mighty rock. Just in the middle of the stream, when the water surged past each side forming a round blanket of white foam on the surface. Just as he was satisfied tjils would make an Ideal haunt to abide, he saw a great trout rushing at a tremendous rate to the river bed, rooting his nose among the pebbles, vainly trying to tear out a barbed fly fast to his upper Hp. Falling to get free, the great trout went dashing up for a supreme effort to leap above the surface. : •>•;.. . The great trout was seen no more by the young, yet startled lover, who at once decided to occupy the now vacant hannt, and take heed the angler did not likewise capture him. Almost every day other fish came to contest the rights of that ideal place, but after many battles, he at last became Bole occupant of the pool. In that fruitful place he gorged day and night till the fall of the year when in all his youthful vigor and strength. In brilliant array he left bis favorite haunt in search of a mate. The long, cold winter is at hand and the ardent lover has become the parent of six hundred infants whom he will not see--and if he did. would strike among them for a hearty meal. He Is now about to change quarters to the bed of a deep pool where the water is least affected by freesing temperature, there to lie dormant with other aquatic denizens, most of the time to be unconscious of any happening, of frest, snowstorms. Ice jams, then, at springtime to wake up with advanced ideas of Ms prowess. No longer the young modest lover, he is very hungry, dominant, ready lor a fight. In fact a soldier of fortune flushed In the pride of vigorous adult trouthood he awaits with Impatience the awakening of aquatic Ufe that comes immediately after the melted snow-water has run down to the sea. Not so lusty as In the fall, his broad shoulders and sides are narrowed down by winter*a fast, bis appetite craves for more varied diet. With a body fifteen inches long he can take in his maw, with ease, a young muskrat, a four-Inch minnow or trout, and would toot despise a frog. The pugnacious crawfish that scared him in infantile days would find life very short once he got its tail between his wide Jaws. On the very day the temperature Is Just right, be moves away from the dark winter pool, and during the Journey upstream he looks keenly about for helgramltes and other bottom creatures who, like him, have their spring appetite on keen edge. The river Is big, a torrent of rushing muddy water, bnt be darts onward towards the big rock, his favorite haunt of a aeason past which he finds to be Just the same as of yore.. He is familiar slderahle distance. Ml wiindered aboat hofneless, with the harhed minnow still fast to his Jaw and the line trailing after. For iinany days that minnow tortured him. At every sharp-edged rock he rubbed and rubbed to get free from the obnoxious hook which at last came off along with a piece of" bone and flesh. After many days he returned to his lair again to meet the angler, his rod, atfd his lures. The fifth age finds our justice domiciled In a very different situation than he occupied as the soldier, more in keeping with his rounded form and Jovial disposition. His previous characteristic, Impetuousity is replaced by a sedate though wobbly dart in taking his food at night. He has chosen a lair far down the river, where the water is wide, slow-moving and very deep, midst great bonders and rocks. Numerous and varied are the neighbors round1 about him--large and small chub, many bass swim leisurely by to now and then poach his favorite' feeding place, to steal his dace and shiners. Great suckers are everywhere licking the rocks or lying flat on the pebbly bed. Grown extremely wise and solemn the Justice never moves while the sun Is up; after sundown, when night-moths flicker on the surface, you can perhaps see or hear periodic splashes, a proof that he now dines. It Is not a hurried function, but continues throughout ths night. All the other denizens of his lair are familiar | with his habits and have profound respect for him. His size commands It. The curved hook on his lower Jaw has a sinister appearance and the weighty look of his broad shoulders and ponderous belly does not encourage or permit any lnteiv ference with his actions or feeding, from setting sun till dewy morn. No angler can seduce or tempt him from his abode whatever skill or lures they employ by day at that time. . . . The sixth age ushers In the weakening grandeur of advancing age, whereby gross indulgence pays the penalty. For some cause or other the appetite wanes. Hungry desire no longer tempts him to move from the dark, deep hole he has chosen; lying still the vast bulk begins to dwindle away, the sides shrink to shabbiness and parasites attach themselves to - the skin, once so sleek and shiny. . . . Last scene of all finds the psntaloon at the foot of a great falls where no angler would imagine a trout would choose "to haunt. Under shelving rocks far beneath the boiling water there he lies, solitary and still--day after day, week after week, without friends, without food, a self-imposed prisoner in semldarkness and gloom. It Is lovely springtime, the river Is teeming with life and movement, the air Is filled with Insects sailing up and down, dropping their eggs on the rippling surface of the water. He sees or knows none of It--his fins and tail are still, and like a floating log he lies void of life, except that his great hooked lower Jaw moves up and down a wes bit taking In a pitiful remnant of the breath of life. His eyes are lustless and dim, and the colorless leathery skin has patches of .painful sores made by the parasites thst attack inactive bodies. Heavy rains now flood the river--helpless and weak, bis tail and fins have no power to battle against the strong undertow and he Is swept along on his side once again into rapid water from his self-chosen watery tomb. Away far down the rive? is a little boy, holding a tflllow wand; attached to It is a line and hook baited with a small wriggling worm, fishing without any success for baby trout. The sharp-eyed boy perceives s strange floating object coming downstream; a moment later, ths great monster trout with white belly skyward is cast ashore right at his very feet.

He received a call from an Indianapolis merchant, who told him a check sent the company had been returned, marked, "no funds." Partly surprised, but more Indignant, he replied that such could hardly be the case. He recalled to himself that his balance should have taken care of the check, with one or two dollars to spare. He spoke to the merchant as if his balance would take care of a dozen such trivialities. In an apologetic manner tbg merchant muttered something about banks always making mistakes, and assured the young man that the check would be sent back t"o the bank at once. \ At home that night the young man found out one thing and remembered another.
