Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or ou! of order, you can understand now quickly you* entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or "feel badly" begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Boot, because as soon as your kidneys begin to get better they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. I was out of health and run down generally; had 00 appetite, was dtzzv and suffered with headache most of the time. I did not know that my kidneys were the cause of my trouble, but somehow felt that they might be, and I began taking Swamp-Root, There is such a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it poes right to the spot and drives disease cut of the system. It has cured me, making me stronger and better in every way, and I Cheerfully recom­ mend it to all sufferers. Gratefully yours, - . w**- A . I*. W ALKER, 331 East Linden St., Atlanta, Ga. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suffering and fatal results are cure to follow.

"Are we human beings, or ani­ mals of low degree?" His very dar­ ing made him eloquent. "As individu­ als, have we rights that this body cor- porate is bound to respect? In enter­ ing Paradise as citizens we have vol­ untarily thrown off the yoke of alle­ giance -to every reigning potentate in the world. We threw off the yoke because we thought our bonds too heavy, the laws too strict, and the privileges too few. In vowing alle­ giance to the king and laws of Paraa- dise, we expected more freedom and more rights--we did not expect to be made slaves! If I obey the law, has any one person the right to punish me for nothing, Is the king better than you or 1? Is he supreme, the owner, body and soul of the subjects over which he rules? Would I be a man to stand idly by and allow him, or any oth^r man, to strike me and not strike back? I say No! "Ladies and gentlemen! Louis Lang, the man you see in the arena there covered with blood, incurred the enmity of the king--as you know --by .winning the heart and hand of Pearl Huntington, this woman here whom the king wished to be revenged upon. If there is any law we are bound to respect it is an honorable marriage. It w&s no honorable mar­ riage our king wished with this wom­ an. But Louis Lang, as an honorable man, saved her from a life of misery and shame. There is not a married man among us who would not have done the same! (Great applause.) For daring to thwart the king he was condemned to work a year in the mines! I claim that not even the king has the right to condemn an Innocent man to slavery for revenge. deafening. If Golden' had tteett" Al­ lowed to put his proposition ^instantly there could have been but one solu­ tion to the problem. But before the test was taken, Schiller rose to his feet and began hist reply to the ar­ raignment - CHAPTER XXH£ Schiller Makes a Proposition to Lang. "Before you vote," said Schiller, ris­ ing to his feet, and by a gesture with his hand commanding silence, "citi­ zens of Paradise, allow me to say a word. I have allowed Golden to say his say; now I want mine. Golden has accused me of crimes I am not .guilty of. Louis Lang is a convict; I sentenced him to death, not through spite but because he struck me--me, the king! It Is a fit and the only pun­ ishment for that crime. I did hot de­ tain his wife in my palace, though it is true that Bhe was found at my home. She came to my palace and asked the whereabouts of her father and I told her be was safe. Because she did not see her father, she said, 'I will not believe it!' She doubted my word, and said, 'I will remain here until you bring my father to me!' It pras not my place to argue with her; I- ordered my guard to remove her. While the guard was doing so, T was visited by Lang, Golden and Rogers. Lang saw the struggle between the guard and his wife, and struck him; I was about to explain to Lang the circumstance of his wife being in my house when the ruffian sprang upon me and struck me! "Even then, under the circum­ stances, I would not" have exacted the penalty from Lang but I was dared to do it by Golden and Rogers, who, no doubt, saw a chance to dare me to do what my conscience forbid me. It is but a put-up scheme to ruin me. I am willing to obey the people; my actions have always been above board, "Every word that he has uttered is a lie!' .. ;V - - • Last night, after working hard in the mines all day, he came home, expect­ ing to find his loving wife waiting for him. Was she there? No! Tracing her to the very palace of the king, Lang dared to tell the tyrant to his face that he was detaining her against her will. Whalen, whose body you see lying in the dust before you, has paid the penalty of less than this with his life. Convict or no convict, I would have killed the man, king or subject who would have dared to lay his hands upon my wife. (Applause.) "I maintain that when a man en­ ters this place and takes the oath of allegiance to our law, that he has rights that we are bound to respect. Because we have found it necessary to be here is no sign that we are beasts--human brutes! (Applause.) We are banded together for mutual benefit, not to embrace slavery! (Right! Right!) Dr. Huntington, the doctor who was abducted away from his home and wife and brought here against his will, took the. oath of allegiance this morning. He is now a citizen of Paradise as much as you or I. He has never done us any harm; why should he be condemned to serve the rest of his time in our hospital without the privileges usually grant­ ed to men of talent and honor? If he is compelled to remain and work for us, should we not at least attempt to make it pleasant for him in return? At least allow him; the privilege of breathing, unfettered, the fresh air once in a while, and sleeping near to one he loves. We should not stoop to revenge. We are not devoid of all feeiling! Schiller, though he be ki&g, has no right to torture his helpless victim, and we as men should not al­ low him to do so. There can no good come from allowing injustice to tram­ ple upon our laws, and I ask you, the people of Paradise, to grant me the privilege of allowing Dr. Huntington the privilege of our city the same as any other free man. "Louis Lang has paid the penalty for his crime--if crime it may be called--in striking the man who would so far forget himself as to war on women. Now that again he has proven himself a man of nerve and honor, I would ask ydu to grant him complete freedom. It appears that the king hesitates to pronounce the victor free! "While I am in the mood of asking and while the people's minds are so vividly wrought up with the scenes here enacted to-night, I wish to ask that the king be deprived of the power of life and death! that we establish a court of Justice, wherein, before a man can be sentenced to death, he first shall be tried and proven guilty. There is such a thing as going too far, and I think our king has gone too far in condemning Lang to death without trial. If our king is a true man, he will not object to having his further actions made known; but if he wishes to rule as' a tyrant, he plainly shows that he is not a fit per­ son to rule at all! What is the will of the people?" The applause that greeted Golden at the conclusion of his speech was and. if they wanfr me to abdicate, I, for one, am ready to do so!" That was all he said. He felt that he had made out a very plausible tale--if for no other reason than of the power he held. "Now I wish to say a word!" said Rogers. "Our king has accused me of inciting him to do a wrong. A poor excuse for a man in the exalted posi­ tion of our king! But every word that he has uttered is a lie! And his ac­ tions, this base ̂ subterfuge, shows him to be but a coward! A scoundrel born and bred!" Schiller's face was livid, twice or thrice he essayed to arise, but only to fall back in his chair, trembling with excitement (or fear). "I saw Lang strike the king. I would have done the same under the same circumstances. What made I.ang a cohvict here in the first place? I will tell you. Schiller wanted to put Gold­ en out of the way and Louis Lang nipped the plot in the bud; that's the reason--and our great king now wants revenge on Lang!" Rogers hit the bull's-eye. "I agree with* Rogers there!" ex­ claimed a voice, and Sam Pearson stood up. "I have been a tool of Schiller's long enough. I was present when he made the offer to Revolver Rob to kill Golden. I liko fair p!ay, and I will not stand by and see him- condemn an honest man !o death, who has not harmed anyone, just for the pleasure of revenge. I think the king has gone far enough!" The suddenness of tl e uprising of the people stunned Schiller. I-Ie was helpless in the net he had woven for others. ' . "I do not wish to hri'ng my case before 'the people," said Golden, who really <lid not want to be tendered the crown at this time for fear of the after-climax, and who also saw a chance for a masterstroke of diplo­ macy. "I can take care of myself if only you give me a fair chance. I do not, however, want to see injustice done to anyone., It is tine to quit ihis revenge business and grant Lang and Huntington the freedom of our city. I think the people good enough to rule, and Rogers and I, as the ma­ jority of the Council of Three, think these people punished enough. What do the people think?" 'i , "Life to Lang!" was the cry. "Make Golden king!" was another shout. And the turmoil was deafen­ ing. , "We accept your pardon of Lang," said Golden, "but I do not wish to be king. Neither Rogers nor I hold any grudge against Schiller--all we want is to see justice done! Curb his maj­ esty a little; make his office one of mayor; see if he is not worthy of trust, and make a man of hiac. If that don't work then make Rogers king--there's a man for you!" "So be it!" was the cry. "We w!<il give him another chance!" The people having expressed them­ selves, the meeting broke up. Golden and Rogers were overwhelmed vrith praise for their action in befriending the helpless (?), and Lang was as­ sisted home on the shoulders of a crowd or enthusiasts who were. ried away with the youth's marvelous exhibition of skill in dunlins. Schiller was scarcely noticed when he tgok himself from the amphitheater--a beaten man. However he v/as not one to give up easily. For a brief spell our party had a rest from labor and worry. Golden, at ths request of Lang, was able to send a letter written by the doctor to Mrs. Huntington, ndtifying that lady of the safety of her husband and child. Wilson was the only person who was not made more comfortable than before by the exposure of Schiller. Rogers would have pardoned him--or had him pardoned--but Louis and Wil­ son both felt that it was better that he remain in the mines as before. Wil­ son's place was an easy one, and his privileges about as many as if not confined at all. The two detectives were in hopes that he could be mads of assistance in gathering the con­ victs together and in furnishing ma­ terial with which the miners could blow up the mines ia making their escape. •; r. ' Dr. Huntington, when "he was made aware that his letter had been sent to his wife, was at ease, comparatively, and looked upon his detention as a matter of no, great importance. He gained the respect of the citizens by his kindness a&d care in sickness and. was looked upon as a valuable acqui­ sition to the city. Dr. Huntington had great hopes of ultimately being made free, of being allowed to return to his wife. Somehow or other Pearl's welfare did not seem to trouble him much. There was something about Lang that forced the doctor to trust our hero implicitly. As Schiller had been somewhat restricted in power, no fear was entertained from that source. (To be continued.)

While going through Maine, Evan­ gelist Moody happened to be in the town of Waterford, where he neard of John White, who had the reputation of working on Sunday, although all tne ministers in the neighboring towns had argued with him and tried to stop it. Mr. Moody decided to try his luck with him, and after a long talk succeeded in convincing him that it was wrong to work on Sunday. The next Sunday White was In church and his name enrolled. In a few days Mr. yoody left the town, feeling that he had done a thing which had proved too difficult for others, and that at least one sinner in that town had been turned from the error of his way. A few weeks later, while driving a load of lumber into the town, White1 was met by the deacon of the church, and the following conversation en- sued: "Now, Mr. White," said the dea­ con, "isn't there a difference since the spirit of God has entered your soul?" "Yes, there is quite a difference," arswered White, frankly.

The violet gowns, the real violet shades, soft and wonderfully attrac­ tive, make up into the most charming gowns. There is a distinction about them, a refinement of coloring, which renders them very fetching, and the bats which match them are well worth consideration. Very curious are the combinations of colors used in orna­ menting these violet-colored hats. When ostrich feathers, either in white or in the violet tones, are used the problem of decoration is solved with little or no difficulty, but when it comes to the flower trimmings there is unlimited scope for novel effects. The French tinsel flowers In pale greens are used with good results on one violet beaver; shaded roses, which embrace every conceivable shade of the violet and plum shades, are em­ ployed to give distinction to another model hat, the shading being so ex­ quisitely graded that the violets are merged into the reddish hues of the! plum without any discordant the coloring. > ' Two Original Cofor Schemes. ' ^• A rather odd combination of colors worn at a recent wedding combined hlue, white, yellow and violet. The 'bridesmaids' frocks were of blue taffe­ ta, with bolero jackets of Irish crochet Their hats were white beaver, trim­ med with blue plumes, and their neck laces were slender gold chains, having pearl and amethyst pendants. Each carried a large bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. At an Irish wedding there was a much prettier combination of wreaths of pink heather and white tulle veils tor the bridesmaids. Thetie topped pink gowns. pie, was in a moderately large plaia -; shaded through turquoise blues, grays and white. It was made with a very ^ simple circular skirt cut with broad flare and with a bias seam down the front. The bolero was draped in big soft plaits and its revers turned back, *5 showing at top and bottom of the r fronts of the little waistcoat made of ffl turquoise blue velvet. There was a - position back to the bolero, and the - buttons, large and small, which trim* i- med the bolero were particularly at- tractive, being shaded turquoise of rough, wave-like surface, set in narrow 0. rlma of di^ll gold. , A Nest Little Coat /.

For relieving light shades of blue and for millinery, tur­ quoise, peacock and kingfisher have superseded the ubiquitous Alice blue, although the latter is still used to some extent. . The use of blue with black is one of the features of the season, and the greenish blues have first place. A touch of gold, too, is considered extremely smart. Pepper Cases for Salmon. Pick one can of salmon, or fresh salmon, make a sauce of one table- spoonful of butter, one of flour, one cup of milk, the yolk of one egg, a little lemon juice and some parsley chopped fine, salt and add the salmon to this. Take six green peppers, cut, off the tops, take out the seeds and put them in cold water for two hours before using. When ready for use take out of the water, dry them and fill with the salmon mixture. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top, place in a pan and bake about twenty minutes in a brisk oven. Advertising by Proxy. Miss Caroline Powell of Boston It the only woman wood en graver in America. Miss Powell was a ptfpff of Timothy Cole and at a dinner re­ cently she said of her master: "Mr. Cole had a horror of stingy * persons. He was continually railing: against such people, continually point ing out to us glaring examples oi! meanness and greed. "He said one day that he had heard that morning of the meanest woman in the world. "She called before breakfast at the house of a ceighbor of his and said: "'Madam, I see that you have ad­ vertised in the papers for a cook.' ' " 'Yes, I have,' returned the other: 'but surely you are not after the place?' " 'No,' said the stranger, 'but I only live two blocks away from you, and since I need a cook myself, I thought you might send to me all the appli­ cants you reject.'" Cultivating Pond Lilies. A Saco florist who has been eB- gaged in cultivatirg flowers and veg­ etables for years conceived the idea that the raising of pond lilies would prove profitable. He went to work, or at least hired men to do the ,work, with the .result that this summer he had a o pond of lilies that was not eclipsed by any in New England. His pond, while small compared with some in Massachusetts, being 300 by 60 feet, yields thousands of blooms during a season. During August it has been no uncommon thing for him to pick 600 lilies a day. There Is a ready market for the lilies in the big cites, the prevaling pricc being $4 a hnndred.--Kenn«bee,4eiijr nal. Smart Visiting Frock. A delightful suggestion for a ligtft- weight wool frock is soft dull blue henrletta cloth and the skirt is of fine tucks over the hips. Epaulets have regained much of their lost prestige, being well adapted to the rather high, wide shoulder of the prevailing outline and are introduced here made of white cloth embroidered in black. The bo­ dice is cut down square to show a chemisette of white lace over white satin. Bands of embroideV matching the epaulets border the ends of short sleevs, which are filled In with a frill of lace, 2* ^ A Smart Practical The design sketched here is intend­ ed for development in a soft woolen fabric such as novelty serge, albatross seams to be fitted and closing In box style. The square sailor collar is always a becoming feature of small garments, while the trim cuff at the wrist gives a pretty finish. The un­ derarm seams are left open for a fhort distance to allow more room for the dress skirt and give the garment a chic touch. Serge, cheviot, broad­ cloth or homespun would develop this coat well for cold weather, and adorn­ ment may be added In the form of nar­ row braid or stitching. Attractive Dinner Gown. Pink cloth in any one of the many delicious tones of pink is to be much liked for restaurant luncheon or din­ ner and demi-toilet evening wear and whole gowns of this material beauti­ fully embroidered and relieved by lace are displayed by the importers. One model Is decidedly smart. The gown Is decidedly smart. The gown is built on the princesse lines, severely plain, save three deep tucks around the bot torn and fitting perfectly over the hips and front. A dainty bolero packet has revers of cloth embroidered in pink silk and edged with a narrow ruffle of cream lace. The vest is cloth of gold and small gold buttons are used for decoration. or henrletta and elaborated with panne velvet girdle and revers with a bit of embroidery for vest and cuffs. The skirt Is a very graceful circular model having a pretty flounce about the bottom which parts in frOnt to sug- gfst an oversklrt. "'" Complexion and Diet. A had complexion is often due to malnutrition. Matters will be. im­ proved If a glass of either hot or cold water be sipped on waking and an hour before each meal. This washes away the mucus from the lining of the stomach, and the food is absorbed in consequence. Plenty of milk and some of the well known prepared foods should be taken, says the Brook­ lyn Times. A small quantity of meat will suffice, with plenty of stewed fruit and vegetables. An apple at breakfast will help the good causa. French Models In Plaftls. Some of the French models In plaids deserve recognition both for their beau­ ty of coloring and for the cleverness with which the difficult materials have been handled.

Green, unripe apples are used, as these give a very clear jelly. The" mint Is added In the proportion of one teaspoonful of extract, made by steeping a cupful of mint leaves for one hour In a cup­ ful of hot water to one cupful of ap­ ple juice. The moisture may be press­ ed from the mint leaves by rolling them in cheese cloth. This gives a liquid that colors the jelly a dellcat* v?Ssll-erge Black Hat.,. The increased importance of the crown is perhaps the most distinctive feature of the present day millinery, and the large black hat has a moder­ ately high flat top crown that Is one of the novelties. Black satin and black plumes are frequently associated in the trimming, but upon felt or beaver hats black velvet is used more often than satin. In one case the crown is encircled with velvet, and at left side, where brim turns abruptly, there te a bunch of handsome black plumes^ Of Brown Velvet.
