Suffered Twenty-One Years
Finally Found Relief
Having suffered for twenty on<
years with a pain in my side, 1
finally have found relief in Dr
Kilmer’s Swamp Bout. Injections
of morphine were my only rebel
for short periods ol time. 1 be
came so sick that 1 bad to under
go a surgical operation in New
Orleans, which benefited me foi
two years. When the same pain
came back one day 1 was so sick
that 1 gave up hopes of living. A
friend advised me to try youi
Swamp Hoot and 1 at once com
inenced using it. The first bolt I
did me so much good that I pui
chased two more bottles. I au
now on my second b ittlc and au
'feeling like anew woman. I
passed a gravel stone as large as a
big red bean and several small one*-.
I have not had the least feeling ol
pain since taking your Swamp
Hoot and I feel it my duty to r< e
commend this great medicine t<
ail su if* ring humanity. < i rateful I

PERIL ON A MOUNTAIN PEAK.
Explorer Annie S. Peck’s Wild Slide
Down Huascaran.
In “A Search For the Apex of
America” M>? Annie S. Peek re
counts a dangerous experience
which befel her in the Andes in the
descent of Mount Huascaran. She
wore a pair of vicuna mittens, with
two thicknesses of fur, one turned
out.-ide and one inside. They t*e
cume too warm, and she exchanged
them for woolen mittens. The fur
mittens she handed over to the
Kudolf, to put in his ruck
sack.
Coining out at length ou a ridge
where we were more exposed to the
wind, I felt the need of my vicuna
mittens and asked for them. Ru
dolf replied, "I have lost one.”
I was angry and alarmed, but it
was useless to talk, i hastily put
my woolen mittens on my left hand,
the vicuna fur ou ray right. The
wind grew stronger, and 1 suddenly
realized that my left hand was in
sensible and freezing. Twitching
oil my mittens, 1 found that the
hand was nearly black. Rubbing it
vigorously with snow, 1 soon had it
aching badly, which signified that
circulation had begun, but it would
surely freeze again in the colder
hours of the late afternoon.
My overcaution in taking along
the poncho now proved my salva
tion. This heavy blanket, with a
slit in the middle, slipped over ray
head, kept me fairly warm to the
end. At the same time it was awk
ward to wear and was almost the
cause of my deatli on the way down.
But for the loss of my fur mitten
I should not have been compelled
to wear it.
Mv recollection of the descent i.
like" a horrible nightmare. The
poncho would sway in the wind and
sometimes conceal the spot where
my foot should be placed. Once I
missed the step and slipped down
on the smooth slope. 1 expected
nothing serious, but to my horror I
did not remain where I was. Still
sitting, 1 began to slide down that
glassy, ghastly incline. As we were
ull nearly in the same line l slid ut
least fifteen feet before coming to
h halt, checked by the rope.
The guides called to me to get
up, but being all in a heap with the
rope tight round my waist 1 was
unable to move. The guides there
fore came together just above and
hauled me up the slope. .
\guin and again I slipped. Once
when I hud slipped 1 was astonish
ed to see Kudolf dart by me. Ga
briel’s strong arm alone saved us all
from destruction. Had he given
way we should all, after sliding
some distance, have dropped from
the clill into a terrible abyss thou
sands of feet deep. At last Gabriel
said, “Now we are safe." \Ve bad
emerged from those perilous de
clivities and reached the slope
above the tent.
Curious Marriage Custom.
A curious marriage custom pre
vails among the islanders of Jersey.
As soon us the ceremony is over,
and when the happy couple are en
tering into occupation of their
house the larger granite slab over
the porch is inscribed with the in
itials of the bride and bridegroom,
and between the two a rough repre
sentation of two hearts is entwined,
the whole thus forming a marriage
certificate for all the world to see.
It is said that should the couple by
any chance be one day divorced
the hearts are pierced through by
an arrow, which is cut into them.—
London Globe.
King Cotton.
According to the common under
standing, the expression “king cot
ton,” or “cotton is king,” was first
used by the Hon. James H. Ham
mond in the year 1858. Hammond
was from the state of South Caro
lina, the chief product of which
commonwealth was cotton. Mr.
Hammond’s idea was that cotton,
being the great commercial export
of this country and the chief arti
cle of manufacture in Great Brit
ain, was “king” and that no politics
was allowable that crossed the grain
of the “king’s” interests.
Making It Worse.
“I cannot bear actors,” a lady at
a garden party remarked to her
fascinating companion. “They are
so conceited.”
“But I’m an actor myself,” was
the rejoinder, “and surely you don’t
th ink I’m conceited ?”
“Ob, certainly not!” answered the
lady in some confusion, “I only
meant the really good ones!”
Cunning of the Fox.
Hunters say it is very rare for
mother foxes to leave all their
younsr in one place. It is their cun
ning habit to scatter the family,
one and two in widely separated re
treats. It is said, too, that foxes
will not rob roosts close to their
dens, but will go miles away for
food and carefully hide their trail#.
