Coming out. they were separated in the crow d, but he soon saw her a little ahead of hila on tin- -idewtrilr. She wa- walking with a friend, lie recognized herback. her hair, her wit le figure and her very gait He saw her p. .tteiuuunale sticking out of a pocket. "Careless woman ! I'll teach her a le■-on. ” He lamo tip softly and -eeun-d easily the wallet as though he had served ap preti: . ship at a fashionable sel 'cl for pickpocket-. Then he wont to the club to discuss for an hour the religious topics of the day. At home he heard no weeping; he saw no symptoms of distress or despair. The day went by. No complaint. Mon day night after dinner ho ■ mid not re strain himself longer. ‘ I forgot to get any money at the office today. Will you let me have j.> and some change? I must go out this evening. ” Smiling acquiescence. The wife brings in her jwrtemonnaie. “Will this be enough. ’’ And yet he had her portemon nalc that moment in his pocket. Con sternation Confession. To whom did i the porteinonnaie belong? It contained $75 or SBO. Next Sunday the finding of a pocketbook was announced from the pul pit. Nobody claimed it. It belonged prob ably to some traveler who was much im pressed by the character of Boston church- 1 goers. The huslsind gave the money to the church. The wife still carries her portemonnaie as it seems good to her.— Boston Journal. OASTOniA. Bears the Tte Kind You Hava Always 80-vrt * S£: ;-" 1 For Diabetes use Stu art’s Gin and Biichu, REHOBOTH.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your wncr and let it stand ’.weuty-four hours ; as; liment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire tn pass it or pain in the back ’.so convincing proof that the kid neys usd bladder are out of order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so of ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain | in passing it, or had effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled I to go often during the day, and to get up many times tluring the night. The mild ' and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents or one dollar.
