Judge Day sententiously says: “A
peace treaty can contain anytuing
which the victors put into it.” Yes,
and in this case ‘.he victors could have
put anything Into tbe treaty which

From all parte of the country there
are coming reports of a lowering of
rates of interest by savings banks. The
banks are receiving more money than
they can handle profitably. Many of
them are discouraging deposits, even
ala lowered rate of interest. Is this
because there is "not money enough
io ibe country to do the country's bus
iuess with" or because money is plen
tiful and becoming cheaper all tbe
time? asks an exchange.

Loader Bailey is prepaterous. He
denies the law of the law department
of tbe government, and be tramples
under his Texas feet congressional
precedents, extending from the war of
1812 to tbe civil war inclusive. He
now takes tbe position that General
Wheeler forfeited his seat when bo
took up tbe sword in tbe defense of bio
country, and that no act of tbe gallant
little general can congiessionally re
habilitate him.—Birmingham Age-
Herald,
Tbe most gorgeous, full-blown pearl
grey ass extant is now writing things
for tbe New York Press. He says that
the South is poverty-stricken, and
that it can never be otherwise because
3 attire made it poor and unproductive;
IX.t it cap pot even, raise grass; that
its vegetables and fruits are no good,
and that Florida’s oranges are being
'.‘wiped off the board" by the superior
products of California. The most
truthful and direct reply that could be
made to xny such statement would not
look well in print, is the way tbe Sa
vannah News expresses it.

Mr. A. C, Thomas, of Marysville,

Klondike. For yeara be suffered untold
agony from consumption, accompa

marvelous cure; would have it,even if

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble;
too frequent desire to pass it or pain in th*
back is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and 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
tbe back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. It corrects
inability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad'effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
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 tbe high
est for its wonderful cures of tbe most dis
tressing cases. If yon need a medicine yon
should have the beet. At druggists, fifty
cento or one dollar.
You may h <ve a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail. if you send your
address to Dr. Kilmer Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous offer

’The Greatest Ever Known?
MUTUAL LffIMINCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars
of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banka was insured for ’ w’noe no
The dividends amounted to. w
Paid to the estate $17,028 00
How does this happen? ’Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. 8 5 ’ 000 '
. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan.
Original insurance in
Dividend additions paid in 1898, ..12,028.00
Amount of death claim • •
54 Premiums paid by insured 8,040. w
Realized to estate over premiums paid * • • • •
Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2i) per
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,00*
at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. .
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, ot all the premiums
paid for tbe insurance.
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings
Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety>-four. He appreciated the
power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of
his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.
For best plans of insurance please consult me.
