An exciting runaway, while it last

horse and placed a nose bag on it
to feed. The horse made a dash
down toward the railroad station, up
on the sidewalk, barely missing one
of the front show windows of Dr. A.

next passed through the • railroad
gates on the side toward the station
and up on the sidewalk in front of
the Pioneer hotel, where the wagon
turned over on its side after strik
ing a telephone pole. Boxes of candy
were thrown about in confusion and
the wagon almost wrecked. The
horse wns caught au(\ turned over to
(he driver. An'.ther wagon was se
cured from William Penton and the
driver continued on his route.

TAKE Tl MAN sloVIGE
It always givo me pleasure to rec
ommend anything that is right and
so I feel it my duty to herald the
praises of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
For years I was troubled with kid
ney disease and it was so Intense that
I was bedridden for days at a time.
I gave up all hope and doctors for
miles around gave me no help. Inci
dentally I tried several patent reme
dies and at last tried Swamp-Root.
From the first it gave me relief and
it was no time before I was able to
be up and around and now I am per
fectly well and able to work as I
used to before my terrible sickness.
So now let me thank you for your
wonderful discovery and take this op
portunity to recommend it to all who
suffer from kidney troubles.
Yours very truly,
WALTER SHIRVER,
Hope, Ark.

Beware of Fakirs!
i Don't buy glasses from peddlers.
Your eyes are too important to you
to be ruined by incompetent service.
If you buy glasses from peddlers you
not only obtain incompetent service,
but you also pay exhorbitant prices.
' A competent man is not afraid to
remain in a fixed place he guarantees
•Ilia goods and offers redress for dis
| satisfied customers but the same ped
| dler is i-ever seen twice by his victim.
I For this very reason he does not
hesitate to offer inferior goods and
yet charge higher prices,

antees his work, and who offers re
