THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
He Tell * of Some Very Unpleasant Expe
riences With Mirrors.
"I have had , " said the retired bur
glar , "some very unpleasant experiences
with mirrors. I think I have told you
how I once fired at my reflection in a
mirror , mistaking it for another man
a mistake that I thought I should never
make again. But within two years after
that I struck at a man in a mirror , and
smashed the glass and smashed my hand
and made myself uncomfortable gener
ally. It may seem strange to you that a
man could make such mistakes , but in
a dim light , and where everything is
strange to him , and he's all sort of keyed
up himself , I don't know as it is after
all. Still , after that last experience I
did think it would be some time before
I had any more trouble with mirrors.
But within a year I had an experience
that was a great deal worse than either
- of them.
"When I came out of a room in a
house I was in one night , on the second
floor , looking down the hall this was
pretty near the front where I was I
saw the figure of- myself in a mirror at
the other end. It was plain enough ,
even in that light , but it startled me a
little at first , and I threw up my gun at
it. Of course the figure's hand went up
and down , just the same as mine did ,
and it made me kind of laugh to think
of it , and I could imagine the shadow
laughing , too , at a man who was afraid
of his own shadow.
"Then I went into the next room , and
when I came out of that into the hall
again my eyes sought the mirror again.
It wasn't very pleasant to see yourself
in the dark in that way , but it would
have been a mighty sight less pleasant
not to. But then I was all right , and I
stood and looked at it a minute and
threw up my arm at it same as before ,
just up and down , a sort of unnecessary
. test , but it made me feel just a little
easier , and up went the arm in the mir
ror with mine , but this time , when
mine came down , the arm in the mirror
staid up.
' "Now , don't raise your hands , ' the
man said , covering me with a gun in
his upraised hand , voice kind of drawl
ing , but meaning business , you know.
You know when a man means business ,
and this man did mean it , and I kept
my hands down.
" 'Oh , Bill ! ' he says , not moving a
muscle and not shouting it out , but just
kind of drawling it out like the other.
. "Then a man appeared beyond the
man that was holding me up , coming
toward him and mc. He walked right
through the mirror , past the other man ,
and kept coming. It was all plain
enough then. In fact , I'd guessed at it
before , as may be yon have. The mirror
wasn't a mirror at all , but a doorway ,
an opening midway of a long hall , and
the frame was the frame of the door
way. There were rooms beyond , just
the same as those on the side where I
was , and it was the doors of those that
I had seen in the mirror and not the re
flection of those on my side. And it
was out of one of those doors that Bill
came. The man with the gun had been
ready for me the first time I looked ,
but it must have been tiiat Bill wasn't
then. But Bill was ready now , and he
came on past the other man , careful to
keep out of his range , of course , mak
ing for me , and he came around behind
mo and took two or three turns of a rope
around my body and arms. Then the
man with the gun came up , and be
tween them they tied me up good and
strong. And that was a matter of some
four years. " New York Sun.
I.egal Equality.
The women are # again moving in the
state of Illinois in the interest of equal
ity before the law. God bless them and
God speed them in their righteous quest !
The shame is that it is left for the women
to lead. Let the men inaugurate the
movement that will make for justice.
This cause has lost its newness. It has
had to pay full price for the crudities
and extravagances that gather around
eveiy reform , but at the core the de
mand is a righteous one , and it must be
heard , and ultimately it must triumph.
Let no one lose heart and let no one de
lay any legitimate effort. Wyoming ,
Colorado , Utah and Idaho have fully
enfranchised their women. "Eastward
the star of ( this ) empire takes its way. "

BAD BREATH
' r
Is What ft Woman Dreads More
Thau Pestilence or Famine.
Aucl yet thousauds o women are
so afflicted. In spite of all they
can do this continues to grow worse ,
or at least grows no better. Tooth-
brashes and breath perfume seem
of no avail. The reason of their
failure is , in the majority of cases
at least , they do not know the cause
of their trouble. Perhaps the most
frequent cause of unpleasant breath
is catarrh. The inflammation of the
mucous membrane of mouth and
throat discolors the teeth , coats the
tongue , causes the lips to become
harsh and sore , and imparts a more
or less disagreeable odor to the
breath. Such a condition must be
an extreme aunoyance to the women
whose instincts are naturally dain
ty ; and she would do anything in.
her power to overcome it.
To all such women , the word
that Pe-ru-na will absolutely cure
catarrh , will therefore be good
news. Pp-ru-mi , bv removiu'j the
catarrh , sweetens the breath and
causes healthy secretions to take
the place of the irritating ones
which have been the cause of so
much discomfort. The teeth are
easily cleaned and the effects of a
brisk brushing remain. The tongue
resumes its natural color and the
unhealthy coating disappears. Ca
tarrh of the stomach also is often
the cause of foul breath. Pe-ru-na
cures catarrh wherever located.
A book of G4 instructively illus
trated pages on catarrh , of which
Dr. Hartman is the author , will be
sent free to any address for a short
time by The Pe-ru-na Drug Man

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glasj with urine and
let it stand twenty-four honrs ; a sediment or
settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is posi
tive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back is- also
convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed , that Dr. Kilmer 's Swamp Root , the
great kidney remedy , fulfils ever ) * wish in re
lieving pain in the back , kindeys , liver , blad

corrects inability to hold urine 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
get up many times during the night to urinate. ;
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medicine you
