    fl / * ' NAPOLEON'S VALUE OF VICTORY
B It Kinds a Striking Counterpart In
B Recent World Triumphs.
B Napoleon knew well the value or a
j H victory. After Au.sterlitz the world
H seemed his. Fame invited , fortune fn-
H ! vored , everything stimulated his aspir-
B ing-nuibition. With growing power he
B gatheied the fruits of victory. And so
B has it ever been. Success succeeds. A
1 uotHble illustration of this truth is fur-
| B nished by the great victories won at the
H World's Fair in ' 93 and the California
H Midwinter Fair in ' 94 by Dr. Price's
B ] Cream Baking Powder. Ever increasing
| H < sales and popularity have been the rc-
H suit. The people have promptly ratified
H the official vei. .ict that declared Dr.
H B Price's , for leavening power , keeping
H qualities , purity and general excellence
H the "foremost baking powder in all the
H world. . " Quite as quickly as the great
H Emperor do they know the value of a
B victory that means worldwide supremacy.
H I had the rheumatism so badly that I
H could not get my hand to my head. I
H tried the doctor's medicines without the
B least benefit. At last I thought of Cham-
H bcrlain's Fain Halm ; the first bottle re-
H lieved all the pain , and owe-half of the
H second bottle effected n complete cure

1 ONE OF TWO WA YS. ' '
H H The bladder was created for one pnrpose ,
H B namely , a receptacle for the urine , and as such
H B 'l ls not liable to any form of disease except
H HJ by one of two ways. The first way is from im-
B B perfect action of the kidneys. The second ,
B B waV 's from careless local treatment of other
H B diseases.
B I CHIEF CAUSE.
H Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
H B the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the
B K womb , like the bladder , was created for one
H m purpose , and if not doctored too much is not
H S liable to weakness or disease , except in rare
B f § cases. It is situated back of and very close to 1
H j the bladder , therefore any pain , disease or in-
H K convenience manifested m the kidneys , back ,
H m bladder or urinary passage is often , by misH -
H m take , attributed to female weakness or womb
B trouble of some sort. The error is easily made
B and may be as easily avoided. To find out
B correctly , set your urine aside for twenty-four
B hours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney
| or bladder trouble. The mild and extraordi-
H nar > ' effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root ,
B t'lc ' great kidney , and bladder remedy is
B soon realized. If you need a medicine j
H you should have the best. At all druggists 1
B fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a 1
B sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by
H mail. Mention The Tribune and send your
H address to Dr. Kilmer & Co. , Binghamton , N. |

A FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER.
Mrs. Cameron , Who Was a Friend of
UorJoh' > l and Tennyson.
In The Century V. 0. Scott O'Con
nor has an article on "Mrs. Cameron ,
Her Friends and Her Photographs. "
Mr. O Counor says :
A feature of her personality which lay
ut the root cf her great snecess as a
photographer was her love of all that
was beautiful. "Shownsnlwaystoolcby
a face , " as nu old woman in Freshwater
v'ho remembers her put it to mo.
Charles Turner said the Famu thing in
poet's languugo when ho told her , in the
sonnet ho addressed to her on leaving
the isle of Wight after a visit , that she
"loved nil loveliness. " In obedience to
this impulse she invariably stopped and
spoke to any one , however unknown ,
whether in a great Loudon thoronghfaro
oravillago laue , whoso beanty attracted
her. "I am Mrs. Cameron , " she would
say. "Perhaps you have heard of mo.
You would oblige mo very much if you
would let me photograph you. Will you
let mo do so ? " And by such bold aud
unconventional means she prevailed on
many , absolute strangers though they
were , to sit to her.
Ono of her models captured in this
way was a yonug lady como as a sum
mer visitor to Freshwater. Mrs. Camer
on , engrossed at that time in some remarkably -
markably fiuo studies illustrative of the
"Idylls of the King , " was at a loss for
a model for Queen Guinevero. But the
advent of the fair stranger settled all
her doubts. Hero was a beauty suited to
her purpose , and within the hour she
had carried her off to lunch and subse
quent photography.
The lady proved a most kind and indefatigable -
defatigablo model. Thevillago postman
had already been secured for King Ar
thur , and Mrs. Cameron's picture of
him in this character is ono of the best
things in the collection. A friend , going
ono day to Dimbola , found the young
lady looking rather fatigued.
"Oh. " she said , with an expressive
gesture , " 1 am so tired. "
Supposing her fatigue was the result
of a long walk on a midsummer day ,
my friend made some snitublo refereuco
to the matter , but the young lady an
swered with a smile :
"Oh , no. I have not been for a walk.
I have been lying on the floor for the
last two hours , clutching the postman's
ankle. "
Mrs. Cameron , ever kind and un
selfish , possessed the faculty of bringing
out such qualities in others. In 1879
she died , a few mouths after her last re
turn to Ceylou.
"As the day died , " her sous wrote to
Lord Tennyson , "as the clay died on
Sunday , .lannary the 2(5th ( , the sweet ,
tender , gracious spirit of our beloved ' '
mother passed away in peace. " No ;
death could have been more calm , more
beautiful , than hers
Lincoln's "Selfishness. "
Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fellow
passenger on the old time mud wagon 1
coach on the corduroy road which antedated - ]
dated railroads that all men were j
prompted by selfishness in doing good
or evil. His fellow passenger was an
tagonizing his position , when they were
passing over a corduroy bridge that
spanned a slough. As they crossed this
bridge and the mud wagon was shaking
like a Sucker with chills , they espied
an old razorbacked sow on the bank of
the slough , making a terrible noise be
cause her pigs had got into the slough
and were unable to get ont and in dan
ger of drowning. As the old coach be
gan to climb the hillside Mr. Lincoln
called out , "Driver , can't you stop just
a moment ? " The driver replied , "If the
other feller don't object. " The "other
feller" who was no less a personage
than at that time Colonel E. D. Baker ,
the gallant general who gave his life in
defense of Old Glory at Ball's Bluff did
not "object , " when Mr. Lincoln jumped
out , ran back to the slough and began
to lift the little pigs out of the mud and
water and place them on the bank.
When ho returned , Colonel Eaker re
marked , "Now , Abe , where does selfish
ness como in on this little episode ? " 1
"Why , bless you soul , Ed , that was the
very essence of selfishness. I would j
have had no peace of mind all day had
I gone on and left that suffering old sow 1
worrying qver those pigs. I did it to get
peace of mind , don't you see ? " Spring

Paying the Cook.
In old times to dine with a nobleman
cost more in tips to the servants than a
club dinner. James Payn relates that
Lord Poor , a well named Irish peer , ex
cused himself from dining with the
Duke of Ormoncl upon the ground that
he could not afford it. "If you will
give me the guinea I have to pay your
cook ( fancy ! ) , I will como as often as
you choose to ask me , ' * which was accordingly - •
cordingly done. The duke , however , had ,
not the pluck to stop the practice. Lord j
Taafe , a general officer in the Austrian !
service , did what he could. He always
attended his guests to the door. When J
they put their hands into their pockets , I
ho said : "No. If you do give it , give it !
to me , for it was I who paid for your <
dinner. " To Sir Timothy Waldo must •
be given the credit of putting an end to
the monstrous practice. After dinner
with the Duke of Newcastle he put a
crown into the cook's hand. It was re
jected. " 1 do not take silver , sir. "
"Very good , and I do not give gold. "
This courageous rejoinder "caught on , "
and the day of vails to cooks was over
