Aeoi'rlifisiLEAse's HUSBAND.
A Good Man in His Day and His Day In
Not Ended Yet.
Anent the slurs recently cast at Mrs
Lease, it is not generally known that
her husband is a man who has not
only the willingness to fight when oc-
casion requires it, but who has the
requisite brawn to do battle to a‘suc-
cessful conclusion. Charlie Lease was
a. mighty goodnian in his day, and his
day has not ended yet. He has had
only about two fights in the last ten
years, and unless somebody whc
doesn’t know him runs up against him
he won’t have a fight in the next ten
years.
The following instance will illus- '
trate Mr. Lease’s make up .to a dot:
He was a. salesman in the wholesale ‘
drugstore of Ben Aldrich. One day a
bully, who wanted to start a joint in a
neighboring town, came in to buy some
,‘drugs to put in front. He was a mean
chap and swore at Mr. Lease .fre~
quently and /applied disgraceful epi-
thets to him repeatedly. Mr. Lease'
smiled and treated his customer with
the utmost affability all the time. In
due time the sale was made, the goods
loaded on a dray and carted away. Mr. .
Lease took the money from his cus-l
I
tomer, gave him the change and thank-
ed him most kindly for his patronage.
As the fellhw went out on the side-
walk Mr.- Lease followed and hailed
him. “What’s the matter?” said the
bully roughly, ."isn’t everything set-
tied?” “Not quite all,” said Charlie,
“we- haven’t yet settled for those
names you called me,” and so saying,
be mapped. up the sidewalk and hall
a block of the gutter with his custom-
er.
I Saturday night, when the store was
about to be closed, a cash boy teld
Mr; Lease that he was wanted at the
desk of Mr. Aldrich. He thought
sure, that his cake was dough, but
when Ben Aldrich said “Charlie, your
wages are increased $5 a week,” he felt 5
better toward himself and the world,- _
and even the man he licked.——Kansaa l

LlNCOLN’S “ SELFISHNESS.”
In Order to Save His Peace of Mimi He
Rescued the: Pigs.
Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fel-
low-passenger on the old—time mud—wa—
gon coach, on the corduroy road which
antedated railroads, that all men were
prompted by selfishness in doing good
or evil. His fellow-passenger was an-
tagonizing this position when they
were passing over a corduroy bridge
that spanned a slough. As they cross-
ed this bridge and the mud-wagon was
shaking like a Sucker with the chills,
they espied an old razor—backed sow
on the bank of the slough making a
terrible noise because her pigs had got
into the slough and were unable to get
out, and in danger of drowning.
As the old coach began to climb
the hillside Mr. Lincoln called out,
"Driver, can’t you stop just a mo—
ment?” 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. Ba-
ker, the gallant General who gave his
life in defense of Old Glory at Ball’s
Bluff—did not object, when Mr. Lin-
:oln 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 he returned Colonel
Baker remarked, “Now, Abe, where
ioes selfishness come in on this little
episode ?” “Why, bless your soul, Ed,”
that was the very essence of selfish-
vess. I would have had no peace of
mind all day had I gone on and left
that suffering old sow worrying over
:hose pigs. I did it to get peace of
nind, don’t you see?"‘«-Springfleld

[ HOW. TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bettle or common glass 'with
urine and -let .-it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convmcmg proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish‘in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, Wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necesmty of being compelled to get up
many tlmes during the night to urin-
ate. 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 should have
the best. Sold_by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
00., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this afi'air.
