No single disease has enIailed more suffering

A BRAVE GIRLS HARD LUCK.

The prairie fires, which have brought
desolstion and poverty In Dakota,
brought husband to one young woman.
A year ago last spring Fannie Jordan
took up farm of 16O acres about nine
miles from Frederick, and struck out
for herself. She came to Dakota from
Illinois, though she was born in the
East. Not much was known about her
for several months, as she was shy and
retiring, but when she finally became
acquainted with her neighbors, they dis
covered that the girl had the real mettle
in her, and predicted that she would be
rich before she was 80. Though far
from muscular, Fannie was the picture
of health, and she easily carried off the
palm as the best looking girl farmer in
the country. Like the majority of her
sisters she had no time to devote to the
gallants of the neighborhood, and for a
year and half she led hard, grinding
existence, practicing the closest economy,
and working from early morning until
late at night.
Some of her friends finally discovered
that the girl had history, as many such
heroic adventarers in this country have.
She had lived in comfortable circum-
stances in a rural Illinois town until the
death of her father revealed the fact that
he had lost not only his own property
but trust fund belonging to relative,
not yet of age, by his fatal propensity
for speeulating in the Chicago grain
market. The girl felt her position keen
ly, and, though she had expected soon to
be married, she resolutely turned from
her lover and sought the far West. She
had read of the success achieved by
young women as farmers in this vicin
ity, and persuading her mother that this
was their Only hope of regaining their
independence, and at the same time
making good the deficit of their hus>
band and father, the two converted what
little property they had into cash and
came here. Before their departure the
girl absolved the young man from his
pledges. but in answer to his repeated
requests gave him some slight hope that
at distant day, if he still remained of
the sa me mind, she might consider a
proposition from him. Under these cir
cumstances the work of breaking and
working farm in new country was
begun.
The first year, Fannie and her mother
had no help, and they did not succeed in
raising much. Not more than quarter
of their land was under cultivation, and
ther crops we're poor indeed. This year,
with the assistance of a boy, they did
better. They got more than half of the
farm in wheat, and the crop was an ex
ceptionally good one. Besides this, they
had fruitful garden, from which they
supplied their own wants, and derived a
small revenue. Their wheat, on which
they had already borrowed money, was
to have been threshed about two weeks
ago, but the machine did not arrive, and
it remained in great stacks near their
barn. Figuring on the results of their
two years work, mother and daughter
found that there was chance that this

THE REAPERS.

When the tired reapers, with fragrant
sheaves,
Come out of the corn, as the sun goes
down,
And the sky is rich as the falling leaves
In crimson and purple and golden
brown,
sit in the mellow and marvellous eyes
And watch, as the loom of the sunset
weaves
Its cloth of gold over country and town.
And 1 think how the summers have
come and gone
Since we saw the shuttle across the
blue
That wove the colors of dusk and dawn
When the musk Of the sleeping roses
flew
On the wings of the south wind over the
lawn,
And the evening shadows were longer
drawn,
And the sun was low. and the stars
were few;
When Love was sweet in the lives we
led
As the leaven that lives in the latter
spring
To grow in the flowers. the books we
read,
The romp and rush of the grape vine
swing,
In words and work, to be filled and fed
On brooks of honey and wasted bread,
And sung in the songs that we used
to sing.
And out of the shadows they come to me,
AS flowers of the spring come, year
by year,
The lovers We had when to love was
The stars were few and the skies were
clear,
And we knew it was happiness just to be,
Through the sheaves of the clOud-land
fair to see,
While the weary reapers are drawing
near.
Though the red and the white roses
have lost their leaves
In the ashes of summers long ago,
They come, through the mellow and
marvellous eyes,
With the harvest of love that we used
to SOW,
AS rich as the garlands the sunset
weaves
When tired reapers with fragrant
sheaves
Come out of the corn and the sun is
low.

Magazine for October.

RETURN.

The charm of the golden trees,
The glow of the autumn day,
And the garden walks with their mur'm-
ring bees,
Soothe all my cares away.
NV soul is sick of the strife
Where pulses never are stilled;
But here, in the rest of simple life,
Gods promise is fulfilled.
When the bramble bears its fruit,
And the mists creep over the lea,
And soft as the sound of distant flute
The sheep-bells chime to me.
When the bracken turns to gold,
And down in the winding lane
A little bird sings me the songs of old
Till youth comes back again;
Then trouble and pain depart,
And comfort and peace draw near,
And all the foes of timorons heart
Like phantoms disappear.
And the autumn lands grow fair
With light that seems divine;
And the treasures l left in childhood
there,
Once more are wholly mine.

"DR. S. B. HARTMAN, Columbus, Ohio,
Gentlemen: Some time since, l had occa-
sion to doubt the genuineness of most of
the articles that appear in different papers
inregard to your wonderful PERUNA, and
my curiosity was so great that 1 deter
mined to write to one of the many people
that claimed to have been cured by this
medicine, and accordingly wrote to Mrs.

county, and received the following reply"
81 received your letter this evening, and
in reply would say that PERUNA, l be-
lieve, saved my life, and l can not recon-
mend it too highly; for all complaints it
is the best medicine in existence. It
seems to help you as you swallow it. /
would advise any one suffering from my
complaint to take PERUNA and be con-
WINGED. Yours truly, Mrs. ]. w. Rey-

1t is truly wonderful how your medicine
does do good.

They helped me right away. l used nine
bottles ofPERUNA and three of MANALIN;

resume farming. 1 also had little child

in the stomach; we thought 1t would go

We gave it an injection of PERUEA and
warm water, and gave it a teaspoonful of
the medicine internally every half hour.

AN ancient Arabian philosopher said
"My son, GO not out of the house in the
morning till thou hast eaten something;
by so dosing thy wind will be more firm
and shouldst thou be insulted by any
person, thou wilt find thyself more dis
posed to suffer patiently; for hunger
dries up and disorders the brain" Hun
ger diminishes the bodily strength, thus
irritating and enfeebliDg the mind. If
study is to be pursued in the dark winter
mornings, have the room warm and some
light food prepared for the student. IT.
ritability is often the result of hunger.
Some persons, who are naturally amia
BILE, will become disagreeable snarlers
when they are hungry. A dear old lady
once told US that in the course of her
life she had always traced every feeling
of irritability to hunger. The instant
she felt the slightest inclination to be
dissatisfied with matters and things, she
had something to eat, and thus averted
dissgreeable results.

for short time, my headache disap-
Peared, and my stomach performed its

I have been greatly benefited by the

The First Sign

Of failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
