Pete, to dream of all sorts Of Christmas
delights.
And Mrs. Brown good naturally for
gave Patsey's somewhat unconventional
enthusiasm.
The treat for the newsboys this par
ticular year was an entertainment
given by some young people who were
charitably inclined and who had nothing
else to give. 1t was presented in a hall
very near the homo the night before
Christmas, and all the boys having re-
ceived free tickets were glad TO go.
Among other attractive numbers on the
programme was one song, sung by q
beautiful little girl with yellow hair,
who was dressed all in white and seemed
likean angel to the newsboys, who looked
ut her with awe. The boys could hear
every word, for child's utterance in
singing is always very distinct, and the
voice that sung to them was SO soft and
musical that it seemed to float all around
the room. This is what they heard:
Fear not. for behold, bring you good tdngs
Of great Joy, which shall be TO nll people. For
unto you Il born this day In the city Of David,
Saviour which Is Christ the Lord.
The song repeated itself as the music
changed and again tho boys HEARD

There were other features--humorous
beautiful and bright, but none took such
hold on little Pete as this. He dreamed

looking 80 happy in spite Of his worn
clothes and cheap, clumsy shoes that
many whom he met smiled at him.
A fragment of that beautiful song
again sounded in his ears The city Of
David He would find it himself, Pete
thought, and though it was but step
further to the home he turned and went
up another street, resolved to ask a DO
hceman. None appeared, and he walked
on and on, thinking that perhaps the
city he sought was next to his own city,
and if he could only get outside of that
great place he could find what he sought.
More and more tired grew the little feet,
and at last, frightened and chilled, he
stumbled on a crossing, just as dashing
team driven by one of four young men
in the carriage behind came around the
corner. 1t struck the child and threw
him to one side, the carriage never stop

There was rush Of bystanders for
the little figure, and when picked up
Pete was very limp and weak, but con-
scious, and he begged them to take him
to the home. OF course this could not
be done, and Pete was carried in an am
bulance to the nearest hospital, after
which word was sent to Mrs. Brown. It
did not take her and Patsey long to find
their way to the place where Pete lay,
and she mourned over the sick child as
If he were one of her own. Patsey's grief
when he saw Pete lying in the hospital
cot knew no bounds, and he remorse-
fully blamed himself for leaving his
brother alone; but the boy tried to con-
sole him by saying: "Iain't hurried much,
Patsey. Don't We mind"
"What fur did ye go off, Peter asked
Patsey.
81 wanted ter find the city as the little
girl SING about" said Pete, Nobody
telled me, SO thought maybe I'd find it
meself."
When they left him he was bravely
smiling, to try to make them think he
didn't mind being left without them.
They went to visit him as often as the
rules allowed, and each time he said
Better when asked how he felt. He
complained of no pain, but simply
wished to lie quiet The newsboys sent
all sorts of nice things to him, aud these
attentions were consoling to Patsey as
well as to the sick boy
For days he lay in bed, growing more
and more feeble, but often talking to
Paisley about how much he wished to
find the city of his search.
"Good-by, Patsey dear" he said one
day, his arms around his brothers neck.
I'm a-goin' ter sleep as soon as it's dark,
50 kin get up early in the mornin' an

The brothers kissed each other Then
Patsey went slowly away to sell his
evening papers. At dusk little Pete fell

night his search for all things earthly
was ended, and when morning dawned
there was only his body left, still and

Milo Page, of San Bcrnarnino, CAL,
on Sept Z, writes as follows:
In 1853 was taken with bilious COL
ic, being then seventeen years old.
Yearly attacks followed, and at
length they became more frequent.
In 1872, while residing in Oakland,
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DIR. Pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable.
While Frustrated by o severe attack
q friend induced me to take a large
dose Of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour / was
free from pain. ! followed this up
half au hour before each meal-until
| used up the bottle.
For over seven years l was perfect
" free from bilious collie, but in the
fall Of 70 was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food | ate
brought on sharp attack. ! was

patched q courier eighty miles for q
bottle Of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but put the bottle to my lips.
took two swallows, and in twenty
minutes the pain left me. l finished
the bottle as before, taking three
doses daily, and for nine years after
ward was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters,
was cured, as before.
write this because you do not es-
pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters
Tor bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonies of this dis
ease, can understand what boon q
sure cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yon have the best, and per-
haps the only real remedy known.
In reply to Mr.. Page we will say
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds
lof diseases; we have not the space to
Catalogue them, and perhaps ii we
published them those unacQuainted
by experience with our valuable renl-
ledy might doubt its efficacy still, as
$50 many worthless preparations are
thrust on the market and pulled in
so many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
those who have been accustomed to
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
Of time, are hale and hearty, whether
; they are young or old. Those who
doubt and fail to take it are likely to
fall into all manner of ailments, great
and small. Vinegar Bitters, both Old
and New Styles, keep those who take
them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking, and when we once
gain customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eighty
: miles for Vinegar Bitters, and 1t was
almost ride for life.

beautiful, clear, dark reddish color,
and extremely pleasant to the taste.
