Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the in
dividual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in
praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to
health to the use of the Great Alter
alive and Tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver or
stomach, of long or short standing
you will find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at soc and 81 per bot

And then Johnnie would beat his
knees with his fists and say, II will,
| WILL get up!"
And perhaps the next morning he
would, but after that fell back into
the old way again. And the days
went by steadily, and the money
wasn't accumulating fast enough.
81 guess you won't manage to get
it all, johnnie" his mother said one
evening, II shall have to save a
quarter or so to make it up"
And Johnnie felt rather than heard
in the words shade of disrespect for
"the only man about the house."
GLOW many days are there left be-
fore tax-day?" he asked.
. "Only SIX that you can work. re-
piled his mother. -
"Only ski" repeated Johnnie.
"Only six didn't think it was quite
so near. Why won't you let me stay
out longer nights, map
"You do stay out about as long as
you can see. | don't think it is best
for you to be out aftsr dark. You
may get up in the morning as early
as you choose, but evenings you must
be in the house,
Johnnie went to bed that night in
rather low spirits. He feared his best
efforts would not now make up for
those lost morning hours.
He walked very early next morning,
and jumped out of bed without a
minutes delay. He was half dressed
before he discovered that il was not
daylight that shone in at his little
window up under the roof, but the
light of the old moon just rising In
the east.
81 don't carel Ma says 1 may get
up as early as | choose, and if l get
those two dollars ready I've got to
get up terrible early. Pm going to
work If it's only moonlight" he said,
The clock struck five as he came
down into the kitchen and felt for his
boots behind the stove. He found
cap and mittens and crept softly out.
1.-The old moon doesn't give very
big light" he muttered between his
chattering teeth, "but l guess l can
see to move bricks"
He ran around the Dewitt corner
with his little cart creaking behind
him, and fell to work so vigorously
that he was soon warm enough.
When the deacon came and counted
the tiers of bricks that night, his
eyes twinkled as he picked out the
nickles from his purse, and he said, 81
guess you didn't lie abed this morn

And Johnnie, laughing, answered,
"No, sir - andran home and dropped
his money into the pewter pitcher
with triumphant clink.
Six mornings saw Johnnie at work
"terrible early" as he said, and the
evening before tax-day he poured out
and counted his earnings, and they
amounted to tive dollars and one cent.
The Aext day he went and paid his
tax like man. He brought the re-

How Johnnie Brown Paid the Tax

How Johnnie Brown Paid the Tax
The Browns were rather poor.
They lived in their own small house,
but you will guess that it was not
much Of place when tell you that
the tax on it was just two dollars.
Widow Brown lived by washing for
her richer neighbors, and supported
her two children, Johnnie AID Daisy.
Last year Johnnie, being past ten
years old, and strong boy, under
took 10 pay the tax himself.
The bill came in November, and
was due about the middle of Decem.
Der.
Johnnie had been saving every
penny he could earn, and had already
eighty-seven cents put away in tiny
old pewter pitcher on the high shelf
of the cupboard.
He had, moreover, job on hand
that was likely to last long enough to
make up the whole sum. Deacon
DeWitt's old storehouse had been
pulled down, and was to be built on
the opposite side of the road, and
there wa, great pile of bricks to be
moved over, and Johnnie was moving
them in his own little wooden cart.
Back and forth, back and forth, he
went in the mornings before school
hours, and after school was out at
night, his wooden wheels creak, creak-
ing under their load, the pile of
bricks steadily growing smaller on
one side of the road, and larger on
the other, and the pile of nickels and
pennies as steadily increasing.
There were two mornings in each
week that Johnnie could not work !;
the days that his mother was away at
her washing he must stay at nome
and take care of little Daisy. So he
had but four working days in each
week.
The mornings grew shorter and
colder. December came in, and the
air was frosty to Johnnie's nose when
he put it out at the door before the
sun was up, and the bricks were frosty
to his fingers, and they wore out his
mittens so fast that there was nearly
always hole in them, and Johnnie s
ardor began to cool, and he cuddled
down under the blankets for Zone
more little snooze" so many mornings
that it began to be doubtful about
the tax money being ready in time.
Every night he worked as late as
his mother would allow him to stay
out, and went in resolving to be up
and at il early next morning; and
the next morning his ardor was as
cool as the weather, and be couldn't
seem to get it rekindled till the sun
was we'll up.
"What shall l do to make myself
get up the minute | awake? Ma, l
wish you would make me-" he often
said.
And the wise little mother as often
replied: you'll never be man un-

the girls begin 20 get combined move

ipates, and which require great skill and
close attention. The arm and chest
movement, too, IS now freely used. One
of the favorite exercises is the half
swing, which is simply an Improvement

upright is frmly fastened and a cross
beam, oscilaing upon a pivot, is hung
near tho top. On each arm or the cross
beam sro a number Of rope-handles,
which tho pupils grasp, and then the
swing rises and falls with the slightest
motion. just like the see-saw, the only
difference being that in the see-saw the
player ia seated. whereas in the half
swing she IS holding on lightly bv both

James Wins.

1t viii be rem embered that last
spring there was al election contest in
the town of Nebagamain. At the
spring election Mr. James Winger,
independent candidate for Register of
Deeds. was a candidate for chairman
Of the Board ef Supervisors. from
Hawthorne, while Mr.. John McLaugh-
lin, of White Birch, was his opponent.
When the votes were counted Mr.. Nc
Laughlin was declared elected. Mr..
Winger contested on the grounds that
all votes cast at White Birch were
illegal, as that was not voting pre-
cinct, but that Hawthorne was the
proper and only legal voting place IN
the township, and that he had a major
ity of the votes east at the place desig-
mated by law The matter was taken
to the courts and argued before Judge
Marshall at the last term of court, and
on Saturday last the Judge filed his
decision which seats Mr.. Winger as
the chrirman of the Board of Super
yisors for the town of Nebagamain
1t is we'll that this matter has been
properly settled before any very i'm
portant business transactions have
been entered into by the town Now
precinct should be properly es-
tablished at White Birch. but as this
had never been done. James is surely
entitled to his laurels, and he wears
them gracefully.
