Her breath balm, her cheek rose;

For she has that which few possess
Health, strength and perfect happiness.

Ayers
Cherry Pectoral

G. o. Lepper, Druggist, Fort Wayne, Ind.,
writes: my little sister, four years Of age,
was so ill from bronchitis thatwe had almost
given up hope of her recovery. Our family
physician, skilful man and of large expert
ence, pronounced it useless to give her any
more medicine, saying he had done all twas
possible to do, and we must prepare for the
worst. AS last resort, we determined to
try Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and I can truly
say, with most happy results. After taking
a few doses she seemed to breathe easier,
and, within week, was out of danger. We
continued giving the Pectoral until satisfied
she was entirely well. This indisputable
evidence of the great merit of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral has given me unbounded conf
dence in the preparation, and 1 recommend

point them"

cough and my partner of bronchitis. know
of numerous cases in which this preparation
has proved very beneficial in families Of

STATIONS OWNED BY JOHN AND
JACK WILLIAMS.

PERKINsvILLE, VT, Oct. II, 1891.
MR.. BATTELL,
Dear Sr:-Your favor received last
evening, and IN reply will say that Jack
Williams was my father. He has been
dead several years. He was born in
January, 1908. My mother is living
with me and says he owned stations
when they were married and before.
They were married Feb. 6, 1892. Grand
father Williams (John) also owned sew
eral stations; one was Williams MINI
rod. Mother thinks grandfather had
horse called Hyder Ali, and thinks he
got out of the stable and ran and broke
his leg or injured himself so that he had
horse, with white in the face, when they
were married, but she thinks he
had him only one or two years. He then
got IA very stylish horse called First Con-
sui, black. He had him one year and
took him to Canada and traded or sold
him. Grandfather sold one of his stall
lions to Comstock; mother does not
seem to remember what one. The first
stallion | recollect was Old Richard Il.
also called Richard Il. or Z. Robinson
and Goldfinder, lie got him of Capt.
Rynder, think, in Boston and sold him
to David McElwain, then of Lenox,
Mass, now of North Adams. Mass. He
had him two or three seasons, and re-
member some of his stock well. He
was away from home, in Hartford, Conn.,,

AReoNAUTs IN VERA CRUZ.

Gold Hunters of 40 Visit Mexican City
and Become Discouraged.
It was Sunday morning when we drop
ped anchor near st. Juan de Ulloa, with
| its quaint ancient tower, and the city d
Vera Cruz just before us.
The uniformed customs officials speed,

while the Changing of some scores oil

towers filed the air, the officers were en-.
tertained by an encounter between two
of our pugnacious gold hunters, who
struck vigorously from the shoulder. We
received a speedy permission to land, as
the officials did not appear to enjoy our
companionship. Sunday was passed in
looking at the sights in the old Spanish
city, battered and bombarded as it had
been two years before by the artillery OF
General Scott.
Walls and buildings constructed of
coral rocks were shattered as he had left
them, fragments Of bombs and solid shot
lay about the streets where his cannon
had fired them, and along the beach were
numerous dilapidated wrecks of surf
boats where he had abandoned them.
Numerous army wagons, caissons and
artillery carriages were scattered about,
and thousands of Yankee made pack sad
dies were offered US for our journey.
These and much other paraphernalia, the
production of army contractors. had only
served the purpose intended-that of en-
riching the contractors.

The Mexican one, consisting of two great
pillows of leather connected and hung

top of which or suspended from it would

As our war with Mexico had just
closed, and the ignorant masses yet held
US in the same enmity with which they
had regarded their conquerors, matters
did not look favorable for a peaceful
passage over the whole extent of Mexico,

He is now in opposition with the sun,
rising at sunset, reaching the meridian

Jupiter in opposition, or opposite the

to the earth. which accounts for his
superb appearance.
This majestic planet is equal in vol
ume to 1900 worlds like ours, and casts

in space, He is called planet, but is
more like sun, and probably gives out
some light and heat. The rapid changes

with ladder. l can't get along with
skirts ut all then, so l wear a pages dress

The we'll known sculptor is little bit
of woman, with beautiful dark blue
eyes that look at you with direct, al
most childike confidence, and light
brown hair huster1ng about her face in
all sorts of hayward rings and tendrils.
But she is not the httenish woman by
any means. There is endurance and
pluck in the eyes, and energy in the
rather prominent chin. You instinct
lively feel that she is fitted out with a
good share of the indomitable spirit
without which nothing great in art is
ever achieved. She wears at her work a
white cotton jacket and skirt, and
broad lace collar is fastened at the back
of the neck with knot of light blue rib
bon. Some new commissions are keep
ing her busy, especially an important
one which is to adorn the public square
of another city.
Miss Lawson's studio is an interesting
spot to visit. Against the warm lines of
oriental hangings the snowy forms of
