RUSSIA.

Matters in the famine stricken dis
tricts of Russia are growing worse.
In some instances the peasants exas-
perated by hunger and sickness have
turned against the doctors, and the
physicians are fleeing in terror. The
plague stricken people are tearing up
the railroad tracks so that there is an
absolute panic all over that section.
The physicians are unable to cope with
the grippe and it is decimating its
thousands. 1t shows that all the pub
lished remedies for the grippe have
proven useless. The best remedy is
that which will stimulate the stomach,
incite the kidneys to action, and
soothe the inflamed tissues of the
lungs. There is nothing that does this
SO we'll as REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains no
opium or poison, but it will accomplish
all that is claimed for it. When you
have the premonitory symptoms OF
grippe get this remedy and take it in
small but frequent doses and it will
cure you. Get it of any dealer.

A Missionary's Wooing.

1t has remained for young clergy.
man, a missionary, to take the palm
for a phlegmatic choice of a wife
Having decided that it would be advis-
able to be accompanied to the mission
field by wife, he undertook to select
her with his head, not thinking it
necessary that his heart need be con-
sidered in the matter. lie first made a
list of attributes desirable in the wife
of a missionary; then, as he went
about with the different young women
of his acquaintance, he watched for the
development of any characteristic cor
responding with his record. When he
discovered any he marked point op-
posite the young woman's name.
When the time came to make the
choice he offered himself to that young
woman who had achieved the highest
percentage in this unique table, and.
alas, was accepted. The only redeem
ing feature of the transaction is his ad-
mission made some years after his
wedding to friend MY wife" he
says, twas never courted before her

THE DAYS WORK.

Dc thy days work, my dear,
Though fest and dark the clouds are drifting
near,
Though time has little left for hope and very
much for fear.
Do thy days work, though now
The hand must falter and the head must bow,
And far above the falling foot shows the bold
mountain brow.
Yet there is left for US.
Who on the valleys verge stand trembling
thus,
light that lies far in the west-soft, faint, but
luminous.
We can give kindly speech,
And ready, helping hand to all and each,
And patience to the young around by smiling
silence teach.
We can give gentle thought,
And charity by life's long lesson taught,
And wisdom, from old faults lived down, by toll
and failure wrought.
We can give love, unmarried
BY selfish snatch of happiness, uniarred
By the keen aims of power or Joy that make
youth cold and hard.
And if gay hearts reject
The gifts we hold-would fain fare on un-
checked
On the bright roads that scarcely yield all that
young eyes expect,
Why, do thy days work still
The calm, deep founts Of love are slow to chill;
And Heaven may yet the harvest yield, the
work-worn hands to fill.

Card OF Thanks Sent to Herr A. Happy
Christmas.
They were two old people living in a
little German village. Their daughter
had gone to the United States, or, as
they said, to America, to seek her for
tune some months before. They had
waited in patience to hear from her,
and at last at Weihnachts (Christmas)
time they received a pretty card bear
ing the words: "a Happy Christmas. +"
On the back of the card the sender had
signed her name with loving word or
two, but gave no address:
To the minds of the simple old couple,
however, she had given address enough.
They took the card for an advertise
ment or notice of their daughters en-
ployer in this country, and forthwith
sent card of thanks-not to be out
done in politeness by an American
which they directed to Herr A. Happy
Christmas, America"
1t is needless to say that the card
never reached this country. 1t is pre-
served in German city among the ''cu-

Early Starts.

Eminent men in some cases had the
benefit of an early start. Webster was
in college at fifteen, and at thirty he
was the peer of the ablest man in con-
gress. Martin Luther had become dis
tinguished at twenty four, and at thirty
six had reached the topmost round of
fame. Napoleon at twenty-five had
commanded the army of Italy At
thirty-nine he was not only the most
illustrious general of the time, but one
of the great lawgivers of the world.
William Pitt entered the ministry at
fourteen, was chancellor of the ex-
chequer at twenty two, prime minister
at twentyfour and at thirty-Gve was
the most powerful uncrowncd head of

The February Wide Awake

tents. We wonder if the parents of our
boys and girls really know what an ex-
cellent and absorbing story Mrs. Mary
Mcintosh Cox is giving us in her serial
"Jack Brereton's Three Mouths Serv-
ice?" While the young people read it with
growing interest and imbibe lessons in
honor, manliness and devotion to duty
from it's stirring incidents, not one of the
elder generation but can live aga in the
dramatic scenes of 1861 which it por-
trays, when homes were rent and anx-
ious hearts were over-strained The
story appeals to all. So, too, though IN
different way, does the Arabian story
of pluck and endurance, '"The Lance OF
Kanana," thrill it's readers month by
month. The camel race over the desert
described in the February number is
full of force and fire that stirs the blood
of every reader. Among the important
contributions to the February WIDE
