A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS. Nervous Troubles End in St. Vi-
 tus' Dance. Physicfsns PowerIess-The Story Told by
 the ChiIds Mother.
fFrom tho Reporter. somorset Xvi

From the Reporter, Somerset Ky1
 Among the foot hills of the Cumberland Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock is the happy home of James McPherron Four months ago the daughter of the fam fly, happy girl of sixteen, was stricken with St. Vitus' dance. The leading physi- cians were consulted but without avail. She grew pale and thin under the terrible nerv- ous strain and was fast losing her mental powers. In fact the thought of placing her in an asylum was seriously considered. Her case has been so widely talked about that the report of her cure was like modernizing miracle of old. To reporter who visited the home the mother said:
 "Yes, the reports of my daughters sick ness and cure are true as you hear them. Her affliction grew into St. Vitus' dance from an aggravated form of weakness and nervous trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source of help was followed to the end, but it seemed that physicians and medicine were powerless. Day by day she grew worse ua- til we despaired of her life. At times she al most went into convulsions. She got So that we had to watch her to keep her from wan dering away and you can imagine the care she was.
 About the time when our misery was greatest and all hope had fled, I read of duotllSI CtSei dlulOSG SlLulldf, InaJ ndQ been cured by medicine known as Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Almestin desperation secured some-of the pills aud from that day on the wonderful work of restoration commenced; the nervousness left her cheeks grew bright with the color of health, she gained flesh and grew strong both mentally and physi- cally until to-day she is the very picture of good health and happiness.
 Ut is no wonder that 1 speak in glowing terms of Pink Pills to every ailing person 1 meet. They saved my daughter's life and am grateful"
 The foregoing is but one of many wonder ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. In many cases the reported cures have been investigated by the leading news papers and verified in every possible manner. Their fame has spread to the far ends of civiliza- tion and there is hardly drug store in this country or abroad where they cannot be found.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (5D cents box, or six boxes for g 2.50-they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, NY.

GaG ner cilief is'iss Deafss if one .. .ie's wise women" she might then have found her opportunity. Instead, being somewhat in awe of Miss Merrill, she went her way, and the mistress turned back, through the wide doors, across the broad hall and the long, sunny sitting room into the small conservatory where the fresh green of leaves and the bril- liant blossoms spoke of love and tend ance. All around its upper border lay the thick, green leaves of a beau tiful ivy, and, as Miss Isabel from her high step unloosed the many loops that held the swaying vine in place, her thoughts went back over its history. It was ten years since the judge, her eourtly, beloved father, had brought her the green slip from a city florist. It was just after the death of her mother, and he had said they would part the slip, and during the summer time one should grow on the grave of their beloved.
 That was welll Was not all her life thenceforth linked with death? Her brave, strong young brother had helped her with the slips; and told them then of his purpose to devote his life to the lost ones of Africa. Her fa- ther, who loved God better than self, gave him up; but she, never. And when, after two years of work, the fever of the country made him it's vic tim, it seemed but a second burial.
 But life had still been full and rich while her father was part of it. The beautiful home had its mission of cheer while he was at it's head It was when he went, year ago, that Miss Isabel seemed to draw the shades over every grace and hope of life. She dropped out from its interests and seemed to have no heart for either the joys or sorrows of others. The home was still sunny and bright, but it was sadly still.
 "I wish something would rouse Miss Isabel. Martha would say to David when, the work of the day done, they rested in the large kitchen. "A wom- ans good for nothing unless some things pulling at her heart strings. Miss Isabel wants husband, or some child, or some fellow feeling for some body. If It's sicl1ly, all the better A sick cats better than nothing for q lone woman.
 And David, well assured of his wife's wisdom, nodded sleepy assent.
 The Easter morning came full of a glorious sunshine. Miss Isabel sat down by her window, Bible in hand, to read her morning lesson, of that other morning in far Judean land, when the stone was rolled away from the door and the angel came to the waiting women with his wonderful promise.
 "But he comes not to me-" whispered

the heart of the lonely woman, flor my dead hopes there Is no resurrec- tion."
 When the church bell rang out it's sounding summons she obeyed its call and sought the familiar pew.
 Holy, holy, holy" sang the choir with an earnestness that bore many of the worshipers into sacred presence. "'Tis the day of resurrection, fol lowed the clear voice of the soloist, and the tall lilies bent their heads and the green palms swayed gently in the soft breezes that hoated in. But to all notes of joy or promise Miss Isabel's aching heart had but one answer: "There is no Easter awakening in my life. All it's joy lies in the past and there is neither hope nor need of me more.
 She gave but little heed to the sermon of her old pastor; there was too much ring of gladness to suit her mood. The hymn that followed was unnoticed at first, but the last verse, in the clear birdnotes of the soprano, every word distinct, arrested her attention: s>~ss.s'f ss-. sstt.S ,aEs. stfshsSi'A2 ENll
 Beside the open graves: ....-.... The darksome gloom with theiir; light they

 lie will bring us into eternal life"
 Something dimmed the sad eyes sud- denly. Had He then so loved her2 and what had she done for Him?
 Dear Lord" spoke the pastors voice, full of tender longing, eff there is any soul here unwilling that Thou shouldst roll away the stone from the door, wilt Thou have pity and show that soul Thyself? If there is any heart here that has buried all its good or all it's worth to humanity under any stone of self, wilt Thou in tender mercy roll the stone away, and bid the dead come forth to living work, and to God?"
 And that word was for Isabel Mer- Till. Alone in her own room, she gave the afternoon to look at her stone. From her sealed heart she drew out its self-pity, it's neglect of others, and held them up in the light. She saw how many talents had been committed tC her, and that she had buried them un. der her selfishness. Deep humility took possession of her that grew at last into

DraHeleS gently MaN6l How the thoughts of those we've lost In the shadow and the frost Rise in beauty to our vision from the gravel Ahl far fatrer than the flowers, Stealing back Into the bowers, Sweeter than the voices of the birds that sing, Are the thoughts of those we love, In the paradise above, In the glory of the never-ending springl Yet their memories abide
 In the sunlight at our side, And they whisper words of comfort when We
 weep;
 And above each silent grave Easter lilies seem to wave, Sign they were not dead but only fell asleepi As we meet the flowers below After winter frost and snow So past silence of the long and weary years, Shall we meet the loved and blest, And shall enter in their rest, And shall know no more of partings or of tears
