To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the miider
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and "that tired feeling" is the
complaint Of oil.
The reason for this condition u
found in the deficient quality OF the
blood. During the winter. owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses it's
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon sa the bracing effect OF cold
air is lost, there is languor and lack OF
energy. The cure will be found IN
purifying and enriching the blood

Mrs. Renwick and Joyce looked de-
spairingly at each other. Undoubtedly
the captain was master of the situa-
ton. If he chose to set the doctor and
his gallipots at defiance, what was to
be done?
At that moment, however, there was
q slight rustic downstairs.

at her from the sofa, with face sud-

enthusiasm. "How kind of you to re-

The tall young lady looked composed

see what we can do for you"
But" added Kenneth, stretching his
neck to get look at the door, which
was still slightly ajar, where is the

The beautiful lady sat down and
gently took Kenneth Renwiclk's wrist
In her delicate fingers.

An Amusing Incident OF Semi-Savage

interesting experiences of his own

1884. At that time she was governess
of Hawaii
He had been appointed secretary.

that Keelikolani should never interfere
with his work. In that year there was
q large gathering of the natives at Kali
lua, commanded to assemble by her in
order to explain to the people the tax
laws and to enforce the payment of
taxes. A large lanai was provided in
which the meeting took place, and she
proposed to address them.
1t was the unwritten law that the
very old and infirm, all cripples and in
curables, should be exempt from taxa
ton. The natives were unwilling to
pay taxes, so they prepared for the
meeting.
Many who were young men and in
the best physical condition, came in,
appearing To. be doubled up with dis
ease. Many used stats and walked
with trembling steps. Some walked
slowly, coughing at every step. Some
held up leg and appeared to be Grip
pies. One enterprising native appeared
on stretcher, carried by four of his
companions. When the assembly
opened it appeared like hospital
without well person in it, and it num-
bered several hundred. The princess
made brief address, and was followed
by her secretary, Judge Austin, who
told them that all present would have
to pay taxes, as there was nothing the
matter with them.
At once there was a commotion. The
men who were doubled up strengthened
themselves out. The coughing stopped.
The men with ''garne" legs moved
about quickly. The man who came on
stretcher got up and made speech
to the crowd. showing that he had
very poor opinion of the government.
The STATS were flung aside. In few
moments Rne stalwart body of men
were seen taking the mountain road
