and His Father Both Died of Paraly-
sis, Yet the Third Generation
Ii Cured-The Method.
From the Herald Boston. Mass.
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, a
stroke Of paralysis came to Mr.. Frank T.
Ware, the wel-known Boston auctioneer
and appraiser, at 235 Washington street.
He went to bed one night about six years
ago, seemingly in robust health. When he
awoke his left side was stiffened by the
deadening of the nerves.
|; The interviewer sought out Mr. Ware to
get the facts. He gave the interesting par
ticulars in his own way: .
I: "The first shock came very suddenly
while was asleep, but it was not lasting in
its effects, and in a few weeks was able to
be about. A few months after, when ex-
hausted by work and drenched with rain,
went home in very nervous state. The
result was a second and more severe shock,
after which nv left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
my grandfather, who was a soldier in
the Revolutionary War, and lost an arm in
the struggle for American independence,
died finally of paralysis. My father also
died of paralysis, although it was compli-
Gated with other troubles. and so had some
knowledge of the fatal character of the dis
ease which is hereditary in our family.
AlUcr GUc SeCOuQ SHOCK L IOOh warning, 1Or,
in all probability, a third would carry me
of.
almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me, and 1 tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any good,
electricity, massage and specialists, but to
no effect.
1.-THE only thing found that helped me
was DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and l verify
believe that il it hadn't been for those pills
l would have been dead years ago.
"Yes, l still have slight reminder of the
last attack six years ago. My left arm is
not as strong as the other and my left foot
drags little, as the paralysis had the effect
Of deadening the nerves. But can still

younger than that.
1.-THE Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and believe that is why am so
well, although cheerfulness may help.
II have thought of it great many times

Mr.. Ware has every appearance Of per-
fectly healthy man, and arrives at his Office
promptly at eight O'Clock every morning,
although he has reached an age when many
men retire from active life. His experience

A DOMESTIC wife is blessing. but
not if she is too domestic.
A WIFE is willing to be obedient, but
she hates to be considered slave.
WHEN a woman says no she wants
you to insist upon her saying yes
|. A MAN will always respect n woman
if he sees that she respects herself.
WITn a woman, her soul should al
ways be at least as well clad as her
body.
II a married woman commences as q
slave she will never regain her free
dom.
VERY few married women sin even in
thought when they have good hus-
bands.
A GREAT many women transfer to
their baby the love they once had for
their husband.
EVEN when n woman is in love she
never forgets to see that her hat is on
straight.
A :ToMAN should not be afraid to die.
Why, just think! 1t relieves her Of the

These Norwegians are a wonderfully
patient people. They never hurry; why
should they? There is always time
enough. We breakfast at nine. Mon
sieur goes to business at ten or so. and
returns to his dinner, like all the rest
of the Scandinavian world, at half-past
two. We reach coffee and cigarettes at
about four, and then monsieur goes
back to his office, if he likes, for two or
three hours. We sometimes see him
again at supper at half-past eight, but
usually there is a game of whist or n
geographical society lecture, or a con-
cert, or a friends birthday fete ian oc-
casion never overlooked by your true
Norwegian), or some one has received q
barrel of oysters, and would not, could
not, dream of opening them without
champagne and company - masculine

there are entirely too many purely male

Monsieur only does as do all the other

There is curious feeling concerning
America over here, in one way and
another. Morgenbladet, the chief con-
sentative paper, an organ locally Of the
first importance, keeps sort of horror

/ suppose, that in these very dark and
treublous political times, when not only
the union, but the monarchy itself, is
threatened and tottering, the conserva-
tive interest thinks it dangerous to
allow any virtue to appear in a re-
public, and especially in ours, the
most aourishing, and therefore tho
most pernicious, example of that inven
ton of evil bred.

The Great National Convention Formally
Opens at hicago.
CHICAGO. Sept 24.-The great nation
al convention of Irish societies was
opened in the Young Mems Christian
association hall this morning with a
large representation of Irishmen from
all parts of the country. The head
quarters at McCoy's hotel presented an
animated appearance, conferences and
the welcoming of new arrivals being
the order of the day. John T. Keat-
ing. state secretary of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians, and secretary of
the local reception committee, esti-
mates that there will be fully 1.5OO
delegates in attendance.
The convention will last three days.
One general object is the formation Of
united open organization for the fur
therance of the Irish cause. Those
who issued the call for the convention
claim that it is not contemplated that
physical force shall be used or advised
in the attainment of the indie
pendence of the Irish people as a
nation, unless such means be deemed
absolutely necessary and the object in
view be proba BILE of attainment. 1t is
believed the convention will serve to
revive interest and infuse new life
into the Irish cause, both in America
and Great Britain.
sensation has been created b. the
announcement that among other
things the convention will consider
the case of the Irish political prisoners
