sick wife, in Bloomington, III. Miss Steven

Bar Harbor, Me-, with her mother and sis

into pneumonia of a severe type, which Sc
riously affected her lungs. but she finally
rallied sufficiently to be taken South. where
it was hoped a milder climate would aid her
recovery. About the middle of October she
was brought to Asheville. in the mountains
of western North Carolina, where the air is
usually dry and baimy. The change at first
