st. Louis, Jan. pa local paper states
that at the netting of the St. Louis
Medical society, next Saturday evening,
DR.. Paul Paquin, for many years a, mem
Der of the state board of health, will pre-
sent a report which will attract the at
tention of the medical world. But few
intimate professional friends have been
advised of the experiments, which have
been in progress for years, and which
have resulted in the discovery of an anti
consumptive serum. For more than four
years DR.. Paquin has worked secretly on
the great problem.
1t is reported that his recent success
has decided him to make 1T public at as
early a date as he can possibly formulate
the result Tor a eepOrt. DR.. Paul Paqu1n
has been investigating tuberculosis in
man in various kinds of animals for sew
erdl years, having begun his researches
at the state university when he had a.
chair in that institution.
Or. PaQuin has utilized the principle
underlying the natural immunity enjoyed
by the morse against consumption and
the principle by which anti-toXine for
diphtheria is produced, and he has OBJ
tanned serum which, when introduced
in human beings suffering from con-
sumption, arrests or checks the disease.

matters of the first importance in the

Of preparation is slow and requires the
greatest care, while it is very costly.

stages. The temperature becomes normal.
the cough dininishes, night sweats cease
and the appetite is restored. Vigor and

doctor believes that he has found in this

simple cure and preventative of the
dreaded disease, which in its various
forms, is authloritatively stated to Gauss

yearly mortality. DR.. Paquin has pursued
his Investigations quietly. The results he
expects to present in a paper to be read

A BRAVE BOY.
[Pagosa Springs News.I


Tommy, the 11-year-old son Of Colonel
G. F. StoIlsteimer, is the proudest boy
in America. The other day he saw a
buck inside the fence and tackled him
with a 50 caibre Winchester at 800
yards, and hit him; the buck came af-
ter the boy, who ran about 80 yards,
turned about and fired and hit again.
the buck still coming. The boy flew
like a. Brownie through the deep snow,
but turned again, fired and hit, the
buck still coming and the boy running.
He faced about again and fired the
fourth time, shooting the buck through
the heart His little S-year-old sister,
Stella, was with him; she said next
morning: Tommy, by this time all the
world knows you killed that buck
even as far as China" The boy now
hangs his clothes on the horn of the
buck in front Of his bed and the Win
chester finds a. place under his pillow.
The wonder is that the boy hit the
buck every time under his excitement.
Verify, frontier boys are not degener-

bill as chairman of the committee ON
foreign relations. Mr.. Turpie declared
he had long cherished the Illusion that

Mr.. Turpie proceeded to argue that
the mortgage proposed to be given

mere pretenSe. The sena tor spoke of

bination of fraud and water
Mr.. Turpie heaped invectives on the
bubble mortgage and ''snide'' part
nership with the government, which
he said was involved in the canal
project. There was an apostle sur
named Peter, who had been canonized.
But this Nicaragua scheme, he de
elaa'ed was an attempt to canonize a

Johns of congressional work.

"BE STRONG"

Be strong to bear, o heart of mine!
Faint not when SorroWS come,
The submits of these hills of earth
Touch the blue skies of home.
So many burdened ones there are,
Close journeyfng by thy side;
Assist, encourage, comfort them,
Thine own deep sorrow hide
What though thy trials may seem great
Thy strength is known to God;
And pathways steep and rugged lead
To pastures green and broad.
Be strong to love, heart of mine!
Live not for self alone,
But find, in blessing other Lives,
Completeness for thine own,
Seek every hungering heart to feed,
Each saddened heart to cheer,
And where stern juStic stands aloof,
In pity draw Thou near.
Kind, loving words and helping HANDS
Have won more souls for heaven
Than an the dogTlas and the creeds
By priests and sages given.
Be strong to hope. o heart of mine!
Look not on life's dark side;
For just beyond these gloomy hours,
Rich radiant days abide,
Let hope, like summers rainbow bright
Scatter THY failing tears;
And let Gods precious promises
Dispel THY anxious fears.
Fer every grief a Lethe comes;
For every toll rest.
So hope, so love- SO patient bear,
God doeth all things best.

THE BATTLE OF A WEEK.

The battle of a week was the great
conflict at Tours, in which Charles
Martel overthrow the SaTacens, n. D.
1872. The members OF the Saracen~arny
are variOusly estimated at from 100000
to 100000, and the monkish historians
say that 375, 600 were killed on the field.
1t is suspected that these figures are
a gross exaggeration, but it is certain
that few battles of history have been
either so bloody or so decisive. r
