over the ice; and sometimes the mail carriers
come 70 bits OF open water upon which they

men tn drag one Of the boats over these hum
Knocks. Two boats go together. and so the
crews OF both boats are available for hauling
ono of them over the ice hills when their Joint
efforts are required. The loads OF mail mater

picture shows them bending to their work in

Although in the first instance as sluggish as

cricket when a beaithful impulse is given to
them with Hostetter'sS Stomach Bitters, a pro-

Miss Susan Wiltshire, a maiden
lady eighty-six years old and sister
of the late John C. Wiltshire, died
Thursday night of senile gangrene
of the feet. She resided with her
nephew, Mr.. Davenport II. Wiltshire,
and died at his home, four miles
north of this place. Miss Wiltshire
had been sick only three days and
the disease did not exhibit any out
ward effect, but developed very
rapidly. Although she was not a
robust woman yet she was remarka-
bly, active for her age, and retained
clear mental faculties. It is said
she had her burial robe made thirty
five years ago, and has kept it in
readiness for the final day. She
was the last member of of a large
and influential family. She was a
member of the Baptist Church for
over sixty years, and even after she
was eighty years old would walk
three or four miles to church. She
was highly respected and loved for
Christian devotion.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers ave invented
a great many valuable things. They were the
first to make broOms by machinery; the first to
put up seeds in little packages; the first to
manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with u method of curing
dyspepsia by resting the stomach. Their
remedy is known as the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. 1t supplies food in an artificiaily diges-
ted form and ut the same time aids the diges-
ton of other foods in the stomach. In other
words, by the use of the Shaker Digestive
Cordial, q dyspeptic virtually gets along with
out the use of his stomach until it is restored
to its natural strength and yigor. A single 10
