An Eastern paper says: There is
nothing in the Chicago and st. Paul
failures to create alarm. The banks
generally are honest and sound, and the
failures are partly due to local causes
and to the fact that directors have not
directed and inspectors have not in
spected. When directors direct, bank
officers do not lend the money of their
depositors to their untrustworthy rela.
tives. When bank inspectors inspect
such loans are simply impossible.
Comptroller Eckels owes it to himself
and the country to dismiss from the
service the bank examiners who permit
ted these transactions and to prosecute
the rascally officers of these banks, who
lent the money of their depositors to
their personal relatives and friends
without adequate security. Such con-
duct deserves prison, even when the
thief wears the good coat and moves in
good society" Is it not unfortunate
that community should suffer such
calamities? And is it not wrong that
the safety and welfare of people should
be placed in the hands of few men?
OF course these bank failures in Chicago
and st. Paul ought not to create alarm
as they do not affect general business
elsewhere.

From the Amherst (Canada) Sentinel.
Mr.. Chas. Tucker, who lives about
two miles from Lockport, is one OF the
best known men in that section. He is
engaged in business as a lobster packer
and dealer in flour and salt, and in adj
dition has fine farm. During the past
three years Mr.. Tucker has been an al
most constant invalid, being the victim
of a complication of troubles following
a severe attack of influenza. Recently
he has been restored to his old time
health, and having learned that he gave
the entire credit TO DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, concerning which so much has
been said through the press, a reporter
interviewed him in the matter, and was
cheerfully given his story for publica-
ton. Mr.. Tucker said: about four
years ago 1 had a severe attack of in
fluenza, which left me in a fearful con-
dition. I had for number of years be-
fore this attack been sufferer from
dyspepsia, but following the influenza
it took more acute form, and to add
to my distress my liver appeared not to
perform it's usual functions, and my
heart troubled me greatly, and there
were as well other complications which
baffied the skill of four doctors whom
successfully called in in the hope of re-
gaining my health. From the knees
down my legs were as cold as ice; my
bowels would bloat, and 1 suffered great
pain. Ny case went from bad 70 worse,
despite the medical treatment was I'M
dergoing, and at last got SO bad that
1 was forced to give up business. could
hardly eat anything, got but little sleep
at night, and as you will readily under
stand, my condition became one of de-
spair. My father urged me several times
to give DR.. Williams Pink Pills trial,
but was so discouraged that l had no
| further faith left in any medicine. How
ever, more to please him than from any
hope of beneficial results, | began the
use of Pink Pills. The first beneficial
effect / found was that the warmth and
natural feeling began to return to my
limbs, my bowels ceased to bloat, and
with the continued use of the pills my
appetite returned. I slept soundly at
night and the action of my heart again
DSCdIIc nOTIudl. continued tdklHS the
pills until had used in all fifteen boxes
and have not felt better in years than
| do now. / did some particularly hard
work last fall, and was able to stand it
with strength and vigor which sur
prised me. 1 consider DR.. Williams
Pink Pills not only a. wonderful medi-
cine, but also in the light of what my
other treatment cost, the least expen-
sive medicine in the world, and
strongly recommend Pink Pills to all in
need of medicine"
DR.. Williams Pink, Pills act directly
upon the blood and nerves, building
them anew, and thus driving disease
from the system. There is no trouble
due to either of these causes which
Pink Pills will not cure, and in hun
dreds of cases they have restored pa
tients to health after all other remedies
had failed.
Pink Pills are put up in glass walls,
both outside wrapper and vial bearing
the full trade mark, Or. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People ;" These pills
are sold by HOLSTER Drug Co., Hebron
Drug Co., and all dealers in medicine.

A most pleasant and enjoyable coca
sion was the party given at the home
of Consul and Mrs. H. w. Schmidt on
Thursday night in honor Of the TWEEN
ty-first birthday of their son William,
as all those who will present will tes-
tify.
The spacious grounds of the Schmidt
residence were lighted with Japanese
lanterns hung at different heights
among the trees and shrubbery
and the house was most artistically
decorated with yellow and white flow
ers with here and there a sprinkling Of
ferns.
The black lace curtains the drawing
and sitting rooms thrown open together
with the library and spread with can
vas for the dance, were covered with
punches of the golden shower bloom
while hung about the mirrors and brio
a-brac were large punches of white as
tiers on backgrounds of ferns.
A stringed orchestra of native play
ers stationed on the front veranda, fur
nished music for the occasion.
The guests were received by Mrs
Schmidt. Miss Schmidt, returned on a
vacation from school in the States, and

Dancing was of course the main Iea-
ture of the evening and everyone made
il point TO make it such.

How often the chart at dinner table
is out of all harmony with the delicate
yiands set before the guests, The least
return we could make the hostess is TO
take our part in pleasant converse

sauce of scandal or criticism or person
al grievance. l cannot think we know
the eXhilaration of true conversation
till we get out of these fogs of person
alities and mount up to the height OF
art. literature and science. Somewhere
l heard of topics that Frances Willard
kept for emergencies, though ii seems
strange for her TO need stock topics.
She would talk of the experience she
had had with celebrated people, and
draw from others any anecdotes of their
own lives that touched on greatness.
