From the st. James Budget: There is
hat story in which a well-known
bishop and a lately deceased marquis
played leading parts. The marquis,
who married Gaiety chorus girl, and,
generally speaking, lived up to the high
standard of his marriage life, was ac-
customed to wear a particular style OF
hat, shorter than that favored by most
men. One day he went into his hat
makers in Piccadilly and asked for
new one to be made The shopwalker
took the hat, and walked down to the
far end of the shop to give the requisite
Instructions, leaving the hatless mar
quis standing in the shop. At this mo-
ment there entered the shortsighted
bishop of x, also in want of new head
gear. He saw only a small man. who
might have passed for shopkeeper,
standing staring at him. So he took his
peculiar hat of his head and went up
to him. do you think, my good man."
he said, persuasively, that you have a

him for moment, speeches. with in
Gignation, while the shopkeeper, seeing
what was amiss, hurried up as fast as
he could. Unfortunately, the marquis

The Pace That Kills.
HAst work and Fast Eating Mako Three
Score Years and Ten Ripe Old
Age in These Days

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
The American people live too fast. eat
too fast and drink too fast. This has
brought upon many Of US train Of nervous
and stomach disorders that are very DIM
cult to manage. Investigation and chemica,
analysis to discover such compounds as VIII
help those suffering from such ills has re-
suited in the discovery of DR.: Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, which has taken
very high rank as a specific remedy.
II. p. Owens. travelling man thirty
years Of age, who is well known in this
community and generally liked because he
is a bright, energetic young fellow, resides
Cincinnati. Ohio. He has been victim OF
dyspepsia which took the form Of continu-
Gus constipation, and, strangely enough,
his mother suffered from the same trouble
Mr.. Owens testified to the merits Of Pink
Pills in a most enthusiastic way, and said
TO the Enquirer reporter:
II am glad to say anything I can for DIR.
Williams Pink Pills, because they did me
great good, and other people ought to know
of their virtues as medicine in stomach
troubles. 1t was some time ago when l
felt heavy feeling in my stomach, and
grew very cOnstipated. did not consult =
doctor, but having heard Of the Pink Pills
bought box of them. In two or three
days the heavy feeling in my stomach dis
appeared and my bowels were regular. l
did not have to use more than = box OF
them before / was well. Since that time
have only occasionally been troubled with
constipation, and l never get worried, be-
cause know just what to do Mother was
also troubled with indigestion and the
Pink Pills did the same for her they did
for me-cured her, didn't they, mother"
When appealed to Mrs. Owens answered:
"That is right. 1 found it was a great
medicine, so easy to take and SO quick and
lasting in its results"
Mr.. Owens continued: Il believe that
these pills are also good for nervousness.
When had my stomach trouble was also
quite nervous and that disappeared with
the dyspepsia. The Pink Pills were all that
is claimed for them. You can make any
use of this testimonial You see fit.''
H. p. Owens has occupied several posi-
tons of trust in this city. He was for
time an employee of the Commercial Gazette.
He will 20 on the read in few days for q
prominent business house here. Mrs.
Owens is quite as enthusiastic as her son
about the Pink Pills and her host Of lady
friends can verify her good opinion Of this
wonderful remedy if they feel disposed to
do so at any time. Where the testimony
is so general and unanimous as to the cx-
cellencics of Pink Pills as the Enquirer has
found it to be there is certainly good reason
to believe all the good things said-about
the safe and simple remedy.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
contain all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and re-
store shattered nerves. They may be had

IT'S pERiLs ARE MANY.
Lake Superior Il IN Exceedingly Treaeh-

Lake Superior Il IN Exceedingly Treaeh-
esous Body Of water.
From the Detroit Free Press: The
recent accident to the steamer Missoula
tends to show more clearly than any
thing that occurred the vast area Of
Lake Superior, and the possibility of a
vessels crew reaching land after ship
wreck and yet being unheard of for
couple of weeks after starting on a
voyage. The shores Of Michigan, Wis
ccrsin and Minnesota on the big lake
are traversed by railways and tele-
graph lines. and the towns and small
settlements on the American side of the
lake. even to the islands, furnish ready
means of communication with the
larger cities; but not SO on that part OF
the Canadian shore north of the lakes,
where a wilderness inhabited by few
fishermen and Indians exists. This is
especially true of the Canadian shore
Just above Sault Ste. Marie, and for
long stretch of country to the north and
east of the point where the Canadian
Pacific railway turns in to the shore OF
the lake and traverses it on toward Port
Arthur and Fort William. When the
M;ssoula broke her shaft and was rem
cered helpless she was less than
twenty-five miles from Caribou island
en- the course down toward Sault Ste.
Marie. She was somewhat on the reg
ular course of vessels bound down from
the head of Lake Superior, but IT she
bad been able to make any Roadway
toward the Sault, or care for herself at
all on the course she was following, she
would have been picked up very soon
after the accident by some passing YES
sci. But a southerly wind drifted her
out of the course Of even the few YES
sells trading to Canadian ports at the
head of the lakes, and she was working
over toward the widest part Of the
Canadian north shore territory when
her crew was compelled to abandon her.
A glance at the chart will show that
Brule point, where the crew Of the Mis-
soula first made land, is scarcely more
than seventy-five miles from Sault Ste.
Marie, where 900 tons Of freight
passes through canal in single sea-
son, and yet the men in one Of the Mis-
soula's yawl boats spent nearly two
days working along the shore OF the
lake before they found any more sign OF
life than deserted fisherman's shanty,
IN which they built fire and dried
their wet clothing. The fishing season
Las closed, but even fishermen are
scarce in this territory during the most
active periods. It is not strange, there
fore, that the men from the Miss0ula
we're nearly q full week in finding means
Ct communicating with the owners of
the vessel after they had landed on the
dreary north shore Of Lake Superior.

who seek wise economy in cost of

sacrifice of any essential comfort. About
one-third saved, as compared with
first class passage.
The Pullmans occupied by these par
ties are of the latest pattern and af-
ford every necessary convenience. A
porter goes with each car, and an ex-
perienced agent of the Company is in
charge. Ladies, invalids, elderly peo-
pie, etc, will appreciate this personal
care.
The Santa Fe's California line passes
south of the region of severe snow
storms and is remarkably picturesque.
