Pink Pills for Pale People
.'Why. do you ask-wel for seven years
/ was a wretched sufferer from nervous
debility and rheumatism. My wrists were
SO swollen and my fingers so stiff that got
no sleep at night. Ny hips, backbone and
shoulder blades were so painful if moved
that l would awake screaming with agony,
and Il small lump of bone o. callous grew
on my spine, which was exquisitely painful.
OF course my heart was badly affected, and
the numerous physicians whom CONSULTED
were all of one mind, and that was that
my days were numbered, and they could do
me no good.
Il could not leave my bed without help,
and once lay for three weeks in one posi-
tion and would not have been sorry il
death had ended my sufferiugs, when one
day about three months ago, some one read
to me from the Hutchinson Gazette an ac-
count of q wonderful cure of "A patient

the pills, every day adding to my store of
health. Ny nerves became tranquil, the
rheumatic pains began to leave me. palpi-
tasion of the heart ceased, my kidneys and

Il can tell you of three persons to whom
I have recommended Pink Pills-all of
Castleton, who are suffering with heart
difficulty:--Mrs. L. Smyth, Mr.. John Pur

what Pink Pills did for them and they
also know what they did for me-"

densed form, all the clements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, Irregularities and all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. In men they effect radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
over-work or excuses of whatever nature.

there for water, and boats crew wen>

water was dried uD and soaked I'D be-

The place was covered with dried trees,
and little distance away was what
looked like hut-a habitation for

shrunken remains of four men, sailors
probably, who had died in one night, to
judge from appearances. One was
leaning against the wall in a sitting
position. There was dry food on the
table, dry meat in a box and everything

I'm ASHAMED OF YOU

how it happened, the big blue eyes
flashed for a moment into his and he
was on his feet blushing and bowing.
This was the beginning, and it be-
came customary to bow, later to sit side
by side and talk during lunch, and, if
time permitted, to walk with her as
far as the Monadnock building. where
she was employed. He had vainly tried
to discover her name, but when he had
naively informed her that it was awk-
ward to call her Say" she had asked
him to call her simply Miss Margaret,
adding that this was what she was most
generally called and was most accus-
toned to.
This went on for several weeks and
Joe had several times been on the verge
of asking for her address that he might
call, or asking her to accompany him
TO the theater, but he kept delaying,
fearing that he might rupture the grow
ing friendship and be left again to
himself and the lonesomeness Of feel
ing that he knew almost no one.
One noontime land Joe will always
remember it, she was not in her ac
custCSasd place, although the day be-
fore she had been speculating what the
bill of fare would be. He ate as slowly
as he could and spent his whole noon
hour in the restaurant, but when he
left, the chair was still vacant. The
next day the same experience. He re-
preached himself for not finding out
more about her-perhaps she was sick
or had met with an accident. At any
rate, she knew his name and address
why didn't she at least drop him a
line? Surely it was cruel to leave him
in such uncertainty. He brooded over
what might possibly have happened to
her. till his health began to fail. He
had never thought the daily walk of a
few blocks could mean so much to him.
Several weeks passed by and the
chair still continued vacant On the
very day his two years was up Joe re-
membered that she had snoken OF

Truth Crushed tn Earth.

From the Atlanta Constitution: A
worthy colored deacon, who had early
impressed upon his only son and heir
the moral Of the George Washington
cherry tree story, was fortunate
enough to find fat 'possum recently
He bore it in triumph to his dwelling,
and. assisted by his son, cooked it to a
juicy brown.
Now" said he, de bes' way ter eat
a 'possum is col; so we'll jes' let him
stay in de pantry, en- when mawnin'
comes he'll be mo- jueier den tEer!'
His son seemed sadly disappointed,
but he made the best of it, and both
retired for the night
The old man was up early next
morning, but the boy slept on.
On opening the safe the astonished
parent discovered nothing but bones
in the dish that had contained the
'possum. He brought the drowsy
youngster to his feet with one vigor-
GUS jerk, and dragging him to the
scene Of the wreck. he said:
What does dat mean, eh?"
The boy fell on his knees and cried:
Daddy, can't tell lie; got up in

The old man said not word. but
dragging the boy to the front door he
held him by the collar while he
jerked a piece of weatherboarding
from the side of the house.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have n
r4mb bling sound, or imperfect hearing, and
result and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
inflamed condition of the mucous sur

postmaster, who was now chlef cierh
in the office. Joe will never forget
those two years-lonesome two years
they were, the more lonesome, perhaps
because he had never been away from
home and among strangers before.
When he first came to Chicago the
Worlds Fair and other attractions
made the city wonderful place Tor the
country boy, but these soon paled or
passed away, and the loneliness settled
upon him as he felt himself stranger
in strange land.
For a time he attended church, as
had been his habit at home, but they
were such large places, and the con-
gregation and young folks dressed and
acted so differently from the church
folk at home that he finally got in the
habit of staying away. He sorely missed
his town acquaintances, the compan-
ionship of his sisters and brothers and
the bright smile of Cousin Fan, who

he felt too much of an aversion to
them to enjoy himself or make himself
entertaining and dropped them.
At last change gradually, to
be sure, so slowly that Joe hardly knew
there had been change till 1t was
there. For several days the seat at
the opposite end of the table IN the
restaurant Joe ate lunch had been oc-
cupied by modest-appearing little
woman, whose long lashes fringed the
darkest of blue eyes and whose slight
ly pouting lips and rounded cheeks
glowed with the natural health which
can never be duplicated by art, and
which only country air can give. The
next day she was in the same seat, and
the next and the next, and Joe soon
came to look forward. unthinkingly, to
seeing the bright face of the unknown.
One day the chair was vacant, and
Joe, with a sense Of deep disappoint-
ment, knew why it was he looked for
ward so eagerly to the MONDAY meal.
The next noontime he took particular
pains with his toilet and was SO i'm
patient that he was at the table five
minutes before his accustomed time.
She was not there and his heart sank.
A minute later it bounded again as he
saw the well-known figure coming down
the aisle. As she pulled back her chair
preparatory to taking her seat, some
how or other, Joe never quite knew
