Spring i

Is the season for new life in nature,
new V ~or in our physical systems.
AS the esh sap carries life into the
trees, SO our blood should give us
renewed strength and vigor. In
its impure state it cannot do this,
and the aid of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is imperatively needed.
It will purify, vitalize and enrich the
blood, and with this solid, correct
foundation, it will build up good
health, create good appetite, tone
=, your stomach and digestive organs,
strengthen your nerves and over
come or prevent that tired feeling.
This has been the experience of thou

THE FEARFUL FLAMES.
Awful Scenes From the Fire as Cabled
to London


to London.
From the account given by the Paris
correspondent o. the London Daily
News of the fearful fire In the charity
bazaar at Paris on May 4th, we quote
the following.
"The flames licked most of those
who escaped, and dresses were burned
from the backs of their wearers, who
tore off their blazing hats as they
rushed for the street, their heads
singed to the roots of their hair. The
clot thing not burned off was literally
torn off No painter ever imagined
Last Judgment so appalling. One
girl who ran through the streets skirt
had charge of the wooden horses In
the bazaar. 1t is impossible to say
how many children were on them at
the time. or how many perished.
1.-The flames rose to fearful height.
The fire brigade came quickly, but
what could be done? The blockade
in front of the burning mass was
simply frightful and the hose was
compelled to play over the heads of
the multitude The scorched people
cried for the f1remen to souse them,
which they did. The cries from with
In were cries never to be forgotten for
intensity of anguish. The fremen
courageous1y let themselves down
from houses round about, but their
efforts were too often fruitless.

Was Sewing on sunday.

One of Winston's preachers says his
influence has not been as effective for
good during his residence here as he
would like. One Sunday afternoon,
not long since, the divine and his wife
left home for short time. They re-
turned and found their housekeeper
Ia white woman) busy sewing. OF
course the preacher and his wife were
surprised, more so. perhaps, because
the housekeeper attends family pray
ers every night and morning.

When person is losing flesh and wasting
away there is cause for alarm. Nothing so
worries physician. Consumptives would
never die il they could regain their usual
weight. In fact there would be no con-
sumption If there was no wasting of the
system. The cause of this loss of flesh is
failure to properly digest the food eaten.
Ninetenths of all our diseases date back to
some arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by caus-
ing the food we eat to be digested SO as to
do good, for undigested food does more
harm than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested and is digester of

A Letter From Pon,ius PLATE.

Theoiogians are much excited over
the discovery Of the reported letter Of
Pontius Plate TO Tiberius describing
the crucifxion and giving his secret
interview with Christ. II is in the
form of long official report and was
recently translated into English.
The Pope last week ordered an In
vestigation into the subject. Father
Ehrle, chief custodian Of the Vatican
Library, after careful scrutiny Of the
manuscript Saturday, made the an
nouncement that the letter Of Plate
to Tiberius is an extremely ancient
document in excellent state Of preser-
yation. From its condition, nature
and circumstances under which il was
found he says be has authenticated it
as far back as the year $50, and IL
now seeking evidence to connect it
with the author. This refers only 10
the exterior appearance Of the manu-
script.
From internal evidence in the ex-
traordinary revelations Of Plate, the
ologians who examined the manuscript
say it is unquestionably genuine and
is an original report by the Governor
Of Judsa TO the Roman Emperor.
Il is said Plate wrote two letters
on the subject 70 Tiberius, both being
now in the Vatican archives. One was
brief hurried note, written and dis
patched the night following the cruci-
61ion. The other wasa long detailed
report Of FIVE thousand words, cover
ing the entire subject. from the as
sumption Of govenorship BY Plate,
to some days after the resurrection. /,
This is the letter now translated
containing many startling disclosures.
It is written in the highest literary
style, showing Plate was not only a
great statesman but a philosopher and
scholar. Photographs will be taken
Of the manuscript and new trsnsla-
tons made. Letters from Plate TO
Tiberius on other subjects are also in
the Vatican.

her. There was a sudden commotion
at the front end of the house. The
people were astonished to see armed
men take their stand at the door. Just
then Mayfeld entered from the side
door. He nodded at the preacher,
who said: Before the services begin
there is strange ceremony to 60
through with. Mr.. Mayfeld."
The preacher stepped aside, and
Mayfeld addressed the people. MY
friends, said he, 81 think that this
will be a day of real thanksgiving in
this neighborhood." He paused for a
moment and then continued: can
investigation by the government has
proved a certain man innocent Of the
crime of killing a deputy, and his
great service as a soldier has pardoned
his oFense as an illicit distiller. He
reached my place last night, by ar
rangement, and is now here.
Cling Towson stepped in at the side
door. His wife, with shrek, sprang
to meet him. He looked for a mo-
ment upon her tired face, and then
putting his arms about her, he said:
"You won't have to work so hard.
The government has given me a
back pension.
The congregation shouted with
tears in their eyes, for Cling had al
ways been favorite in the neighbor-
hood. The pardoned man embraced
his daughter and, with a backwoods-
mans uncomfortable grace, bowed and
put her hand inMayfeld $ outstretched
palm. Then Mayfeld spoke again.
1--WE have discovered that the deputy
was murdered by a man known as the
Red Steer.

Thanksgiving services, the first for
many year, were to be held in the
Lick meeting house. The widow de-
clared that she would not 90, that she
had nothing to be thankful for. May
field called at the house to persuade
her. Don't talk to me-" she said
"You are the the very one that causes
me not to be thankful. ="
"But you will let Ella 90, won't
you?"
"She can do as she pleases. She
has done so; she has broken my heart.
Mr.. Coster went away disgusted day
before yesterday and swears that he
will not come any more.
"Ah, and as he is now out OF the
way, you won't object to"
Eyes, will. You shall never mar
ry her with my consent"
"Oh, think so. VIII you promise
me one thing?"
81 don't know, but what is t?'
THAT you will bring her to church
tomorrow"
Il don't know. Why do you want
me there?"
"To see you thankful in the pres
ence of your neighbOrs.
Impossible. But if you will make
me a promise-but I ought not to ask
it"
81 don't know what it is, but III
tell you what will agree TO do. II
you are not thankful on this occasion,
will agree to withdraw in favor OF
the Red Steer"
81 will be there" said the widow.
The sermon was to be preached oy
| an old man. The congregation was
large. a mysterious whisper had
gone about that something unusual
might be expected. The preacher was
nervous when he arose. He looked
from time to time toward a side door.
The widow and her daughter sat well
toward the front. The girl wondered
why Mayfeld had not come. The
| Red Steer sat not far away, gazing at

THANKSGIVING.

To the giver of all blessings
Let our voices rise in praise,
For the joys and countless mercies
He hath sent to crown our days:
For the homes of peace and plenty
And a land so fair and wide,
For the labor of noon-day,
And the rest Of eventide.
For the splendor of the forest,
For the beauty of the hills,
For the freshness of the meadows,
And thousand sparkling rills,
For the blossoms of the springtime,
And the memories they bring,
For the ripened fruits Of autumn,
We do thank thee, o our King.
For the wealth of golden harvests,
For the sunlight and the rain,
For the grandeur of the ocean.
For the mountain and the plain,
For the everchanging seasons,
And the comforts which they bring,
For thy love so grand, eternal.
We would thank thee, o our King.
