From the Ne,o Era, Greensburg, Ind

The st. Paul correspondent for the NeW
Era recently had &n item regarding the case
Of Mable Stevens, who had just recovered
from serious illness of rheumatism and
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the first time in three months The letter
stated that it was very bad case and her
recovery was considered such surprise to the
neiehbors that it created considerable gossip.
Being anxious to learn the absolute facts
in the case, a special reporter was sent to
have q talk with the girl and her parents.
They were not at home however, being some
distance away, A message was sent to Mr..
Stevens, asking him to write up full his
tory of the case, and few days ago the fol-
lowing letter was received from Mrs. Stevens :

"Two years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining of pains in her limbs, princi-

IF THIS WERE FAITH.

God, if this were enough
That see things bare to the buff,
And up to the buttocks in nire;
That / ask nor hope nor hire,
Nut in the husk,
Nor dawn beyond the dusk,
Nor life beyond death
God, if this were faithi
Having felt thy wind in my face
Spit sorrow and disgrace,
Having seen thine evil doom
In Golgotha and Khartoum,
And the brutes, the work Of thine hands,
Fill with injustice lands,
And stain with blood the sea,
If still in my veins the glee
Of the black night and the sun
And the lost battle run,
If, an adept,
The ubiquitous lists still accept
With joy, and JOY to endure and be with
stood,
And still to battle and perish for a dream
of good
God, if that were enoughi
IF to feel, in the ink of the slough
And the sink of the mire,
Veins Of glory and fire
Run through and transpierce and transpire,
And secret purpose of glory in every
part,
And the answering glory of battle fill my
heart,
To thrill with the JOY of girded men,
To 60 on forever and fail, and go on again,
And be mauled to the earth and arise,
And contend for the shade of a word and a
thing not seen with the eyes,
With the half of broken hope for pill
low at night,
That somehow the right is the right
And the smooth shall bloom from the
rough

to almost nothing. Her legs and arms were
drawn up and her appearance was pitiful.
Several doctors had attended her, but it
seemed that none OF them dad her any good.
They advised us to take her TO the springs, but
times were SO hard we could not afford it, al
though we finally managed to get her to the
Martinsville baths. Here she grew suddenly
weaker, and it seemed that she could not stand
it, but she became better, and it seemed that
she was being benefited, but she suddenly grew
worse, and we had to bring her home.
"She fingered along, and last winter be-
came worse again, and was afflicted with
nervous trouble almost like the st. Vitus'
dance. For some time we thought she would
die, and the physicians gave her up. When
she was at her worst a neighbor came in
with box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they were advertised to be good for such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that she
thought they might help Mabel.
eve tried them. The first box helped
her some, and after she had taken three
boxes she was able to sit up in bed. When
she had finished a half dozen boxes she was
able to be out and about. She has taken
about nine boxes altogether now, and she is
as we'll as ever, and going to school every
day, having started in again three weeks
ago. Her cure was undoubtedly due to these

PARIS FiREMEN AT WORK.
rhey Go to the Fire Deliberately, but Are
Active When There.

Uaaey Go to the Fire Deliberately, but Are
Active When There.
The strength of the French build
fngs, the uninhammable nature Of
their partitions, their hardwood
aoorings and the scantiness Of the
furnishings, to say nothing of the
comparatively slight use of fire for
household purposes, have generally
kept Paris quite free from catastro-
phies due to fires, and at the same
time have left the fremen seriously
handicapped when it's question of
dealing with a serious confagration.
A correspondent of the Boston
Transcript, who saw a fire in Paris
few years ago, relates that while
strolling along one of the principal
streets leading from the river up to
the central line of boulevards his at
tention was caught by commotion
in building just across the street.
Smoke was rolling out of the win
dows of the third story, and busy
hands were visible throwing items
of household use out of the windows
with that lack of discretion SO preva-
lent among the savers of material at
fires. Chairs and tables, long
legged stool and items of bric-a- brac
were saved from the flames only to
meet q quicker and more certain de-
struction on the hard asphalt pave
ment. In the attic window there
was a woman screaming, although
it proved afterward she was quite as
free from actual danger as If on the
sidewalk below. A small crowd
gathered and some one said, "They
have sent for the fremen. The
household goods were taken down
in a desu1tory way and the woman
au seiziefne continued her screams.
In just Is minutes the engine ar
rived. It was such a one as may be
seen today at a muster in New
Hampshire. Tt was gently led up
the street by it's cords and set in
position beneath the windows, from
which the smoke was still slowly
coming forth. The firemen, who are
sappers and miners in the French
army, were dressed in uniform, each
with leather helmet on his head,
and most of them with the short
hooked climbing ladder in hand, of
a form not unlike that now used by
u.s. If the previous proceedings had
been deliberate, all that was changed
now. Like so many monkeys the
firemen climbed from balcony to
balcony, running up their little lad
ders, so that in a moment the whole
front of the building was alive with
men. Half a dozen were on the floor
of the fire, tumbling in at the win
dows, but the confagration had been
too quick for them. It had devoured
all that was combustible at hand and
was truly in a dying condition. It
did not need the services of the lit
tie engine, for the fremen, scraping
together what little there was left
of it's embers in some kind of scoop,
dropped it in a mass after the furni-
ture and other goods. Two brave
fellows, climbing to the gutter, res
cued the screaming woman, who
throughout all that interval had not
ceased to make known her distress,
and deposited her head first through
the window of an adjoining house,
and thus closed the little episode,
