A FKIEND'S ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It Is not a common occurrence that
friendly word should be the means of CIV
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice it
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one she
finds herself SO active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years OF industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief. / was at that time earning my
living as a tailoress, but for five years,
between the pain in my side and the
blisters l was in constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, a
friend advised me to take DR.. Ayers Sar
saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take
a regular course of it. When | first com
menced taking the Sarsaparilla my side
was so painful that could not fasten my
dress, and for a time I did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per
severe and relief was sure to come, and
come 1t did. This happened, as say,
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
have passed through the most critical
period OF a woman's life without any par
ticular trouble, and to-day, at sixty-one
years of age, am active and strong, and
able to do days work that would upset

recovery have taken a couple OF bottles
OF DR.. Ayers Sarsapaiilla each spring, and 4
health to this treatment. / give this ftsH-
monial. purely in the hope that it may
meet the eye of some poor suherer."-
MARY LINGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won Its way
to every corner OF the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried II and
who know they were cured by the use OF
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testi ony. II throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock of expert
ence challC. ging every skeptic with q
positive ~ kno,o." Ayers Sarsaparilla
with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in a complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with a bottle, and
went on to a course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it, So she took a couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are thousands OF similar
cases on record. Some OF these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the
J. c. Aver Co., Lowell Mass. Write for II.

Shot the Way the Dog Came.

The other day Ole Hanson had trouble
with a bellicose dog that belonged to hia
neighbor, Russian by the name of Hayva
Drenkovitskey. The Swede shot the dog
as soon as he discovered that he was not
friendly to him, and the sequel found lodg'
ing in Justices court. When Ole was pro-
pounded inerrogatories by the attorney for
the prosecution he evidenced a sense of JUS
tce in framing replies that is rarely wit
messed.
"What sort of a gun did you have, Mr..
Hanson" inquired the attorney.
"Es var two-hole shotgun"
"Double-barrel?"
"Yas, das ct"
"Well, don't you think you could have
scared him away"
"Aye might eff aye had not bane scare SO

"Why didn't you take the other end of the

wasn't extenuating circumstances connect d

"And do you ever have such moments!"

"And do you ever have such moments"
she asked;
Eyes" he replied, "many of them"
"You are young, you have genius, you
have many friends who expect great things
of you. Why should you ever have dreary
moments"
He turned an earnest look upon her, and
she permitted her long curling lashes to
brush her cheeks.
"Need l tell you why?" he asked, in
trembling tones.
She did not answer.
"If had been permitted to know-some
one, before it was too late" he went on,
"life could have held no dreary moments
for me. If dared now to ask for the love
of-some one who has given herself to an.
other, Heaven would open to me. i'll dared

He hesitated. She arose and smiled sadly
as they parted.
That night she sat alone and held her
mirror in her hands for a long, long time.
And there was feeling of satisfaction in
her heart as she contemplated her beauty

Boston Was Very Much Out of the World
Yesterday.
Having done its worst on the railroads
the storm devoted some Of it's energy 10
the telegraph service. 1t seemed to nave
grudge against the centre of the uni
verse and proceeded to isolate the Athens
of America as effectually as IL that city
of culture had suddenly been transported
to the planet Mars. Both telegraph COM
panies were doing business as usual all
day, except that they could not reach Bos'
ton. On the Western Union lines, com
munication was maintained with New
buryport and Lawrence without difficulty,
but between those points and the Bay
State capital none of the wires would
work. New York was reached by way Of
White River junction and the lines were
working all right to the east and NORTH,
but neither New York, Worcester, Con-
cord or any of the other places to which
the wires run could get Boston up to a
late hour in the afternoon. The Postal
Union could reach about the same
points as the other line, but it could give
no answer to the question lis Boston
still on the face of the earth?'

EXPERIENCE OF LAWRENCE.
A Fire added to the Terrors of the
Storm,

Lawrence, Mass, February 1.-The
great storm of years, cold Boreas" and
King Winter reigns supreme, TRAFFIC on
the electric and steam railroads totally
stalled, telephone and telegraph wires
down and Lawrence isolated from the
outside world as II the city was situated
in the centre of the Arctic circle. This
is the condensed story of the terrible gale
of last evening which swept over this
city.
BY s O'Clock the wind. commenced to
blow and in short time gale OF the
worst sort was raging throughout the
clty.H About 10 O'Clock all traffic ceased,
as we'll as any attempt to work the snow
pIoWs. The cars were Obliged TO re-
main where they were for the night ana
they were scattered all over the city.
The persons who were unfortunate
enough to be in them were obliged to
sleep in them all night.
This morning there was a large gang
OF men set to work to shovel out the
trenches on the main streets.

O'Clock thirty five or forty storm ridden
and belated passengers sought passage
home. At this hour the sea was rising
and falling at such rate at the ferry
slips ON both sides as to make getting
aboard extremely hazardous for all, and
especially for some of the LADIES' VINO
heroioally boarded the boat.
Captain Seabury's personal experience
in getting to his home in this town after
the nights work was over is fair index
Of the situation at that hour. He first ran
into snow drift seven feet high at the
corner of Sawyer and Front streets-and,
to use the Captains own expressive Ian
guage, sit required wading and swim
ming to get through it, This was only
one Of many. The next thing the Cap
tain struck was an electric car stalled on
Front street with snow piled half way to
its top. Another car belonging to the
same line was in similar abandoned
tain said he had undergone many tough
experiences on "land and sea" but never
before had he come so near being stifed
and smothered as when making his way
home from the slip at the late hour just
mentioned Monday night last.
Capt. Dean started for duty from his
home yesterday morning at 8. 80 O'Clock.
He went to his shoulders in snow at
the start, but finally weatheredEthe storm
and made the slip on this side. 1t was
blowing hurricane, and too high sea
to make it safe to attempt the trip. \ The
high seas abated somewhat by O'Clock.
Even at that hour the sea broke over
the bow, the ice was still packed at the
slip, but he succeeded in reaching the
city in safety. When day dawned Cap.
tain Dean observed one loaded scow and
another light one sunk right off the sliI
on the Cape side. They belonged to the
Valentine Dredging Company. Another
scow broke adrift and landed on the fats
on the Cape shore.
Great difficulty was experienced by
both captains in making their trips by
the different scows which drifted, drag
ging their anchors, to the very mouth Of
the slip on this side, and by the schooner
Walter Young, which lay near by.
The boat made it's usual trips yester
day, and one evidence of damage was the
tearing away of the piling on the city
side by some schooner which broke away
from her moorings.

POLO TEAMS wERE.sTALLED ALsc

There was no polo game in City Hall
last night as had been scheduled. Quite
a large crowd turned out to see the game
with the Biddefords, but they were dis
appointed. The Biddeford polo team was
unable to get into this city. The Baths
played in Biddeford on Monday night,
and after the game in that city went
down to the station to get train for
home. They staid in the station all
night and at last accounts they were
still there. The Biddeford team tried to
get into Portland to meet the local team
but they had to give up the attempt.
The game with Lewiston Thursday will
be certain to come off, however and it is
bound to be one of the greatest games of
the year. : The amateur game will be
between the South Portlands and Forest
Citys, the two best teams in the amateur
league.

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
How Portland Horsemen Started Out to
Secure a Fair.

How Portland Horsemen Started Out to
Secure Fair.
Yesterday was the day set for tho meet
ing in Boston which was to decide the
location of the next New England fair,
ana number of Portland men were in
tending to go to the Hub to present Port
lands claims for the big show. About
thirty of them turned up at the Union
station early in the forenoon and patient
~ waited for the train which did not
start General Manager Alonzo Libby
left his home in Westbrook on the early
morning train ON the Rochester for this
city, intending to continue on his way tx
Boston. Before MIR. Libby had left theEoarl
hour when II the meeting had been hel(
the fate OF the fair would have long beer
settled.
"Say" said the fireman on the SECOND
of the stalled trains ut Woodfords, "these
people around here are the best folk!
you'll meet in long while, and we are
in no danger of starving. I've just hat
two invitations out to dinner and they
are looking after us in great shape
It's an Ill wind which blows nobody
good and the restaurants did good bust
ness catering to the wants of those WHIT
having got down town did not propose tt
go home before nightfall. Few wanted tt
make two trips.
During the day there was much talk o.
the great storms OF the past. Some
thought that this one was as big as the
famous storm of 81, but more likened il
to the blizzard of '6S.
OF course there were the usual stories
OF loss of life and q persistant ru1nor tina,
somebody had been frozen to death some
where at some time during the night wa:
not confirmed. One good citizen living
on Spring street while trying to make tht
path of his neighbor pleasanter by
shovelling off the sidewalk was overcome
by his exertions and had to be revived II

cts like Sunday in our building, .
said well known lawyer. Ny partner
has not shown up, the stenographer has
not come down and I'm going to shut up
the Office and go home and shovel the
sidewalk. -
Among the people on the street at {
late hour Monday night were a group Of
three who had got from the Jefferson &c
the steps of J. R. Libby's store on the
corner of Congress and Oak streets where
they were patiently waiting for the cars
to come which would take them home.
The difficulties under which the street
car men labored in the early stages of the
storm when they were still trying tc
make their trips. may be inferred from
the fact that one of the Congress street
cars was three-quarters of an hour going
from the top of Munjoy hill to Brown
street.
