filled with joy at finding her mother. The rest of the happening Is best told in the mothers own words. She said:
 "On the 29th of Sept, l896 while in the bloom of health, Beatrice Was suddenly and severely afflicted with spinal meningitis. Strong and vigorous before, in five weeks she became feeble and suffered from a para lytc stroke which twisted her head back to the side and made it impossible for her 10 move a limb. Her speech however was not affected. We called in our family doctor, one of the most experienced and successful practitioners in the city. He considered the case a very grave one. Before long lit- tie Beatrice was compelled to wear plaster paris jacket Prominent physicians were consulted, electric batteries were applied, but no benefit was noticed nntil we tried Dr. Williams Pin; Pills for Pale People.
 "Busv in my kitchen one afternoon l was startled by the cry of Mamma from little Beatrice who was creeping towards me. 1 had placed her on an improvsed bed in the parlor She became tired of waiting for me to come back and made up her mind to go to ma, so her story My Pink Pills made me walk, which she tells everyone who comes 10 our house, was then for the first time veri- fled She has walked ever since. She has now taken about nine boxes of the pills and her pale and pinehed face has been growing rosy, and her limbs gained strength day by day She sleeps all night long now, while be- fore taking the pills she could rest hut few hours at time" Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all druggists.

HE CONQUERED IT,
Awful Struggle with q Monster That
 Finally Yielded.
N Was sIIence for . m0menF

All was silence for a moment.
 Then a loud, shrill shiiek rent the startled air There was the sound of heavy body falling, a crashing of timhers noise as of sinful spirits wailing in despair. A chain creaked dismally and then parted with dead, metallic snap. Staggering backward, he fell against the washstand The bowl and pitcher fell in a confused mass of broken crockery upon the floor, while the water flooded the room.
 Again he advanced to the attack, and the black-browed monster bent slightly forward and cast him full length upon the floor Blood gushcd from his wounds, but he leaped again to the attack. With loud curses he grappled with the demon. His garments were torn in a hundred places. One eye was black and blue! The other was blue and black! But still he kept up the fearful combat At length, when nearly exhausted with his life blood slowly oozing from a thousand wounds and his breath coming ill short, painful .gasps, he won! The dread monster lay wide open before him.
 'There!" he said, as he wiped the drops of perspiration from his brow. "Iherel It's a cold day when l cant open folding bed!" N Y World.

Every traveller knows that continuous journeyiug on the railroad is very apt to derange the system in some way. In spite of springs and soft seats there is a coutin- uou5 jar and vibration. which acts upon the nervous system, and produces results varying somewhat, according to the strength of the traveller or his predisposi- ton to some specific ailment. The most common consequence of continuous ear riding is constipation. And this condition invariably produces headache, and tends to bi1iousness. l. J. Converse, St Louis, Mo. found a way 10 avoid the evil effects of constipation, to which he was subject when travelling. He carried with him "the pill that will cure constiPatton and all it's sequent suferings. This IS what he says:
 Travelling on the cars tends to consti- patton with me, but by using pr, J. C, Ayers Pills moderately, my bowels are kept in healthy action. They also prevent hcadache."-J. J. CONVERSE, St. Louis, Mo-
