which had stolen up into his hallway
and intonated the beautiful German
song, This is the LORDS Own Day
Back Of the quartet was a party of
well-known citizens old friends of his.

serenade and banquet.
Following the hymn came the rous-
ing melody of German university stu

"GaudeaEnus lsitur," wheTeupon Mr.
Simon Wolf turned TO Mr.. Suess who.
utterly bewindered by this unexpected
occurrence, had come out of his room.
and, in his happiest vein, congratulated
him and wished for him many returns
Of the day. Mr.. +. Berliner followed
with short address, in which he re-
called the highly-eyentful medicines in

sung in the Thomas School at Leipzig.

great Franz Abt being his
classmate; how as young me-

But how did it happen that the COM
mission was given to YOU?
The old German took of his specta-

details of the event

One day the word came To make the
Qheens wedding ring. / had the spec
ialty: / made all such rings: and so
they gave il to me to do. That is all"
The wedding ring that signaliZed
Victorias alliance with Prince Albert
was one of the many instances of the
Queens preference for richness and
simplicity. 1t was quite plain and more
solid than is usual in ordinary wedding
rings.
During the marriage ceremony Prince
Albert wore il on his own finger, and
taking il off at the proper moment
passed it to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. His Grace handed it back to
the Prince, who placed il on his bride :

gold band pass between the two royal
personages. and at the same moment
the cannon fired royal salute, and all
London knew that Victoria was mar
ried
a pretty incident is related of the re-
turn to Buckingham Palace The
Queen left the cathedral ungloved, and
whether by accident or design Prince
Albert incl0sed Her Msjesty's hand in
his own in such way as to display the
wedding ring to the best advantage.
There were twenty miles of people who
saw that wedding ring as Victoria
drove back to Buckingham Palace
And yet, the German who made il
mentions the fact as an unimportant
incident of his life. and lives on con-
tentedly in a little Philadelphia store.

It is true wisdom for every.
body to take thorough course of
Swift's Specific just at this season
of the year. The blood is sluggish
and impoverished, and the system
is full of impurities which should
be eliminated. In addition to
thoroughly cleansing the blood,
and toning up the system so as to
avoid loss of appetite and gen.
eral rundown feeling in the
spring, S. S. S. so strengthens and
builds up as to fortify against the
many forms of dangerous illness
that abound during the hot sum-
mer season. 1t is a very small
matter to take this precaution but
it insures health and strength all

q Port Huron, Mich, April 22.-J. d.
Moore, a prosperous business man of
ST. Mary's, ont, was swindled out of
$4,000 at Sarna by gold brick scheme.
A stranger giving the name of David
Brown called on Moore and interested
him in a gold mine in Arizona. Moore
was taken to the camp Of Mexican two
miles out of Sarnia, looked at the bricks.
and together with Brown came into
Sarnia to have them assayed. Another
confederate was at the Belchamber no
tel in the person Of United States as
sayer." He assayed the bricks and
stamped them "U. S.-20-carat fine"
Moore was not satisfied and went
back to the camp, where he was per-
mitted to take some of the filings. The
filings were pronounced genuine by
Sarnia jeweler, and Moore drew $4,000
in bills from the bank. He bought the
b ricks, which were supposed to be worth
$4,000. Later the jeweler pronounced
the bricks copper, and Moore made
complaint to the police. Provincial De-
tective Giffin is on the trail of the
swindlers.
