He had just returned from the to-

choice of the way it's done" Horse
Eyes, but not SO bad as it will be
along in January, after the n0squi~
toes get out of the air and let the wind
have chance Then 1t gets good anc
cold. A man told me who had wintc:
ed up there seven years that it was &,
cold in January that they froze the
flames of their candles and sold them
for strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out In the air and letting them freeze
and then thawed them out in the
morning. He said he had seen four
men die of collie from eating whisky
that was frozen 30 hard it wouldn't
thaw inside of them. He said the
So"6 GIL gave iCc Vi oull I'LL luCy II oHC
to death. He said he knew a clerk in
a hotel on the Yukon that got rich
selling the diamonds he wore, said dia-
monds being nothing on earth but ice
crystals that didn't thaw till after the
| clerk had got out Of the country. He
said he had seen a man fall off the
roof of barn and freeze so stiff be-
fore he lit that he broke in two when
he hit the ground. He said he had
seen smoke freeze in a chimney till
one case where the smoke froze afte'
it got hundred feet up and fell bach
on the house.

We are living too fast. EAST as light

tricity, cook by electricity, travel by

Its hurry, hurry, hurry from the cradle
to the grave.
We crowd too much; crowd our work,
crowd our eating, crowd our pleasure,
crowd our sleeping.
A breaking down Of the nervous sYs-
tenn is the way Of expressing the resist.
1t means a depicting Of the nerves in
duced by prolonged strain; overtaxing OF
the nervous system; product OF over
hurry and hustle.
1t affects all people in all walks OF LIE.
It battles physicians Of all schools.
No one knows the horrors Of such a
condition better than Rev. ]. N. Nc
Cready, of Elkton, Mich. For years ne
laborsd faithfully and well. Ete was pro-
gressive and aggressive; leader among
mea, deep thinker and hard worker.
In his zeal, he overworked; ovsrtaxed
his mental and physical strength.
The outlook was dark, with health shat
tered and recovery apparently hopeless,
Many means for cure were tried, with
out receiving benefit.
Finally he took DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and was restored to health.
He says;
an April, 1895, the physicians said l
must stop preaching or die.

with their names engraved inside the
lid. Then there was certificate OF
marriage between Ralph Dinsmore and
Lelsey Chadwicke; and a few letters,
tied with a faded ribbon, the contents
of which were valuable to the young
girl.
And so, within four-and-twenty
hours after the wonderful intelligence
had burst upon her like thunderbolt,
Lesley Dinsmore was comfortably sit

"Since then, and It has been several
months, have enjoyed life.
"Have preached all summer and held
revival meetings for fifteen weeks.
:" have had no muscular exercise for
years, bot recently, have done considerable
hard work in my garden, my muscles
standing this test remarkably well.
EVERY Sabbath | preach three times

To add weight TO his words, Rev. Nc
Cready made affidavit before I'D. Brookes,
Notary Public.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People

wasted nerve power and in purifying and
enriching the blood. Druggists consider
them the most effective remedy which
they dispense.

"Oh. Heaven! what shall I do?"
The words fell like wall from the
lips of the young girl. standing at the
window of shabby tenement-h house
girl with grave, sad face, and deep,
fathomless gray eyes, and waves OF
hair like FURNISHED gold.
Very poor and bare, and cherries
was the dreary room; its only inmate
this young girl, whose refined beauty
showed her unfitness for the burden
Of poverty resting SO heavily upon her
slender shoulders.
What shall l do?" she moaned
wringing her hands in wild despair
Ever since l was left alone and poor
l have managed to take care OF myself,
until now, How hard | have worked.
