The hurry and hustle Of the housewife
is extremely wearing upon the delicate or
ganism of womanhood.
Her intense earnestness in whatever she
undertakes, tempts her constantly TO 60
beyond her strength.
Mrs. L. E. Browning, Of Pueblo, Colo,
was one who did this.
Eight years ago." said she, my hus-
band died and was left with three child
rem to care for and educate.
THE burdens Of life fell heavily upon
me, but determined to make the best OF it.
al succeeded in my undertakings tor a
livelihood, but in doing SO overtaxed my
self, and undermined my health.
=" | was very i'll about two years ago with
blood poisoning, caused by an absoess that
had not received proper treatment.
The disease settled in my throat for a
time, causing intense agony.
Then inflammatory rheumatism set in.
For four months and half l was a prisoner
in my room, most Of the time confined to
my bed.
"My hands were swollen so that could
not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet
and ankles would have made walking i'm
possible If had been strong enough.
Zone day, after considerable treatment,
my physician brought me a box Of pills.
'Ycu need tonic he said, and some
thing that will act at once, and this is the
best medicine for that purpose
"Pills !" | exclaimed IN surp-;5e as he
opened the box and showed them.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1898-03-18

'Yes,' he replied, these are DR.. Williams,
Pink pills for Pale People, but you need
not be alarmed, they are not phySN7 ana
my word for it, they'll do you good
"Beiore had been taking them week
noticed a great improvement in my CON
dition. Soon my rheumatism was gone
al grew stronger each day and now am
in the best OF health. o.,,
al consider DR.. Williams Pink Pills Tor
Pale People, the best tonic.
"A friend not long ago was telling me
of her mother who is at critical penod IN
her life. g., t.-.
"She was subject TO terrible iainting
spells, and the entire family would work
over her.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills have not only
stopped the fainting spells, but given her SO
much strength that she Is able to take up
LIES duties again."
To more highly endorse her words, ms
Browning made affidavit before George W.
Gill, Notary Public.
All diseases arising from an impoverished
condition Of the blood, and most all come
from that, are cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
They act directly upon the blood. Build
ing it up with lacking constituents; It be-
comes rich and red, the various organs are
nourishud and stimulated to activity in per-
forming their functions, and thus disease IS
eliminated from the system.
7 hese pills are sold everywhere, the sale
being enormous.

Eleven Burned to Death.

Fire Destroyed the BOwery Mission in
New York Early Sunday Morning and
There Was Il Mad Rush to Escape by
the $50 LOdgers.
Eleven persons persisted in the fire which
destroyed the Bowery Mission, a lodging
house conducted by the Christian Herald
at lO5 Bowery, New York city, early Sun
day morning In the basement was a res
taurant the ground floor was used for
meetings, on the upper floors were rooms
for about 100 people, and nearly all were
occupied Saturday night The fire was
discovered about 80 on the third floor,
but the tlamesspread with great rapidity and
were soon bursting through the roof.
When the alarm was given and the in
mates aroused, wild scene of excitement
ensued. Many of the dodgers became pan
ic stricken. They rushed into the Railways
and fell over each other in their efforts to
reach the street. Those on the lower floors
got to the street safely by the stairways,
while those on the upper floors CROPPED their
way through the binding smoke to the
metal fire escapes in front of the building.
The majority of them saved only portions
of their clothing, while several of them
were naked. Those who made their way
to the street by the fire escapes were burned
by the excessive heat of the iron ladders,
which in many places had become red hot
from the flames within. In the meantime
three alarms had been sent in and in a few
minutes the tiremen were busy deluging
the building with torrents of water.
After the fire had been extinguished suf-
hclently so that a search of the place was
possible, the tiremen entered the building,
and search for the missing was begun
Several bodies were found near the win
dows on the two upper floors, where they
had been stricken down while attempting
to make their way to the fire escapes.
Some of these were discovered in the
small rooms they had occupied, while others
were found in the Railways and on the
stairs of the fourth and fifth floors. All of
them were naked and most of them were
burned and charred beyond recognition.
1t is thought by the police that only one of
these bodies will be eventually identified.

Earl sheldon of Burlington Has Been
Missing "a Month.

Nothing further has been heard in Bur
lington of the missing boy, Earl Sheldon.
who is supposed to have been kidnapped
nearly a month ago. Word has been sent
to the police all over the country to be on
the lookout for the boy, but the efforts
have been fruitless. Sheriff Reeves has been
all over Vermont, and has been unable to
find trace Of the boy and is inclined to the
theory that he was drowned in lake Cham
plain.
The boy disappeared on Saturday, Feb
10. He was at play on the street and hap
pened to step into some water and wet his
foot. He left his companions, saying, I'm
going home and started in that direction,
presumably to change his shoes and stock
ings. He entered the park three blocks
from home, and has never been seen since.

a Farm on Which 500. 900 Was E1-
pended,

The Temple Brothers of Rutland have
bought the Maple Grove stock farm near
that city, on the creek road, more common
ly known as the Baxter farm. The pur-
chase of the farm includes the stock, farm
ing implements, etc. Gen. Baxter bought
the original farm in October, 1874 Strips
of land on each side of the creek" road
we're bought and the farm now has be-
tween 2jO and 300 acres, and lies in the
city of Rutland and in the towns of Rut-
land and Clarendon. Gen. Baxter erected
practically all of the buildings now on the
original place. The city water was piped
to the buildings. 1t is estimated that the
General spent between $75, 600 and $780,
600 on his country seat.

Creditors of the Ramsey, ILL.,, Rank
Lose Many Thousnnds

The last thread that connected the cred
itors of the defunct Ramsey, Ill.,, bank
with their lost thousands of dollars prob
ably has been broken. decision has been
rendered in the Appellate court which vir-
tually defeats them in their legal battle
with the ten Chicago bondsmen of the late
state treasurer of Illinois. This means
that the controversy in court undoubtedly
will cease, as the people who lost their
money in the bank have grown tired of the
two years of litigation. Two hundred res
idents of Carlyle and vicinity are out in
the neighborhood of $3.50, 900, which is a
clean cash loss. Rufus \. Ramsey. bank
er of Carlyle, was elected state treasurer
in 1892. On the night of Nov. II, 1894,
Ramsey died No anxiety was felt by de-
positors for the safety of their money until
action was filed in the probate court by the
Chicago bondsmen against the Ramsey es-
tate for 1893, 600, which represented the
deficiency in the state cash box. The
claim was placed in class which gave it
preference over those of the real creditors.

A receiver for the Iowa State bank of
Sioux City and his attorney are in Mont

led on the stockholders. The assessments
made by the receiver is 90 cents on the
dollar of capital stock. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that the matter will be taken into the
courts to see if the assessment can be col
lected. 1t is thought by many that they
have been robbed by parties connected
with the bank, as when it went to the wall
its assets were found to be nearly worthless.
Nearly $50, 600 in stock was held by Yer
monters, largely residents:of Montpelier,
