From the Mississippi river on the
west and from far to the east, persons
come to Viroqua every month to coneult
DR.. McElwee, who has astonished The
people by his wonderful cures. Unlike
travelling doctors generally, the doctor
has permanent Offices where he resides
in our capital city and may be relied
upon to carry cut all he promises The
cure of John Dahlstrom, who was told
by the doctors that he had one lung in
very bad condition. is certainly eur
prising and he hadn't been able to work
any for months and he coughs almost
all the time. He sweat at night terribly
and was so thin and weak he could
hardly stand. He happened to hear
about DR. McElwee curing bad case
aud he went to see him The doctor
told him there was a chance for him il
he would carry out his treatment faith
fully. 1t looks like John had done so
because be seems quite we'll now, being
at work again. His ght sweats stopped
aud coughs scarcely any. The fine I'M
ported remedies the doctor uses in these
cases combined with his large experience
seem to do the work every time.

THE BEAUTIFUL.
wrinkled and OLD are those hands Of
hers

wrinkled and oid are those hands Of
hers,
hard end full Of the seams
OF labor and the years,
KDotted the knuckles
And creased and crinkled
The skin on the backs Of them.
Dark veined and large,
With splotches Of brown
Between the drawn teudons,
AS if scared by tears,
Thick the nails and blunted, s
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length Of them,
Calious the palms
And lacking all pinkness and prettiness.
Old are those hands of hers, !
Wrinkied and hard
But, oh, what a story Of
Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell.
Those hands of woman
Whose threescore years and ten
Have been passed in doing the good
That women do!

Rev. George W. Morrow Resigns.

Sunday morning, at the close OF the
regular service at the Christian church,
Rev. George w. Morrow read bis resigna-
tion as pastor OF the society, to take effect
at the earliest time upon which the truss
tees may agree. The announcement is re-
ceived with sincere regret, not only by
his practitioners but by the entire com
munity in which he has labored faithfully
and effectively for nearly eight years, or
since January, 1891.
I. Since his advent here the church has
been reconstructed, enlarged, beautified
and rededicated and the new parsonage
has been built. 1t has heen an era of an
usual prosperity In church history ana
the departure OF the Jealous pastor who
has wrought so untiringly for good is
| keenly regretted.
He has accepted the Office of state SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon league
for Vermont, with headquarters at Bur-
liington, and will have the direction Of
other state workers.
The choice of Mr.. Morrow for this work
is happy one, bis reputation as an eDer-
getic aud aggressive temperance worker
being already established. Bo is well
known throughout the state as an evan
gelist, an eloquent lecturer and an active
Sunday school worker, having served four
years as president of the Vermont State
Sunday school association.
Mr.anu MRS. MorroW nave an unusually
large circle OF friends whose hearty we'll
wishes will follow them to their new
home, and while IT must he no easy task
for them to resign their pleasant SUR
roundings here, the prospect of an en-
larged field of usefulness induces their re-
h.oval.
Rev. W. n. Chidley OF Newmarket, Ont,
will occupy the Christian pulpit next
Sunday In the absence OF Rev. MIR. Nor
row, who attends a meeting OF the super
intendents OF the Anti Saloon league OF

members had. before coming to our city,
thoughtful.y considered what was best to c,m-

coming to the front Of females with no Do
litical office in view, not prompted by hope Of
pecuniary pay-non-voters, young women, fe-
males not filing upits, women who were
not restrained from that full proper grapp ing
with questions involving vice and other short
