Remarkable Rescue.

ILL.,, makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her

Anatomical.

A quack doctor stood on his wagon
at street corner selling his cure-all.
A group of people gathered about
him, and he undertook to explain to
them the anatomy of the throat.
My dear friends" he began, "per-
haps you don't know it; but there are
two passages that go from the back
of the mouth to the stomach. One
is called nsophagus, and the other is
esophagi. Now, the solid victuals
goes down the esopbagus, and the
liquids down the esophagi.
"Over the top of the holes is a
cover with hinge in the middle, and
when you swallow beefsteak the
little door over the esopbagus flies
open, and the little door over the
esophagi drops down, and vice versa
when you take drink of coffee"
This description proved too much

of the crowd. Shaking with laugh

A Remarkable Case.

The following case was printed
originally in The Monitor, a news
paper published at Meaford, Ontario.
Doubts were raised as to it's truthful
ness, consequently close watch was
kept on the case for two years and
the original statement has now been
completely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been a hopeless
paraly tic for five years. His case
has had wide attention. He was
confined to his bed, was bloated
almost beyond recognition, and could
not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosis, and all
said he could not live. The Cana.
dian Mutual Life Association after q
thorough examination, paid him his
total disability claim of $l,G30, re-
garding him as forever incurable.
For three years he fingered in this
condition. After taking some of DIR.

Advantages Of Worrying 4
Little.

Don't j3in a Don't Worry Club.
Don't try not to worry. While con-
tentment is pleasing virtue, the
people you know who are contented
would be better off if they worried
more. Absolute contentment and
indifference to the possible troubles
of to morrow will land anyone in the
poorhouse. The cow dosn't worry,
neither does the clam, but people
are built to worry, and it was in
tended they should. On the other
hand, if you worry too much it will
land you in the insane asylum. 1t
is the insane asylum on the one hand
and the poor farm on the other; the
point is to worry just enough to
keep out of both of them.

the gallant young Fred Funston,
who Is now Lieutenant Colonel in
the Cuban army, and who is at home
IN Kansas recovering from several
bad wounds incurred in as many en-
gagements. The island of Cuba, as
l understand its topography, is
specially adapted to guerilla warfare,
and for that reason, l believe couple
or three thousand Indian warriors,
with their complement of cowboys,
would soon put all the Spanish reg

novel method Of effective fighting, of
which European armies know moth

81 firmly believe that 5000 well
armed Indian warriors, under the
leadership Of such strategist, diplo-
mat and statesman as was Sitting
Bull could soon clear the island of all
the Spanish regulars there, with the
help of the cowboys of the range

there was slight change, tendency
to sweat freely. Next came a little
feeling in his limbs. This extended,
followed by a pricking sensation,
until at last the blood began to
course freely and vigorously through
his body. Soon he was restored to
his old time health.
A reporter for The Monitor recent
ly called on Mr. Petch again and was
told:
"You may say there is no doubt as
to my cure being permanent. [ am
in better health than when [ gave
you the first interview and certainly
attribute my cure to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People.
ITO these pills I owe my release
from the living death, and I shall
always bless the day I was induced
to take them"
Such is the history of one of the
most remarkable cases in modern
times. In the face of such test
mony, can anyone say that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills are not entitled to
the careful consideration of every
sufferer-man, woman or child? Is
not the case, in truth, miracle OF
modern medicine?
These pills are sold by all drug
gists and are considered by them to
be one of the most valuable remedial
agents known to science.

All that medical skill and loving
hands could do was done to alleviate
his suffering For two days his
spirit lowered between life and death.
and then the end came. On Thurs
day evening, April 2lst, just as the
last day beams were fading away,
the sun of life went down, and his
precious spirit winged its everlasting
flight, leaving US to weep DER his
cold, still form.
He was buried at Old Lexington
church, where he professed conver-
sion about four years ago and up TIL
the time of his death had lived in
keeping with his profession. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Blanton of Prosperity, who
spoke sweet words Of comfort to the
grief stricken family and sorrowing
friends, from Revs -, /, land there
shall be no more sea-" our deceased
friend having crossed over the sea OF
death, there is no longer any division
between him and the joys of heaven.
There was a large congregation pres
ent at tue funeral, many of whom
were his former students, who came
with offerings of flowers and tear
stamped faces for last look at their
much loved teacher, who had taught
them so many lessons of goodness,
beauty and truth.
But his noble life has closed, and
God alone knows the grand possibili-
ties to which he might have attained
had it not pleased Him to remove
him so soon. Yes, he is gone. Oh the
depths of sadness in those words.
His familiar form is hidden from
our view by the little flower covered
mound in the old churchyard; but
time can never blot out of memory
his cheerful face and his bright
smile, which even in death illumined
the calm pale features, fixed there,
no doubt, just as his spilit caught
the first glimpse of the beauties OF
paradise, farewell, Ambrose.
Thou art gone to the grave; We no longer
behold thee,
Nor tread the rough paths of the world
by thy side:
Bat the wide arms of L ercy are spread to

And sinners may hope. since the Savior
hath died.
