 "We feared she would have to be taken to an asylum for treatment.
 The best phYsieians and many Proprie- tary medicines failed to do her any good.
 i've had read of wonderful cures by Dr. Wi1liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and at length decided to give them trial. We purchased some at the drug store of White & Burdick, in Ithaca.
 "Soon after she began taking the pills Hattie began to improve. First her head aches disappeared, then the attacks of diE- Einess ceased and the cough likewise dis appeared. One after another the alarming symptoms left her.
 She gained steadily in weight and strength. The change for the better in body and mind is almost incredible. In all she has taken nine boxes of Dr. W1- liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and now she Is in perfect health."
 NIT. Burnett swore to the accuracy of his account, formally, before C. R. Vol colt, Notary Public.
 When the blood is weakened and lacks the clements needed to build up new tis- sues, body and mind both suffer, as in the case of Miss King. All of the many dis eases due to heterogeneous of the blood and nervous system are cured by Dr. VII liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They supply in vegetable form the clements that arc lacking, and restore perfect health.
 All druggists sell Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. One box for so cents, or six boxes for $2.50.

Don't Put Things On.

"l cannot too strongly impress upon you. Philip, said Mrs, Gratebar, "the fact that things in general are not auto matic-that IS. they will not do them selves-and the longer you put off the attack upon them the harder they are to tackle. Don t put things of, Philip. To things that require deliberation you will give sufficient thought; but, as to the run of things that come up. acquire the habit of disposing of them as they come along, you will find it great help in many ways. Don t cord 'em up. Philip. The first thing you know you will have more stacked up than you can saw. and then. too, the pile is liable to fall on you at any time and hurt you.

On the verge of insanity, Miss Hattie King, of Ithaca, ". r., was checked in the course that was taking her rapidly to the grave, and restored to her friends in sound physical and mental health and rsgainsd happiness.
 The change for the better in this charm Ing young woman, not yet eighteen years old, is SO great that when she reappeared in public her friends could hardly believe the evidence that their eyes clearly showed them.
 Miss King became greatly weakened by a complication of physical troubles, and was looked upon By her friends and family as one doomed to carly death.
 Her stepfather, Charles M. Burnett, tells of her strange cure as followSG
 "Hattie first complained of dizziness, which steadily grew worse.
 "She suffered with nausea and attacks of vomitinRp could keep but little on her stomach.
 "Kidnsy disease attacked her. She was pale, thin, and her blood, when drop was drawn by the prick of a needle, was al- most as colorleSs as water.
 Her heart was affected. She would frequently faint from the slight sxertion ot rising from bed or from chair.
 She eoughed continually, so that her friends feared she was consumptive.

 We are so tired. We ask no more Than just to slip out by life's door And leave behind the noisy rout And everlasting turn about.

 We carried out our intention as fol- lows: We made each of our principals write out his own version of what had occurred. We then chose an umpire. We selected Colonel Horn of the Twen- tieth regiment, d clear headed and much respected officer. With his approval we sent him the two statements, and he directed us to come to his house the fol- lowing morning with our principals.
 At the appointed time we arrived and were shown into the dining room. We bowed formally to each other across the table and awaited the appearance of our referee. Colonel Horn soon entered, and, addressing our principals, said:
 "Gentlemen, in the first place, must thank you for having made my duty SC light. Nothing could be more open. generous or gentlemanlike than your statements. The best advice can give you is that you shake hands and forget that the occurrence has ever happened. ''
 They at once walked up to each other and shock hands cordially. They were the best of friends ever after.

Control of PaIsied Hands.

The control men get over their hands by constant practice was being discuss ed. One cited the case of an artist who is afflicted with palsy so badly that he cannot convey his food or drink to his mouth unaided. And yet this man with pallet and brush ill hand can paint as we'll as ever he could. Before his brush touches the canvas his hand trembles violently, but the moment he feels the brush touch his picture his stroke be- comes firm and strong and just what he desires it to be.
 Almost parallel case is that of a veteran soldier we'll known ill Kansas City, Peg Leg'' Smith. Smith is now in the Soldiers home ill Leavenworth. When ill Kansas City, he used to run 8 cigar wheel at the city hall square.
 Smith comes to Kansas City frequent ly, and when here likes to go to shoot ing gallery on Walnut street and shoot at the targets. He is good shot and enjoys looking along a rife barrel. Smith has the palsy ill an alarming de- gree. When he raises the rife and aims it at the target, it jerks around in such lively manner that one would wager he could not hit the side of a house, but just as he is about to pull the trig- ger his hand steadies and the next in stant tho bell rings. The palsied man has hit tho ullseye.-Kansas City Star.

The Story the Cub Reporter Didn't Get. One day cub reporter was sent to cover a meeting of an east side literary club, which was to debate about arbi- tration and its effect upon international peace, but he came back to the office within an hour looking disappointed.
 "Where's your story?' asked the city editor
 "There wasn't any story to write, '' | replied the new reporter, picking up a newspaper. "They couldn't agree upon the wording of the subject, and they got to arguing and calling names, and finally the meeting broke up ill free fight. So came back, sir. "
 The city editor came down from his desk and gazed pitifully upon the cub. ''They were to have debated on peace, |" he said sorrowfully land the meeting broko up in fight and there was noth- ing to write! You may go." That is a story they tell along the row, and it is an old one.-Scribner'

A BLOSSOM IN THE SOUL.

Across an apple ripe. from out your store,
Cut a thin transverse slice, through grain
and core.
Not ouartering or ranging with the stem,
There. In the center. an artistic gem,
Safe In that casket, guarded and concealed
Held TO the light, is unto YOU revealed:
Perfect In outline. though long hid In
gloom.
Is limned a perfect, shapely apple bloom:
The spirit OF the blossom, from the past
Preserved within the apples heart 10 last
A seal and symbol. though thus yeilod and
mute
That blooms are really souls of ripened
fruit.
That blossom once made fragrant far and
wide,
Like scented snow. but who Thought Il
would hide
Within this body as a secret shrine,
Perfect In form and in ghost-like outline,
Proof Of the all-important. gladstone truth,
That old age may possess the heart Of
youth.
Men missed its youthful presence. thought
e dead.
Watched for its disappearance with vague
dread,
Long missed Its beauty. thought its petals
gone.
Yet here; like some veiled nun. the flower
lived on,
Its fragrance sealed. fits beauteous petals
furled.
Retiring for a season from the world.
But all the while the body round Il drapeh
Was by Gods law OF beauty deftly shaped,
And all the rosy-cheeked. prosaic whole
Was thus perfected by a fiower-like soul;
Sealed In Its cssket. OF its life a part,
Printing a blossom on its Utmost heart
thus sleeps the music in the silent Lutte
Thus lives the blossom In the ripened fruit,
Thus may the human thought and humH n
tongue,
Take beauteous form from thoughts for
ever young;
Gray hairs and furrowed face its outward
- part,
lat blooms OF childhood in fits inmost heart.
