A Boon to Weak Men.

The depression caused by certain kinds
Of sickness Is terribly wearing, and
weakens and runs you down more rapid
ly than the physical di'ease itself. Weak
men know this. The consciousness of
having lost vitality and vigor, perhaps
foolishly, is simply maddening. Once,
however, let the victim see prospect of
recovery and this passes away. The
vigorless man sees light ahead, sees re-
newed strength and vitality in the i'm
mediate future and Is soon cured. But
1t takes the highest skill and the widest
experience to bring this about. DR..

was made in st. Adams, one night last
week, which, had it not been for the
plucky fight made by the young man
who was held up, might have resulted
in murder. 1t appears that young
man by the name of c. L. Hopkins of
st. Adams, who had been out to call on
a neighbor, was returning home when a
man suddenly jumped out from clump
of bushes by the roadside and demanded
his money, at the same time grabbing
him by the arm. Young Hopkins was
greatly frightened, but determined not
to give up his hard earned money with
out struggle. He grappled with the
villainous looking highwayman and at
temped to down him, and finally clutch
ed his assailant by the throat and was
proceeding to strangle him, when the
man suddenly big knife from his
pocket and made huge at the young
man. Hopkins attempted to dodge the
blow but was unsuccessful and the steel
blade buried itself in his arm. He was
now confident that the man intended to
murder him, and he fought more despe-
rately than ever. 1t was fight for life
and after terrible struggle he succeed
ed in freeing himself from the clutches
of the robber. Blood was flowing from
the knife wound in his arm, but with
out stopping to make an examination he
darted down the road in the direction Of
his home. The highwayman made no
attempt to follow him and was last seen
walking up the road. The wound in
Hopkins arm was not serious, and he
will be all right in day or two.
