finished my course, [ have kept the
faith; hencef"rth there is laid up for
me crown of righteousness.

Operated On a Tiger.


Rev. Samuel Haughton, who died
in Dublin on Sunday last, was not only
a clergyman and man of science, but
medical man to boot, and his knowl-
edge of surgery enabled him on one
occasion to perform with complete sue
cess. under circumstances of great per-
sonal danger, an operation on the paw
of one of the tigers of the Dublin ZOO.
The claw of the animal, having be-
come distorted, had grown into the
foot, and gangrene was threatened. A
net was thrown over the animal and
he was drawn forward to the door of
the cage; and then, while the assist
ants held his paws, excepting the dis
ased one, DR.. Haughton cut away the
claw. The rage of the tigress, looking
on through the bars of the side den,
was terrible to witness, and after the
operation she turned up the paw Of
her mate, examined it, and then licked
him as cat ticks kitten. A week
later DR.. Haughton was again at the
zoo to see how his patient was going
on. When the tiger espied him he be-
gan to purr like cat and allowed The
doctor to examine the paw. Indeed,
for years afterward both the tiger and
tigress showed themselves most friend
ly and grateful to DR.. Haughton.

SKILL OF DOCTORS TESTED.
Fifteen Years of Suffering.
Il thought | should surely die

When the stomach begins to fail in
Its duties, other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy, and life is simply a
burden almost unbeatable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are SO common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example of the sufferinps
Of the victim OF indigestion is furnished
in the case of John c. Pritchard. He went
on for fifteen years, from bad to worse
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
! weaker, and thought he would die. He
got we'll, however, and thus relates his
experience:
For fifteen years was great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms. I

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT,
whstever We Lack We should Try to
Make the Day ENJOYABLE.

Whatever We Lack We Should Try to
Make the Day ENJOYABLE.
Because We cannot have the Yule
log and traditional roast pig, shall we
refuse the cheer of anthracite coal and
baked turkey?" says Florence Hall
Wlnterburn, writing on the Spirit
OF Christmas in the December Wom-
ans Home Companion. "Or if even
the open fire, the mistletoe and the
family gathering are beyond us, must
we dlsdain the home making attempts
or the steam radiator, and find no
comfort in the dainty elaborateness or
Widespread table, catering to the
needs of a refined modern taste? Sup
pose the nisanthrope (for the recluse
VINO lives only in an imaginary
Christmas is a misanthrope) came out
OF his shell and gathered the young
people about him to charm their ears
with tales of the old ways Of holiday
Keeping when he was boy Would
not this be better than grumbling out
protests against the new ways that
have their own reasons for being, and
offer in turn their own measure OF
enjoyment to willing spirits? Genial
Old age is always a welcome pres
ence, and it never suggests any con-
trasts that put us out of conceit with
the pleasures that lie within our
reach. But carping even If it pro-
ceeds from the patriarch, is au infiic-
ton severe enough to blight any holi-
day.
In the nature of things there must
be holidays. How poverty-strickeI IS
that soul which does not recognize
this necessity and shows itself heartily
good time youth and all unspoiled
minds accept with gratitude. There is
no predeterminate set of conditions for
holiday-making that need tie adven-
turous hands, and if traditional GUS
toms belonging to Thanksgiving and
Christmas are vanished beyond recall,
we can harmonic the day with our
present abilities.
My sympathy is with those who
Wish to bring back upon Christmas
day the sweet old traditional observ-
ances l love them we'll, even those
that are known to me only by hear
say and were outgrown in that shad-
owy period alluded to as before the
war But no one thing is indispensa-
bic to happiness with any of us, unless
with children, and not even with them
if judicious substitute is made. What
ever we have, or whatever we lack,
the quality that makes the occasion is
] the spirit We bring to it. Goodwill
never fails to create a good time. 1t
finds merit in rain, lifts fog and lights
a CHEEKY blaze within that passes for
the sunshine in it's absence. And
| goodwill has not passed away with
chivalry, nor persisted under the on
rush of science. 1t lives and breathes
now, and is here at this moment to
light our Christmas fires and swing
incense before our affairs All we need
do is to recognize and adapt it."

and perfect cure performed by Dr.. Ayers
Pills. Similar results occur i'll every case
where DR.. Ayers Pills are used. ''They
helped me right away" is the common
expression of those who have used them.
