A Slave from BOyhOOd.
From the Red Hing, Minn., RepubIican.)

(FrOm the Red Wing, Minn., Republican.)
 "I am now twenty four years old, '' said Edwin Swanson, of White Rock,
 Goodhue county, Minn., to a Repub- lican representative, "and as you can see ] am not very large of stature.
 When I was eleven years old became afflicted with 8 sickness which baffied
 the skill and knowledge of the physi- clan. I was not taken suddenly ill,
 but on the contrary, can hardly state the exact time when it began. The first symptoms were pains in my back and restless nights. The disease did not trouble me much at first, but it seemed to have settled in my body to stay and my bitter experience during the last thirteen years proved that to be the case. I was of course child and never dreamed of the suffering in store for me. 1 complained to my parents and they concluded that in time I would outgrow my trouble. but when they heard me grooming during my sleep they became thoroughly alarmed. Med lcal advice was sought but to no avail, I grew rapidly worse and was soon un- able to move about and finally became confined continually to my bed.
 The best doctors that could be had were consulted, but did nothing for me. l tried various kinds of exten slvely advertised patent medicines with but the same result.
 "For twelve long years was thus a sufferer in constant agony without re. spite. Abscesses formed on my body in rapid succession and the world in- deed looked very dark to me. About this time when all hope was gone and nothing seemed left but to resign my self to my most bitter fate my attention was called to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Like a drowning man grasping at straw. in sheer des- peration I concluded to make one more attempt-not to regain my health q dare not to hope so much) but if pos sible to ease my pain.
 ''I bought box of the pills and they seemed to do me good. I felt en- couraged and continued their use. After taking six boxes was up and able to walk around the house. I have not felt so well for thirteen years as dur ing the past year. Only one year have I taken Dr. Williams Pink Pills and I am able now to do chores and attend to light duties.
 "Do hesitate to let you publish what have said? No. Why should I? It is the truth and I am only too glad to let other sufferers know my ex. peIience. It may help those whose cup of misery is as full today as mine was in the past
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain. in a condensed form, all the clements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork pr excesses of whatever nature. Pink l Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose Dnlk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2. 50, and may be had of all drug ysits, or direct by mail from Dr. Will iams' Medicine Company, Schenec- Eady, N. Y.

And Then He Proposed.

There had been a brief interval of si- fence, and he felt that he ought to say something.
 ''I see that the students of sociology have figured it out, he began, "that education"-
 He paused as if in doubt whether he ought to proceed.
 "Yes?" she said encouragingly.
 -'that education is having bad ef feet upon matrimony,' he continued; especially the education of women"
 ''I never did believe in too much ed- ucation," said she softly.
 She waited for him to speak, but he said nothing.
 "I'm glad I never knew my lessons, anyway" she added.
 Some men are slow to take hint, but they are quick to understand when they are hit with an ax.
 He saw the point. Chicago Post.

An Innuisitire Young Man.

A Philadelphia lady dropped in unex- pectedly on a friend for luncheon the other day and brought with her an in- quiring young man of 9. It seems this child has mania for Investigating the former condition of all eatables before they have passed into the cooks hands. Imagine the horror of the guest and hostess when the hash, which necessity made part of the menu, was brought on to see that child fasten his eyes upon it and, in tho interests of culinary science, loudly ask, Mamma, what was that when it was alive?'-Exchange.

Cellulose is of great value, it is said as material for rendering ships water tight after perfora tion by shot It is light, weighing only one-eighth as much as water, and is not liable to be de- stroyed by animal or vegetable enc mics, no worm or fungus being known to attack it. It is applied by building against the ships hull coffer-dam of briquettes made of compressed cellu- lose placed inside covering of water proof material

ONE THING LEFT OUT.

In acrobatic, gymnastic and athletic training one thing seems to be entirely left out; thing which, if practiced, might pre- vent many serious consequences and thereby become the useful part of training. How to fall down easily and gracefully, with the least amount of resistance by the muscles, might be made fine art. Why not adopt slide and practice feet-slipping with these objects in view. Everybody knows that at this season the worst injuries result from not knowing how to fall. There seems to be nearly always complication ofinjury in every fall, such as sprain, bruise and often broken limbs. It is true that for all these mishaps, either separately or in compli- cated form, and especially for sprains, St. Jacobs Oil is the best known and surest cure. Speaking of sprains. the very worst often result from falls, because the muscles sustain such violent twists from resistance. But whether there is practice of the art or not, the great remedy for pain is sure to cure.

Annual School Election.

The annual school election for this
district will be held next Wednesday.
and it behooves all those interested in
maintaining our schools at their pres
ent standard of excellence to be on
hand to see that no backward step is
taken. 1t takes years of patient effort
to ges schools in working order. and
when they are once well organized
they should be jealousy guarded, as
mistake in policy might in one yea,
destroy the results of years of careful
effort. All of the people in our city
who feel an interest in the education
of the rising generation should attend
the school meeting. 1t is not ques-
ton of who shall teach or who shall
be elected to Office. but question of
maintaining the high standard of the
schools. SO come to the schO | Ell :
ing and do your part. Do not sta,
