pie who are now in their graves would be
alive and well to-day if they had needed
the first warnings of those troubles which
lead to consumption and death.
The hacking cough, splitting of blood,
weak lungs, and all similar troubles of the
organs of breathing, will surely lead to
consumption, if they are not already the
signs of it. Then there are the other indi-
cations of the approach of consumption,
such as night-sweats, emaciation, or vast
ing away of flesh from bad nutrition, which,
if neglected, lead to certain death.
N~iuety-eight per cent. of all the cases of
weak lungs, bleeding lungs, lingering and
obstinate coughs, and other bronchial and
throat diseases, which lave been treated
with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
ery, have been cured by it. Do not wait

THE LITTLE CURATE

The curate and Miss Edmiston were
walking down the main street of the
village engaged in conversation, which,
being that of a recently affianced pair,
need not here be repeated.
Miss Edmiston carried herself with
an air of pretty dignity, made none the
less apparent by the fact that she was
fully two inches taller than her lover.
the Rev. John st. John. He was a thin.
why little man, dark haired and pale
complexioned. and was much troubled
in his daily walk with a certain uncon-
querable shyness. That he should have
won the heart of handsome Nancy Ed
mission was a matter for surprise and
discussion among the residents in Brox-
bourne.
''Such a very uninteresting young
mani" said the maiden ladies over their
afternoon tea.

the mothers whose daughters assisted in
giving women an overwhelming and
not altogether united majority in Brox-
bourne society.
The men. on the other hand, voted
st. John a good sort, and his parish
toner's, in their rough ways. owned to
his many qualities.
"You're a dear little girl, Nancy
the curate was stammering, looking up
at his beloved. when they were both

A burly workman was engaged in chas-
Using a small boy with a weapon in
the shape of a stout leather belt. The
child screamed, and the father pre-
sumably cursed.
"Stopf'' cried the curate.
The angry man merely scowled and
raised the strap for another blow. ST
John laid a OBTAINING hand on the fell
low s arm. the temerity of which caused
the latter such surprise that he loosened
his grip for a moment. and the young
ster fed bowling up an alley.
"What the spluttered the bully,
dancing round the curate, who seemed
to shrink nearer to his sweetheart.
"Let us go, dear" he said. He had
grown white and was trembling.
At this juncture two of the work
mans cronies appeared at the door of
the alehouse opposite and, seeing how
matters stood. crossed the road and.
with rough hands and soothing curses,
conducted their furious friend from the
scene.
"Horriblel'' sighed the curate as the
lovers continued their walk.
Miss Edmiston's head was held a
trifie higher. ''If | were a man, " she
said, 81 would have thrashed him. l
would indeed"
"You think | should have punished

but sorely disappointed in her lover. He

But she made no reply.

pause.

In the Tan Root of an oak.

This oak, a good tree of perhaps 300
years growth. was being felled at

called attention to something peculiar
on the tap root On clearing this of soil
we found that the object was a horse
shoe of ancient make. Obviously in
the beginning an acorn must have fall
