for Pale People are the best remedy for
women to take during the turn of life to keep
them in health and to pass that age ip safety
When woman is passing beyond that age it
is crisis in her life. Then, if ever, proper
attention to hygiene should be exercised.
The attendant sufferings will disappear and
buoyant health will follow, if DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are used.
These pills exert a powerful influence in
restoring the system to its proper condition.
They contain in condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood. Consequently many kinds
of diseases are cured, as nearly all, are the
result of an impoverished condition of the
blood. Druggists consider these pills to be
the most effective and best selling ones on the
market.

The Wonderful Artistic Feats Per-
formed by jeanne Koetren.
More than 900 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland,
whose name was jeanne Koetren She
was peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport,
but found her greatest delight in MAX
ing copies of things about her, initial
ing in wax every kind Of fruit and
making on silk, with colored floss, ex-
act copies of paintings, which were
thought wonderful.
But after she had become very ac-
complished in music, spinning and en-
lbroidery. she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
Rae views, flowers, animals and por-
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for time quite the
wonder OF Europe. She used white pa
pers for her cuttings, placing them over
a black surface so that the minute
openings made by her scissors formed
the light and shade. 2

Of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress of Germany paid her 1000
forms for trophy she had cut, bearing
the arms of Emperor Leopold, crowned
with eagles and surrounded by gar
land Of flowers. She also cut the en-
peror's portrait, which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A
great many people went to see her, and
she kept a book in which princes and
princesses wrote their names
After she died, which was when she
had lived So years, her husband, Adrian
Block, erected monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits of these titled visitors. Her
cuttings were so correct in effect and SO
tasteful as to give both dignity and
value to her work and constitute her an
artist whose exquisite skill with the
scissors has never before or since been
equaled. Lewiston Journal

The game was played at the time OF

John Duff of Boston. Doubleday was
selling the stock short through Van

from his brokers advising him of the
situation. The game was stopped just
long enough for him to read it and lay
it aside. In 30 minutes I second dis

SCOTCH SIMPLICITY.

The Mason, the Budding Architect
and a Conscience Stricken Lad.
The Scotch are fond of telling stories
which illustrate the peculiar simplicity
Of mind of their country people. This
simplicity at least saves them from
wicked guile.
One Of these stories relates that an
honest mason once had a contract to
build a small house Of stone, He came
early and began from the inside to lay
the stone, working very fast. At noon
his young son brought him his dinner,
peeping over the wall as he handed the
basket to his father With honest pride
infhis eye, the mason looked over to the
boy.
sWeel, Jock, hoo dye think I'm
gettin ONT" he asked.
"Ye're getting on famous, feyther, 2
answered Jock, looking at the solid
wall, in which there was no break.
"But hoo dye get cot p
The mason looked around. 1t was
true. He had provided the house with
no door at all, and he was on the inside.
He looked kindly and very admiringly
at the boy.
'sMon, Jock, we've grand held on
yet" he exclaimed. "Ye'll be an archi-
tect yet, as sure as yer feyther's a MAJ
son!''
/ Another story shows how unsuccess-
full as thief the rustic Scot may be.
Two young plowmen went into a gar
den at night to steal gooseberries The
bushes surrounded plot of potatoes,
and as one of the lads CROPPED about he
got handful of potato plums, which
he quickly put into his mouth. Then he
gasped to his comrade:
