A flare from the electric lamp sent a
light over the three keen, intelligent old

sorrow, courage and well fought battles.
Penelope and Urania were what the world
calls "old maids" flowing friends would

had family, home, wealth and ease; now
all these had passed from her. She was
merely book canvasser when ''the firm"
required her services, or stenographer or
proof reader when that sort of work
pressed. Her home was back room in
shabby house, on a dull street in the
sleepy old city; her only relative, brother,
remained. He, alas, was hopelessly insane;

A ESU RRECT ED
CHRISTMAS
BY Elvira Floyd Froemcke

[~YN ONE of those misty, gray evenings
I'M so common to December, a certain
KON street corner was suddenly enliv-
ened by gay whistle, boy, bundle Of
hand-bills and bucket of paste. With
the cold gaze of the electric eye upon him,
the boy plastered bill upon the tall wooden
pole, and then stepped back to gaze admir-
ingly on his work, and to give an extra
dab or two at the loose edges which there
upon clung to their support in approved
artistic style.
Three women were approaching from diff
ferent directions, and, thinking to do .

he whistled very shrilly and quite off the
key, as he slowly picked up his pail to leave.
One old lady stopped and exclaimed, i'm
patiently:
"If you must whistle, why don't you
whistle in tuner"
The boy only laughed good-naturedly,
and took himself off in haste, but the two
women approached utterng little express
sions of surprise and pleasure; for they
were old friends, and at the very moment
of meeting each had been thinking over BY
gone days, when their lives were closely in
terwoven.
''Well, here we are" gayly exclaimed Es-
tella; "three graces in ungraceful attirel
Did you ever hear such fearful whistle as
that boy had? First he took me off my feet

The Might Before Christmas.


Twas the night before Christmas and all
through the house
Everybody was sleeping as still as mouse.
No stockings were hung and no presents
prepared, -.
No Christmas-tree ordered. but nobody
cared;
Or at least no one seemed to be troubling
himself,
No: turkeys we're killed, no mince pies on
the shelf
No bright-berried holly was wreathed on
- the wall,
No mistletoe-bough had been hung in the
hall.
Twas surely the night before Christmas.
and yet
Everyone In the house seemed this fact to
forget.
But this happened in Norway, so nothing
i was wrong,
For their night before Christmas Is Just
six months long.

Look at that old bell ringer as he listens
to the music of the bells on Christmas
morning, and see the tears upon his cheeks
and ask him what it all means, and he will
answer: Jesus" Watch the organist as
he sits at his instrument and bows his head
for moment. Is it any wonder that the
thought rushes over his soul, as an inspira
tion from on high: "Here beneath my fin
gers are thousand voices and never so
willing to speak as on Christmas morning
when the theme of their praise is Jesus"
And if ever ministers of the gospel feel that
their pulpits, however humble, are a
throne, and that their talents are enlisted
as ambassador of king, it is to-day when
they can talk of Jesus. And behold the

A REASON FOR CHRISTMAS

lTyHERE is reason for everything

w everything that succeeds and every
thing that fails. There is a reason for every
peal of laughter, and for every moan of sor-
row. A reason why there are holly wreaths

Grape hangs on the door across the way.
A reason why the midnight cloud that hung

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things whether be.
longing to the animal or vegetable king
dom contain within themselves the germs
of death and decay.
Germs of disease are often generated
within the human system through imper-
feet digestion of food producing various
poisons which scientists have denofiiinated
PtoDtaines A stomach weakened by abuse,
gorged with over eating or over burdened
with hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned, becomes weak
ened and fails to thoroughly digest the
food. heavy, sodden mass is accu1nu-
lated in the stomach to ferment as the first
step in its decay, giving off foul gasses to
distend the stomach, and poison the blood,
until II becomes thin, weak and lacking in
the red corpuscles so necessary to perfect
health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart and the latter organ is also dis
turbed through sym pathy, the same system
of nerves being distributed to both organs.
Thus palpitation and irregular action of the
heart with its attendant shortness of breath,
result and in time, disease of the heart
itself is established.
The gases and other posons generated
from undigested, fermenting and decay
ing food in the stomach becloud the
brain, causing headaches, and pain i'll the
eyes.
Being absorbed into the blood these poi
sons reach every part and organ of the sys-
tenn. The kidneys are thereby poisoned,
| causing Brights disease and diabetes. Fill
tering through the skin, troublesome skin
| diseases often show themselves.
Every organ and every nerve, depending
as they do for their nourishment and
renewal upon the stomach, weak digestion
shows itself not alone in loss of appetite
and flesh, but also in nervousness, debility,
bad complexion and many other derange
| ments.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edles. Deafness is caused by an in
hammed condition of the mucuos lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumb-
ling sound Of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh

dition of the mucous surfaces.

GONE WEST.

Mrs. Anna M. Holman, who
recently sold her farm in Ayr
township to Jacob w. Mellott, ac-
companied by her son Harvey N.
Holman, and her daughter Miss
Amanda Holman and her neph-
ew Leonard j. Heidi, left on
Tuesday morning, via the Penna
Il II and the Great Northern
Route, for the West, intending to
make their future home at New
Whatcom, Washington. Her old
est son, John, and second son,
viii Holman have been in Wash
ington for several years past and
are doing well there, so that in
stead of Mrs. Holman and her
family going far west among
strangers, they are, in fact, going
to have their own family again
united The best wishes of the
entire community go with them.
Mrs. Holman who, at the
death of her husband, Nicholas
Holman, Jr., was left with a fam
lily of four small children, on q
poor farm and that heavily en-
numbered, has raised her family
and given them a fair education,
paid the debts on, and greatly
improved the farm, and sold it
for about double the amount orig
inally paid for it. She was able
to take with her to her new home
quite a nice sum in cash-all of
which shows what industry,
economy, and honest well direct
ed effort can accomplish.
Leonard j. Heidi, who has
gone with the family of Mrs.
Holman west, is a young man of
enviable reputation and, although
in the line of promotion as bach
elor, is at this time member of
the school board of Ayr township.
Len is one of the most careful
and correct young men known to
| us,
