herself only just awakened. She played

AUTHORS AS GOOD WALKERS.
William and Mary Hewitt, the Widely
Known Writers.

william and Mary Hewitt, the Widely
Known Writers.
It ia said that the best footmates OF
the nineteenth century were William
and Mary Hewitt, the writer's OF SO
many charming bits Of literature. They
began to walk on their wedding day,
and kept on walking during nearly six
ty years of married life.
In 1924, when walking was far from
fashionable, this sturdy Quaker pair
walked 500 miles among the Scotch
mountains, carrying necessary luggage
on their strong young backs. They
climbed Ben Lomond, waded streams,
crawled over boys, scrambled through
bracken, and slid down sheer defiles In
the course of this wild tramp. Doubt
less the peasants fancied they were
mad.
In the fifty-frst year of their married
life, when Mrs. Hewitt was over 20 and
her husband almost so, they started
out one summer morning to climb an
Alp of the Tyrol. From the village OF
Taufers they climbed a road too steep
for vehicles, walking steadily for fve
tours.
At dusk they came to a farmers
chalet; there they were cordially invit-
ed to supper, and there for two nights
they slept on the sweet, fresh hay In the
barn, and employed the days In twice
climbing to the mountain top.
An excursion which had been planned
for William Howitt's birthday. after he
had passed his eightieth year, was re-
luctantly abandoned because of the
rain. A year or two later his wife
wrote:
Father and have just come in from
a pleasant walk right into the country,
amongst picturesque houses and such
ancient orchards and parklike fields
scattered over with grand old Spanish
chestnuts."
Mr.. Hewitt died in 1879, aged "a
years. For a few years more his faith
full footmate took quiet strolls and
gathered the flowers her husband loved.
And when she had lived to see eighty
nine years she gently fell asleep

He Became Free From
Disease.

A recommendation that is not based
upon experience Is without value but
in the following interview the reader
will at once recognize the force OF ad-
vice that is the result Of personal
knowledge.
Mr.. Ned Yerkes Hawley is travel

Boon Ave., Spokane, Wash. He has
recently had an experience of more
tnan general interest and in an in

said:
"In June, 1899, l became bilious and
subject to dizzy spells. l had no ap'
petite, my heart seemed to flutter at
times and beat irregularly, and dark
spots seemed to float before my eyes,
This continued for about six months
During that time I was troubled with
lameness in my back and pains over
my kidneys. I was under a physi-
clans care and he told me my trouble
was biliousness and inflammatory
rheumatism. l was in bed for over
four weeks and did not seem to be
getting any better.
Zone day l saw an advertisement in
which it was stated that case SINH.
lar to mine had been cured by Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
procured some of the pills and with
in two weeks the inflammatory rheu'
matism which had become very &C.
cute and caused me the most intense
suffering, was entirely cured.
"You will therefore realize that

SO sure that they will prove equally
valuable in other cases that l have
recommended them to great many
people,"
