"A Juvenile Story for Memorial
Day.

O0Js
There was a regular houseful Of
Dawsons in the little. low, red house
which stood all by itself on the edge
of the village; there were six children
who called the little house their home,
and six noisier, happier, heartier chill
dren were never known. There were
the twins, Fred and Frank, who head
ed the list, and then there were Grace
and Nellie and Harry, and last of all
came Minnie, the baby, the tiniest and
noisiest Of them all.
There were great plans afoot today
in the curly heads of the merry crowd.
Tomorrow would be Decoration Day,
and were not the four oldest Of the
young Dawsons to march in the long
procession of school children and carry
garlands and bouquets Of flowers to
strew on the graves of our soldier
heroes? There were the flowers to
hunt In the woods, for the Dawson
flower garden showed only two flaming
red and yellow tulips and a few fra
grant lilacs as its offering to the chill
dren. But that fact troubled them not
at all; they were only too glad Of an
excuse for spending long, delightful
day In the woods. There would be the
garlands to make and bouquets to ar
range and pieces" to rehearse and a
thousand and one other things to dr.
so 1t was no wonder that all the little
Dawsons were up and flying around as
busy as bees at an exceedingly early
hour. Even the baby was interested,
and tOddled around tipping over every
thing she could and getting into
everyone's way.
So much hustle and hustle made
them little bit cross, perhaps, and so
1t turned out that there was q slight
disagreement between Grace and Nell
lie and the twins early in the morn
flames, in the shape of sharp words
and angry frowns, by the time they
were ready to start for the woods the
quarrel had grown to be something
serious. The boys had been very pro-
voking, and the girls were SO angry
with them that they decided to take
the lunch basket and hurry away
when the boys were not looking, and
thus take revenge upon them for all
the mean things they had said and
done that morning. Their plan worked
to perfection and they got safely away
without being seen by anyone; but.
someway, they did not look very
happy in their triumph, Is they
;truqeed silently along. They walked
quite slowly "a soon as they once were
out Of sight Of the house. instead Of

WHAT WE HEAR FROM
ASSINIBOIA. WESTERN CANADA,
"Don't rs'nk Of Coming. but Como"

Don't THINK OF Coming but Come"
To the Editor: The above is the en-
phatic manner In which a friend in
Yorkton writes to a friend near st.
Paul, Minnesota, and II is pretty near
ly right, too. with the advantages
that Western Canada offers to those
seeking homes. The Assiniboia dis
trict is one of the best. The writer
rom whose letter we quote goes on to
Jay:
John, II you miss this chance you
are foolish, for you can get out cheap
er when there are so many corning,
and would not tell you to come II
thought you could not do well, and
II you don't come in the spring You
will have to go away back, for you
do not want to think that there Is no
one living out here but us. l saw
nicer buildings out here than l ever
saw before, and If the country was no
good what would they want them for?
John, II you sold everything you have
and came out here you would be worth
more than ever you were before, and
II you can bring your team. You can
get anything you want on tick, and
when they do that with strangers they
are not afraid they can't make enough
to pay for 1t. l saw as nice wheat as
ever saw in my life, and IL they could
not grow grain what would the -four
mill be for, and 1t cost 100000"
Now this was what Mr.. Thomas
Fitzpatrick. of Yorkton, Assiniboia,
Western Canada. wrote to a friend.
There will be opened up this sum-
mer new districts in Saskatchewan
and Assiniboia at low prices, particu-
lars Of which can be had Of any agent
Of the government of the Dominion of
Canada, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere in the columns Of your
paper. Yours truly. An Old Reader.

Raymond had Just been over to the
hall with his basket Of flowers, mostly,
from the woods and fields.
Decoration day always found him on
hand; and although his contribution
was simple, he was glad to be able
to do even little toward furnishing
material for this touching memorial
service.
Raymond was the grandson Of vet
eran of the civil war, and this year he
wanted to do something more than
usual, to let the old friends OF the
grandfather whom he had never
known understand his loyalty, both to
his grandfather's memory and the
country that he had died for.
Suddenly he remembered an old tat
tered flag that stood in corner In
the attic, and beside it musket,
rusty and time-stained. Then he
looked at Rover.
Can you do 1t. Revert" Raymond's
eyes asked the question. The soft
brown eyes of the dog answered, TRY
me-"
"All right, Rover, will"
Rover's tail ceased its impatient tat
too upon the floor, and with a yelp Of
delight he followed his master up the
attic stairs. Half an hour later the
boy and the dog sat side by side upon
the doorstep. The boy held flat
piece of wood in one hand. and his
jack-knife in the other. Occasionally
he lifted a faded nag, and slipped the
end Of the worn stick through a hole
which he was whiting in the new
piece of wood.
At last he sprang to his feet, say
ing, "All ready now, Rover! Do you
think you can hold that in your
MOUTH"
Rovers' eyes said, "Of course I
cant" as his tail gave three excited
thumps. Good, faithful Rover! Ray
mond knew that he could be depend
ed upon to be his color-bearer. Now

WITH BARE HEADS AND SOLEMN
LITTLE BROWN FACES"
for his own part in the program.
The sound of approaching footsteps
and lie beat of drum floated up to
the spot where the boy and the dog
were making ready to honor their
country's fallen heroes.
From window of the cottage pair
of tear-dimmed eyes watched the
strange preparations.
Raymond hastily donned an old SOL
der cap, and shouldered the rusty gun.
i.e hoped that he looked Ike SOL
der. Rover's admiring eyes assured
him that he did.
Now, Rover" said Raymond, pat
ting the dogs head, I'm going to let
you hold the flag"
Rover never was happier than when
he could carry bundle; but this was
such an unexpected privilege that for
a second or two the Flagstaff veered
like a weather-vane with each delight
ed thump of his stub of tail. Then,
seeing his masters motionless attitude,
Rover took pattern; and as the little
company of veterans drew near, the
color bearer and his master attracted
instant attention.
Every man in Company c loved Ray
mand; loved him for his own sake.
for he was a bright and lovable boy,
and also for the sake Of the brave COM
rade who had marched with them
through many weary campaign, and
at last had given his life for his coun-
try.
There was quick order from the
front, and instantly every man lifted
his hat, and the band struck up the
"Star-Spangled Banner" and Ray
mond, with his faithful dog beside
him, and his grandfather's tattered
dag waving in the breeze, was the hero
of the day.-Helen M. Richardson.

A Memorial .Surprise Party.

A Memorial SurpriSe Party.
Alma Maynard sat at The window,
looking thoughtfully out at the newly
budded trees. Poor Alma had been
confined to the house all the spring
with the scarlet fever which had left
her SO weak that at first she could
hardly lift her head, but now that she
was up and her young friends were al
lowed to visit her. she had been wish
ing they would come In a party some
evening. She did not know that at
school that very day her playmates
were planning to surprise her on the
afternoon of Decoration day, which
was the next Wednesday.
The day dawned bright and warm
and about / o'clock that afternoon
Mrs. Nelson said Alma, you had bet
ter 60 and lie down awhile"
So Alma lay down and was soon fast
asleep. At signal from Mrs. Nelson
the children trooped noiselessly from
a neighbours, where they had gathered,
and soon the room adjoining Alma's
was filled with gay lads and lassies,
all bearing sweet spring flowers which
they arranged around the room and
then sat down to wait for Alma to
awake. At last she opened her eyes.
then closed them again, thinking that
the flower-filled room with its gay &C.
cupants was only dream.
Then Viva Leland, Alma's most init
mate friend, came and took her hand
and led her into the room, where the
shout of surprise! surprise! surprised"
met her on all sides. Half dazed. she
looked from one to another. then broke
into a gay laugh in which they all
Joined. The afternoon passed quickly
and pleasantly, and at 6 o'clock they
were called to the dining room for
supper. And such supper! They
were seated in couples around the
table, Alma and Ray Thornton, her IA
vorite chum, presiding at the head.
After supper Alma's father told them
stories; and later they returned to
their homes, leaving the flowers for
their convalescent playmate, and with
them many wishes for speedy return
to health.

The house mother may do much
towards preventing the spread OF tu-
berculosis by insisting that paper
handkerchiefs be used for any ailment
of the eye, ear, nose or throat, when
discharges occur from these organs.
The handkerchiefs should be quickly
burned. Children should be taught
never to use one another's handker-
chiefs any more than they should use
one another's toothbrushes.

where we thought all they did was
against her. She weighed about 100
pounds when she was in good health.
When she commenced with our family
physician In April, 1893, she weighed
about 100, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ca, and
took treatment, but 1t did her no good.
Then she went to Harmony Grove, Ga,
and took treatment from the best ply
stefan there for three months. She
kept going down under his treatment.
although he was considered the best
physician in the county. She went
down from 100 pounds to 68, and We
saw she could not live long. She was
a skeleton. We consulted an old ply
stefan who told her to use Peruna. She
gradually improved and got stronger.
She has gained 38 pounds since she
has taken Peruna, and is gaining ev-
cry day, and does her own housework.
"She was we'll known when she was
so low, and now everybody wants to
know what cured her. She had indiges-
