ALMOST A MIRACLE
THE WONDERFUL DISCOVERY OF
A MINNESOTA MAN.

Around Like a Snake.

While the story of the wonderful re-
covery of John Hunter in the little
town of Chico, Calf, from paralysis
and locomotor ataxia is still fresh in
the minds of everyone, an account of
another equally remarkable and some
what similar case comes from Mime
sofa.
Near Mortified, Mimi, lives P. A.
OBrlen, known to everybody round
about the town. In the fall of 1900 he
was Obliged to give up work, because
of a disease which one of the physi-
clans who attended him called locomo-
tor ataxia and another paralysis. He
suffered for more than three years and,
for part of the time, lay In harness
by the doctors direction. He grew
worse, and the physicians pronounced
him incurable. But at last, like mir
acle, came his cure Let him tell the
story:
1T had been coming on slowly for
eight years." he says. "a cold numb
ness commenced in my feet and worked
upwards. 1t grew worse, and, in No
vember, 1900, had to quit work The
disease bent me over, and, when l at
tempted to straighten up, it felt as if
someone was cutting me in the pit of
the stomach with knife. I always felt
tired and could not rest at night, my
feet felt as if there were needles stick
ing in them and my legs got SO numb
that l. could stick pins in them and
never feel it. They wotld shake SO
sometimes that could not hold them
still with both hands.
Then l got SO that l could not walk
and | had to pull myself around like
a snake. When l got excited oay heart
would palpitate and I-would choke up
My kidneys also became affected and
caused me much pain"
Didn't the doctors help you?" was
asked.
mo. One of them had me on my
bed in a harness for several months,
but that did me no good. They tried
various things, and at last said I could
not be cured
II began taking DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The first box
! stopped my pain so l could sleep good.

consists in the appearance on the altar Of

outsiders generally attribute to some
clever trick. Upon the appearance of this
fire the most violent sort of an orgy in

day for receipts at the Union stock

stock to the market. The total value Of

will then stay a year here together, md
again have each year in England, ana
so on regularly. From the end of this
two years / shall draw half the income
of this estate, and you will take the other
half between you, to invest or use as you
may think fit. At the end of six years
calculate that the estate will be stocked
with as 11any cattle and sheep as 1t can
support. Fifteen thousand cattle, say,
and thirty thousand sheep. You will then
sell all your annual increase and the
profits will be greater every year. AT
the end of ten years from this time, II, as
l think probable, you will have mad
enough of this life, we will sell the es-
tate. BY that time it will be the center
of a popp'ous district, the land will be
greatly increased in value, and will be
equal to any in the country-so much So,
indeed, that it will probably be out of the
question to find a purchaser for the
whole. We could therefore break it up
to suit purchasers, dividing it into lots
of one, two, three or four square miles,
or a square league, and dividing the stock
in proportion The house would, Of course,
go with the arabic land and mile or two
of pasture beyond it. My share of the
yearly income 1 shall devote to buying

ten years. You will consequently, boys,
at the age of thirty-one and thlrty-tWo,
be able to settle down in England IN
very comfortable circumstances. Your
sisters will, of course, be provided for out
of my share. Do you approve of my
plans?'
The boys warmly expressed their salts
faction at the plan, and their gratitude
to their father for his intentions.
And so things were carried out.
Six months after Mr.. Hardy's arrival
in England, the boys heard of Mauds
marriage to Mr.. Cooper. Charley, during
his first visit to England, also married.
an example which Hubert followed the
next year.
The two now took it by turn to man
age the estate-the one in England al
ways passing a considerable portion of
his time at Mr.. Hardy's, and spending
the rest in travelling.
Ethel was married the year after HUI
bert to a rising barrister in London.
Hubert lives in London. His income is
sufficient for his wants, he has become
q member of number of scientific Socle-
ties and his collection of the fauna of

be unequaled.
The girls are very happy with the men
of their choice; and Mr.. and Mrs. Hardy
have always some of their children or

often amuse the young ones with tales of
how their fathers or mothers fought the

the phraseology which would be most in
telligible to the Indians:
"Tawaina is great chief; he has spok-
en- wisely. The little White Bird has
sung in the white chiefs ear that he
stood by her side when bad Indians
would have hurt her. The bad Indians
are dead. The Great Spirit frowned up
on them. The white chief has no quar-
rel with Tawaina and his friends. Let
there be peace"
A general expression of satisfaction
pervaded both parties when it was known
that peace was arranged; and one of each
| side hurrying back with the news, the
rest went into the village, where, sitting
down before the principal hut, the pipe of
peace was solemnly smoked.
| The two parties then mingled amicably,
mutually pleased at the termination to
the hostilities; and no one would have
guessed that few hours before they had
met in deadly strife. Mr.. Hardy advanc-

carbines in his hand.
''Tawaina is a great chief" he said.
''He has a great heart, and stood by the
side of the little White Bird. But he has
not a good rife. The white chief gives
him rifle which will shoot many times.
Let him promise that he will never use
it in fight against the white men,"
This gift Tawaina received with great
| pleasure, and readily gave the required
| promise, adding, on behalf of his tribe,
| that the Ratchet which was buried should
never again be dug up against the whites.

FIGHT OVER CHRIST'S TOMB.

Engage in Oiious Feud.
In the place of all places on earth
where peace and good will might be ex-
pected to reign undisturbed a fierce bat
tie in which five men were dangerously
wounded has recently taken place. The
scene of this struggle was the Church Of
the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem, which
is built on the site of the supposed tomb
of Christ, and the combatants were mem
bers of the Greek and Latin churches.
The immediate cause of the trouble
was an attempt by the Latins to sweep
the Quadrangle" or court, around the
church itself. This is. Of course, holy
ground, and the privilege of keeping 1t
clearly swept has for years been claimed
and defended jealousy by the Greek
church.
The Church Of the Sepulcher itself Is
looked after by a vicar custodian-who,
by the way, was one Of those injured in
the recent battle-and a few assistants
appointed by the Turkish government,

FIGHTING THE "CHILLY DEATH
Cholera Filled the Hearts of the East
Indians with Terror.

| Cholera Filled the Hearts of the East
Indians with Terror.
Cholera is not a cheerful subject; yet
Hugh Clifford, in his recent article, In
the Days of the Chilly Death,
name given to the dread scourge Of the
East by the Malays,--is able to tighten
the gloom Of a gruesome picture by
touches not devoid of comedy. The
natives were hidden, as first and most
important precaution, to boil the water
before drinking it.
Perhaps it is not astonishing that, in
their simplicity, they understood that
they were to drink boiled water, and
drink it boiling; and water ''still dane
ing from the kettle" they duteousIy at
tempted to pour down the throat of the
next man who was Ill! Corrected on
this point, they followed directions for
short time, and then it was found
that they had suddenly ceased to boil
the water at all. Their chief, who had
seen the English doctor apply hot bricks
to the stomach of a cholera patient,
had concluded that boiling the water
was not necessary, since they had taken
other and better precautions.
Daily, Tuan,'' he said to the despair
ing white man, who saw no way to
combat such stupidity, daily 1 cause
heated brick to be dropped into my
we'll, and that, thou hast taught US, is a
sure remedy, having much virtue to
rout the demon Of the Chilly Death"
A village high priest won fame and
assumed credit for the saving of many
lives through prescribing the use Of
tar and sulphur, literally applied. He
observed that the white doctors caused
these substances to be daubed upon the
wooden piles upon which the native
houses are built, and failed to recog-
nize the difference between disinfect
ant and remedy; so when the cholera
next seized one of his friends, the pa
tent was smeared with tar and sulphur
late" says Mr.. Clifford she does not
die, and many others undergo the same
treatment before the white men learn
Of it, and succeed in directing the high
priests energies upon more useful
lines.''
And all the time, while his subjects
sickened and died, and the English
were battling manfully to save life, the
native king had retired in panic to
safe and secluded spot. There, clothed
in a green jacket covered with scrolls
from the Koran and loaded with
charms and amulets, he covered in ter
ror, pleading agony of mind as an ex-
cuse to shirk all business, and sending
to the British resident frantic and re-
iterated messages entreating the ban
ishment from the country of certain
ladies who he declares were witches,
and responsible for the coming of the
cholera.
They were not banished, and their
presence, after the long-delayed, long
prayed-for rains had fallen, did not him
der the disappearance of the "Chilly
Death"
