favorable and the prediction was freely

Davis 10 q good rider, the movement was
80 quick and unexpected that he was
thrown from his Saddle and struck the
pavement with his head and shoulders.
He was picked up unconscious and 1t
was ae first thought his neck had been
broken; but an examination revealed
that this was not the case. When he
came to his senses he was found partially
paralysed.
In telling the story, Mr.. Davis said to
the reporter Of the Manistee Times: 1T
was three days and nights after the &C.
cident before I came to know anyone,
and then found my left side was par.
alyzed. could not move even a finger
or toe on my left side and my left eye
was affected. A doctor treated me for

Mr.. Davis is marine engineer on the
tug Stevens and, although the accident
took place eleven years ago, he has not
had touch Of the complaint since his
marvellous cure by DR.. Williams Pink

WHAT'S YOUR NAME.

When boy, the great French
author Alphonse Daudet was very
poor, but he was allowed to attend.
without paying any fees, a school in
which the majority of the pupils were
the sons Of rich men. His appearance
at the school, dressed in a blouse.
which only the very poor wore, was
the occasion of many taunts and jeers
from his school fellows, and even the
master never called him by his name,
but addressed him as whats your
name" says the American Boy. But
the boy never needed the i'll will nor
the sneers; he determined that he
would make something of himself.
saying, "If I am to take any position
in this school l must work twice as
hard as the others" By steadfsst
persistency and courageous determin-
alton, he did succeed, and when his
lame had become famous he wrote a
story in memory of those days OF
hardship and poverty, and called it
Little What's-His-Name.
