Good Stories.

The new congressman from the 4th
Maine district, Llewellyn Powers, eX-
governor of the state, and one OF Names
most notable political figures, believes
that he has a son who is true chip OF
the old block. A little while ago he took
this boy, a seven.year-old, away on a
trip with him. At the hotel one day the
youngster was busy with letter, and
when he left the room for little while
the congressman with patetnal curiosity
glanced at the missive that lay on the
table. The letter was addressed to a
boy chum in Houlton, Mr.. Powers
home, and wound up in this way; How
are political matters there at home? If
anything turns up do not fail to wire me
at once New York Tribune.
Representative Frank Marion Eddy
of Minnesota is universally conceded to
be the homeliest man in either branch OF
congress. During his last campaign his
democratic opponent started report
that he was treacherous and tWo-taced
in his dealings with the people OF Mime
sofa. When confronted with the charge
that he was "two-faced," he disposed OF
the allegation by saying; Fellow cltl-
zens, l am accused of being twO-taced
Now | appeal to you. Do you imagine
that if had another face l would carry
this one around with me on a stumpng
tour?" Shouts of laughter followed
and later he was reelected by an in
creased majority.

Hid His WhiD.

The late Lord Queensberry's famous
protest at the performance Of Tenny-
sons promise of May" had a quaint
sequel. A society journal, now deceased,
made some scathing comments on the
incident.
Lord Queensberry armed himself
with a heavy whip and called at the
office, asking to see the editor. He was
conducted to the presence Of an elderly
woman, who regarded him severely
through her spectacles.
Remembering the "Queensberry
rules" he hid the horsewhip and mere
" remarked that he had called to talk
the matter over.

A PINK BOOKLET
And What Came from One WO.
mans Reading 1t.

A woman in Rome, N. Y, Mrs. W. 7.
Clark, was cured of stomach trouble and
nervousness by certain medicine and
gave the manufacturers permission to
use her statement recommending the
preparation. This was published in
booklet and thrown around at the doors.
Now Mrs. William Metot, also of Rome,
was ailing, and, happening to read the
book. came across the description of Mrs.
Clark's case. In some respects their
symptoms were similar, SO she went to
Mrs. Clark's house at No. 318 West
Thomas street, and asked her about it.
Mrs. Metot tells the story as follows:
81 had been miserable for long time,
suffering with the troubles which como
with the turn Of life. 1t made me sick
to my stomach, 1 had smothering spells
every once in q while and, if 1 walked
any distance, my limbs felt like sticks.
Ny head felt just as if was going to
be crazy and with it all was afflicted
with nervousness and heart trouble. l
felt so bad that 1 did not see anything to
live for.
"I went to doctor but he didn't do
me much good and so was pretty well
discouraged. Then I saw in booklet
that was thrown around, how Mrs.
Clark was cured. I went to see her and
upon her recommendation went that
very day and got some of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People.
81 felt better before the first box was
all taken and continued using them until
1 was well. My husband is sick and IS
going to take them and so is my sister.
1 have recommended DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People to many people and
will continue to do so for l know what
they will do from my own experience"
Mrs. Metot lives at No. 426 w. Bloom
field street, Rome, N. Y. Her state
ment is another proof of the well de-
served popularity Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Among the many
diseases they have cured are locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after-effects of the grip
palpitation of the heart, pale and salloW
compilations, and all forms Of weakness
either in male or female. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by al
dealers or will be sent postpaid on
receipt of price, fifty cents toX; or ST.
boxes for two dollars and a half, by adj
dressing DIR. Williams Medicine Oo'

St, Pierre.

On brilliant sunny Martinique, that lovely
southern isle,
Where everything seemed peaceful meath ma
lures sunny smile,
The birds were singing blithely at the break
ing of the dawn,
None thought of the awful doom to come,
before another morn.
And in the streets of st. Pierre, on pleasure
and business bent,
Back and forth in ceaseless flow, the stream
of people went,
Not one did think of the harvest of DEATH
that was so soon to be,
Thirty thousand souls in moment S Dreath
swept into eternity.
The sun was shining brightly, no warning of
Came to that ill-starred city until it was too
late,
When with cries OF pain and horror, the
stricken people fed,
But soon were living in the streets in the
lava's molten bed.
For from the top of Mount Pelee, there burst
fiery cloud,
And wrapt the city all around, in a deathly
sulphur shroud,
The sea Teceded from the shore, the tlual
wave ran in,
But all that was left of st. Pierre, were ruins
black and grim.
On the WdlGIS vi IuC udlbOl' tAlS 1'5A'J
modern ships,
Were tossed about like cockleshells or burnt
like finder chips,
The sailors fed the burning decks, to leap
into the foam,
Praying for help that never came, praying
for those at home.
For in the history of the world, and of Pom,
peii old
A story so full Of horror, has never before
been told,
And let those who have read OF this horror,
offer up heartfelt prayer,
For those who fled, for the souls of the dead
in the city of st. Pierre.
