Crawford is "a relic of long ago;
around its barren ruins is grouped

Of the once imposing series Of mas

stroyed; they lie in a weed-grown heap
of rocky ruins, like a fallen and neg

walls were fast falling to decay, but
the deep narrow windows and the bat

OLD JOE, THE NIGHT WRToHMAN
lFrom the Pall Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late
on a dneaTy winters night has our
sympathy gone out to the poor old
hight-Watchman as he sat huddled up
owe his cage fire. overlooking the eex-
cavations which our city council in
their wisdom or otherwise. allow the
different water companies to make so
frequently IN our eongested streets.
In all Weathers and under all climatic
conditions, the poor old night-wateh-
man is Obliged to keep watch over tho
companies property, and to see thai
the red lights are kept burning. What
a life, 10 be sure; what privations and
h%ardships; no wonder they have aches
and pains. which nothing but St. ia
cob's OIL can alleviate.
"Old Joe" Is in the employ OF the
Lambeth Water Works, and is we'll
and favOrably known. He has been a
nlght-watchman for many years, In
the course Of which he has undergone
many experiences. What with wet and
cold, he contracted rheumatism and sci
atica, which fairly doubled him up, and
Il began to look a serious matter for old
Joe whether he would much longer be
able to perform his duties, on which
his good wife and himself depended
for a livelihood; but as It happened, a
passerby, who had for some nights no
ticed Old Joe's painful condition. pre-
scented him with a bottle Of st. Jacobs
OIL, and told him to use IL. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and babe his
wife rub his aching back with the St.
Jacobs OIL "a gentleman gave him. "
and undoubtedly his wife did rub, for
whom old Joe went on duty at night he
met his friend n b~enefactor, to
whom he remarked: Them Oils you
gave me. Guv'nor. did give me a doing;
they was like pins and needles for a
Time, but look at me now, and old
Joe began to run and jump about like a
young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been tell
Ing everybody he met what st. Jacobs
OIL had done for him. Old Joe says
now no has but one ambition la life,
and that Is to always to be able to
keep a bottle Of ST. Jacobs OIL by him
for he says there is nothing like It in
the world.
81. Jacobs OIL serves the rich and
the poor, high and low the same way.
It has conquered pain for nifty years,
and It win do the same to the end Of
Time. Il has no equal. consequently
20 competitor; Il has many cheap imi-
l%ations, but simple facts like the above
tell an honest tale with which moth

Lieut. Col. Piequart toward Dreyfus

profoundly stirred by the remark Of
Of Dreyfus' friends that he could
not live on the 'afaire' for the rest Of
