CURED here recently. The son OF Mr..
G. L. Butler was very Ill. The doc
tor said he had some disease OF the
spinal cord, and treated him for two
months, but he grew worse all the
time, and finally the doctor told Mr.
Butler that he did not know what
was the trouble.
The boy would wake up IN the night
and say that he was dying He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out Of the house. saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much discOur-
aged till one day he saw a new rem

and began TO give them TO his boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be

story:
They were expecting the Oregon
during the Spanish-Americsn war. and
they also expected that she would be

much as a pound Of fuel but one even
ing a Scotsman came 10 his door and
said. You want cOal?' The consul
replied that he never wanted a drink
as badly as he wanted coal at that
moment. The Scotsman had no power
10 sell. but he pointed out that he had
500 tons on board. and said he pitied
the American captain who could not
put his ship alongside. take out the
bags Of coal. and then cut the painter.
II so happened that the Oregon did not

which defied law and order touched

on the fence I saw a placard inviting
travellers to enter and partake Of the
inviting fruit within 1 ate an apple
or two, and then perceived the owner
approaching from his barn.
He was an intelligent young man,
and asked him why he was so gener-
Gus with his apples.

my father was a boy, he had 10 walk.

There was a certain apple orchard
that he came upon. and an apple that
had fallen from one OF the trees lay
in the road He picked it up and was
about TO eat it. But the farmer had
perceived him, and he ordered him to
put the apple back. Ny father obeyed
Of course, but he told the man that he
was mighty mean with mis- fruit. and
he said he would himself. some day
