lieries in this region. Orders have

idle Fridays and Saturdays.
The Delaware q Hudson COMPANY

cries in this vicinity that the mines
would be worked but five hours a day
until further orders. 1t is said the
Delaware, Lackawanna 81 Western
Company will place its collieries on
three-quarter time. The Reading
Company will also restrict its output
Over 40, 900, 900 tons of coal have
been mined since January 1, which
is several million tons more than was
ever produced for like period in the
history Of the mining industry The
present glut in the market and the
efforts to prevent break in prices is
the cause of the restriction.

SAVED BY HER SISTER.
MISS JENNIE N, LEE WAS DRUGGED
WITH CHLORAL AND MORPHINE.
Was q Victim of HalIucinations
and Was About to Be Sent to
Sanitarium When Her
Sister interviewed.

From the little town of Lowville,
on the line of the Rome, Watertown
and Ogdensburg railroad, in Lewis
county, New YORK, comes a remark
able story which the most careful in
vestigation has shown to be literally
true. 1t is a narrative of deep human
interest, in which an estimable young
lady, suffering from disease and al
most wrecked by powerful drugs, was
kept from sanitarium and her life
and reason saved by hire sisters faith
The young lady is Miss Jennie M.
Lee, of Park avenue, Lowville, N. Y,
and her story is given as she related
it to a reporter at her home few days
ago. 81 suffered for year from ner-
vous debility and an9mia," she said,
"and was confined to my bed a great
part of the time. / was subject to ter
rible Authorizations and was afraid to
close my eyes at night on account Of
the terrifying things 1 seemed to see.

capricious and during the nervous at

other physicians agreed with him that
my case was incurable. They gave
me morphine until it affected my
heart and then administered choral

year when l went to sleep without,the
use of morphine, choral or other drugs

manent. | am now fully restored tC
health, weigh thirty pounds more than
during my illness and have had nc
nervous attacks for over three years.
/ attribute my cure entirely to DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie and am glad to give my endorse
ment to this grand remedy
This case strikingly illustrates the
power of Dr. Williams Pink Pills fol
Pale People to cure so-called hopeless
cases which do not yield to ordinary
medicines. These pills act on botl
the blood and nerves and IN this is thu
secret of their wonderful success
This is the reason why they cure sucl
diseases as rheumatism in all it
forms, apamia, partial paralysis, 10
comotor ataxia and many other dlsor
ders apparently different from eacl
other but springing from common
causes. DR.. Williams Pink Pills TO

GOOD EVENING.

Let me but live my life from year to
year,
With forward face and unreluctant
soul
Not Fastening, nor turning from the
goal,
Nor mourning for the things that dis
appear
In the dim past, nor hiding back in
From what the future wells, but with
whole
And happy heart, chat pays it's toll,
To Youth and Age, and travels on
with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill or
down,
Though rough or smooth, the journey
will be joy;
Still seeking what l sought when but
boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and
crown,
l shall grow old, but never lose life )
zest,
Because the roads last turn will be
the best.

EMBARGO Raised.

Montreal, Sept. 25.-Cattle dealers
here have been advised that the Brit
ish government has removed the en-
barge against cattle from the New
England States which means that the
ports of Boston and Portland may
now ship cattle direct to British CEN
ters This embargo was placed be-
cause of the foot and mouth disease
last November and has been strictly
maintained. This virtually killed
the cattle trade of New England SO
far as foreign shipments were con-
cerned, and Montreal has profited
lavishly in consequence, the ship
ments during the open season this
year being double those for the same
time in 1902.
AS matter of fact the shipments
of cattle from the port between the
opening of navigation last spring and
the present have exceeded by a consid-
cradle quantity the total shipments
from the American ports of New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Newport News. The shipments from
Montreal have in that period been
more than 5000 head of cattle per
week ON an average, while the four
American ports mentioned have not
shipped over 1900 on an average. 1t
is calculated that DO, 500 is the num-
Der of cattle W hich have been divert
ed to esport of Montreal by the rea-
son of che closing of the ports of Bos.

Fairfax is proud as Lucifer. What

"The Duke of Buckingham has been
sent to the Tower-where he ought to
have been sent long ago; but he is
married to the daughter of Fairfax,
and the naughty Lord General went
to see Cromwell about the matter He
met him in the gallery at Whitehall
and asked that the order for Bucking-
hams arrest should be retraced. And
Cromwell told him that If the offense
were only against his own life, the
Duke could go free that hour, but that
he could not pardon plotters against
the Commonwealth 1t grieved him to
the heart to say these words, and
Fairfax saw how i'll and how troubled

cooked his hat, and threw his cloak
