La Grippe IS a
Terrible Disease.

If your lungs are weak it is likely
to run into consumption. If you have
the slightest trouble with your kidneys
the chances are that Bright's disease
will develop. If your heart is affected
heart failure is pretty sure to follow.
LaGrippe strikes at the weak places in
the body. 1t is more to be dreaded
than smallpox. Nearly as many deaths
can be traced to it as can be traced
to typhoid. Nobody, however strong
he may be, can afford to fool with la
grippe. Quinine won't cure it. You've
got to get at the bottom of the dis
ease.

THREE FISHERS"
The Incident which Moved Kingsley
10 Write the Poem.


Charles Kingsley wrote tho Three
Fishers" as a result OF the many sad
sights be had seen at Clovelly. One
day Of horror in particular lived in his
memory, a day. MS he described IT,,
when the old bay lay darkened with
the gray columns Of the waterspouts,
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale, and the tiny herring
boats fleeing from their nets right for
the breakers, hoping more mercy even
from those iron walls of rock than
from the pitiless bowling waste Of
spray behind them, and that merry
beach beside the town covered with
shrieking women and old men, casting
themselves on the pebbles in fruitlcss
agonies Of prayer as corpse after
corpse swept up at the feet Of wife and
child. till In one case alone single
dawn saw upward Of sixty widows and
orphans weeping over those who had
gone out the night before in the full
ness Of strength and courage" These
scenes lived ever in his mind.
But the Three Fishers" was written
as a result Of one Of the strengest Incl
dents in the stormy career OF tho
preacher-author In 1851 he preached
a sermon in a London church on "ThC
Message Of the Church to the Laborine
Man" At its close the vicar rose and
denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield for
bade Kingsley to preach sgain in hi:
diocese until, having read the sermon
and seen it's author, he withdrew tn,
edict. The same night upon which h'
delivered his discourse Kingsley wen
to his home weary. There had nearly
been a riot in the church. Sick a
heart he retired TO his study. WheT
he reappeared he handed 10 bis family
his immortal song, "as though II were

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
The Famous Case of Besurques I
the Lyons Mail.

The Famous Case of Besurques OF
the Lyons Mail.
The most famous Of all cases Of mis-
taken identity is that Of Lesurques,
charged with the robbery and murder
Of the courier Of the Lyons mail, which
has been so vividly brought home to us
through the dramatic play based upon
II. Lesurques was positively identified
as a man who had travelled by the mail
coach. and he was in due course con-
victed. Yet at the eleventh hour a
woman came into court and declared
his innocence, swearing that the wit
nesses had mistaken him for another,
Duboscq, whom he greatly resembled.
She was the conhdant of one Of the
gang who had planned and carried out
the robbery. But her testimony, al
though corroborated by other confed-
crates, was rejected, and Lesurques re.
ceived sentence Of death. Lesurques
died protesting his innocence to the
last. -Four years elapsed before Du.
boscq was captured. In the interval
others Of the gang had passed through
the hands Of the police, but the prime
mover was only now taken. Even
then he twice escaped from prison
When finally he was put on his tria
and the Judge ordered a fair wig, sucf
as Lesurques had worn, TO be placed
on his head, the strange likeness wal
