skiff in the Fox river at Appleton and

when they were saved by the Misses

with two pairs of fur boots which
came above my knees, the inner ones
made of the skin of the wild goat, the
outer ones of leather, lined with fur
and having thick soles. Added to
these, my legs were enveloped in a
thick fur cloak. Independent OF my
ordinary clothing I also wore thick
ly wadded greatcoat, and over that
an immense shube, made of the skins
of wolves, while my head was protect
ed by large wadded cap"
In short, they wore all the clothing
that they could move about in, but
even this was insufficient to withstand
the deadly chill.
Thus they went on night and day
to Krasnoyarsk, Tomsl, Ekaterinburg,
Kazan, and finally, on March 18th,
reached Moscow. Not once in all this
prodigous journey of two months had
the traveller been able to lie down in
an ordinary bed. 1t was one constant
forward rush of galloping horses; and
the sledge had been overturned more
times than they could remember.
1t will hardly be thought strange
that Holman's condition on reaching
Moscow was so bad that rest and
proper food were imperatively nee
essary. He had fallen into fever,
and was so shaken that he could
hardly stand. They would not permit
him to see his friends at Moscow un-
less in the presence of the police, OF
allow him to converse in English with
any one.

Veteran Shoots Himself.

John Skarrevota, aged IS years, was
found dead in barn on the premises
Of Anton Wilva in Manitowoc, with
whom he made his home, having COM
mitted suicide by firing bullet into his
brain. He was veteran of the Span
ish-American war and had been separat-
ed from his family for twenty-six years.
Three years ago, at the time Of his
brothers death, he learned the where
abouts of his two sisters, after twenty
four years. They reside in Montana. As
result the property Of his dead brother
was divided between the three, and this
fact preyed upon his mind.

TWO STEPS.
The Last one Helps the First.

A sick coffee drinker must take two.
steps to be rid of his troubles and get
strong and well again.
The first is to cut of coffee abso--
lutely.
That remove the destroying ele-
ment. The next step is to take liquid
food (and that is Postum Food Coffee
that has in 1t the elements nature re-
quires to change the blood corpuscles
from pale pink or white to rich red,.
and good red blood builds good strong
and healthy cells in place of the
broken down cells destroyed by coffee.
With we'll boiled Postum Food Cores,
to shift to, both these steps r easy
and pleasant. The experience of a.
Georgian proves how important both
are.
From 1872 to the year 1900 my wife.

or nervous headache and at times we.
suffered untold agony, We were coffee
