A severe blow fell upon the home of
Mr.. ]. Albert Wallace, when death
called the loving wife and mother.
For days and weeks she had been a pa
tient sufferer, never complaining and
always wearing a smile for those about
her who so tenderly ministered to her
every wish. All that medical skill
could do TO conquer disease was
brought TO bear to preserve her to her
family and friends. but il availed moth
ing and death came at the closing of
the day to bring rest to the body Of a
weary sufferer. In other years at holi-
day time there had been joy and glad
ness in the Wallace home. The moth
er had told over and over again to
the children at her knee the beautiful
story of the Christmas cheer. There
was no other thought in her mind then
the happiness Of her darlings, and
on Christmas eve their little stockings
were filed with gifts to gladden. their
childish hearts. How happy father.

their home aud what affection thers

coming has shut ont the sunlight.
The mothers lifeless form and tbs
thought of her presence having beer

I have Just heard, says q writer on
health. q doctor who told one Of his
pst5ents who was suffering from stom-
sch trouble due to the ice water habit
% eat everything he pleased, and that he
would give him some medicine to di-
gsst It. This Is typical of prevailing
notion-nsmely, that we can sin against
nature unrestrained and then get absolu-
ton BY swallowing few pills, etc. Ii
& any wonder that so many of US are
physical wrecks. or that we feel as lost
without our bottle of medicine as Mrs
Camp would have been without her con.

SCARE PRICES.

II Washington hotelmen persist in
adding to their already high rate on
account Of the coming inaugural cere-
monies they will no doubt succeed in
killing the goose that lays the golden
egg There are thousands of persons
who have been planning to witness the
innuguration OF President Roosevelt,
but they have learned that in addition
70 the other expenses Of the trip the
minimum hotel rates are to be $4C
each There is no better way to keer
down the attendance from all parts OF
the country than TO infiict scarce prices
upon the visitors 1t has been sug-
gssted that II the inaugural committee
desires to encourage attendance from
other parts of the country it should
devote some energy to induce the no
tels to refrain from driving people
away by exorbitant rates
