y
The boar was standing with the foam
flying from his jaws, on piece of level
ground, and after a few short trotting
steps charged Austin, but in doing so
passed directly across Staples path,
giving him splendid chance, which was
not thrown away. He made thrust
with his spear and struck the boar.
At the same moment Austin's spear
struck across his horses chest, and to
avoid coming end on over the boar, he
had to force his nag to jump over it.
This, however, he did not succeed in
doing, and the next moment over they
went, horse and rider, and to our hor-
ror we saw our friend lying on the
ground directly in front of the now en-
ragged and bleding boar, which at once
made furious charge at him.
Had l not been in measure prepared
and close by when this occurred, there
would have been but very poor chance
for Austin; but, fortunately, was just
in time to prevent any such catastro-
phe. Just as the boar had got to
within half dozen feet of him, drove
my spear deep into his side.
This was the gallant boars last
charge. He reeled, sank to his knees,
rolled over, and gasping out his last
sobs, was gathered to his fathers.-N. Y.

FACTS ABOUT GRAPE FRUIT
The First Brought Into This Coun-
try Was the Coarse-Grained
Shaddock.

AS estimable lady lately remarked
that fondness for the grape fruit re-
quired a change of heart and a growth
of grace, both of which she had ex-
perienced in fullest measure. The fact
remains, however says the New York
Times, that without other therapeutic
value than would reside in any citrus
fruit washed down by a draught of
water from one of the absurd quashi
cups which were used generation ago,
and which it was believed by the cred
ulous must be extremely beneficial be-
cause they impaired "the bitter prin-
ciple" to water held in them, and with
natural repugnance to any combina-
ton of acidity and bitterness to over
come, most people like the grape fruit
very much and find it both agreeable
and refreshing for any one of the three
meals of the day. This is not an af-
fectation, Like an alleged preference
for brut wine; nor the liberation of
something invested with superstitious
value as a corrective of morbid condi-
tions. The average person really likes
the grape fruit, and 1t has come to
stay. To raise fine varieties should
become and perhaps is already much
more profitable than the growing Of
fine oranges. It's possibilities are be-
yond estimate.
The first of it's kind brought into this
country was the impossible shaddock-
coarse grained, pumpkin-colored, acrid,
bitter tenacious of its rind, often juice
less and generally a failure from the
point of view of the table for other
than decorative purposes. 1t was short
lived as a commodity admitting of i'm
portation. The grape fruit followed
tentatively and modestly, as If know
ing that it had the reversed prestige
of the shaddock to overcome. 1t was
admired with suspicion, tested accept
ed and then welcomed as an invaluable
addition to the luxuries of the table.
The market now eagerly absorbs at rel
atively high prices all that can be
secured, mourns the off season when
only the reserve in cold storage is
available and welcomes the advance
couriers of each new crop almost as
enthusiastically as the first bale OF
cotton is welcomed on the southern
exchanges.

KEEP A STOUT HEART.

II life's way is dark and rough
It develops all the slough
That misfortune cannot blough
Nor beguile.
Don't despair and weaken, though
E'en adverse winds seem to blough;
Take things easy, rather slough;
Bravely smuile.
IL you feel no longer young,
II your lutte is all unstroung
And the tender songs you soung
Give no sign
That they still can cheer your heart,
Let by chance an echo steart.
Then will some remembered peart
Seem divign.
If whisper you have heard.
II dissensions have occeard,
Breathe no tainted thought or weard
To your friends.
Let no blight of scandal claim
Nigor from your voice or naim,
Nor convey reproach and blaim
To i'll lends.
II misgivings make you doubt
Life is worth its living oubt
You should daily face aboubt
And review;
lnen you may discern tneir Cduse,
Where you sighted fortunes iause
That had proffered all 1t wause
Yours to diew.
Gould religion guard mans soul,
Gid his name on heavens scroul
And depopulate, that houi
Satan rules.
Love and Justice then might reign,
Prove the ways of falsehood veign,
And Hypocrisy remeign
But for fuIes,
If you miss your dearest quest,
Or your troubles give no ruest,
And you fose what you love buest,
You require
True philosophy to learn
That each lesson harsh and stearn
Should engage ones thought to tearn
Somewhat huire.

"I had been teaching in the city

inability to sleep, and had so little

"After my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings of years
for medicines which did me no good"
"How did you get back your health?"
"A bare chance and lot of faith led
me to cure. After I had suffered for
many months, and when was on the
very verge Of despair, I happened to read
an account Of some cures effected by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The state

one box for trial, but purchased si1
boxes at once, and when I had used

REST AND SLEEP.
Advice for the Tired Woman,

EHHE woman of the Office or shop has
more cause than the kousekeepeT
Il TO wear out in days like these.
The housekeeper should find time
for nap; she can get Into loose cloth
ing, while the business woman must tight
Il out until the end Of the days work.
The tired woman comes home from the
Office completely tagged out. She is nerV-
Gus; she finds she cannot rest, she rolls
and tosses through the night, victim OF
insomnia. The housewife, perhaps the
mother OF large family and doing her
own homework, should take some little
leisure In the middle Of the day, II 1t only
be for ten minutes. Slip away from cares
and duties and throw yourself down on
lounge or bed for little while. Try to
relax every muscle until your body feels
heavy Then try and stop thinking; re-
lax your mind: throw. on worry. For
those ten minutes or half an hour, lie
perfectly still. This Is the advice Of the
greatest woman's specialist Of our time,
DIR. r. v. Pierce, founder of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at BuGalo,
N 4. Furthermore, he says. the woman
who is employed in stores or shops. work
