but last night had shewn that he was
self-dcceived Not to Constance. the
good and serious, but to her high spir-
tied and volatile sister Evelyn Were
his real affections drawn. Why had
he not met the latter first?
But could the engagement to Con-
stance honorably continue?
All that day Cecil went about in a
miserable state OF mind. BY the even
ing he had arrived at Il determination.
He must write at once TO Constance,
asking permission to terminate their
engagement 1t was the only right
course to adOpt considering the luke
warm character of his feelings. He
did not think that she would suffer
very much, and anyhow the love af-
fair of Norman and Evelyn would not
be influenced.
Half a dozen lines of the letter were
hardly written before there came a
knock at the door, The servant entered

PERSIA VEL DS
A NINE YEARS VICTIM FINDS A
REMEDY THAT CURES.
For T wo Years Too Weak to Work-A Dozot
Doctors Had Tried TO Check Disease.
Treatment That Succeeded.


All sufferers from weakness or disor-
ders of the digestive organs will read
with lively interest the story of the COM
plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux
from chronic dyspepsia which was
thought to be incurable.
ITO be ailing for nine years is not q
very pleasant experience" said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some account
of her illness. +" For two years 1 was
critically i'll and could not attend to my
household duties, and at one time / was
so weak and miserable that I could not
even walk. My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. / became extremely thin and
had aullow complexion. had no APP

"a book about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
was thrown in our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was SO impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted OH my taking them. :"
"Did they help you at once?"

they cure thoroughly, for Il long time

The surest why to make sound digeS-
tiou is to give strength to the organs con-
ccrned. DR.. Williams Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No other REM
edy yields such radical results.

Exchange: An Alcester preacher
tells this story: Il had occasion one
night to hold Christmas services in a
little town not far from Hawa-den.
The choir was composed of two old
maids and two old bachelors. When
the chorus to the official Chrystmas
hymn was reached the old maids alone
sang, Unto us child's been born.
and the old bachelors followed with
.w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l.'
Then Dan Thomas in the front pew
had to smoker. That settled 1t. The

cause she was his iiancee's sister, but
for her own sake, too When he first
became engaged to Constance, the elder
of the two girls, he had small idea that
he was to acquire so bright and inter-
esling a sister-in- law. Three months
after his own engagement he heard
with great satisfaction that his friend
Norman Payne, had proposed to and
been accepted by Evelyn Payne and
he. planning a double wedding some
day. had drunk the health of one an
others future brides.

4 Pretty Home Weddiaq.

4 very pretty wedding was SOL
e,nnized Wednesday morning, Oct.
18th, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs, E.
Dunlap, when their only daughter,
Gertrude, was united in marriage
to Mr., Geo. A. Wassun,, of Superior,
by Rev. Henry A. Logan, of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
The house was beautifully dec
GRATED with smilax and potted
ferns, and large wedding bell of
green was suspended in the corner
of the drawing room where the GER
enony was performed.
Promptly at 1880, to the strains of
the Lohengrin bridal chorus
played by Miss Nellie Griggs, the
bride entered on the arm of her
father, preceded by Master Verne
Dunlap as ring-bearer and little
Grace Mclean as flower girl. Miss
J. o. Ward, of Memphis, Tenn, was
bridesmaid and the groom was
supported by w. A. Batcheller, of
Superior.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in dress of ecru silk aeolean over
champagne colored taffeta with a
transparent yoke of heavy lace and
wore large picture hat. She car
ried handsome boquet of yellow
carnations. The bridesmaid wore
a gown of pale blue albatross and
carried pink roses.
After sumptuous wedding
breakfast, at which Misses Nellie
Griggs, Susan Pratt and Anna Nc
Lean served, the happy couple left
on the 12:55 train for Chicago; fol-
lowed by showers of rice, old shoes
and best wishes of their many
friends. Among the guests pres
ent were Misses Susan Pratt, Hazel
Cathcart, Nellie Griggs, Anna Nc
Lean, ]. 0. Ward, Lianda Beach,
Anda Stech, Grace Mclean, Messrs.

At the Auditorium, Toniaht.

"rhe Grand Canyon of Arizona"
is the title of the illustrated lecture
to be delivered at the auditorium of
the Roosevelt High School this
evening by Hon. Nat. Brigha M, of
Chicago. This lecture has been
considered Mr.. Brigham's master
piece. 1t is unlike any other des-
criptive lecture ever presented to
the American public, describing in
vivid manner the magnificent
grandeur of one of the wonderful
beauty spots with which nature
has so bountifully endowed the
west. The lecture is superbly H.
Illustrated with beautiful colored
views. It is lecture for busy peo-
ple-for people who read and have
no time to travel, for people who
travel and have no time to read, for
the business man, the miner, the
mechanic, for everybody.
This lecture is the first of the
course of Midland Lyceum Bureau
entertainments at the Auditorium

WORK on MILL COMMENCED.
Foundation for Lath ,MiII De;as Pvt
IN, and Bio Mill Assured.

Ground was broken the first Of
the week for the big 1ath mill of the
Virginia Lumber Co. and work on
the structure will be pushed ais
rapidly as possible. The location
of the new plant is on the site of
the former Moon & Kerr mill at the
south end of Silver Lake, and the
erection of another big saw mill is
also practically assured.
The lath mill will comprise four
lath machines and four boilers, and
will have capacity of approxi-
mately half million every twenty
hours.
The proposed saw mill will be the
largest plant north of Duluth, COM
prising a double cut and single cut
plant and two horizontal re.saws,
guaranteeing employment to an
army of men throughout the year.
In connection with the plan, will
be put in the largest battery of
boilers in the north country, eleven
72x18 boilers to be installed, Con-
tractor Sampson being now en-
gagged in building foundations. 1t
is unofficially announced that the
company contemplates furnishing
