A Wonderful Discovery.

sensation has been created here by
the publication Of the story of G. w.
Gray, who after a special treatment
for three MOI tbs was PROSTATE and
helpless and given up to die with
Brights disease. Brights disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr..
Gray, there is a remedy which will cure
it, even in the most advanced stages.
This is what he says:
Il was helpless as little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's disease, hoping that l would
be able to find remedy After many
failures my wife insisted that | should

under the dry fodder.

When they reached the creek, Title
deposited the eggs in a safe place, and
with Bennie's assistance began to collect
dry sticks and leaves from the hollows
for their fire.
"Harkw said Title, as they sat watch

the church bell reached them clearly.

ceased
"Why, yes. It's Easter to-day ever

When Title decided that the eggs had
roasted sufficiently, she took two fat
sticks and rolled them out of the hot
ashes Then, finding a large, fiat lime

the salt in little white heap in the
center and arranged the roast eggs
around it. Bonnie looked on i'll speech

BEAUTIFUL EASTER CUSTOM.
Advent of Resurrection Day Hailed
with Melody and Praise.

Advent of Resurrection Day Hailed
with Melody and Praise.
''No more divinely appropriate express
sion of the Moravians' love of music and
their appreciation of its inspiriting power
is to be found than in their sublime
annunciation of the Resurrection day"
writes Clifford Howard descriptive OF
ga Moravian Easter Dawn" in the La
dies Home Journal. Through the quiet
streets (of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in
the early morn, the trombonists walk
from place to place, pouring forth their
grand, inspiring anthem that arouses the
slumbering town to the welcome knowl-
edge of the advent of this glorious day.
Now here, now there, now everywhere
the lights appear within the windows OF
the dwellings, and the streets are throng-
ed with people, young and old, vending
their way from all directions toward the
church, and greeting one another with
loving salutations of the day. The Eas-
ter service is begun within the church
and is continued there until the brighten
ing sky announces the advent of the
dawn. Then, in slow procession, subdued
and reverent, the people pass without the
doors, and, headed by the trombonists,
solemnly ascend the winding hill to their
beloved and quaint old burying ground.
''Within the closure of this consecrat-
ed spot the congregation assemblies and
stands in a large semi-circle facing the
eastern hill in fond anticipation of the
emblem of it's cherished faith. A little
apart stand the ministers, and the from
bone choir. Thus assembled, the service
of song and responsive readings, begun
in the church, is continued. A sense of
deep, religious awe pervades the gath
cred throng, as on this cold, gray morn
ing of the early spring they await, in
spiritual communion with their departed
loved ones the Resurrection hour. Above
the hill the dawning light appears Then
from the voices of the assembled host
there bursts melody of raptured song,
a heartfelt hymnu of praise and adora-
ton, a spontaneous symphony of joy,
that starts in glad expression of triumph
ant hearts, and mingling with the full,
resounding strains of sweet-toned trum-
pets and resonant trombones, arises with
the warbling song of joyous birds in glad
hosannas to the splendent sky. For see.
a radiant light o'erspreads the earth. A
wondrous glory halls the newborn day.
The sun appears in fulgency sublime
Gods symbol of the resurrected life; and
earth and heaven in exulting joy peal
forth in glad, antiphonal accord: The
Lord is risen! Hallelujah, praise the

Our mothers" softly whispered Tie
lie.
Whose children are you?" he asked
suddenly.
"We-uns live to Uncle Pete Gripe's,
but we-uns air Dave Lewis children;
our pa died in the mountains, an our
ma died out hyar, an this is her grave,
explained Tile.
The man drew them to him in quick,
passionate embrace, saying rapidly:
'Tillie! Bonnie! I'm not dead; In
your pa come back to you! This IS a
happy Easter to me, for ! am restored
to the children who | was told cleo
with her whose grave I'm now kneehnS
by" and his frame shook with the lnten-
sity of his emotion.
Dave Lewis had not persisted IN the
blizzard as had been reported. A noun
taineer had rescued him and taken MN
to his cabin, where he had lain SICK TOT
months. When he was able to cross the
mountains to the nearest postothce, ne
had learned through the postmaster back
home that his wife and children had
gone to Kansas, and all had been swept
away with a fever.
Caring little what became of him, but
too poor to return to his friends, ne had
turned back to the mountains, and
buried himself from all civilization IN
the remote mining camps.
For nearly four years he had had
hard struggle of it, then luck suddenly
changed, and Dave Lewis and his part
ner began turning out geenrous quantl-
ties of gold.
Selling out his interest in their mine
for small fortune, Lewis had left the
Rockies. He had come to Windyville
to find the graves of his family. Tired
with his long walk, he had entered the
church to rest, before seeking Gripe's
cabin.
Tillie and Bonnie now have home
of their own, with all they need to
make them happy.

Having finished the eggs, the little
party started up Wolf creek toward the
town. On the way Mary Jane gener-
ously gave Tillie the larger part of her
| wild flowers.
When they arrived at the church,
which stood on the outskirts of the town
with a graveyard surrounding it, the
| Easter service had begun.
| Mary Jane led her oddly dressed COM

way to the pulpit. Many eyes were
| turned curiously upon the little stran-
gers, who trembled with childish emo

| crowd of fine persons.
| Though the remainder of the service
| was short, Tillie was made very uncom-

| of large man, with heavy dark whis-
kers and prematurely gray hair, who oc-
cupied a corner of the seat opposite

At last the congregation arose to re-

deserted them in her haste to get with

and waiting for the crowd to leave the
church before they started back to
