One Who Broke Down from Six Years
Of overwork Tells How She
Escaped Misery of En-
forced Idleness.

II had been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years." said
Miss James, whose recent return to
the work from which she was driven
by nervous collapse has attracted at
tention. "They were greatly over-
crowded, especially in the primary de-
partment of which had charge, and
had been doing the work of two teach
ers. The strain was too much for my
nerves and two years ago the crisis
came.
Il was prostrated mentally and ply
sically, sent in my resignation and
never expected to be able to resume
work. 1t seemed to me then that was
the most miserable woman on earth.
l was tortured by nervous headaches,
worn out by inability to sleep, and had
so little blood that was as white as
chalk.
After my active life, 1t was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discourage
ing 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 l had suffered for
many months, and when l was on the
very verge of despair, I happened to
read an account of some cures effected
by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were so convincing that some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, think, buy
only one box for trial, but purchas-
ed six boxes at once, and when 1 had
used them up, I was indeed we'll and
had no need of more medicine.
Or. Williams Pink Pills enriched
my thin blood, gave me back my sleep,
restored my appetite, gave me strength
to walk long distances without fati-
que, in fact freed me from all my nu-
merous ailments. l have already
taught for several months, and can
not say enough in praise of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills"
Miss Margaret NJ. James is now liv-
ing at No. 123 Clay street Dayton,
Ohio. Many Of her fellow teachers
have also used DR.. Williams Pink Pills
and are enthusiastic about their mer-
its. Sound digestion, strength, ambi-
tion, and cheerful spirits quickly fol-
low their use. They are sold in every

As soon as Secretary Taft, Miss
Roosevelt and members of the party
descended to the wharf, they were met
by members of the local committee
Mrs. E. d. Tenney and Mrs. Fred. w.
Macfarlane of the ladies committee
were introduced to Miss Roosevelt by
Acting Governor Atkinson, and were
then escorted to their carriages. The
Secretary of War was placed in the
carriage of Governor Carter, Acting
Governor Atkinson taking his seat be-
side him. and the carriage was driven
ahead of the line. Miss Roosevelt was
escorted to a carryall, with Mrs. Fred.
Macfarlane as her escort and Mr..
Nicholas Longworth occupying a seat
behind with Mrs. Dubois of Idaho as
her chaperon. In rapid manner the
remaining coaches and carryalls were
filled according to plans prepared by
the committee. The carriages moved
on the wharf through lines of infantry
from Camp Mckinley and an outer
file of police sent by Sheriff Brown. In
each carriage were representatives of
the local committee, placed there to
impart useful information concerning
the islands. The outer wharf was
crowded with people, who had braved
the early morning hours just to catch
a glimpse of the great war secretary
and the presidents daughter. 1t must
be confessed that Miss Alice Roosevelt
was really the cynosure OF all eyes.

Have you ever read the blood curdling
story Of the massacre Of St Bartholo-

Of the Venetian artist. Tintoretto. AMI
Of Peter Paul Rubcns. entitled ''The
Massacre of the Inn0ccnts." From
these two thrilling pictures you gain
IN idea Of what that most awful trag.
edy In France. known as the massacre
Of St. Bartholomew, must have been
like. In those pictures you can see the
frantic eyes OF the mothers watching
the mur,ierers Of their children com
ing nearer and nearer to their prey.
You can see some Of these mothers on
their knees trying 10 shield their ba-
bies with their arms. Or you can scs'
them with their hands clutching the
murderOus blades to ward them of
from their children. though the keen
edge cut their hands TO the bone. Or
you can see some Of these mothers
running away In the distance with
their babies under their arms. In dra-
matte contrast TO the pleading. praying
frenzled and helpless looks OF these
agonized mothers you can see Herod's
butchers driving In sword here. strik.
ing down baby there. ripping open
the tender body OF beautiful infant
beyond. tossing up n child farther on

catching II upon the edge Of n sharp

bolical abandon as was shown by the
agents OF Mana Sahib. who entered the

Indian mutiny OF 1857 and with theii
knives hacked into pieces the women
and children until the murderers liter
ally waded In blood.

Faith In God.

But. though Queen Esther went into
this battle for her people determined
TO use Christian stratagem. yet this.
after all, was only the sc rondary part
OF her strength. Her great strength
came from the fact that she. first and
last and all the time. was depending
upon the God OF Abraham. Isaac and
Jacob. the God Of her people. This
beautiful queen had been brought up
in a religious atmosphere. Her foster
father, Mordccal. was n devout wor-
shipper ut the divine throne. She was
grounded In the Hebrew faith when a
child. She knew that God was omnipo-
tent and II she went forth In his
strength she might be omnipotent too.
oh, my friends. will you and go forth
to battle for God feeling that the d.
vine power Of God is In us and that we
through him can do all things:

the divine power l want you to step

the way for the conquest OF his chill

and his prime minister banqueted with
Queen Esther, Ahasuerus was unable
to sleep. Back and forward he tossed

said to himself: II cannot sleep. Then
at least let me pass the hours OF night
away profitably" So he began to call:
Light, guard. light Send my secre-
tary TO read 10 mew Turn 10 the sixth
