A CURIOUS FAMILY TREE.
1t Represents an OAK and is Made Of
Fourteen.karst GOLD.

A novel product of the goldsmith's
art takes the form of genealogical
tree. The tree. which stands about
fifteen inches high, and is fourteen
karat gold. is an oak with spreading
branches and full foliage ON the sub
stantial and somewhat snarlod trunk.
says the jewelers. Circular is a small
plate with an inscription indicating
that James *. and Marguerite II. Og
den were married in 1912 in Phile-
delphia, Pa. Another plate indicates
that fifty years later, when the couple
celebrated the golden anniversary of
their marriage. this tree was present
ed by their affectionate relatives and
friends.
A number of acorns scattered
among the twigs bear the names of
various members of the Ogden family
who were Of this world at the date of
the presentation. On the silver base
now black with age are six acorns
inscribed with names of members of
the family who have departed this
life. The idea was that when a mem.
ber OF the family died his acorn
should be cut of the tree and buried
in the base.
1t is understood that the original
cost of this tree which was made in
Philadelphia was 81 800.

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM.
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells OF the Way by which He
Treated Himself successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Six physicians all os them good. one of
them specialist. lad done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, aud still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures Of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor.
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice in February,
1901 From that time on for period
of more than three years he was con-
stant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment. but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it mp and save his money. {"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones SAYS: "My rheumatism started
i'll my right thigh, but in time it mp
peared in every muscle Of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. Ny feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels
,. When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn' I
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
| the muscles and the nerves"
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr. Jones to think that a cure might
yet be found was u friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
tember, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief. but nothing could be
more satisfactory
when was on the third box, says
Mr. Jones, " ! could realize a change for
the better. felt sure then that DIR.
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what | took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford
Mich. DIR. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which il
the seat of the disease. They are SOLD
by every druggist.

Sheep Follow Leader to Death.

THE most striking example of fol-
lowing a leader into the Jaws of death
| ever saw took place in Kent county
last week" said a Kent county farmer.
''EX-Sheriff Edward J.. Pummer," he
continued, had a flock of seventeen
sheep, which, for some unaccountable
reason, determined TO go from one pas
tire to another To make the journey
it was necessary to cross the creek on
the ice. Sure enough, the old buck of
the flock walked cautiously out on the
weakened ice. When he was about
midstream it gave way and he plunged
in.
"The other sheep, instead of return
ing to the shore, which they could have
done. deliberately and, as hhe lawyers
would put il, with malice afore.
thought, walked into the hole in the
ice made by their leader and were
drowned, Nothing but sheep would
have ever been fool enough to be gull.

POSSIBLY some excuse for the foolhardy
old buck, but can think of no extenu

Quaint English Custom.

1t is the custom of many Londoners
TO gather around St Paul's cathedral
IN the last night of each year and
sing Aud Lang Syne' and other
more or less appropriate songs till ~
o'clock. As the Standard describes IT,:
There is no watch-night service at
Londons great cathedral. no tolling
of bells to speed the going, no JOY
ous peal 10 greet the coming guest.
The crowd is left to provide its own
sentiment. Slowly the clock in the
southwest tower chimes the four
quarters, and then comes the deep
boom which tells of the arrival of an
other year. There is a second or two
Of silence, and then a mighty cheer
breaks out friend grasps friend by
the hand and the time-honored wishes
sre repeated over and, over again.
There is an indescribable something
that gives a solemnity to the occasion.
The surroundings, the traditions.
whatever II may be, all tend TO invest

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks TO the iron, but because
each package contains l6 Ozone full
poUnd-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in A-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
& stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
