The late Mrs. Isabella Bishop,
whose travels in different parts of tho
world secured for her membership in

woman. She was unused to travel
ana was alone when she had the fol-

Blackwood's Magazine:
Once, in train going to New York,
she was dreadfully tired, and yet she
had a feeling that If she went to sleep
the man sitting next tc her would pick
her pocket. she struggled for some
time against her inclination to sleep,
but having for a moment given way
she awakened to feel the hand of her
neighbor gently Withdrawing her
purse from her pocket.
In her purse, besides some money
which was, comparatively speaking,
OF small moment, was her baggage
check. That was the only thing that
really mattered. II she accused her
neighbor of theft, nothing was simpler
for him than to drop the purse out
of the open window beside which he
was sitting. No; she determined she

She secured the services of porter,
and, with apparent calmness, follow

derfully great and considerably ahead
of any previous year. 1t is always
interesting to those who contemplate
moving to read expressions Of opinion
from those living in the country. 1t is
therefore our pleasure to reproduce the
following written to an Agent of the
Government and forwarded to the I'm
migration Branch Of the Department
of the Interior at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask, Canada.
Feb. 1st, 1905.
Dear Sir:
1 take pleasure in dropping you a
few lines to let you know how we are
getting along up here and how we like
the place. We have been here close on
to year now and think the place is
fine. We have been out every day this
winter working in the bush getting out
logs for buildings, ETC., getting rails
for fencing. We have not suffered
with the cold as much as we did in
Chicago. My little boys are out every
day with their sleighs having a good
time. The lowest the temperature has
been this winter is "a below and 1t is
very still, no wind.
We had splendid summer; we put
up about so tons Of hsy and will have
about 80 tons to sell; hay brings sS per
ton now and will be higher in the
spring. We have 20 acres broke and
ready for crop. We worked on the
Can. Nor. Ry. for awhile this summer
and am just miles from the railroad
and townsite. The steel is all laid to
within miles Of the river and we
often see the train bringing supplies for
the bridge.
My wife's people are coming up
about May. 1 wish you would write
them and If there should be anyone
coming to Prince Albert that could do
with a half car let them know. The
homesteads are all taken up within Y
miles of US. often think II this land
were only in the States what rush
there would be; 1t is the richest land
and the most productive I ever saw,
and the climate Is OK.
I know that people back there that
write to do not believe me when I
write them what splendid winter we
are having, they think We are all froz-
en- up. We have only about 8 inches
of snow, and there are cattle on the
range that have not been rounded up
this winter. Day after day the ther-
mometer raises up to 80 and 60 and
don't believe we have had a day this
winter that it has stayed at zero. My
wife says that we used to think that
zero was cold in Chicago. But we don't
mind it one bit. Christmas night we
went out and drove 5 miles with our
three little boys; 1t was 20 below, and
there was not whimper from any one
of them; I'd hate to do it in old Chi
cago.
Well, guess I will close. and you
can tell anyone In the q. 8. that they
cannot do better than come to the
Prince Albert District. I remain, yours
truly.

EVERY ONE ASKS Him
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of tho Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all of them good, one Of
them specialist, had done their best
for Mr. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from tho 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 i'll February,
1901. From that time on for period
of more than three years he was a 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: 81 should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
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. My feet were badly affected.
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all lii
the muscles and the nerves"
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in Dr. Will.
iams' 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, ST could realize change for
the better. I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
I am entirely well. and everybody is
asking what I took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly ON the blood which is
the seat Of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

II was troubled with severe scalp
humor and loss of hair that gave me
great deal of annoyance and incon-
