related
During the nocturnal attack of the
Ukra. on Dec 23. | was endorsed. My
animal had been wounded by bullet
in his chest from which the blood was
streaming, and as he could no longer
carry me | had been forced to leave
him. loading his equipment on my
shoulders. When | had reached our
first outpost. about 300 PAGES off, ! sat
down 10 rest before the fire, in some
grief Mt the loss Of my mount, when
Il plaintive sound and an unexpected
contact caused me to turn my head.
1t was the poor beast. which had re-
vived and had dragged itself in the
wake Of my footsteps. In spite of the
distance and the darkness, it had sue
ceeded in finding me and, recognizing
me by the light of the campfire, had
come uD grooming to lay its head on
my shoulder. My eyes filed with tears
ut tins last proof of attachment, and
/ was gently stroking it when, eN-
hausted from the blood it had lost and
ils efforts TO follow me, in the midst
of the men, who were as surprised
and touched as myself, it fell down,
struggled for moment and expired.

Eosy housekeeping.

Native housewives in the West In
dian jungle find housekeeping very
easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild
all about the hut, and the river
abounds with fish On washday all
she has TO do is TO pick few OF the
berries of the soap berry tree, take her
clothes to the river and use the berries
as she would use ordinary soap. Even
her cooking pots grow on the trees, the
calabash cut in halves being used for
this purpose. Calabashes are also used
for bowls, basins and jugs for carry
ing water from the river, while the
small ones make excellent cups. In
the afternoon when she is ready for
her cup of tea she picks half n dozen
leaves from the lime bush growing AT
her door, bols them. squeczes the juice
from a sugar cane for sweetening. and
the cocoanut supplies the milk Thus
she has delicious cup of tea without
depending on the grocer for it,

Colonel l.. b. Pease, who was for II
long period editor and publisher of the
Woonsocket Reporter, was responsible
for many quaint sayings and delicious
bonmots Upon one occasion he at
tended a crowded reception in Harris
hall and, staying quite late, was sur
prised to find his hat had been taken
and a very poor substitute left In its
stead. The following night he called
the attention of his readers to the fact
in the following manner: 1.-THE gentle
man WHO inadvertently took our new
silk tile and left a very inferior article
in Its place Will do us infinite kindness
by returning ours. He Will receive our
warmest thanks and two apologies--an
apology for the trouble we have given
him and the apology for hat he has
left us"

describing the fire ceremonies Of the

the error OF time made by the Indians

two years was insignificant. II was

told the Indians the proper time for

The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with
others, We must have suffered our
selves No one can realize the suff
er'ag attendant upon an attack of the
grip, unless he has had the actual ex.
perience. There is probably no dis
ease that causes so much physical
and mental agony, or which so sue
cessfully defles medical aid. All
danger from the grip, however, may
be avoided by the prompt use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A.

used this remedy, not one case has
ever been reported that has resulted
in pneumonia or that has not recov.

A cough Is the response to danger
signal which says that something is ir.
ritating ihe delicate mucous membrane
which lines the air passages leading to
the lungs. This cause of irritation may
vary, but in the common cough OF win
ter it is some offending matter, which
nature seekA TO clear off and cxpel by
means Of the compelling cough lest it
should block the bronchial tubes and
cause sufIocation. The sensitive nerves
that belong to these vital tubes act as
sentincls and send a message for sue
cor TO the brain, which Mt once responds
TO the cali by dispatching orders 10 the
chest muscles. These then contract
violently with one accord and force out
the air In cough, which carries with
1t the cause of irritation.

1t is 4 curious bit OF literary exercise
to take common saying and trace IT
back to its origin. Take the common
saying, for instance. "All that g'ittcrs
is moi gold" 1t is found IN current
literature everywhere and in dozen
different forms. Dryden renders it.,
"All. as tlIey say that giitters is not
gold SpenSer says, told all is not
that doth golden seem" Lyd%ate has
the same idea IN the words, An Is
not gold that outward sheweth bright"
Chaucer expresses il IN somewhat diff
ferent phrascology Middleton has IT,,
"All is not gold that glistcneth,' and
Shakespeare says, "Ai that glistens is
not gold" Go a little farther back
however, and the same expression IL
found is the nOHkish collection Of
proverbs, and there is no doubt If u
classical scholar We're TO set TO work
with the determination TO hunt the
provcrb down, no matter how long 1t
took, he would find it In Latin, Greek
and most other ancient and dead Ian
guages. 1t Is a natural outgrowtn OF
sarcasm as applied to fictitious show
and is no doubt rs old as the science
of metal working.

Lectures at the Baptist Church
this Friday Evening, March
10Th, 1906
COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The Net Proceeds Of the Lecture TO
be Used by Rev. Higgins
Bible Class

Personality is power, especially on
'he lecture platform. 1t is the man be-
hind the lecture, like 1.-THE man behind
the gum" who makes it effective and
entertaining. Mr.. Maxfield, who lectures
at the Baptist church this evening, is in
the prime of life, has fine physique
and has been continuously in he pulpit
and on the platform for a number of
years. He possesses a marked degree
that subtle something, which, for want
of better term, is called personality.
AS one one reviewer put it, "Mr. Max
fields delivery is fine; his presence is in
spring and hypnotical. His oratory
has been described as of the stormy"
sort. He starts with a full head of
steam and closes with the pressure un-
diminished His purpose in lecturing,
which is to help men and women in
their struggle for success, his true
christian sympathy and love for every
thing which will purify, brighten and
enoble humanity, his intense interest in
all that tends to uplift the young people
of today, is the fuel which feeds the fire
that makes the steam. Being of Scotch
Irish decent, his wit is inherited. Where
Mr. Maxfeld is known, a broad smile
usually overspreads the face of his
audience whenever he rises to speak,
and their anticipation of hearty laugh
is not disappointed. Added to all this
touch of dramatic eloquence, and a
power of vivid eloquence, and power
of vivid description, and you have
lecturer who will please, instruct and
help. The admission has been placed
at the low price of % cents and you
miss it if you are not there.
