come and go in the cheeks of the i'm
maculate face. The eyes, too, were
strangely lifelike. The pupils seemed
to contract and expand as if giving
vent to the changing emotions of the
soul which they disclosed. The longer
he looked on the face the more real
and life-like it became. The lips, as
fresh as a rose just dipped in dew, agi-
tated him. He felt as if every mo-
ment they would expand into a smile
or droop into an expression of over
towering sadness.
Then there arose before him a pic
ture of the bright-eyed, fresh-cheeked
sweetheart in the tiny Kentucky ham,
let, where his early pencilings had
won him the awe and reverence of
young and old. Until that moment
he had lived to create, but now there
sprung up in him the desire to copy
that magic face and win the fame and
happiness he had so long pondered on
and shaved for in vain.
AS he studied the features and col
oring of that wonderful image on the

Lemnos "SeaIed Earth"

Lemnos, the latest island of the
AEGEAN upon which the international
squadron has descended, will no doubt
offer a warm welcome to the invad-
ers, for it is to her shores that the
Sultan sends his political enemies
in order that they may be cured of
their distemper. There was a time,
indeed, when the island enjoyed a
high reputation for the cure of many
distempers other than political. The
Lemnian earth, or sealed EARTH" was
famous during the Middle Ages as
a panacea for snake-bite, plague, and
dysentary. But the earth had no vir-
tue unless collected on Aug. 6, with
due religious ceremonial, and from a
particular spot near the ruins of Hep
haestia. OF recent days, however, all
the virtue has vanished from the
sealed EARTH" and only the most an
cient of the Grecian matrons are
foolish enough to load their barrows
with the despised medicine The ma
tives-25,0OO of them are Greeks and
5000 Turks-have discovered that
corn, wine, and tobacco are now in
greater request, and they may be de-
pended upon to meet the demands of
the British marine.-London Chron-
icle.

oreanist's Note Went Astray.

This is a true story of a lady or
ganist in a church not a thousand
miles from Tilton. n. H.
On going into church one morning
she noticed that a new minister, a
stranger, was in the pulpit. Previous
to this she had had considerable trou-
BILE because the blow boy would let
the wind out of the organ when she
needed it most. So she wrote a note,
saying, BLOW, blow hard; blow all
the time until tell you to STOP and,
calling the blow boy, gave it to him.
The boy, supposing the note was
meant for the minister, without open
ing or reading it, carried it to the
pulpit. The minister's surprise and
the organist's confusion in conse-
quence were about equal.

true artist. but justified he felt-grew
upon him, and his mind was made up
to translate that magnificent face on
his own canvas. He believed that if
he could succeed in reproducing the
colors that blended in the heavenly
beauty of that face his future would
be secure and his fame everlasting.
He had but few dollars 1eft-barely
sufficient to pay the rent for his studio
just due. He overhauled his can
vases and found that he had nothing
suitable for the work that he pro-
posed.
Then he would have to lay in a
large supply of colors with which to
experiment in order to reproduce the
glorious tints of his model. The col
ors would be expensive and there
would be nothing left to pay the land
lord The thought of food never en-
tered his brain. But what of it! He
could put off the landlord for a few
weeks and then he would be both rich
and famous.
The following day found the young
artist working away with all the en-
thusiasm of genius. His face was
flushed and his eyes glowed with

sheer exhaustion and hunger, he lay
down his brushes and went out and
bought a cup of weak coffee and a bis
cult Day followed day and still the
almost inspired young man stuck to
his canvas. What he had eaten for a
week would not have made a hearty
meal. The landlord had agreed to wait
a few days and he had dismissed the
matter from his mind Slowly but
surely the face of the woman on the
vase was growing on his canvas The
of persuasion agreed to hold OF for a
few days more.
George Chalmers sat before his al
most finished canvas. A look of I'M
speakable happiness shone in his
eyes. His whole body quivered with
a delightful excitement. He realized
that his work was all but completed
and began to indulge in the luxury of
dreams In an hours time he would
have given the finishing touches to his
work of art, and then-a food of &c
stasy poured into the young artists

He did not hear the heavy creak of

FACIAL PARALYSIS
Nervous Distortion Of Face Cured BY
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Nervous Distortion OF Face Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.
What appears to be a slight nervous
attack may be the forerunner of a severe
disorder. No nervous sufferer should
neglect the warning symptoms, but
should see that the starved nerves are
nourished before the injury to the deli
cate organism has gone to an extent that
renders a cure a difficult matter. The
nervesreceive their nourishmentt through
the blood, the same as every other part
of the body, and the best nerve tonic and
food is DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The
experience of Mr.. Harry Bemis, of
Truthville, Washington county, N. z,
substantiates this.
At had been feeling badly for q long
time" said Mr.. Bemis, g and in the
early part of September, 1902, 1 was COM
PEELED to quit work on account of my i'll
health. My trouble was at first ex-
treme nervousness, then my sight be-
came affected and consulted an oc1list
who said was suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some time, but got
no benefit. / tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief. My
nervousness increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild. Ny mouth
was drawn so 1 could scarcely eat and
one eye was affected so could hardly
see. had very little use Of my limbs,
in fact was almost a complete wreck.

That is because followed my wife's adj
vice and took DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
She had used the same remedy herself
with the most gratifying results and she
persuaded me to try them when it ap-
peared that the doctors were unable to
help me- They acted very surely in my
case; my face came back into shape and
