AarveIous Escape from
Death
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

1t is well known that terrible rheumatism,
~sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any OF
the other diseases that afflict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com.
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people Of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had a desire TO end
her life, il it was the will of Heaven: she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven-directcd, she made use of Paine's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says;-
"For thirty years | have been a great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. l began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found | was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such a burden that |
almost prayed 10 lay it down. l was bedfast
every two weeks with horrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until / was almost
crazed. | am able to do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years. ]
am really enjoying life again, thanks to
Paine's Celery Compound. l am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years
by its use."

A WORD FOR THE BOY.

A boy at fifteen years of age, is,
in my opininn, at the most impor-
tant period of his life. He is at
the forks of the road. What he
needs more than anything else Is
sympathy and advice. 1t would
be strange, indeed, If boys did not
build castles in Spain at that age,
and what they need is the practi-
cal suggestion of someone, who is
himself a ucces in life, to guide
them. Most people think that
boys do not need either sympathy
or advice. 1t is a great mistake.
They need it as much as girls. /
have never known n of them to
refuse to take advice If it were
rendered them at the right time, in
the right time and in the right
spirit. The mistake that most
people make in talking to boys is
that they lecture them in season
and out, prosecute them with all
sorts of foolish suggestions, and
expect more from them than they
would from a man. If | had any
word of counsel to give it would
be: Don't lecture a boy. Don't
n ag him. Don't prosecute him if
he has done wrong. Don't laugh
at him if he fails, perhaps in some
over-ambitious boyish schemes.
| Don't crush him. Don't break his
spirit. Give the boy a chance.
Show him his mistake, and then
S how him what to do. When you
crush a boys spirit you have
ruined the boy;-in all probabi-
lities he will blossom into a first
class dude.

CHEERFULNESS.

Much depends upon a cheerful
start for the day. The man who
leaves home with a scowl on his
brow. and a snap at his children
and a tart speech to his wife in
stead of a kiss, is not likely to be
pleasant company. for anybody
during the days; he will probably
come home with the temper of a
porcupine. Wise plans should be
laid for every day, that it be not
an idle saunter, or an aimless
hustling to and fro. Yet to make
a good speed on the right track we
must not start over loaded not too
many things to be undertaken,
lest they prove a hasty patch
work. The journey is not made
in a cushioned car but on foot and
the most CALLING is vexations and
worrying cares. Steady walking
ought not to tire any healthy body
or soul. 1t is the ov%erstrained
rush whether in business or study,
that breaks people down; especi-
ally the insane greed for wealth,
or the mad ambition, goading
brain and nerves to a fury. The

HOW is YOUR SCHOOL.

Your school of course, is pro-
crossing, but we fear with many
it is only a matter "of course"
You hear the bell ring at nine in
the morning, you know your chill
dren are not on the rampage at
home turning things topsy-turvy
all the day but outside of this we
fear your personal knowledge is
very lame. Now there should be
daily watchfulness and care on
the part of the parents. Inquiry
should be- made of scholars, of
their progress, and an active in
terest taken in the advancements.
Occasional visits should be made
to the school room by every par
ent. Communication should be
frequ ent with the teacher in re-
gard to the child, In every pos
sible avenue the parents should ex-
hibit a real interest in the school,
standing and progress of the child,
The knowledge of such interest
will put the child on his guard,
and mettle and spur him on to
greater exertion. The gist of the
matter is, if you would have your
schools what they ought to be and
what you desire they should be,

animals at present command a
higher price than at any time dur
ing the past 33 years, while there
has been a decided slump in the
prices paid for furs from the

Last winter $3.50 was consid-

pelt from $18 to 800, where $6 or
