ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.
A School Boy Writes a Composition
That Amuses President
Roosevelt.

We have had abundant opportunity
To see and hear all kinds of school
boy compositions ranging in tone and
quality from the sublime to the ridicu-
lous. But the one given below seems
to "take the cake" over all the rest.
And we think our readers will find it
of especial interest both on account of
the subject and his method of treat
Miss Jennie i. Darr, sister of Win
M. Darr foreman of this Office, is a
teacher a the public schools at her
home in Wooster, Ohio, and few
years ago had this urchin as one of
her pupils. So she was interested in
sending us paper showing what one
of her former pupils could do in COM
position We need to remember that
the boy is only 8 years of age and
from the name he bears would hardly
be expected to have a fluent English ed.
Ication. The composition was written
at the time the president went through
there last May, and afterward pub
lished in the Minneapolis Journal.
The composition itself was sent to the
President who replied as follows

A lawyer who visited Rome tells
how the fire department grappled with
blaze in the Eternal City. He says:
The fire was in what we would call
a grocery store. 1t seemed u long
time before the fire department re-
sponded but after awhile | saw a
hose wagon dash around the corner
with a number of tiremen standing on
the running boards on each side The
wagon stopped at hydrant. and each
fireman jumped from the wagon with
a little roll of hose. The first man
coupled his to the hydrant, aud then
each man coupled his section TO the
preceding section. Finally they had
water on the fire, and after another
long period man with plumed hat
drove up in a victoria He was the
chief. The captain of the company
and the chief saluted with much cere-
mony, then shook hands and then held
long and dignitied conversation.
Finally, | suppose, the captain told the
chief the grocery was on fire, and the
chief acknowledged it was and com
plimented him on his perspicuity. Oh,
yes, they finally put the fire out, and
Rome still stands"

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS The
BEST NERVE TONIC.
A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her
Family by This Wonderful
Remedv

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starye and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows Nervous
people are generally pale people BY
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DR. vii.
liams Pink Pills for Pale People have
performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous suf.
ferer to neglect them with justice to
himself.
A recent case is that Of Mrs. Peter
Morrissette, of No 3l5 Eleventh street,
Alpena, Mich, who writes as follows
" My trouble started with childbirth.
After one Of my children was born had
a kind Of paralysis. 1 was very weak
and my mouth was n little crooked.
was always tired and was so nervous
that l could not bear 10 hear dog bark
or n bell ring-even the little bird in its
cage would annoy me. My heart hut-
tered a great deal and had dizzy spells.
l was not able 10 be left alone
my doctor gave me different kinds Of
medicine, changing it several times.
When it was evident that he could not
help me he said he did not understand
my case. This was three years ago and
l was very much discouraged, when my
brother, who had taken DR. Williams
Pink Pills. recommended them to me. I
tried them and noticed change for the
better when | was taking the second box.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured me and |
have been well ever since. now do all
my own homework, sewing aud wash
ing for seven of US have recommended
the pills to a number Of people and am
very glad to make this statement"
The fact that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
cured this stubborn case, as well as others
more severe, leaves no doubt that they
will cure lesser troubles arising from dis
ordered nerves and lack Of nerve force.
They have also cured diseases caused by
impure or impoverished blood such as
rheumatism, anemia and after effects
Of the grip.
All druggists sell DR., Williams Pink
Pills or the remedy will be mailed, post
paid on receipt of price, 80 cents per
box, six boxes for 30 50, by the DR.. Will
hams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Z.
