A WOMAN FISHERMAN
Having Lost Her Husband shs
Tempts ePril Of Sea to Support
Her Children


Her Children
Up on the bleak shores of Fisher
mans Island in Hancock county, Me-,
works Mrs Kate Wilson, lobster
catcher
Since that dreadful day in the mid
die of December three years ago, when
she saw the waves close over her
husband and his little schooner. al
most within hailing distance of his
own home, the rising sun has found
her toiling over her lobster pots.
Hers is a labor of love brought on
| by starvation's specter In all that
region, where little regard is wasted
/ on material things and where the
hardy. inhabitants find only time
enough to wrest modest living from
the sea, she has become a figure of
unbounded sympathy and praise for
the able manner in which she has car
ried on her husbands business and
4 brought up her three little children a
girl of and two many boys of and
6 years of age.
| Mrs. Wilson is comparatively new
conner to Fisherman's Island, where
most of the inhabitants are fairly
rooted to the SOIL She is the daugh-
ter of Joseph Harwood of Franklin,
/ Nova Scotia, and her early life was
spent upon a modest little farm just
near enough to the rolling ocean so
| that she could see it,.
At the age of % she married John
Wilson and came to live with him in
the old Wilson homestead on the ISL
j and. John was the last of his family
and had inherited from his people
not only the family rooftree, but also
one of the biggest lobster schooners
on Fisherman's Island.
For a time their lives ran smoothly
and the three children. born to the
young couple were the best dressed
| of any in the neighborhood. John Will
son was industrious and he prospered
accordingly. No matter how bitter
| the day or threatening the storm, as
long as the sea was not running too
high to lift the lobster traps, he was
willing to breast the waves in his lit
/ tie craft and to make haul.
His daring became prOverbial in
| that section and it eventually cost his
life On December IA, 1903, he started
to make his customary round of the
| lobster traps, although the sky was
murky and the voice in the sea held
a warning. Older men, who had
watched the sea and it's moods for
many years, shook their heads when
they saw him making ready for his
daily trip. They went to him and
warned him, but he laughed at their
fears. He was not used to brooking
the fury of the seas so he launched
his boat into the waves as soon as a
slight calm showed.
For time all went we'll. He work
ed within sight of his wife and num-
Der of others, who peered from their
windows over the sea. Suddenly a
sQuall blew up and he started to drive
his little craft shoreward. The power
of the wind increased in fury and he
lost control of his craft, which over
turned him into the sea, where he
sank before the eyes of his wife and
| children.
With theb readwinner of the family
drowned, Mrs. Wilson did not know
where to turn for aid, for relatives she
had none. There were left to her as
assets, however, her husbands sloop
and the family homestead. Nothing
daunted, she set to work for herself.

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Story Of Postum Cereal in Words
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
Co. is like a fairy tale, but it is true,
every word of it.
"The Door Unbolted' Is the title of
charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
illustrates, the story of this remark
able growth. 1t takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. 1, 1895,
through the palatial offices and great
factory buildings of the white City,
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises OF to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint OF.
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is a reproduction OF
the Shakespeare house at -Stratford'
on-Avon, and upon the house and Its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums Of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms OF the
mansions of our multi-millionaires
than like offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor
oughly in the idea of giving to his
employees attractive and healthfu
work rooms is proven not only by the
general office building of the Compan!
and its furnishings, but by his fac
tories as we'll, and Of all of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. 1t Will be sen
to anyone on request.

with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left tine for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
ssNothing had helped me until began
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
had grown worse every day. After l
had taken the pills short time l could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-

Able to Command Sleep.

With Georges Clemenceau, the new
French premier, sleep is a mere mat
ter of volition, in which facility he re-
sembles Gladstone and the great Ma
poleon. He drops off to sleep at any
odd moment-in his private carriage
and even at meetings of the cabinet
when only routine matters are under
consideration. This ability to go tc
sleep when and how he pleases is the
secret OF his tremendous ability as 6
worker. He learned English in this
