easily guessed AT the rest. He had
only to consult the passenger list to
assure himself that Mr.. Royce and T
were aboard. And he was following us,
hoping-what? What could q man in
his position hope to accomplish? What
need was there for us to fear him ?
n yet there was something about
him-something in the atmosphere of
the man--that almost terrified me.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEEn
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pint
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many wonderland men too
are suffering from a general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check! How many hus.
bands see their wives wasting away
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to helpl CONSUMPTION
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task of
fighting of the infection of these diseases
to which most Of us are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results SO fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Marley, of
80 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case,
is q typical one. She says:
For six months after the birth of my
baby, l suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like a rush of
blood to my forehead, just back Of my
eyes. Some days they twitched SO l
could hardly see and black spots fioated
before them. The least exertion brought,
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and | was often sick to my stomach.
"f l tried to work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. L
mao SINKING spells and grew pale and
nervous. I was SO thin that l weighed
only 95 pounds.
Zone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders l decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. 1
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
$50 pounds. / believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder a woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and l have never
been seriously i'll since"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do It's work.
If you are Ill and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for,
proof Of what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
Your druggist sells them or they will
be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of
price, 80 cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co..

TAKE BROTHERS. ADVICE,

If girls would just follow out the
precepts OF their brothers they would
never need fear doing anything for
which they might be criticised, but
generally It is SO much more interest
ing to follow the advice of somebody
else's brother.
Other peoples brothers, however, are
not apt to give such sound advice. A
man will often invite a girl to go some
place where he would not allow his
own sisters to be seen, and will urge
her 10 do the very thing that he par
ticularly warns his sister against.
NO matter what a brothers own
principals may be he has an entirely
different standard for his sister. She
Is supposed to be a model of perfection
even though he is far from one. and
While she may not be able to depend
upon him in any other respect she can
have perfect confidence in his advice
as far as she is concerned.
The girl who has a brother is more
than fortunate on this account as well
as for the numerous other advantages
they offer. She need never have 10

Even brothers do not have to be asked
They dole out opinions and lay down

But brothers know. They have OBJ.
portunities to hear what men say abou

standards for the women for whom
they care are all about alike and the,

He Fired = Pistol.

When Prince Bismarck first went as the
representative Of Prussia to the federal
diet at Frankfort, russia was of very
small account compared with Austria, and
Bismarck found that he was treated with
indifference at his hotel. He was given
a room which had not even a bell, and
when he complained he was told hat
what was good enough for other travellers
was good enough for the Prussian dele
gate. Bismarck said no more, but early
the next morning the hotel was startled
by a tremendous explosion. The landlord
came rushing into Bismarck's room to
know what was the matter, and was told
that, as there was no bell, the Prussian
delegate had arranged with his valet to
fire a pistol whenever he required his
services. Bismarck got his bNll without de-
lay.

Rich and Poor.

Upton Sinclair. the brilliant author Of
"The Jungle" said in a st. Patrick's day
address last year:
II love Ireland. She is downtrodden and
oppressed, and The downtrodden and OPP
pressed are dear TO me. Ireland typiies
the poor, her oppressors typify the rich,
and the way &c rich abuse the poor is
typihed in the story of the count and his
valet.
THE valet committed some trihfng Of
fense-forgot TO perfume the coun
handkerchief, perhaps-and the angry
nobleman shouted:
'Eugenio, come here ami help me on
with my shoes. / want to kick you"

South America has a frog of peculiar
habits. Dwelling i'm the virgin forests,
at the tops OF the highest trees, 1T
chooses as a site of its nursery some
hollow stump and then proceeds TO line
IL with resin procured from trees in
the neighborhood. This lining serves
to catch and hold the rainwater with
which it quickly becomes filled. AS
soon as this takes place the eggs are
laid therein and here they undergo de-
velopment into tadpoles. How the resin
is collected is a mystery, nor is IT yet
known how the separate pieces become
welded to form the water tight basin
necessary TO insure the safety of the
treasures deposited therein.

In Canada the French settlers still
continue TO use large brick ovens out OF
doors such as were built in France 200
years ago. The perfection of the stove
and range in the last fifty years a
driven many of these ovens out of COM
mission, but many of the habitants
think that no good baking can be done
I'm any other oven. It's use is simple.
IA fire is made in the wen of good nara
wood and when the oven is exceedingly
hot the ashes are raked out and the
large loaves ready to bake are placed
on the bottom of the oven without pans.
This method of baking makes a very
thick croute or crust. AS all OF the
natural elements of the grain are left
in the flour the break is dark in color.
