Of life. She was too weak to show
restlessness. Her pinched and faded
face was covered with tiny cold beads.

Quarters. Here in huts of logs, turf,
and other primitive materials, their
town had been laid. out with streets
and byways, large council-house,
mill, a stockade, and blockhouses. The
Indians had received them with great
friendlineSs, feeling with them com.

heavy hand Of the Gentle had pushed
them also to this bleak frontier.

was told in after years how there had
leaped from the van of this train a
very earnest young man, who had at
once sought an audience with Brigham
Young and certain other members of
the Twelve who had CHANGED to be
present at the trains arrival; and
how, being closeted with these, he
had eagerly inquired if it might not

ter to an issue. When he had made
his proposal, he waited in a modest
attitude to hear their views Of it. To
his chagrin, all but two of those who
had listened laughed. One of these

aspect whom the Church Poet had
felicitiOusly entitled the Entablature

climbed over the seat to where his
mother lay. She seemed to sleep in
spite of the jolting. The driver called
back to him;
She took on terrible for a spell,
Brother Rae. She's only jest now got
herself pacitied."
He put his hand on her forehead
and found it burning. She stirred
and moaned and muttered disiOinted
sentences. He heard his fathers
name, his sisters, and his own, and
he knew she was deliriOus. He eaSed
her bed as we'll as he could, and made
a place for himself beside her where
he could sit and take one of the pale,
thin hands between his own and try
to endow her with some Of his abun-
dant life. He stayed by her until
their camping place was reached.
Once for moment she opened her
eyes with what seemed to him more
than normal clearneSS and understand
ing and memory in them. Though she
looked at him long without speaking,
she seemed to say all there was to
say, so that the brief span was full Of
anguish for him. He sighed with re-
lief when the consciousness faded
again from her look, and she fell to
babbling ouce more of some long gone
day in her girlhood.
When the wagon halted he was
called outside by the driver, who
wished instructions regarding the
camp to be made. A few moments
later he was back. and raised the side
of the wagon cover to let in the light.
The look on her face alarmed him.

A nervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of Mysteries, is a source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive nus
bands from home but are wholly unit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves. consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, tn e
blues. sleeplessness. and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.

treme irritability Do you suffer

dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
