Robbins To Health and Also Cured n
Her DAUGHTER of Anaemia.

Mrs. Jo.ie Robbins, of 1121 Clar

thin and troubled with headaches. My
appetite failed SO that 1 did not rel
ish my food. l was unable to do my
work because my limbs panied me
SO and my feet were swollen. I got
numb and dizzy. n4y tongue seemed at
times to be paralyzed so that /
couldn't speak distinctly. My extrem-
tiles, when in this numb state, felt as

my shoulders at times had such pain
that l couldn't sleep. Many times l
awoke with a smothering sensation.
when the physicians remedies
failed to benefit me l began to look
for something that would. My sister,
Mrs Mcdaniel, of Decatur, recon-
mended DIR. Williams Pink Pills to
me and 1 at once purchased some. l
was greatly encouraged when l saw
how they acted on my nervous condi-
tion and continued using them until
cured. 1 am now able to attend to my
duties and have not consulted a phys
ician since.

who had always been weak and who
at this time seemed to lack vitality.
Her cheeks were colorless and she
was thin and spiritless. She had an

ss<.I <iEa ma n9ck On mar WIFE,
The g1rls mortified gaze took In the
creature behind her. The dryneSs of
her throat told her that she had lost
the power to scream even had she dar-
ed. The man would certainly kill her.
His villainous face told its own tale.
She threw up her hands to ward the
man away as she gasped. "Oh, don't
touch me, and I'll give 1t to you"
How she hated to give up her pre-
cious chain. There was no way out of
II. Their only maid had retired early
with the toothache, father and mother
were at the theater, and the carriage
had been sent for her chaperon. She
was utterly alone. Fumbling desper-
ately with the clasp, she suddenly felt
the floor rising and swaying away from
the burglar. She toppled to the rug in
a faint.
Ere the man could stoop to the pros
trate figure there was a crash at the
big hall window, and Ned sprang
through the splintered points from the
piazza. A long reach, a scientific blow
with big fellows full weight behind
it, and the burglar was crumpled up in
the corner.
"He won't come out of that right
away" said Ned as he searched the
man and pocketed his revolver.
Elsa came back to consciousness un-
der a shower of half frightened kisses.
Darling darling! Did he hurt you?"
demanded Ned as she clung desper-
ately to him.
"No but those dreadful eyes," she
shivered. Mercy" as she caught sight
of the huddled figure. "Is he dead,
Ned?"
Not he said Ned contemptuously.
They're tough"
"Oh, do get him out of the way
quick, Ned" sobbed the unstrung girl.
"He might hurt you. Call the police
quick"
Ned rang up the station with hurry
call, and after he had closed the door
on the officers with their still uncon-

That he succeeded well was proven
by the admiring glance that Elsa fas-
tened on the erstwhile lonely diamond
as she said. "Oh, weren't you brave,
Ned?"
"a gun is no good against knock
out when you see your man first" re-
piled Ned, with grin.
"You may be domineering," said
Elsa mischievously, but you'll be a
good protection against burglars any
way"
perhaps you had better hurry uI
and secure me-" replied the young
man. with an emphasizing embrace.

Then she rose and took the one piece
of cocoanut cake that was left and
wrapped 1t up in dainty parcel and
tied it with ribbon, and in the morning
she sent it by Prudence to Dick Chase,
with little note.

was the confession he read in her clear

and l shouldn't like to have you hear
it that way. But 1 didn't think you

and l worried about your mother. /

to explain"
At noon on the campus Dick Chase
came up to Betty Belle.
"It was right-what you said," he
told her soberly. ave been a fearful

| Betty Belle sat down on a seat under
the elms. you see, I have lots Of
brothers," she confided, "and I know
how mothers feel about their boys
and, then, l couldn't bear to see you
going to the bad"
There was q little tremble in her
voice, and Dick looked up quickly. DO
you carer he asked eagerly
Yes" Betty Belle told him without
coquetry. Il think we could be good
friends If you would pull up"
Dick flung himself down on the
bench beside her. 'T would have to
be more than friends, Betty Belle" he
said "I-have grown to think q lot of
you; you are so-different"
That's what Drusilla says" Betty
Belle remarker, "and l don't just see
what you all mean"
"Well, you are so good and true, lit

feel that life is worth while"
That night in dormitory 10 Betty

Across the campus they could see the
lights in the mems dormitory. In one
room crowd of boys had gathered
around a piano, and their voices fioated
out in a rollicking college song. In

Because I am engaged to him." said

WOLVES FEAR IRON.
A Piece of the Metal Will Keep the
Animals From Any Carcass.

,
Animals From Any Carcass.
In the early days wolves were CON-
paratively unsuspicious, and it was
easy to trap or poison them. Then
new knowledge, better comprehen-
sion of the modern dangers, seemed to
spread among the wolves. They learn
ed how to detect and defy the traps
and poison, and in some way the
knowledge was passed from one to an
other till all wolves were fully pos
Bessed of the information. How this
is done is not easy to say. 1t is easier
to prove that 1t is done. Few wolves
ever get into trap, fewer still get into
trap and out again, and thus they
learn that steel trap is thing to be
feared. And yet all wolves have the
knowledge, as every trapper knows,
and since they could not get it at first
hand they must have got IT second
hand-that is, the information was
communicated to them by others of
their kind.
1t is well known among hunters that
a piece of iron is enough to protect any
carcass from the wolves. If a deer
or antelope has been shot and is to be
left out overnight, all that is needed
for its protection Is an old horseshoe,
a spur or even any part of the hunt
er's dress. No wolf will go near such
suspicious looking or human tainted
things. They will starve rather than
approach the carcass so guarded.
With poison a similar change has
come about Strychnine was consid-
cred infallible when first it was intro
duced. 1t did vast destruction for a
time; then the wolves seemed to dis
cover the danger of that particular
smell and would no longer take the
poisoned bait, as know from number
less experiences.
1t is thoroughly well known among
the cattlemen now that the only chance
of poisoning wolves is in the late sum-
mer and early autumn, when the young
are beginning to run with the mother.
She cannot watch over all of them the
whole time, and there is chance of
some of them finding the bait and TAX
ing it before they have been taught to
let that sort of smell thing alone.
The result is that wolves are on the
increase. They have been, indeed,
since the late eighties. They have re-
turned to many of their old hunting
grounds in the cattle countries, and
each year they seem to be more nu-
merous and more widely spread, thanks
to their mastery of the new problems
forced upon them by civilization

Henry Ward Beecher used to tell
this story of the way in which his

Il was sent to the blackboard and

Compliments of Prudence Conway"
Prudence was the colored maid on
the third floor of dormitory 10 OF the
summer school. To be chosen as a pet
by Prudence meant many privileges.
To the girl she liked she brought
unlimited towels, while some less
favored maiden might languish with
two a week, and now In providing
Betty Belle with materials for a mid
night spread Prudence showed evil
dence Of high regard
Betty Belle was from the south,
hence her name. There had been two
aunts beloved by her mother, and the
little girl had been called after them
always Betty Belle wondered why
the northern girls thought 1t funny.

Betty Belle blushed. You are pretty,

Drusilla shook her head. Not in the

The scholars of the summer school
ate at an adjoining boarding house,
and at the lunch table that day Betty
Belle told about the chicken sand

There were four men at the table

A DESERT SANDSTONE.
Experience OF Woman Traveller
While Crossing Sahara.

While Crossing Sahara.
What it means to encounter a sand
storm in the desert of Sahara is de-
scribed by Mrs. Palmer Thomas: Few
things bring such sense of utter
powerlessness as n desert sandstorm,
and l shall never forget my experience
of one. Our dragoman one day sudden.
ly called our attention to a darkening
horizon line. 'See,' he said; 'sandstorm

der, drawing the folds of the blanket.
like stuff tightly over me. The wise
beast. knowing what was coming,
turned her long neck right round and
laid her head on my knees, seeking the
protection of my cloak for her eyes
against the sand, which, driven by the
fury of the wind, struck the face like
powdered glass.
But looked out upon the scene as
long as | could, watching what appear
ed to be mass of brown gauze wells
streaming up across the sky, darkening
the sunlight and gradually blotting out
everything from our sight. An icy
wind preceded the cloud, increasing in
intensity every minute until the sound
of its roaring made ones own voice
inaudible. while the darkness became
that of densest night. And so we sat
silent in the noise and the blackness
until the hurricane abated. Then, look
ing out again, l saw the brownish
mass of cloud flying before the wind
away toward the Nile, some forty
miles distant, and the cloudless blue of
March sky in Egypt once more over
spread above us.
But the legs of our beasts were all
covered with the sand that had fallen,
and Notwithstanding my sheltered po-
sition the sand was lying on my dress
and hat and was thick upon us. For
some time we watched the brown
cloud losing itself in the immensity of
the desert, where the whitening bones
of animals tell with sad frequency of
the overwhelming fury of these sud
den tempests; then we mounted and
rode away."-Chicago News.
