The summer was at its height when
the Widow Stebbins asked Ezra if he
would kindly take calf down to the
Darrow farm, half a mile below the
village.
The old timer dropped his work at
once and appeared at the Stebbins
domicile, where he haltered the calf,
and after wrapping one end of the
rope around his wrists, started
through the village on his mission.
Everybody knew that animal belong

also known that none other than Ezra
Grubbs could have obtained the honor
of conducting the Jersey to its des-
tination.
Old Ezra looked rather proud of
himself and his charge as he turned

Fire Record for Last Year,

The fact that when servant be.
comes master cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss of life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
IL months covered by summing up
of these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives were
lost and more than s5OO,OOO,OOO worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake in
San Francisco, this loss was in great
excess of the average, but the average
for some years past has been $780,
100000 year.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near
ly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be SO, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila. lady said, the other day:
"My husband and have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, a good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals.
I'VE tried doctors and patent medi-
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars, with little il any benefit.
"Accidentlly. small package of
Postum came into my hands. made
some according to directions, with sur
prising results. We both liked 1t and
have not used any coffee since.
"The dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way.
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend 1t to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee" Name given

For Anaemla and Safe Family
Medicine.
When the body becomes run down,
either as q result of overwork, worry
or a severe illness, an examination OF
the blood would show it to be weak
and watery. This condition is called
anaemic, which is the medical term
for "bloodless." The common symp-
toms are palepess of the lips, gums
and cheeks, shortness of t~rsth and
palpitation of the heart after the
slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss
of appetite.

Street in a Cloud of Dust.

of dust, which as it lifted for brief
moment showed the calf rearing and
plunging, while Ezra Grubbs was be-
ing dragged toward the Darrow farm
like a Roman captive at the end of
a runaway chariot.
Now for a moment the old man
would be on his feet, and now again
on the ground, but he never relin-
quished his hold on the rope, and the
plunging calf could not escape. Those
who listened heard repetition of
words that carried them back to the
day when Ezra tried to check the
runaway team, and at last. when he
had succeeded in wrapping the rope
around the village pump, and thus
stopped the brainless calf, he supple
mented his previous expressions with
others that sent a cold chill through
the crowd.
1T was a team o hosses the other
time; now it's a calf" said Miranda.
II tell ye, Susan, the Lord works
in mysterious ways tew let us know
that we can't depend on all people.
The evil spirit was in Ezra Grubbs
all along, an it only took that calf
tew bring it out. This is the second
time, an is backslidin must not be
overlooked. 1t was in 'im!"
When Ezra came back from the
barrow farm, bedraggled and dusty,
he stepped into the young pastors
study, and mopped his parchment
! brow as he said: t'Scratch my name
off the books, Brother Sedley. II was
a calf this time, an l don't know
what it may be mex time. I'm goin'
tew find out who footed that horn in
Bascoms store, though I've good
idee, an then yen see a fight that will
les lay old Armageddon in the shade
The rest O. my life III pursue my
own way through the Valley O. the
Shadder.
And the old man walked from the
pastors house, and throwing the rope
into Widow Stebbins yard. walked
silently to his little shop, where he
took the framed certificate of mem
bership in the Methodist church, and
with a sigh ts~zed it to the wall
