A BOON TO SUFFERERS.

Attention is called to the "Miracu-
lous Catarrh Remedy" of DR.. Robert
Gray of Pichucalco, Chiapas, Mexico.
which is advertised on another page
of this paper DR.. Gray is a very old
American physician, who for the past
forty-two years has been engaged in
tropical practice. He is no quack and
he has no medicine to sell.
He is well known among the men,
bers of the medical profession in the
United States, where he has attained
an enviable reputation as talented
writer on medical subjects, many ply
sicians sending him money to secure
one or another of his special systems
of treating diseases. Hence 1t is GER
tain that his scientific and profession
al reputation would not permit him to
issue a prescription not having a
high grade of merit.

MINISTER A TRIFLE MIXED UP.
Consequently There Was an Awkward
Perhaps in Funeral Grafton.

II was at the funeral OF man who
had left his young and attractive help
meet a widow for the third time. At
the time of his death their clergyman
was away on European trip, and in
this emergency the Rev. DR.. Blank
was called upon.
A neighbor instructed him hastily
as to the admirable qualities of the
deceased, his benevolence. piety and
kind disposition, and gave him vari-
Gus points as to his family relations.
During the funeral discourse no out
s'der would have suspected that the
clergyman had not been a lifelong
friend OF the dead man. When, how
ever, he came to mention the widow
in his prayer. 1t was evident that his
data in regard to her had become a
trif1e confused. He said:
"And now we commend to thy care
this widowed handmade, who has been
bereaved again and again and again.
Then hesitating an instant, he added:

for Amos Boggs to carry pail after pail

orchard and across the henyard to the
kitchen, where Mrs. Boggs washed for
the family and a dozen or so of Gus

to enjoy questions.

this sort of things?" asked the elderly
person of wealth, on whose white
skirts Mrs. Boggs was then expanding
her energy and the heat of a heavy
iron.

He was very still after that. though
his eyes came back to her face. The
hands in hers grew chill, and she
stirred.
Il must call" she began, but he
shook his head ever SO little.
"Only you" His lips formed the
words she scarcely heard.
The stiffness crept on, and on, over
all the room, over the face before
her, into her own heart-the stiffness
that was death. Only once his lips
moved; 1t was to frame the old child
name, "Moppett."
The shaft of brilliance crept down
from the gemmed arrow. down through
the stiffness, touched Gideon's night

Esther rose, wondering at such a
fancy at such moment; wondering
II she ought to leave him. In a second
she was back. Even as she went, she
tossed her hair loosely on top of her
head. as Gideon had liked II, and shot
the glittering shaft through.
He watched her with fond eyes as
she came to the bed and knelt down.
You are very beautiful, Moppett."
he whispered, as she took his hands
again in hers.
Long he gazed into her face.
She kissed him ON cheek and fore
head, at last lightly on the lips.
"Minel Mine for this hour" he said
with breath of his old passion. His
eyes grew deep and darker with their
strange, cryptic fash. "Oh, Start" he
whispered; Il tried" He lifted his
eyes TO the ceiling and whispered
