DREADED ATAXIA
What Active Treatment With
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Accomplished in a
Recent Case,

Mr.. Francis M. Poole, a harness maxi.
or, of Garvin, Lyon Co., Mimi, says:
'My illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains all through my limbs. At
first thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting more and moro
severe and grew steadily worse. Later
q numbness came over my feet. It
gradually extended up my legs to my
spine and waist. By this time had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and 1
lost all control of them. At this stage

OUT UNDER THE STARS
After He Had Told Helen Whole
Truth.
Rv 6. e. kiSER.

For three hours Helen Sibley had
been waiting at Northport Junction.
Luckily the evening was pleasant, so
that she was not compelled to sit in
the stuffy, dingy little station. There
was juss one pretty thing about North
port Junction, and that was Helen. II
the train for which she was waiting
ever came and ever departed again,
Northport Junction would resume it's
habit of being about as unlovely .
spot as one might find within the tenn
perate zone.
While Helen remained the place
would possess one attraction that
would have lent distinction to a far
more important and far more splon-
did center OF activity than the juno
ton was ever likely to become.
The operator.in the bay window that
jutted out into the point of land be-
tween the branching tracks evidently
had an eye for beauty as well as an
ear for Morse. AS Helen walked up
and down the platform he watched her
and became thoughtful. He wonder
ed why it was that nature bestowed
her gifts SO lavishly upon Some girls
and treated others SO shabbily. The
beauty that Helen possessed might
have made a dozen plain girls fair if
it had been distributed among them.
Such was the operators reasoning.
The operator at Northport Junction
was a philosopher.
But Helen was not thinking of phil
osophy, and if she had noticed that the
operator was eagerly watching her the
fact neither added to her pleasure
nor caused her annoyance. For some
reason she was thinking of Tom Har
low Perhaps it was because of the
loneliness of her surroundings. 1t
wac nearly a year since she had re-
fused TO listen when Tom had said that
he could "exIEain everything in GOOD
time and for months she had thought
that she was never going to have any
interest in him again.
Thinking of Tom naturally caused
her to think Of Mrs. Danforth, the pref
ty, young grass-widow who had come
between them. There was something
mysterious about Mrs. Danforth. Peo-

Persistent Rains Cause Bishop of
Chester to Revive an Old
Question.

London.-This is the month of the
harvest festival, but as every crop
in the country has been seriously
damaged, If not ruined, by the per-
sistent rains, it is not surprising that
a bishop has raised the question Of
Ought we pray for fine weather."
In a letter to the rural deans Of his
diocese the bishop of Chester dis
cusses the appropriateness of harvest
festivals in such season, says Lon
don letter.
''The persistent rains which have
damaged our crops" says the bishop,
cannot but revive the old questions.
In such year is it wise to hold
harvest festivals? Can we expect
farmers to give special thanks when
they have so little to be thankful for?'
With our greatly enlarged knowledge
of meteorology, what reason or real
ity is there in praying for changes of
weather."

PRAYER AND THE WEATHER

He suggests that there is sounder
piety in accepting submissively sun
shine and rain, even when they seem
unreasonable and excessive. The pc
tition, "Give us this day our daily
bread" necessarily involves prayer
for seasonable weather, and Doctor
Jayne submits that 1.-The thinA
most needful is habitual prayer
for seasonable weather" He main
tains that people should be slow in
asking for changes of weather, as we
can see but a little way ahead. and

exist on a salary that wouldn't decent
ll,7 keep a city laborer's family.
While doubtless many church organ
izations have been thoughtlessl cruel
in not paying their pastors as much
as they could, of course in general
the main trouble is that they can't
afford to pay more. In a village Of
4 1000 people there is adequate support
for one pastor: but when four or five
separate church organizations try to
support four or five churches and four
or five pastors, the available support
is diluted SO thinly that hardship for
all is inevitable.
All honor to the unselfish nobility of
the country pastors who have braved
hardship and deprivation, who have
faced at times almost starvation, who
have denied themselves comforts and
Injuries which their abilities would
have secured them in pursuits more
selfish, in order that they might de-
vote their lives to the service of God
and humanity.
And the quicker the church organi-
cations of the nation get around to lift
the country pastors out of the coil of
poverty and debt to which their unset
fish devotion and the selfish neglect of
others have condemned them, the
sooner justice will be done.

THE PAY OF RURAL PASTORS

A movement was recently started in
one of the Protestant denominations
to increase the pay of rural pastors.
The object is to increase the mini
mum salary of pastors to $3.50, with
the ultimate purpose of making the
minimum $1,000 in 1913
No figures are available showing
the average pay of ministers in the
country districts and small commune
ties, but the fact that it is proposed to
increase" the minimum to $3.50 shows
that the average now must be pretty
low
1t has been shown pretty conclusive
" that a Workingman's family cannot
exist comfortably and do justice to it's
members on wages less than $500 or
$500 a year. This is based ON the city
scale Of living, Of course, and living is
cheaper in the country. The country
pastor can keep a COW, can cultivate
a garden, an dotherwise contrive to
{ live Within the compass Of the small
salary paid him. But il he and his
family live on his salary, that's
about all they do. It would be more
accurate to call it existing.
There are, Of course, far greater de.
mands upo nthe pastor than upon the
nottingham; and this difference will
much more than Offset the difference
in cost Of living between city and
country. The pastor must have edu-
cation and though the workingman
should also have education It Is not
so vitality esse entail The pastor must
dress neatly at all times, and the
workingman can work IN coarse,
cheap clothing. The pastor must have
books and magazines, and though the
workingman also should have books
and magazines they are not exactly
