 At 8 c. m., the black cloak-the

 The execution was over quickly. As Kels stepped on the trap. the rope loop was thrown over his neck and he flashed smile at the 40 wit nesses.
 The black hood was placed over his suddenness. A barely perceptible
 tremor ran over Kels' body. A priest from the scaffold above constantly intoned prayer.

I tell all my friends that the change in my health is due to but one thing and that is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I Icannot praise it enough.

 The reason for such a letter from Mrs. Young Is apparent. She got well and is grateful. Recently nation wide canvass of women purchasers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made, and 98 ont of 100 reported that they received ben- eft from taking it.
 Because the Vegetable Compound has been helping other women is req ann why it should help you.

 The municipal cemetery was under water and those burials necessary had
 to be conducted in temporary heio on the rise. The eight-mtle prairie that stretches between Alfortville, Villeneuve and St. Georges Is covered as though a lake.
 Extraordinary scenes reminiscent of the war zone during the World war, were enacted on the edge of the floods at Ivry. Families fled, carrying baby carriages, carts and mattresses. Soldiers and sailors fer ried refugees across swollen streams that flowed where streets had been. Trucks were yun to the waters edge and took away what they could. In all 400 families were evacuated

Four hundred houses are partly under water at Nogent, 1,60o at Champigny, 1000 at Bry-Sur-Marne and 1900 at Perreux.

April was smiling, smiling, and
c%huckling and laughing and Mother
Nature said to her:
april, why are you smiling and
chuckling and laughing as though you
had something up your sleeve, as the
saying is?"
"Ah, Mother Nature, l have a little
last prank TO play on the people.
Eyes, | have another little joke be-

comes dancing along with her sunny,
fiowery dress and the blossoms in her
hair.
Eyes, just one little joke has April
before then. And tomorrow is my
time"
you haven't a great deal of time"
said Mother Nature, for tomorrow Is
your last day for this year.
If you do not have your little joke
very soon you will have. to wait a
whole year"
"Ah yes, l know" said April. "But
l will have time for my joke"
Are you going to tell Mother Ma;
ture what it is?'
Come close, so l a whisper" April
Said.
And Mother Nature bent close to
April and 1t seemed as though there
was a feeling in the air of perfume and
of sunshine and of showers all blended
together.

ture said, when April had finished.
Yes" said April; II thoughtaFd haze
