on Thursday last, The boy was in
his usual health on the Monday pre-

was possible, but to no avail, and he
was taken away as above stated. Mil-

the loss of a bright scholar, His for-

spected have the sincere sympathy of
the residents of Ws township and
vicinity in their irreparable loss.

A Useful Member,
There is no member of the house
who brings in More useful bills than
Mr. E. N. Lewis, M.P. Unfortunate-
ly,' being on the opposition side his
work is principally educative, as the
government usually • kills then off on
the scere ,of being "premature," or
for sumo other ' reason. His latest
proposal is a bill to amend the Immi-
gration act by preventing the expos-
ure for sale of revolvers and knives.
While . the intention is to discourage
the belief among newly arrived immi-
grants that the carrying of these wea-
pons is permitted in Canada, such an
enactment would be of general ben-
efit to every community. It is a
strange thing • that, in a law abiding
country such as this, there is scarce-
ly a hardware storeor a •pawnbrok-
er's shop 'whose windows' are not a
miniature arsenal of pocket:revolvers
and sheath. knives. Considering that
none but hunters have any. legitimate
use for sheath knives, and: that -no-
body issupposed to carry revolvers
except the police, the preminenee giv-
en to these articles in shop windows
is most misleading, . and is no 'doubt
responsible for tempting young Cana -
dins • and .foreigners to purchase and
carry nein, .who will otherwise nev-
er. think ' of it. • Another encour-
agement •'is afforded by the almost
nominal punishment meted .out in the
police court's. to persons round guilty
of carrying •concealed weapons. In
any • city or town in Canada the c•ar-
rying of a loaded revolver or a
sheath knife •should be sefilcient to
convict a defendant of criminal in-
tent. •• They are not necessary for de-
fence, aed therefore must be carried
for •purposes•or offence. As a rule
:they. are found on • the persons
of roughs or criminals who havo been
arrested on other charges, which
makes the .prohibitions still more
binding, and. they should be given the
limit of the law, instead of beaig
let oft with the Confiscation of the
weapon • or a comparatively small
fine,—Ottawa Citizen.
From a Shadow
to Robust Health
-Is— the— Change-L•Dree -Pink-
Pills Made in ae fNew Bruns-
wick Woman.
Anaemia—bloodlessness—is a trouble
confined largely •to women and
growing girls. Its victims are pale;
they lose all strength—the least ex-
ertion greatly fatigues • them and
they, suffer continually from head-
aches and depressed spirits, Nothing
will cure, anaemia so quickly or. so
surely as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—
they, have cured thousands of cases,
the whole world. They do this be-
cause they make good blood. Among
those .cured brthese pills is Mrs. T.
not only in Canada but •throughout
Chalmer Hartley, East Florenceville,
N.B., who says : "At the age,of Si)C-
tecit I fell away to a there shadow
I had scarcely any blood and suflered
from all the distressing symptoms of
anaemia. Doctors did not help me
in the least, and acting on the advice
of a friend I began taking Dr. Wile
Ienin's Pink Pills. They effected a
remarkable', change in my condition;
indeed I really believe they saved re,y,
life, as I lhave been well and strong
ever since I took them. 1 also re-
eommended the Pills to a neighbor's
daughter who was similarly run
down, and they also completely re-
stored her heelth,"
Every woman and growing girl
should take Dr. Williams' Piffle Pills
occasionally., If you are ailing from
any of the many troubles which af-
diet your sex they will cure you ; if
you are not ailing they will protect
your health and keep you well and
strong. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills aro
sold by all dealers in medicine Or
