BUT IT WAS ALMOST SOLVED. An American Visitor In the Republic, Who Wanted to Know About Its President, Finally Came Near Get- ting the Information He Craved. Switzerland is, a republic that rens with the exactness of a Swiss watch, its machinery as hermetically conceal- ed. I had heard that the Swiss repub- lic set the pattern of government for the world, and I, was anxious to know something of its methods and person- nel. I was sorry that I was so ignorant I didn't even know the name of the Swiss president and for a week was ashamed to confess it. I was hoping I might see it in one of the French papers I puzzled over every evening, but at the end of the week I timidly and apologetically inquired of our friendly landlord as to the name of the Swiss president. But then came a shock. Our land- lord grew confused, blushed and con- fessed that he didn't know it either. He had known it, he said, of course, but it had slipped his mind. Slipped his mind! Think of the name of Roosevelt or Wilson or Taft slipping the mi'nd of anybody in America—and a landlord! I asked the man who sold me cigars. $e had forgotten too. I asked the apothecary, but got no information. I was not so timid after that. I asked a fellow passenger—guest, I mean—an American, but of long Swiss residence, and got this story. I be- lieve most of it. He said: "When I came to Switzerland and found out what a wonderful little country it was, its government so eco- nomical, so free from party corruption and spoils, from graft and politics, so different from the home life of our own dear Columbia, I thought, 'The man at the head of this thing must be a master hand; I'll find out his name.' So I picked out a bright looking subject and said, 'What is the name of the Swiss president?' "He tried to pretend he didn't under- stand my French, but he did, for I can tear the language off all right—learned it studying art in Paris. When I pinned him down he said he knew the name well enough, parfakement, but couldn't think of it at that moment.. "That was a surpris, but I asked the next man. He couldn't think of it either. Then I asked a police officer. Of course he knew it all right, 'Oh, oui, certainement, mais' — then he scratched his head and scowled, but he couldn't dig up that name. IIe was just a plain liar—tout simplement— Iike the others. "I asked every man I met, and every one of them knew it, had it right on the end of his tongue, but somehow it seemed to stick there. Not a man in Vevey on Montreux. could tell me the name of the Swiss president. It was the same in Fribourg, the same even in Berne, the capital. "I had about given up when one even- ing in Berne I noticed a sturdy man with an honest face approaching. He looked intelligent, too, and as a last re- sort I said, 'Could you by any chance tell me the name of'the Swiss presi- dent?' "Tile effect was startling. He seized me by the arm and, atter looking up and down the street. leaned forward and whispered iu my ear: "'Mon Dietl: Cost moi! I am the Swiss president; bit—ah, non, don't tell any one. I nin the only man in Switzerland who knows it. "'You see: my friend continued, 'lye is elected privately; no torchlight cam- paigns, 110 scuudel, and only for a year.' "Ile is only a sort of c•hnirmau, though of course Itis work is im;)or- tant. end the present able incumbent has been (leered n uuuil;rr of ticu's. His name is—is—is--• .111. yes, that's my tram.

Oh.:ldren Cry FOR FLETCHER'S Died From Terror. Perhaps the most remarkable death from fear was that of the Dutch paint- er I'entman, who lived ie the seven- teenth century. One day he went into a room full of anatomical subjects to sketch some death's heads and skele- tons for a picture the intended to paint.

THE SHADOW OF BROKEN HEALTH Can Be Quickly Dispelled Through the Use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. When the shadow of poor health fol- lows your life; when hope begins to fade and friends look serious, then is the time you should remember that thous- ands just as hopeless have been cured and restored to the sunshine of health by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills actually make new, rich blood which brings a glow of health to anaemic cheeks; cures indigestion, headaches and backaches, drives out stinging pains of rheumatism and neuralgia, strengthens the nerves and relieves as no other medicine can do the aches and pains from which womenfolk alone suffer. In any emergency of poor health give Dr. Williams' Pink Fills a fair trial and they will not disappoint you. Here is a case that will bring hope to many a weary sufferer. Mrs. E. C. Taylor, Ascot Ave,, Toronto, says: "A few years ago I was so run down with anameia that I could scarcely walk about the house, and was not able to leave it. I had no color; my appetite was poor and I was constantly troubled with headaches, dizzy spells and general disinclination to move about or do any- thing. I tried many medicines, but none of them helped me, and my friends thought I was in a decline. One day friend who was in to see me asked : ' I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pill I had heard of this medicine oft • but had not used it, so I determin .. to give it a trial. I certainly get .' pleasant surprise, for after using o boxes I could feel an improvemein my con- dition. Continuing the use of these pills I began to regain my health, the headaches and dizzy spells were dis- appearing, and I began to gain in weight. People began enquiring what I was taking and I was not slow to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the credit. I took the pills for less than two months, and completely regained my old time health and strength. I hope my ex- perience may convince some doubting person as to the great merit of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as 1 certainly have cause to he a firm champion of them." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. When the Cat Was Sacred. In the middle ages brute animals formed as prominent a Hart in the (10- votional ceremonies of the time as they had in the old religion of Egypt. The cat Aelurus was embalmed after death and buriedd in the city Of Bubas - tis because, according to U'erodotusy Diana l3ubastis, the chief deity of the place, was said to have transformed herself into a cat when the gods fled into Egypt. A11 things come to those who wait, but It takes a lifetime to prove the truth of tliiis. 11L'TH, A very pretty but quiet wedding was solemnized at eleven o'clock a. nt. in the Methodist Church on Tuesday, October 17th, when Miss Lela, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Begley, became the wife of Mr. John H.

The newly wedded couple left on the 2 40 afternoon train for Toronto and other points east, the bride wearing a suit of cream broadcloth with Reboux model tounet- hat. The bride, who was one of Blyth's popular young ladies, was the recipient of many beautiful gifts. monists. Wednesday, Oct. 11th, the matri- monial knot was tied at Melville Church Manse, by Rev. A. J. Mann, between William A. King. of Alma, Ont., and Miss Ellen, youngest daughter of ,James and Mrs. Evans, 71h line, Mortis.
