Exeter Times, 1909-02-25, Page 6YOUNG FOLKS W1'AYSIDE FRIE:NDS. A tortoise -shell cat lay basking in the sun on t he ware) bank un- « er the edar hedge. It was the fleet bright day after a long, cold storm, and she felt the sun warm her poor old bones, and stretched herself on the fragrant cedar twigs that made a thick carpet on the bank, and purred. She was old and ragged, but one saw that she had been a fine cat in her time. Presently there came along a kitten ; and when tho old catlook- ed, Ole 1•a•,v that it was a tortoise- shell kitten, and her heart warmed to it. "('orale and 'sit here," she said. "Your fur sill soon dry in this sunshine, and wo can talk to- gether." So the kitten, who was wetand draggled from sleeping in wet leaves, same.and sat down on the rank, and for sonic time the two linked and purred in silence. "Tramping]" asked tho cat. "Yes," said the kitten. "Poor work!" said the cat. "I have been at it for sonic years now, and I have had enough. Now I am going to try for a. home in this house. I have watched it, for sev- eral days. They have fish often, and the cook is good-natured and careless. I think it will be a good place for me to end my days in." "That sounds pleasant.," said the kitten. "1 ani rather tired myself, and have a. lameness in one toe." "Two are better than one," said the cat. "We should do well to- gether, for you have more spring in the joints, and I moro wits in the head. Let us bo partners]" They agreed, and the old eat bade the kitten go in first to the house. "Dance and play and make yourself agreeable," she said. "I will attend to the rest." So the kitten watched her chance and when the door Was opened she ran into the house, and danced and ,played and made herself agree- able. Tho people said. "Oh, what a dear little kitten! Wo must keep her, because she is so young and merry." And they kept the kit- ten and made much of her. By and by the old cat came in, and she dragged ono foot after an- other and moaned, and seemed very miserable. And tho people said, "Oh, what a poor, forlorn old cat 1 We must really keep her, be- cause sho is so old snd feeble." So they kept her, too, and made much of her, and every one sup- posed that the two were mother and child. Tiro went on, and both 'cats grow fat and handsome. Ono day the mistress of the house said, "We must got rid of ono of these cats. They catch nothing, and they eat a, great deal, for the cook is careless." "Why not get rid of the cook 1" asked the master, for he liked the cabs. But the mistress said that would not bo convenient. Then one said.

It is useless to tell a hard work- ing woman to take life easily and not to worry. But it is the duty of every woman to save her strength as much as possible ; to take her cares as lightly as may be and to build up her system to meet any unusual demands. It, is her duty to herself and to her family, for her future health depends upon it. To guard against a complete bretakdow•n in health the blood must be kept rich and red and pure. No other medicine does this FO well as 1)r. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. This medicine actually makes now, red blood, strengthens the nerves, restores the appetite and keeps every organ healthily toned up. Women can- not always rest when they should, but they can keep their strength and keep disease away by the oc- casional use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which have done more to lighten the cares of weak women than any other medicine. Mrs. James II. Ward, Lord's Cove, N. 13., says:—"About two years ago I suffered so much from nervous prostration that I was little better than a helpless wreck. I suffered from headaches and a constant feeling of dizziness. The least unusual move would startle mo and set my heart palpitating violently. I had little or no ap- petite and grew so weak that I was hardly able to drag myself about, and could not do my housework. In every way I was in a deplorable condition. As the medicine I had been taking seemed to do me no good, my •husband got asupply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had only been taking the Pills for a couple of weeks when I seemed to feel somewhat better and this en- couraged mo to continue the treat- ment. Froin that on my strength gradually but surely returned, and in the course of afew more weeks I was once more a well woman, able to do my own housework, and feeling better than I had done for years. I have since remained well and I feel that I owe my good health to the healing power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Every other weak, sickly, worn out woman should follow the ex- ample of Mrs. Ward and give Dr. Williams' fink Pills a fair trial. These fills will send new blood coursing through tho veins and bring brightness and energy to the weak and despondent..

Be has made horoscopes, so to speak, of the dates of all the great seismic disturb- ances in history and he says he finds that on almost every occasion the globe has at such times been un- der very unusual strains owing to the position of the sun, moon, and planets. If two or perhaps four of the earth's more powerful celestial neighbors happen to bo on exactly opposite sides at the same time their strong powers of attraction tend to draw the globe into the shape of an clipse. If soon after. owing to the revolution of the earth or other change of position, the same strain is applied at right ang- los to the first the disturbing effect upon the terrestrial structure is multiplied. Mr. ferret calculated in advance that this process would occur during the month of Decem- ber three successive times with greater power than had happened for many years.

BABY'S OW1 TABLETS A BLESSING TO CHILDREN 1. medicine that will keep babies and young children plump and gond natured, with a clear eye and rosy skin is a blessing not only to the little ones, but to mothers as well. Baby's Own Tablets is just such a medicine. They cure all the minor ailments of children and make them eat well, sleep well and play well. Thousands of mothers use the Tablets and praise them.

They Are Just Like Ordinary Child- ren, Not Like Princes of Tradition. No children are loved by more persons than the royal children of England. This is not only because they stand for the future of Lag - land's throne but also because they aro good examples of normal Eng- lish childhood. The Prince and Princes of %Vales have arranged most carefully the training both mental and physicial of the six youngsters and have im- pressed upon all who are near the children in any capacity the need for simplicity of manner, dress and life. The consequence has been that they aro far from being the delicate spoiled royal children of history. Princess Mary is the only girl in the family, and is the leader in all sports, games, mischief and fun. Princess Mary, who is 11, is not pretty, her features being irregular, but she has the charm of healthy childhood added to an expression of animation which would make her noticeable even if she were not a Princess. A MOP OF YELLOW CURLS wave around her rosy face. Hav- ing a quick wit and a keen mind she manages to hold her own in the lessons which she takes with her TREE RENDS A TOMB. Striking Int tanee of the Great Power of Vegetation. A correspondent of the Edin- burgh Scotsman calls attention to a curious instance of the mechani- cal power of vegetation in the out of the way churcuyard of Towle, in Hertfordshire. A tree, which has been divided into two or three stain sterns, grows straight out of the tomb of a noble dame who departed this life two centuries ago, and has rent her gloomy home into pieces. Strangest sight of all, it has wrapped itself round the iron railing which used to guard the grave, and which is thus now almost entirely concealed inside the tree. People come from far and near to see the wonderful sight, and to them is told astory that the quiet inhabitant of this disrupted sepul- chre was in her day a lady of very free thinking opinions, and had said she would have placed above her remains a tomb that no per- son could read. CHIPPED FROM FINGERS TO ELBOWS. Boy's Agony Relieved by lass -Bak. If you are suffering from badly - chapped handsou will be able to comprehend a little of the agony which Henry Walker, of 14 Manu- fucturorers Street, Montreal, en- dured before Zain-Buk gave bim relief. His mother, telling of the case to a Press representative, said :— "Henry works with his shirt sleeves rolled up above his elbows, brother Albert. and passing from a warm room to the biting cold, as he was obliged Brought up almost entirely with to do, he got the worstcase of her five brothers, she has no girl chapped hands and arms I have ever seen. From his fingers to his elbows was ono mass of raw flesh, with bad cracks here and there. Whenever he washed, it brought tears to his eyes, the pain was so acute.

She can play good cricket also, and she has even tried a bout at football in Windsor Park.

The fact that some day he will be a King does not seem to weigh upon him heavily. In fact lie is as merry and light hearted a youngster as can be found anywhere. He is devoted to animals and has A WHOLE MENAGERIA of pets, and woe to the man or wo- man whom Prince Edward happens to sco ill treating a horse or dog. Ho entered Osborn College as a pupil over a year ago, and is popu- lar with his classmates not because he is a Prince but in spite of it. As one smell Osbornian was heard to say, "Well, he's a jolly good chap if ho is a Prince." English colleges are very democ- ratic and the son of a prince of the royal blood or a marquis or vis- count is just. plain boy when he goes to school. Prince Edward is not a brilliant scholar, but he is a hard worker and will no doubt finish his course at Osborn with honors. Albert, the second boy. is 13 and studies at home with his sister and younger brothers, but he will go to boarding school shortly. Ile is rather graver in tempernmeet and quieter than Prince Edward, but like him he loves animals and excels in outdoor sports. ALBERT AND MARY are inseparable companions, and though Edward still occupies the important position of big brother in the family his absence from home has raised Albert to that rank in the children's circle except at holi- day time. Henry, the third boy, is 9 and is a great reader and fond of bis stud- ies. l'rince George is 7 and has learned to ride a pony like a lad considerably older. Itis lesson hours are fewer and his recrea- tions are more varied than those of the others. Tin soldiers have not yet lost their charms for him and sailing boats in the lake at Windsor remains a joy. John, the hahy, is 314 and is hav- ing his first lessons in horseman- ship. He is a handsome, manly little chap, and he is of course the pet of his brothers and sister. + AN OATH OF SiLENCE. in certain districts of North- West America and in West Au- stralia there aro women who take an oath to retrain silent after the death of their husbands. in some cases they will remain mute for two years after tho funeral, and very often the oath is kept also by the another and mother-in-law of the deceased.

Doctors Could Not Cure His Dropsy but Dodd's Kidney Pillet Cleared it out Completely. Maidstone, Sask., February 15 (Special).—"Cured me completely. That's what Dtxfei's Kidney Pig!-- did fur ale." Such is the state rnent made by Thomas Moon, a well-known resident of this place who for two years suffered with Dropsical Swellings brought on by diseased Kidneys. "I had pains in the small of my back," Mr. Moon continues, "and across the loins. The swelling commenced first in my legs and gradually got to my body. I tried different doctors but kept getting worse every day until I was swol- len up to an awful size. "One doctor sent Inc to the hos- pital where I got a little benefit, but tho swelling soon all cutnc back. "Then I used Dodd's Kidney Pills and, as I said before, they cured me completely." Dropsical Swellings are caused by diseased Kidneys failing to take the surplus water out of the blood.

Keep Course With Great Direct- ness, Guided by Sound. Just as some professional singers with magnificent voices never learn to sing in perfect tune, TO du the trainers of really find swimmers often find it impossible that teen with every quality for racing otherwise can be made or taught to swim even in an approximately straight line, says Loudon Tit - Bits. Many a splendid swimmer is beaten on this account, for his in- veterate habit of getting off his course naturally gives him a roundabout journey. 13ut the re- markable fact remains that blind swimmers—of whom there are in this country a considerable num- ber in connection with various in- stitutions for persons so afflicted— universally and without exception swim with marvellous dire.'tness; indeed, in as perfectly straight a lino as is humanly possible, even when the distance covered is very considerable. So much is this the case that Dr. Campbell, of the College for the Blind at Upper Norwood, who par- ticularly interests himself in the ,physical education of the blind and has noticed this curious fact, re- commends that swimmers who per- sistently foul each other on any course should practise experimen- tally when blindfolded Blind swimmers can, it appears, on hearing a noise in any given direction not only swim absolute- ly straight to the point whence the noise proceeds, but when left to themselves their steering is just as Repeat it:-"shtloh'eCure will always accurate. cure my coughs sad *olds."
