A Cool Wick.
A -few days ago a utan named Wilkes
Burnett arrived in Montreal and
registered as from Toronto. He
spent money as though he were many
tunes a millionaire. Wednesday night
he entered a bar and called for a
cigar, .which be lighted. from the blaze
of es five dollar bill. •
Mr. Reynolds is a dealer in horses.
at Parry Sound, and on 22ndinst. he
received $5,000 from the Dominion
Bank on a check - which he held for
that, amount. Be got the $5,000 in
five bills of $1,000 each. In his pocket
were $60 insix tens.
Wilkes Burnett, who hails from St.
Marys, had done some business for
Reynold, and $50 was due to him.
Reynolds handed him what bethought
was five tens on the night of the 22nd,
but .when he examined the money in
his pocket he discovered that one of
the ten dollar bili e which be paid was
nothing more nor less than one of his
$L000.
Burnett took a train an hour after
he got the money. Reynolds 'learned
that Burnett had arrived in Montreal.
The matter was placed in the hands
of a detective, who soon got on the
track of his man.
Burnett afterwards turned up and
met Reynolds. Burnett, returned $460,
saying that hehad spent the balance
except $10. which he Deeded, Late that
night they visited a well-known resort,
where Reynolds became very in
toxicated next morning he awoke,
and upon looking through his pockets
found that every cent of bi money
was gone. Burnett had not only tak-
en beck the .$460, but the other $4,000,
with the exception of about$90, which
had been spent in the hunt for him-
self. Thus the amonnt of motley taken
was only $80 short of $5,000. Burnett,
it is believed made across the line.

called From the Command In Crete -
The Crisis Approaching,
London, May 3. -The chief points of in-
terest in the situation to -night are:
First, that the decision of the Ministers
who have returned from the Greek fron-
tier seems to be In favor of a continuance ot
the war; and, second, that fighting; con -
tinned almost incessantly at VelestIno from
last Tuesday until Sunday, with the result
that General Smolensk' has been prevented
from actually assuming his new duties as
chief of staff.
As a further result the Greeks at Voles,
Unto have managed to retain their positions.
but they are too much fatigued to Mon
up their suceess.
Altogether, 14 officers have been recalled
from Crete to be sent on to Thessaly, and
this also is a proof of the Intention of the
new Cabinet to continue the war. The
movement Is actuated by necessity. All
the best officers are being sent to the front:
nor is there any intention yet displayed to
evacuate Crete.
The Turkish army is advancing in three
columns on Pharsalos, while an additional
column is operating in the direction of Volo.
As the Volo column could easily take Ve-
lestino In the rear, the Greek position is
very precarious. This probably explains
the retention of. General Smoienski there,
as it was natural to expert him to go to
Pharsalos to assume the supreme cona-
mend. Everything points to an inevitable
retreat by the Greeks on Domokos,
Greek Mistakes
London, May 3. -The correspondent of
The Daily Mall at Arta says:
"One of the worst mistakes the Greeks
have made has been the casual and inter.
mittent character of the attack upon Pre-

Greeks meant businteat in Epirus. To
capture so :Arcing a place by the means
adopted was quite itupo.ssibie and now the
opportunity is lost altogether. Instead 01

that the Greeks in Epirus have no alter-

Children
One-third of all the children
die before they are five years
o.d. Most of them die of some
wasting disease. They grow
very slowly; keep thin in flesh;
are fretful; food does not do
them much gocd. You can't
say they have any disease, yet
they never prosper. A slight

The story of Mr. William V. Rose„

storing Power of • Dr. 'Williams'
Pink Pills. .
From the Orangeville Banner. •
There is no doubt at all that ninny
people are 'prejudiced againstpropriet-
ary medicines, and equally no doubt l
Many look upon the testintouials pub- I
fished as much in the nature of an ex- '
aggerated puff. If the Banner has
been tinctured with this feeling it has,
so far as one medicine is concerned,
had its doubts removed. We refer to.
Di. Williams' Pink • Pills, concerning i
the curative qualities of svhich strong
claims have beeu made, and proofs
advanced in their support which
seemed equally strong. .But it is
when one comes across in their own
locality a case almost rivaling any that
has been made public, that doubt
disappears and conviction follows.
Such a case the Banner came across
and investigated and now gives the
facts. The case is that of Miss Sarah
Langford, an estimable young lady
who resides in the neighborhood of
Camilla. We are told she had been
brought near to death's door and had
been restored to health through the
agency of Dr. William's Pink Pills.
We decided, however, to cast hearsay
aside and investigate for ourselves.
We found Miss Langford the picture
of health and good spirits, at her
pleasant home in Camilla. In response
to our inquiries as to her illness and
the cause of her recovery, ehe ex-
pressed her willingness to satisfy our
curiosity, and as she added, relate her
experience for the • good of others
afflicted as she .was. Her story very
briefly, was as follows:. -
"I had la grippe in the Spring of
1894, I did not seem to get over the
effects of the attack, and as the sum-
aner progressed became weak and
-listless. Alas= kind of work became .a
burden to me. After pumping a pail
of water from the well, I would have
to stand and bold rhy hands my heart
for a moment or so, it would flutter.
so violently. I could not go upstairs
with difficulty, and towards the last
would have to rest on the steps, and
when I got to the top, lie down until
I could recover my breath. I became
a.mere skeleton, my cheeks were like
%MX and my lips colorless. I lost all
appetite and mymeals often went
untested. Medicine seemed to have
no effect upon nict. I was getting
weaker all the time, and at last be-
gan to give up hope of recovery: My
parents were of course in great distress
and I knew by the looks and actions
of friends who called to see n3e that
they thought I was doomed to an
early death. Then it dear lady died
and I managed out of love for her to
drag myself to her funeral. The
sensation Of seeing her laid away,
believing that 1 would soon follow her,
was a strange one. Shortly after this
