A TOUCHING STORY. I was sitting at my breakfast table one Sabbath morning.when I was called to my door by the rng of the bell. There stood a boy about 14 years of age, poorly clad, bet tidied up as best he could. He was lettning upon arutobes, one leg off at the knee. In a voice trembling with emotion, and tears coursing down his obeeke, he said :--"Mr. Hoagland, I am Freddy Brown. I 130.08 come to see if you will go to the jail and talk and pray with my father. He is to be hung to- morrow for the murder of my mother. My father was a good man, but whiskey did it. I have three little sisters younger than myself. We are very, very poor and have no friends. We live in a back alley in a dark and dingy room. I do the best I can to support my sisters by sel- ling papers, blacking boots and odd jobs ; but, Mr. Hoagland, we are awfully poor. Will you Dome and be with us when father's body is brought home ? The governor says we may have his body after he is hung." I was deeply moved to pity. I prom- ised and made haste to the jail, where I found this father. He acknowledged that he must have murdered his wife, for the circumstances pointed that way, but he bad not the slightest remembrance of the deed. He Mid be was crazed with drink or be never would have committed the crime. He said :—"My wife was a good woman and faithful mother to my little children. Neither did I dream that my hand could be guilty of such a crime." The man could face the penalty of the law bravely for bis deed, but he broke down and cried as if his heart would break when he thought of leaving his children in a destitute and friendless condition. I read and prayed with him and left him to his fate. The next morning I made my way to the miserable quarters of these children. I found three little girls upon a bed of straw in one corner of the room. They were clad in rags. They were beautiful girls had they had the proper care. They were expecting the body of their dead father, and between their °ries and their sobs they would say, "Papa was good, but whiskey did it." In a little time two strong officers came, bearing the body of the dead fa- ther in a rude pine box. They sat it down on two rickety old stools. The cries of the two children were so heart. rending that they could not endure it and made haste out of the room, leaving me alone with this terrible Beene. In a moment the manly boy nerved himself and said "Dome, sisters ; kiss papa's face before it is cold." They gath- ered about his face, smoothed is down with kisses, and between their sobs oried out : "Papa was good, but whiskey did it." "Papa was good, but whiskey did it." I raised my beart to God and said : "0 God, did I fight to save a country that would derive a revenue from a traf- fic that would make one Beene like this possible?" In my heart I said : "In the whole history of this accursed traffic there has not been enough revenve de- rived to pay for ono snap scene as this. The wife and mother murdered, the father hung, the obildren outraged, a home destroyed." 1 there promised my God that I would vote to save my coun- try from the rule of the rum oligarchy. I there promised that a political party should never again have my vote that was too cowardly to declare for absolute, uncompromising prohibition. Tiers is but one such party, and I vote that I may finish the work at the ballot box. A sys- tem of government that derived its rev- enue from results each a2 are seen in this touohing pioture must either ohange its course or die, unless God's law is a lie. 'Che Seven Provinces. British Columbia is the largest of the Provinces and embraces an area of 382,. 000 square miles. Prince Edward Island ie the smallest - 2,000. The smallest of the seven is the most densely populated, having e. little over 54 people to the square mile, while the largest is the most sparsely peopled, with a little over three square miles to each person.

One of the most popular officers at the reoent meeting of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Canada was Rev. L. A. Betts, of Brookville, Greed Chaplain for 1803- 04. While on his way to grand lodge Rev. Mr. Betts spent some time in Tor. onto, and among other points of interest visited the World office. It seems natural to talk Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any one hailing from the home of that world- famous medicine and incidental) Ube conversation with Y Mr. Bette turned in that direction, when he told the World that he had that day met an old friend whose experience was a most remarkable one. The friend alluded to is Mr. John Soby, for many years proprietor of one of the leading hotels of Napanee, bat now a resident of Toronto, and proprietor of one of the Queen City's newest and finest hostelries, the Grand Union Hotel, op- posite the Union depot. The World was impressed with the story Mr. Betts told, and determined to interview Mr. Soby and secure the particulars otitis case for publication. Mr. Soby freely gives his testimony to the good done him by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A fete years ago rheumatism with its attendant legion of aches and pains fastened upon him, and he was forced to retire from business. "For months," said Mr. Soby, "I suffer- ed and could find no relief from doctors or medicines. The disease was always worse in the Spring and Fall, and last year I wee almost crippled with pain. From my knee to my shoulder shot pains which felt like red hot needles. Then all my limbs would be affected at once. Half-a•dozen doctors, one after the other, tried to Dore me, but did no good. The rheumatism seemed to be getting worse. As I had tried almost everything the doctors could suggest, I thought I would try a little prescribing on my own ace count and purchased a supply of Pink Pella. The good effects were soon per- ceptible, and I procured a second supply, and before these were gond I was cured of a ,malady six doctors could not pat an end to. I have recovered my appetite, never felt better in my life, and I give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills credit for thie transformation. My wife, too, is just as warm an advocate as I am. A sufferer for years she has experienced to the full the good of Dr. Williams' invaluable remedy, and reoommende it to all women. "From what trouble was your wife suffer- ?" asked the reporter. "Well, I can't just tell you that," said Mr. Soby. "I do not know, and I don't think she did. It's just the same with half the women. They are sick, weak and dispirited, have no appetite and seam to be fading away. There ie no active disease at work, but something is wrong, That wee just the way with my wife. She was it martyr to dyspepsie, never in perfect health, and when she saw the ohange the Pink Pills made in me she tried them, The mar- velous improvement was just as marked in her case as in my own, and she Saye that her whole system is built up, and that the dyspepsia and sick headaches have vanished. She, as well as myself, seems to have regained youth, and I have not the slightest hesitation in pronounc- ing the remedy one of tile most valuable discoveries of the century. Let the doubters oall and tee me and they will be convinced." These pills are a positive cure for all troubles arising from a vitiated condition of the blood or a shattered nervous sys- tem.
