Beginning with the winter and last- ing well into April the probability is that the mail carrier will earn all the money he will receive for making his '-six rouuds a week. He will appreciate all the help we can give hiin in the way .of making the roads passable. When the winter snows come if every farmer would break out.the road alongside itis faros after every storm the rounds of Rte mail carrier would be more easily made and his mail boxes more prompt- ly visited.

A TALK ON fiIIEUMATISM Telling How to Actually Cure This Painful Malady I SPLENDID CHANCE To get the Old iiomt.t Paper that gives all the news of Clinton and D istric that's worth ,printing. Iii - o _ --,- This article is for the man or woman who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured. The most the rheunsatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the tender, aching joint, is a little relict. No lotion or hnantent ever dill or can .make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the blood Therefore rheumatism can only be cured when this poispnous acid ih driven out of the blood, Any doctor will tell you that this is true If you Leant sjnsething that will go right to the root of the trouble in the blood take Pr. Williams' fink Pllli. They mala new, rich bloo 1 which ,irives out the poisonous acid ami cures rheumatism to stay cure,!. The truth of these statements has been proved in thou- sands of cases throughout Canada, and the following cure is a striking in. stance. Mrs. F. -ll. Simpson, R. R.No. 1, Blenheim, Ont , says : "For a long time I was confined to my bed, and actually crippled with rheumatism The trouble first located in nay ankle— which was hutch swollen I thought it might be a sprain, but the doctor said it was rheumatism and advisel me to go to bed so that the trouble would not be aggravated. I did as directed but instead of getting better it spread first to my right knee, then to my left knee, and then to my arms. The limbs were muck swollen, and if I moved them causal _me considerable pain I seemed to get weak in other respects and fell offs in weight from 1511 to 110 pounds. I had no appetite and seemed to lose interest in everything. One day while reading a paper I came across the case of a rheumatic .suffer er cured by using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I decided to try them and sent for three boxes. 13y the time these were gone I had certainly begun to improve, and with help was ' able to get up. Continuing tide use of the pills I was first able to go about with the use of a crutch, which, later I die' carded fora cane, and then through the use of the pills I was able to throw aside the cane 'as well, and go about as briskly as I. }tad ever done, I feel that Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been a blessing to ase, and I strongly recommend them to other sim- ilar sufferers. ' You can procure these pills through apy dealer in medicine or get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 50 from The Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. WHEN AMANDA SAID "YES" By M. QUAD Copyright, 1910, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. To give you a straight tip at the very beginnifsg of this story, Amanda Jones was thirty-four year's old, That put her in the class of old maids by quite a number or years, perhaps. But why was she nu old maid? 'That's what you are going to be told. Jed Strong wag an old bachelor. He was thirty-six. years old, and a man can't 11ve single that long without be- ing called an old bachelor. And why was he called an old bachelor? Because three times in six or seven years he had asked Amanda Jmios for her heart and hand and three times 'sad sbc re. fused him. Ted was n good young Than, 17.0 bad .no vices. Ile was hardworking and respected. Amanda find made a great mistake every tittle she re- faced him, and elm had refused him because of a ai113' notion she had got into her head. In fact, it was a no- tion put there by a fortune teller. This female fraud had come along cue day when Amanda was about twenty -flue ears old, and before she hard had her 'hitt 'steer and told her that a maiden mus ,o accept the first offer made Igor. did, she would not live a yea and to on, Sly inc platting wuual do no gena. Sha had come to be an old, Old maid, and there was scarcely hope for lieu in. the,,fie. ture. One afternoon Amanda went for a long' walls. She had heard that Ted Strong wee bads to the village, bot alto did not walls out la hopes to meet liini. He had probably got married In the west. At least he had got over, caring for her, She walked up the river for is Milo of so nud then took is -oat on the bank. Before leaving, her House the idea of taking a hath in the river had owe to het'. She might aud she might not, bat she took along with ber a betlting suit that she, might be pre- pared 1f elle felt like 1t. At the same hour the same afternoon Ted Strong took it walls up the river. Ile did not expect to moot Amanda Jones, but he would find a shady spoi and sit down and meditate and throw clubs in the water and wish that every club would hit the old gypsy woman' fair on the head. Tie might make a fourth offer to Amanda, but he doubt- ed it. Ile would sit anll think it over. Ho found the shady spot and sat down, • Amanda had preceded him by about. twenty minutes. She had decided to take n bath. She looked up and down the highway and across to the corn; fields on the other side of the stream, but no one was in sight. In entering the water she got tangled up in some brushwood that was lying in wait on the bottom, and she fell down, and the suit was badly ripped. She waded out favtber, however, and was in the water up to her chin when a most aw- ful thing took place, Jed Strong came walking along the bank, and, by the great horn spoon, if he didn't sit down almost nbove•lser and begin to meditate: There was only ono thing tine bather could do, and that was to keep quiet until he departed. Lie might remain there half an hour or until sundown, but she must wait, and wait she did. Perhaps twenty minutes had passed away when Jed caught sight o1' her head and face and Instantly rceognlzel her and understood the situation, He was not more than a minute forming a scheme, and, springing to his feet, be picked up n good sized stone and exclaimed louts enough Inc Amanda to hear: "By George, brit that mast he nn al. ligators I will knock his blooming head oft at the first blow." He drew back his arm for n throw, but a voice arrested it. It was the well known voice of Amanda Jones, and if wailed out: "Oh, Jed Strong, don't kill me!" "It's you, is it?" he nsked. "Yes, it's mc. but I can't come out. You must go right away !" "I must, must I?" replied Jed as he hunted around for more stones. "What aro you going to do?" asked Amanda in a frigbtened tone. For answer led threw a stone, which, striking a couple of yards before her, spattered the water in ber face. She duetted, and when she came up she saw Jed ready to throw another stone. "Go away," she cried. "I'll not go until—until"— And Jed Strong lingered right there and made his fourth offer of marriage and did not stir a step until it ons ma rcpted, and Ire saw years of happiness nbcad of hlm. It may have struck Amanda at the time as a menn thing to do, but weeks afterward, w il n o t th' minister had done his dutse she pal her arms around the bridegroom's neck aud whispered: "016, Jeri, why didn't you throw stones at me long ego? We stall be jest the happiest couple In the world!" AN OPTIMISTIC PAPER THE "GROWLER" PUBLISHED AT.

Fire. anan has reached this country, probably by some mistake, for the editors of The Growler say that it le intended exclusively for readers in the trenches, a little news- paper published by the Fourteenth Ilattalion, of Cg,nada, stationed somewhere in France or Flanders. Its mmntenta are chiefly humorous, and its object is to beguile au occasional hour of the soldiers. There are, however, one or two serious articles, one of these discussing present-day methods of warfare, the relation be- tween the artillery and infantry in trench warfare, and the effectiveness. of the surprise attack. But The Growler is chiefly notable for its hu- mor, which is wholesome humor, and for the verses it contains, some of which are excellent. There is one entitled "The Conversation Boost," which is worth quoting at length, with the remark that if a Canadian soldier wroto it be can do work that not half a dozen Canadians at home - cars approach.

Ing in a t: 'E didn't know a word of ours nor me a word o' French; An' 'ow it was we managed, well, I cannot understand; But I never used the phrase book, ' though I 'ail it in my 'and. "I winked at 'int to start with; 'e grinned from ear to ear; An"'e stays `Tipperary' an' I says `Souvenir'; '31 'ad my only Woodbine, I 'ad 'is thin cigar, Which set the ball a-rellin', an' so well, them you are!

The editor of The Growler ex- plains that the publication of a news- paper in the trenches is attended with considerably more excitement than its production in times of peace, and that frequently is exciting enough. Neither the Buns nor the elements gave any encouragement when the first issue of The Growler was being prepared, for as the editor was writing his opening paragraph • a shower of, shells fell in "our editor- ial back yard, and we betook ourself and our staff to the deepest trench we could find, and, having once more Aga poxtuaasian of ou dugout, we find, the river benne in flood, thel floor is twelve inches deep in decid-1 edly icy water, in which our editorials feet are now resting." In his invite -I don to readers to make contribn tions, the editor says that the col -1 mans are open to every grouch in' the battalion, and that every growl} and grievance will be Joyfully receiv- ed and immediately inserted. Especially he solicits complaints. and derogatory statements concern- ing the Adjutant, Transport Officer, or the Quartermaster. The Growler,' baying no fear of a libel suit, will welcome libelous remarks regardingl these officers, and in case a complaint is found to be justified, a prize will' be given the author. Unjustified complaints v'ill nevertheless be pub- lished cheerfully. The policy of The Growler with regard to advertising' is clearly defined. No advertisements) from German sources asking for mu- nitions or food will be accepted, nor can anything from this source be published under "Help Wanted." However, in order that the Germans. may not complain of unfairness, the Editor expresses his willingness to forward for readers packages of mu- nitions for the enemy if put up in packets suitable to be sent by the: Canadian 4.7 and 5,1 despatchers.. Published within sight of the Ger- man trenches, with shells falling every hour, and with casualties every. day, The Growler is as cheerful and optimistic a little paper as is print- ed anywhere in the world. No paper Is so ludicrously misnamed. - Landon in His Element. Mr. A.
