PART II.
YounglDector John Rhodes wuz a prime
favorite of mine and had always been. He •
had as much goodness and common sense
and emartness about him as any young man
I ever ect eyes on. He wuz good-lookin' :
too, with keen dark eye's; kinder laughin' j
and kinder ead eyes too, as if , he see nater -
ally on beth sides of life—the bright side
and pathetic side. Tall, broad -shouldered,
manly lookin', he was as nigh, as I could
make out from -what I'd hearn, as nigh the
opposite of Anna's bo as you could find.
Well, young Doctor John took her little
slender white wrist in his hind and counted
her heartbeats by his watch, and mebby he,
counted 'ern by his own heart tOo, for Anna
did look sweet as a plater as she lay there
with her golden hair all kinder curly round
her pale face, and her big violet -blue eyes
and the waves of white lace about her neck,
comin' up round her soft cheeks that wuz
jest about as white.
Well, he left her some powders and some
tablets, and said he would Come ag'in the
next day. And she lifted her;soft, sad 'blue
eyes to hisen and looked so confidin' and
innocent and sweet at him that I didn'e
wonder that it took him such a. long time
to fold up the powders, and why he seemed
to linger round as if he wuz loth to go.
But at last he did go downst aire, and I
follered him, and he _turned round in the
settinhroom and faced me, and in a' honest
way that would be invaluable in a doctor if
follered up, he sez, " What is really the
matter with herenunt Samantha ?"
And I sea, " A lack of commOn sense. in
her mother, or that - is what started the
trouble in the first place.", Sez I in a sort of
a blind way, " There is mebby. other cern-
plications now that will have to be tended
to."
And I walked eff into the buttery. I
wuzn't goin' to mention Van Bibber to him
—no indeod ! and wben I come out I brung
a phte of cream cookies ; he likes rny
.cookies to a' extraordinary degree, and
these wilz jest out of the' oven, and he eat
three, and then went away with one in his
hand. He appreciates good cookin', yes
indeed
Well, the next mornin', bright an' early,
young Doctor John wuz there ag'in, with a
pink rose in his buttonhole (I never see that
before), an' he made ti. long call, and so the
next day, and the next, and the next, and
she a-gainin' all the time, and a-beginnin'
to talk real bright anhi chipper to him, and
the seventh day young Doctor John said
that it would help her to ride out that very
day, for the air wuz jest exactly right.
And I 8CY, " Well, I don'e know what I
oan no, for Joeiah is away with both
horses." -
And he scz dreamily, " Yes, -1 met him,
but," aez he, " as it happens I took my low,
easy phaeton this-afterneon, and I can take
her a short ride as well as not."
And I sea, " Won't to morrow do V,.
And he stz, " No, for to -day the air is
jest exactly right" -
And I, not wantin' to hurt her, fell in
with the idea, and I see she wanted to go."
Now, if I hadn't trusted him jest as firm
as I would any old deacon or pastor
wouldn't have heard to the ides, but I did
trust him implicitly and so I agreed to it.
And when he brung her back, she with a
pretty light in her eyes and a soft color ou
the white cheeks, he sez, As it happens,
I have -got to go up the mountain in the
morning a few miles, and I will take Mise
Anna out again if you think best."
And I sea, " Josiah can take her."
And he sez, " No; Uncle Jesiah is busy ;
don't bother him."
" Well, sea I, kinder langhin' in the in-
side of my sleeves, '" doctors are most al-
ways busy."
And he sea ag'in', " I have got to. go up
there, and mountain air is just' what she
needs."
Well, in a few days he said ehe needed
lake air. And when I begun to plan how- to
get her to it, he said it -happened jest so
that he had got to go down on the lake
shore a few miles off, and he could take her
jest as well as not, andehe °seemed glad to
go—glad enough ; and every single day ehe
serned to feel better and look better. Early
hours to bed and to rise, fresh, pure air,
wholesome, nutritio-ris food, and easy, loose
clothin' had all done their healing work on
her. Why, I had let out her pretty muslin
dresses most half a finger under each arm,
and she dant as well die as to girt herself in
ag'in, my eye wuz that keen on her, and yet
lovin'. And I went to Jonesville myself
and picked her out a pair of common-sense
shoes, but pretty ones, russet color ; why,
good land she didn't wear but number
three any way --they, wuz plenty big enoogh,
and I admitted it. And I spoze her free-
dom from foot sufferin' helped her a great
sight, and her winder wuz always open
nights, She had got to likin' me too well
not to do as I said, and when she see me
calmly carryin' the pickle jar down stiller
an' put a stun on it, site knew that ended
pickles ; and when she asked Josiah to git
her some candy, and I calmly took it and
eat it up myself, makin' me dead sick, but
dole' it cheerful in a martyi way, she didn't
ask him ag'in to git her anything earahup-
tishiously, and it wuzn't long before her
well stomach didn't crave such trash—rich
cake and pickles and pies and such. And
she begun to git so plump that -she laughed
and said I would have to let out her dresses
ag'in.
And I diel before she went home—more
than a inch on each side, and her cheek's
grew pinker and her eyes got brighter lend
brighter, and I didn't wonder a mite that
the kinds of air she had tq ride ott to take
wuz so various, and lay in such different
directions, and young Doctor John -='Veuz so
willin' to take her to 'em.
Well, Anna;had‘wanted to surprise her
mamma when she come to see her so much
better, so we haidn'ti eaid nothin' in our
letters about the great improvement and
etiange in her, and the very day that Doctor
John and she went out on a two mild's walk,
two out and two in, I got a letter from
Aibina Ann tellin' me that- she 'had seen a
new kind of a' invalid chair, and askita' Me
t o ask the doctor if he sposad it would be a
benefit to Anna, and sez she " Xour evasive
remarks about my poor,' dear invalid !makes
me fear that I shall never see her ag'in,
acid.- sea she, r dremp last night of at-
tending a funeral, and I waked up and lay
for rnorZn an hour plannin' out ithe funeral
when she ia took from me. I picked out
the text ' ttrange are the mysterious waysj
of Providence,' and," sea she, " 1 wet two!

Oh, Albina Ann thoughr, enough of her, I
could aee that, and kept her in her mind day
and night. And the day I let her' dress out
'for the second time, that, wuz the time she
went out with her Uncle Josiah to rake the
meadoW, and come in laughin' and rosy on
top of the load, jest as Doctor John drove
into the yard, makin' her face look resier
than ever.
Well, that day Albina Ann writ to . me
ag'in, and inz she : " I write to you, for I
know that Annie is too feeble to write to
me, and I want you to tell pie, and tell me
plain, if -you think that she is going to live
until fall, for I must, if she is in immediate
danger, I must leave John and hie wife aud
the twins, sick as they be • for I must, I
most see my darling, my i'dol once 'more."
Well, writ her a sort of a comtortin'
letter, that would eettle her mind some and
stiddy it ; all the while I wuz a-writin' it I
wuz ahearin' Anna's' ringinlaugh out in the
yerd, where- Doctor John and the stood
talkha' and'aelaughin ith my comparCion.
Well, Doctor John wuz here about eVery
day, and it wuz plain enOugh to see what
wuz in his mind • he had never paid any.
attention to a girl before in his life as I
ever hearn on, and it I' wuz any judge of
girls (and I fancy I am a splendid judge) An-
na wuz jest as fond of him as he wuz of her.
Van Bibber, that poor, dissipated scamp, I
felt ha.thonly stood in the vestibule of her
fancy, while Doctor Jonn, I believed, had
opened the door to her heart and walked in
there to stay.
Well, I felt that all I had to do wuz to
set down and trust the Lord ; that's all we
can do after we've done all we can ourselves.
Let mothers take this great truth into con,"
eideration and consider on't ; surround
your young girls with good society, and
when I say good I den't, mean necessaeily
rich, but good, honest and reliable ; then.
you can set down your chair and rest,
knowin' that whatever is the Lord's will to
happen won't bring grief and shame to yoor
heart. If it is His will to have your girl .a
bachelor maid, thank God and take courage ;
if it is His will to have'her unite her fate to
a companion, why aCcept it as His will and
make the best on't, but 'tenoyeate and any-
way, don't, don't let her marry a shack,
and- to iissure: that don't let a shack come
hangin' round.
Well, everything seemed to be a-goin' as
I wanted it to ge. Considerin' the Van
BiPper episode, I couldn't act exactly as I
Would if I had took her fresh from the
cradle. In them latter circumstances I
would impress ag'in and ag'in on a girl's
mind how many mare avenoos there WI= to
walk. in besides the -matrimonial one—broad,
glorious avenoos, full of helpful and grand
peseibilities. But the -Van Bibber eppisode
had hampered me, and se, as I say, every-
thing seemed to be it-goin' as I wanted it
to. Andyeb anon or,oftener I had a feel -
in' that if Anna couldn't be broke for good
of her foolish ways—foolishness nurtured
and fostered by Albina Ann—I didn't want
Doctor John's life spilte. And then ag'in,
a good deal of tha time I noticed her sweet
disposition, and put a long white mark On
that ; her readiness to fall into better ways
when she found 'ern out—another long white
mark.
As for his likin' for her, I felt that I
needn't mark that, for he had done it him-
self. And if she didn't know as much as
Sappho or Aspaaia, that I've -heard Thomas
J. read about, I knew men never cared any
-too much about that, and as for Miss
*Sappho and Miss Aspaisa, I never thought
any teo much of either On 'em, from what
I'd hearn ; Miss Sappho, with all her smart-
ness, drowned herSelf, and as for Miss
Aspasia, there's sights of talk about her
and always has been.
And then I felt a good deal of the time
;that Doctor John had smartness enough for
'em both, and Anna wuzn't nobody's fool,
and I felt that the sun of his strength and
love would bring out the colors in her mind
and soul jest as the sunlight changes a poor
suller-kep' houseplant in the spring of the
year,
Well, anyway and 'tcnnyrate, I had to_
let it go on ; -I jest had to, for the stream
wuz a-gettin' too deep for me to ford or
dam (metafor)—I meant the stream of deep
true love that wuz a'flowin' round Anna,
and bearin' her on its deep bosom into hap.
piness, as I truited and felt. I felt that it
had got to bear her where it wilted to.
Well, one day Anna and Doctor John
had gone up the mountain road ; the air
wuz balmy as if it blowed off a bed of balm,
and I had seen the happy pair set off Under
the morning sun, a-lookin' freeh and bright
almost as that luminary itself, only of course
not so dazzlin'.
And my Josiah had gone into the wood -
lot for a load of stove -wood, and I'd put on
a clean gingham -dress and sot there in my
clean kitchen alone in all my glory, same as
Solomon did or the. Queen of Sheba, I've
most forgot which one on 'em it wuz, when
I heard a rap 'on the door and I went and
opened it, and there stood a chap that I
knew by the first look on him svuz Van
Bibber. Ile had that same look on him,
sort o' dissipated, and yet kinder stylish
and handsome, that I felt certain could be-
long to no other.
I invited him in and sot him a chair, for
I felt that he was a-goin' to have a bad
enough time without stemdin! up, and he
13,v 2; most the first thing :
" I want to see my affianced."
And I sea in a pert way, "Nobody by that
name is here or been here."
Sez he, " My betrothed."
And then I sea, " I don't somehow seem
to recognize the name."
And he yelled up a little, " The girl I'm
engaged to, Miss Anna Peak ; or that ie,"
sez he, " I've considered it the same as'an
engagement, though perhaps it hasn't quite
reached that point."
" Oh," sez I, " you mean Anna ; well,
she is not here jest now."
" And," he stz, his red face growin'
redder, and his kinder bloodshot eyes dart -
in' angry gleams, " I have heard all about
your treacherous conduct and I've come to
settle with you."
" You -have, have you ?" sez I, and I
turned over the sock I wuz a mendin' and
ateackted it in a new place.
" Yes," sea he, " I've heard how you have
encouraged the attentions of another man to
the girl I was as good as engaged to, the
girl I've paid attention to for years."
Sez I oalmly, a lookin' him over as if he
wuz banty rooster " Have you paid atten-
tion to her exclusively ?"
" I have never -paid attention to another
lady I" he yelled en quite a loud voice and
shrill.
" Mebby not," eez I, and I went on,
" Anna can do as shetpleases, but if I wuz
a young girl," sez I wouldn't accept the
attentions of a man who divided his atten-
tions between me and a gamblin' hall and
horse races," sez
" What do you mean ?" he yelled out.
" Jest what I eay," sez I, a gettin' up and
puttin' in another'stick of wood, and a -seat -
in' myself some nigher the woodbox, for I
didn't know what he might be led to do,
for I could see as plain as anything that he
wuzn't quite himself, and you never can
celculate what such a man may take it into
his head to do. But I telt considerable
easy when I had a good stout birch stick of
wood right at hand, not that I wuz reedy
fraid 'on him ; dissipation had told on him
so he looked considerable tottlin' and shaky
under all the outside veneer of fashion he'd
put on • but how can you tell what a poor
eniserab'le tike will take irito his head ?
Wby, dissipation jest unhinges all the
moral and spiritual graces, all the manli-
ness and self respect and will -power, and
jest lets 'em all tottle down into ruin, and I
don't believe he had many graces to unjint
in the first place.
" What do you mean ?" sea he, lookin'
meachin' and meachin' as a dog.
" Why," sez I, a-feelin' it my bounden
duty to stand between Anna and trouble,
" I mean that it is a shame and a disgrace
for such a man as you are to even talk of-
takin' a sweet, innocent young girl into a
life like yours."
" She fills my heart," sez he, " and my
life, and has for years."
" Not full !" sez I, look in' at him keenly,
" not full ! If she did her sweet image
would have banished the other vile inmates
that have abeunded there—wicked , com-
panions, evil ways of all kinds. What room
is these hi that black crew for an innocent
young life like Anna's ? Have you got the
heart ?" sez I, " to try to entice that young
girl into such a life as you know the wife of
a dissipated man must lead—into woe. and
wretchedness, and an early grave, moat
likely ?"
" I would reform," sea he ; " I would
become a different man for her sake."
" Why haven't you, then ?'' sez I. " Why
haven't you reformed in all these years when
you wuz on probation, as you may say,
a.tryint to win her love ? Do you think
that you'd do better when you wuz suee of
her arl she wuz in your power ? " Now,"
sea I, " I don't want to be hash to you and
1 don t want to hender you from singin'
that
' While the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return,'
but I don't want you to sing it here ; I
want,you to go away and let Anna alone."
" I never will," sez he.
,, ell," sea 1, " I will See about that " ;
and I got up and went to the back door and
called out lend : " Josiah, I want you and
Ury to come right here I"
We 1, my conscience has twitted me about
that performance more'n a hundred times
Hence, if it has once. But, then, I would
kinds argy back, when I would git all wore
out w th that conscience a-prodin' me, I did
want osiah to come that very minute, and
I wou d have liked to see Ury step in, there
hain't a doubt on'e. And what of it, what
if [fry was to Three Mile Bay for a load, of
spruce, and what if Josiah Allan wuz two
milds end a half away in our wood -lot, I
wantet1 'em, there haint a doubt of that,
and I didn't lie.
And I spose I might jest as well tell it
right here as anywhere, Josiah has told it
more than twenty times ie one day by the
1
clock he sez, and I believe it implicitly,
Josiah sez that he had jest driv into the
woods and had commenced to lead the wood
in wh n he sea he beans me say : " Josiah,
I want you." And he sez there wuz in my
voice a certain ring of urgent need and
anxiety that made him turn the team right
round and come home on the gallop, and
consequently he met Van Bibber down by
the big butternut tree. For after I called
to them men, for all the world jese as if
they wuz inside the barn door, Van 13ibber
turned on to his heel and went off without
biddin' me " good -by," or " good -day " or
ili:nythin'. He yanked the lines offen the
post (he had hitched by the lines—didn't
know any more—and I spoze he broke
sunthin', somehow, for he seemed to be fool.'
in' round with the harness for quite a spell ;
I spoze his hands wuz clumsy and helplese
owin' to his state) and so, as I say, Josiah
come a-gallopin"long, and ,past him down
by the butternut tree.
Well, to me that little episode always
went to shoW how closte the ties be unitin'
two true hearts, and how queer and curious
the atmosphere is that surrounds 'em. My
voice in need reached the ear that Love had
attuned to hear it. Strange, strange is the
mysteries of ra dnere. I've always said it
and always will ; strange is the pathway on
which their sperits can go back and forth

and meet each other. It made me feel queer
and riz up.
But Josiah looks at it different ; he thinks
that it wuz me nateral voice that he hearn,
and sez he : " Sa.manta, I always told you
that I could hear you two or three milds
away, and now I've proved it ; your voice
is shrill," gez he " and you don't realize
how loud you holler."
" Why didn't Ury hear me ?" sea I scorn-
fully.
" Oh, there is a limit to the ehrillest
voice. You couldn't expect to talk back
and forth with folks clear to the Klondyke.')
Well, there wuzn't no use aargyin', and
he has throwed that episode in my face
-ever Bence, and I epoze he always will.
But good land, I don't care ; I know that
we got rid ef Van Bibber for good and all,
for he didn't make much of any move after
that episode of advice and warnin' to him.
I guess he did write to Anna once or twice,
but she never noticed his letters, and it
wuzn't but a few months before be married
a rich widder,
Well, it wuz on a bright September day
that Albine Ann come to Jonesville, after
Anna had had only three months, mind you,
of common sense treatment and reasonable
livin', and wish you could have seen her
face as it rested on Anna's for the first time.
You see, ehe come in dretful pimpin' and
pensive lookin', for John's wife had had a
siege, and Albina Ann had nursed her faith-
fully, and John too and the twine, and they
wuz all a -pulling through.
But bad and wore out as Albina Ann felt,
she didn't feel too bad to have that white
dotted veil over her made-up face, and her
dress tight as tight, could be, and sot up on
wobblin heels half a finger from the ground,
a-prtchin' her kinder forwards. I pitied
her. And her first words was : " She is
is alive, hain'e she ? Do tell me so I Is she
in the spare bedroom ? Oh," sez she, " to
come from one bed of sickness to another ?"
and she sithed and kinder groaned, and
started for the chamber stairs.
Se z " She has gone out fer a ride."
" For a ride !" sez she in ainaze, " then
she can't be in immediate danger," and then
she sez, " Oh, how 1 have dreaded to come
from the almost dying bed of my dear ones
in Denver to the sick bed of another."
" Well," stz I, " Anna hain't bedsick,
and," sea I, " you'll see her in a minute,"
for I hearn 'em at the gate.
Well, when that plump, rosy-cheeked girl,
with sparkling, laughing eyes, bounded into
the room (her Uncle Josiah had told her that
her ma had come) and threw her arms
round her neck and kissed her, you could
have knocked Albina Ann -over with a pin-
feather. I felt conscious struck, and as if
I'd ort to told her. Her face turned ghastly
pale under the false color, and she, looked
at Anna and then at me in a stunted, dumb-
foundered,helpless way, pitiful in the ex•
treme, that most made me 'fraid that she
had lost her faculty. But pretty soon she
gradually brightened up into a happy, bliss-
ful look, and her nateral color returned, and
how she did hug and embrace Anna, and she
says to me in a solemn way, " It is a meri-
cle, Samantha !"
" No," sez I, " no mericle, only a tri-
umph of common sense and common-sense
remedies—pure air, early hours, wholesome
food, etc., etc." ,
And then ehe noticed her dress, I see—
the absence of cosset, the common-sense
shoes. But she never lisped a word ag'inst
it, and hain't to this day, so fur as I know.
The shock had been too great ; she had seen
the dead raised to life, as it were, and it had
shook a little common sense and gumption
into her. I ketched her myself the next
mornin' a-lettin' out her travellin' dress,
and she let her cosset out some. I have
some hopes of her.
Well, to resoom backwards a spell. .Doc•
tor John come in with my pardner, and
when Albina Ann see that splendid, noble
lookin? young man, and comprehended how
and what it wuz, and that Van Bibber wuz
only a dark shedder in the past, and would
not shade Anna's future ag'in, she sez to me,
in them solemn axents out on the back
stoop, " Another mericle, Samantha ?"
And I EZ, " No such thing, Albina Ann ;
nothing only another triumph of common
sense. Do you remember what I said to
you about eurroundin' young girls with good
society ?" And I felt so well that I went on
and episoded a little right there.
Sez I, " When you let a cat. into a cream -
dairy what do you expect, or a dog into a
bone factory ? Will the cat pay any atten-
tion to the catechism, or the dog to the dox-
ology ? No, you can't expect them to
change their naters all of a sudden. So
with young folks ; throw young hearts to-
gether in the spring time with no warnin' ;
what is the result ? Why, the trees and
flowers and everything baeom out under the
sun of spring, and young hearts stand ready
to bloom out under the sun of love, and yen
ort to be careful, careful as to the material
you surround 'em with."
But I see she wuzn't pa.yiu? the attention
she ort to, and eg'in I see her look at Doctor
John proudly and happily, and she murmur-
ed ag'in. " It is a mericle, a mericle I"
And I sez ag'in, bein' brung down from
the mount of eloquence on to the plain of
common sense, " it haint no such thing ;
it is nothin' but siftin' good wheat from bad,
and usin' a little plain horse sense."
Well, Albina Ann wuz always contrary ;
she's never gin in, nor I nuther. She al -
,ways to this day contends that it wuz a
mericle, and see, she gives Providence all the
praise for tbe hull performance, which, of
course, I want her to do, and still—
Well, if I hadn't acted out what I be-
lieved wuz the will of Providence, she
would have come oub pretty slim.
Anna and Doctor John wuz married 'long
the next winter, and I went to the weddin ,
proud as a peacock of the bright, healthy,
happy looks of the bride—sweet as a rose,
too, she looked under her white veil. And
they have settled down in Loontown, in a
pretty cream -colored cottage nigh the old
doctor's.- And everybody sez they are the
very happiest couple in Loontown.
She knows enough I And he jest wor-
ships her, and she him, and_ they both set
store by me, eights of store.

WEAK FROM INFANCY.
The Unfortunate Condition of
Miss Ernestine Cloutier.
As She Grew Older Her Troubles Became
More Pronounced—Doctors Said Her
Case Was one of General Debility, and
Held Out Small Hope of Recovery—
She is Now Well and Strong—A Lesson
for Parents.
From the Telegraph, Quebec.
No discovery of medicine in modern times
has done so much to bring back the rich
glow of health and the natural activity of
healthy young womanhood to weak and ail-
ing girls as has Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Girls delicate from childhood have used
these pills with remarkably beneficial effects,
and the cherished daughter of many a
household has been transforms from a pale

health an strength through the use I Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills is Miser Erneatine
Cloutier, he fifteen year old daughter of
Mr. G. A. Cloutier, residing at No. 8, Lal-
lemand eet, Quebec city. Mr. Cloutier,
in an into view with a representative of the
Telegraph gave the following account of his
daughter' illnees and recovery " Almost
from infancy my daughter had not enjoyed
good health, her constitution being of a frail
character. We did not pay much attention
to her weakness, as we thought she would
outgrow it. Unfortunately this was not the
case, and as she grew older she became so
weak that I got alarmed at her condition.
For days at a time she was unable to take
out of door exercise, she became listless,her
appetite failed her, and as time went on she
could not stand without supporting herself
against something, and at times she would
fall in a faint. I called in a doctor, but his
medicine did not help her and she was grow-
ing weaker than ever. 'Another physician
was then consulted, who pronounced- her
case one of general debility, and gave me
very little hope for her recovery. Some
months ago, while reading one of the daily
papers, I came across the case of a young
woman bured by the use .of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, so I determined to give them a
trial. After ehe had used about three boxes
the color began to come back to her cheeks
and she began to grow stronger. Greatly
encouraged by this, she continued to use the
pills for several months, and now she is a13
well as any girl of her age. Her appetite is
good, and she has gained thirty-five pounds
in weight. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
built up her system, and have made her
healthy and active atter doctors failed to
benefit her. I believe that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are the greatest growing medi-
oine for growing girls, and I would advise
their use in all cases similar to that of my
daughter's."
Miss Cloutier's story should bring hope
to many thousands of otber young girls
who suffer as she did. Those who are pale,
lack appetite, suffer from headaches and
palpitation of the heart, dizziness, or a feel-
ipg of constant weariness, will find renewed
health and strength in the use of a few
boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by
all dealers or sent by mail, post paid, at 50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2 50, by ad-

A Snake Story.
George -J. Howard, cashier of the Bank
of Niagara, and Ethan Howard, his brother,
both of Niagara Falls, had an exciting ex-
perience recently, and one they Will not
forget in a hurry. They spent the day ex-
ploring Foster's Flats and the territory be-
low this famous locality. They had with
great difficulty gone down the river from
Foster's Flats, skirting the rough and wild
edge of the river, and intending to climb a
bank at a sPot further down. The walking
was very hard and progress slow. When
they had gone a short distance from the
Flats they ran into a den of rattlesnakes.
First they knew of their danger was the rat-
tling of a large snake immediately in front
of them. The men grabbed clubs and des-
patched the reptile, but hardly was this
one killed when others were seen in the
neighborhood, Seven snakes in all were
seen, and of these four were killed by the
Rewards, the body of one and the rattles of
the others being taken home as evidence of
the fact that rattlesnakes still exist on the
Niagara frontier.
Almost anything could live in the very
wild region below Foster's Flats or on the
Flats themselves. It is by far the oldest
and most unknown ground within hundreds
of miles. Reports of rattlers still living
there come now and then from traveler%
but no story in years, vouched for by people
of well known reputation, in regard to these
snakes, have been heard. They report that
they were very much surprieed to lind the
snakes, and that there are undoubtedly
many more in the vicinity. They consider

thick leggings on. The snakes killed were
rather large, three of them being over three
feet in length, and the fourth being tome.
what smaller. They had no weapons, save
those, grabbed on the spot, otherwise they
would have got the seven. Nine rattles
were found in one snake, and these, with
the skin of the biggest snake and rattlee,
form an interesting reminiscence of au ex-
citing encounter within a mile of Niagara.

How Catarrh Poisons the System,
Yew people realize the vast amount of
health that arises from the absorption of
catarrhal poisons into the system. Langour„
sleeplessness, loss of appetite, indigestion,
and many other diaeomforts are caused by
catarrh. But to know this is to only half,
Catarrh is e most deadly disease, and effects
more than 90 per cent. of the people to•day.
It undermines health, and if unchecked will
surely and quickly lead to the grave. Con.
gumption can be traced back in most in-
stances to a bad cold or catarrh that was
neglected. Don't court this white plague,
insure yourself at once against it by inhaling
Catarrhozone, a pleasant antiseptic medioa-
tion that is inhaled into the lunge, nasal pas-
sages, throat and bronchial tubes, where it
kills disease germs and prevents their de.
velopment. Catarrhozone heals inflamed
surfaces, relieves congestion, clears the head
and throat, aids expectoration, and absolute-
ly cures Catarrh and Bronchitis. Quick re-
lief, cure guaranteed, pleasant to use. Price
