'WE CAN DO NO MOR.'
$o Said Three Doctors in
Consultation.
yet the Patient Has Been Reetored to
Health and Strength Through the
Agway of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Among the very mealy persons through-
out Canada who owe good health—perhaps
even life itself—te Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
is Mrs. Alex. -Fair, a well.known and highly
eateemed resident of Weal, Williams town-
ship, Middleaex Co., Oat. 11.)r nearly two
years Mrs. Fair was a great sufferer- from
troubles brought an by is,serere attack of le
grippe. A reporter who celled was cordially
received by both Mr. and Mrs. Fair, and
was given the fullowing facie of the cage : -
'In the spring of 1a96 I was attaelsed by la
grippe, for which I was treated by our fam-
ily doctor, but instead of getting better I
gradually grew worse, and my whole bady
became racked with pain. 1 consulted ono
of the best _doctors in Ontario, and for near-
-Iy eighteen months . followed his treatment,
hut without any materiat benefit, I hail a
terrible cough, which caueed intense panne
in my head and lunge ; I became very weak;
could not sleep, and for over a year I could
only tielk in a whiaper, and sornetinies my
voice left me eetirely. I ceme to regard
my condition as hopelees, but my husband
urged further treatment, and on his advice
our family doctor, with two othere, held -a
consultation, the result of svhich was that
theypronaunced my case incurable. Neigh -
bore advised me to try Dr. Wali&MB' Pink
Pills, but after having already spent over
e500 in doctor's bine I did not ho.vc much
faith left ir any medicine, but, ea a het re.
sort, I finally decided to give them a triad.
1 had not taken many bexes of tho pills be-
fore I noticed an improvement in my con-
dition, and this encouraged me to continue
their use. After taking the pills for several
months I Vta3 completely restored to health,
The cough disappeared. I no loueer Buffer-
ed. from the terrible pains I once endured ;
my voice became atrong again ; my appetite
improved, and I was able to obtain restful
sleep onee more. While taking the pills I
gained 37 pounds in weight,. Alt this I owe
to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I feel that
I.cannot say enough in their favor, for I
know that they hive certainly saved my
life."
In eases of this kind Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills will give more certain and speedy re-
sults than any other medicine. Tney act
directly on the blood, thus reaching the roet
of the trouble and driving every vestige of
disease from the system. Seld by all deal-
ers in medicine, or sent post paid at 50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by ad-
dresaing the Dr, Williams' Medicine Ca.,

Girls, Pause a Moinent.
If a thoughtful woman were asked
What is the greetest curse of your sex ?"
she might well answer, " Inipulee." It, is
reeponeible for almost ell the miatakes made
by the- good hearted among ue. May it not
safely be said that a few minuted' ' thought
before speech or o•ctiou would prevent moat
fetid blunders ? Many of Uff are in positive
liandage—quick to feel; to show our feel -
lugs, to retort or to respond. If we are
hurt we must immediettly " give ourselves
away," as the phcase runs, if not by bitter
lipeecti, at least by look wed manner, yet
reflection frequently brings the keenest re-
* gret for loet dignity, the betrayed secret.
Many a one hae weecked her OVJU happi-
ness for the want of the patient etoicisni
which wo.urd have led her to atand aside for
a while watching events until they brought
with them he oppertunity. Even when
we are happy it is not always well to let
the brighe stream bear tis away rudderleea,
The impulsive manifestation of affeetion,
the fluty preposal of marriage, the heatier
acceptance, heve they never proved the be-
ginning of misery? Or has a rash word
never sundered true lovers, ,true friends ?
If these things are true, it is likewise true
that the fault iu the eommencemene has
been that of feminine impuleivenese. The
defect is a generous one, and therefore
commoner with us than with men, so that
it handicape us unfairly in the bettle of
life.
And, truly, it is a weary tack to be al-
ways "with a host of petty maxims preach-
ing down " one's heara But vvamust do it ;
either we must rule feeliag, or feeling rule
us. It is a good servant, but a bad master.
Our loving women's hearts are like the fire
of the domestic hearths—the light of the
home when duly controlled, warming the
whole houtse ; but if the fire be not kept in
its subordinate place what a conflegration
ensues !

A True Gentleman.
"1 beg your pardon," And with a smile
and a touch of his hat Harry Einiond
handed to an old man, against whom
he had accidentally stumbled, the
cane which he had knocked from his hand.
"1 hope I did not hurt you. We were
playing too roughly."
" Not a bit,' said the old man. Boys
will be boys, and ita the best ti3ey should be.
You.did not harm me."
"I'm glad to hear it." And lifting his
hat again Harry turned to join the play-
mates with whom he had been frolicking at
tilte time of the accident.
" What did you raise your hat te that
old fellow for?" asked his companion,
Charley Grey. " He is only Old Giles, the
hawker."
"That makes no difference," said Harry.
"The question is not whether he is a gentle-
man, but whether I am one, and no true
gentleman will be less polite to a man be-
cause he wears a shabby coat or hawks
vegetables through the streets instead of
working in a counting house."

The Worth of a Character.
Talent does command recognition ; char-
aoter does secure confidence ; a noble life
does lay the foundation of great influence.
There are no shortcuts to laeting succees ;
there are no substitutes far genuine ability;
there are no equivalents for a noble char-
acter. These facts ought to be written in
the heart of the race as they are written in
the very heart of history. Inferior ends
are successfully aerved by vulgar methods,
lower prizes ase secured by selfish men ;
but this ought not to confuse the mind of
any one who looks at life broadly and sane-
ly. Men may sometimes be deceived for a
time by a specious success, but they are not
deceived in the long run. The man who
hoodwinks others is never able to hood-
wink himself ; and not for one moment is
the mind of Cod confused by the tricks, the
chicenery, or the adroitness of the merely
clever and unscrupulous. Nothing really
pays, in the highest and noblest sense of
the word, except goodneeti ; nothing really
7
succeede unlese it deserves to succeed ; and
nothing endures that ia not genuine and
noble. In every great career of a mixed
character the world speedilY learns to de•
tect the mean and the false and separate it
hem the good. The wheat and the tares
grow together, but they are divided, the
one from the other, long before the ultimate
harvesting. Let no man be deceived or de-
ceive himself. It is only the good who Will
survive, it is only the noble who are mall
great ; and nothing is worth while in this
world, either in obscure or great places, but
honesty, unselfishness, purity and der
tion.

The Seaforths' Grateful
Acknowledgment.
The Cepa papers report how the Seaforth
Highlanders have shown their appreciation
of the heroic deed of a lady in rescuing and.
succoring one of their comrade. During
fighting in the streets, of Jisgersfontein, on
Oetober 16th last, .Private Brown, it ap-
pears, fell wounded outside a house in which
a Miss Newton reeidecl. Hearing groans,
she went outside to 'ascertain the cause, nd
when Brown saw her he cried, "For 0 d's
sakeelady, pull me out of this." Miss N w.
Lon at once took hold of him under the ar s,
as well as she could, and dragged him i to
the verandah out of the line of fire. I ul-
let& were flying along the street thickly at
the time ; but Mist) Newton remained ith
her wounded soldier, doing what she could
for him until the ambulance arrived. ' he
men of the Seaforth Highlanders gratef Ily
remembered this act of mercy, and w en
they succeeded in ascertaining that les
Newton had migrated to Grahamstown, ti ey
sent her by post 'a beautiful gold brae let
watch, bearing the inscription : " Pres at:
ed td Miss A. E. Newton, from the Saab rth
Highlandere, in admiration of her be oic
conduct in assisting their wounded comr de
under fire, 15th 03tober, 1900."

This Horse Loves a Joke.
A wonderful horse is John, oneof the
mainstays of the Kansas City Fire Depart-
ment. He is young, grey, playful and in.
telli ent—more intelligent than some men,
say the attaches of headquarters. His per-
sonaE atl;endant modestly predicts that in a
sbor4 time John will be able not only to
hitob himself to an engine and run to fires,
but Will also turn on the water and play a
stream on the burning building.
This prophecy comes from a daily -perfor-
manee • by which John entertains huge
crowds.' He gets.his bath between 8:30 and
9 o'clock in the morning, and after he has
been well washed he takes the hose and does
a little playing on his own account. He
brings the nozzleto his mouth and takes a
good, long drink, then directs a. stream on
the Pavement and the street, frequently
also washing such windows .as are handy.
Usually the pressure is reduced, so, that no
• damage may be (lone, but the other day the
stream was on at full force. When John
drew the ntdzle into his mouth the pressure
• nearly strangled him. He dropped the hose
in a hurry and netted out a lot of equine
cuss words.
Then he °aught up ,the hose again aced
swung at „everything in sight. An -open
summer car happened to be in clearest sight,
and the way the horse flooded the cenvey•
ancewaefun for all who werenot in range,
.Since then care has been taken to keep the
streem at low pressure when John tikes the
hOsein his mouth..

Montreal. This is in accordance with in-
strultions received by the inspectore of live
stock at that port, the order having come
from the Department of Marine and Fisher-
ies. The inspection fee heretofore charged
brought in a revenue ranging from $2,000 to
$5,000 each season of navigation, according
to the number of head of live etock shipped,
and was graded as follows: --Upon cattle,

shocked by Rev. Flther Coutlee, of Mont-

the Franciscan Order in Montreal.
—Malcolm illacPhersen, a farmer about
48 years old, living in Ernesttown township,
near Napanee, committed suicide by cutting
his throat, the other night. It is supposed
despondency, caused by reverses in the
Northwest a few years ago, was the cause.
—Mrs. Lafferty, an old lady over 60 years
of age, and a resident of Guelph for over half
that period, was stuck by the engine of the
(treed Trunk Reitway passenger train from
the north, the other morning, and was killed
almost instantly. It eeerns that the de-

the Dublin street crossing, which is a dan-

to go.
—A startling tragedy occurred a few
miles outside of the city of St. Cetherines,
on Tueeday afternoon of last week, when
William Hodgkinson, a well-known trapper
and farmer, ended his own life by blowing
off the top of his head with a shot gun.
Shortly after 5 o'clock he came into his
house by the back door, having been out
working on the farm, took hisshot gun, and
walked through the house and out on the
green in front of the house. A report of the
gun was heard, and, rushing out, Mrs.
Hodgkinson found her unfortunate husband
lying on the ground in death. The dee
ceaeed had taken off one shoe and torn a
large hole in his sock so that the great toe
protruded. Then, placing the muzzle of the
gun in his mouth, he put his toe on the trig-
ger, shooting himself in the mouth and
• blowing off the top.' of his head. His hat
was found with a large hole through the
crown, The gun had been loaded with No.
2.shot. He was 55 years of age, and leaves
a widow, 5 sons and two daughters,

Youthful Champion.
The Duchees of Sutherland, besides being
pretty, highly educated and a great trav-
eller, is famous for her benevolent work in
the east end of London, where she has es-
tablished night sohools, reading rooms, and
regular entertainments for the poor,in which
many- titled ladies take part. The New
York Tribune says that she is almost idoliz-
ed by the gamins of London. Once she
fourd & champion among them in an unex•
peeted manner.
A ragged, bna ()footed boy, a croseing-
sweepers had doffed his hat to the duchess
in the hope of recognition, when he observ-
ed a well-dressed but rakish -looking- man
following her across the street, as if trying
to force upon her attentions that were evi-
dently obnoxious to her. There was a look
of distress on the duchess's face.
"'Setae me, lady," said a boy's voice be-
side her, "shall I punch 'is 'ead ?"
She turned, looked down upon the little
sweeper, and then said. smiling :
" Why, it's jemmie !"
She had remenabered his name, after all,
and -at that moment the boy was hers, body
end soul. Without waiting for another
word, he dashed off and turned a sort of
violent " cartwheel," so adroitly calculated
that he landed, with two very muddy feet
right in the middle of the offensive math]
waistcoat.
Then, before the man could recover from
the shock, the boy had slapped him with
one muddy hand across the mouth, and with
the other had deposited a handful of the
filthy compound on the back of his neck.
The next moment the boy was in the grasp
of a policeman, who dragged him away to
the nearest police station. He, was being
charged by the constable,with assault when
the duchess entered. She spoke kindly to
the gamin, and then explained the affeir to
the inspector on duty.
At her request tho boy was set at liberty,
and he stayed only long enough to say to
the inspector :
"It's the lady who nursed me when the

HIS FIRST RACE.
ft Marks the Suntenle Moment of ft
Jockey's 'Life.
"The career of a jockey being about as.
long as that of a good race horse, the
trainer must employ every moment to the
best advantage," says Allen Sang,ree it
Ainslee's. "He- drives along in a rubber

the saddle. Ho studies' the boy's hands,
feet, body and eyes, explains the horse's
peculiarities and schools him to forget
there is such a thing as fear. Thatone
final. quality which enables the boy to
seize the psychological moment in a rnee
—fraught with triumph or disaster—the
'trainer cannot. bestow. It. must be born
ia the boy.
f -!After several years of this tuition the
boy is full eager for a mount and coaxeo
his trainer incetsantly for 'just ono
chance.' • One day he gets it. An owner
has a horse that be wishes to try in a race,
but does not Want punished with whip or
•spur. Thetrainer picks the most promis-
ing boy in the table,' secures a license
for hire- and the five pounds' concession
in weight that is llowed to an apprentice
mount- andsends him to the post-. -
"This is the su retue moment in a jock-
ey's life. On it nay depend whether ho,
will be an outca t or. a rich man. Any
streak of the 'era en drastic training has
long since erased. But he knows his mor-
tal danger. He has heard this jockey
talked of as 'den rerous,' and that one as
a 'killer.' He has also been told how to
defend himself, a d with set teeth the ap-
prentice steels his nerve to give as well
as to take. The last instructiens of the
trainer as he gives the boy a leg in the
saddle are toeigtit off 'hold his
Lead up' and 'don't -get cnt down.' These
words refer to tlie management of the
horse.. Besides, the boy must look to his
own safety, for unprincipled jockeys may
try to 'throw him in a jostle,' put him
in a pocket' or 'crowd him against the
ra'illi;Then you stand at the rail watching
a big race on a fast track acid 13 or 14
horses are coming home in a bunch in a
dustcloud, while 20,00 spectators, with
their money hi the bookmakers' hands,
are on tiptoe yelling like mad, you cau
guess something of the feeling of the boy •
then who is on the first niount. With
the dull, frantic undertone of 'hoofbeats
come tho treble shrieks of the riders,
crouched, chinto knee, fat up on the
horses' shoulders, their eyes and .nostrils
thick with dust, their uniforms tinged to
khaki.
" 'Make an ()Coning there!'
"'Quick!' screams another, with an
oath. -

begs a third when a second of time means
a fortune to his owner. •
"At such a crisis two or three jockeys
can clog the way of a better. mounted ri-
val so that• he can win out only by that
last desecrate resert—a plunge itwixtethe
horses in front. If there is a small open•
ing alongside the rail, a very gamo jock-
ey may take a chance on that. In either

nareated by the RevD. M. Steele' in his
account of: "Some People I IInve Mar-
ried," in Ladies' Home Journal, is this
one: "It was after my first ceremony.
The groom shifted uneasily from ono .foot
to the other and observed that they were
'surely very Mucb obliged.' 'You see,' he
explained, 'we have not much money to
begin life, ,but if things go well perhaps
• in a yertr we can send you some present.'
I 'bowed- them out as graciously as I
knew how: and forgot nil about it. Six
months later I received by _mail a neck -

had not forgotten my kiedness, and now
that they aver° in better circumstances
they wanted to send me something. But
what should it be? At last they had de-

Water or Words.
A favorite dodge at Annapolis, says Dr.
Cyrus Townsend, Brady in "Tinder Top-
eaud Tents," was tie get a cadet to
make a political speech.
It took two plebes to play the game,
one la whom was to be prompter. The
oratpr would be directed to stand on the
floditrand the prompter on a chair back of
him with the mouth of a water pitcher
just touching the collar of the speaker.
He would be asked his politics, and If
they were Democratic he, would be advis-
ed to make a Republican. speech. The
prompter was requested to pour water
whenever the flow of language- stopped;
con -sequently something was always, flow-
ing—water or words. It was an easy
way of promoting fluency, and' on some
harrowing occasions in later days I have
wished, that some similar prompter could
only have started my halting speech. The
first net of the drama would be thorough-
ly enjoyed by every one, especially the
prompter, but when the positions were
reversed and the orator became the
prompter in his turn the situation was
truly delightful.

without any opparent renson„ will pull up
stakes and depart with all their belong-

these people have actually traveled sev-

An Experiment That Failed.
I know one noble minded lady, full of
fine ideas, who mated with a peasant
with the view of raising his class. The
man got softening of the brain soon after,

frantic efforts to digest the new mental

In planting cocoanut groves such nuts
as are vs -anted for planting are gathered
into heaps or placed under eheds, where

When planted in regular order, holes
about three feet deep and from 15 to 30
feet apart are dug. Ili the hole the mit is
placed with caro- and covered with about
one foot of soil.. The hole is filled grad-
ually as the sprout grows until it reaches
the surface, when it is left to itself, re-
quiring no further attention.

tance from the seashore, nearness to salt
water being absolutely eesential to its
welfare. In fact, it is said no magnet is
truer to the pole than are the roots of the
cocoanut tree to the ocean, for when the
root breaks through the husk it points
d rectly toward the • Sea, DO matter in
%that position the nut is placed in the

Paid For WaltIntr.
A lawyer who lives on Washington
heights bad occasion oue night recently
to go to Connecticut by the first train he -
could catch. When be reached the Grand
Central station, he found that he had
just missed themidnight train and that the
.next onedid not leave until 5 o'clock in
the morning. It was not worth while for
him to go home to wait, so he went to a
nearby hotel. After sitting in the hall
for a few minutes one of the hotel em-
loyees asked him if be was registered.
"Why, no," said the lawyer. "I don't
ant a room. I am waiting for a train
that leaves at 5 a. na"
"I'm sorry, sir," said the employee,
"but you can't wait here. It is against
the rules."
The lawyer told the -clerk at the desk
who be was and explained his reason for
dieing there. He said that be did not
want to retire t(.:) , room. The clerk told
him that it was contrary to the rules of
the house for him to sit in the halls at
that time unless be was a guest. There -
liven the lawyer registered, paid for a
ioom and was permitted to sit in the hall.
