God has furnished no with constant oc- casions for bearing one another's burdene. For there is no man living without his failings, no matt that is so happy as never to give offence, no man without his lead. of trouble. A loving heart is the great requirement.— Teaching of Buddha. " She had seen him and he looked quite bright and happy, and he was talking to a fair-haired girl with a sweet faoe, and Mr. Herrick was with them ; " but poor Leah could say no more, for the jealous pain seemed to choke her. That was the way he had. smiled at her, and now ishe was forgot- ten, and this other girl had taken her place ! Mrs. Richarpson, with all 'her ecoentri- °Mee, had a warm, true heart, aed ehe was very patient and tender with tte poor girliat late that night, as she sat in her dres- sing -room, there was a timid knock at her door, and Leah entered in her white wrap- per, with all her glorioue dark hair stream- ing over her ehoulders ; hut her eyes were swoollen with weeping. " I felt I remit come and speak to you or I could not sleep !" she exclaimed in her deep voice - and kneeling down by her friend- " Oh, I have been eo wicked ! bub I will try to be good now." " Tell me all about it, dearie," returned Mrs. Rioherdson in her kind comforting voice ; and she drew the dark head to her shoulder. and a sort of wonder filled her eyes as she sew the glossy lengths of hair that swept the floor. To an onlooker Mrs. Richardson might have seemed a aomewhat grotesque figure in her quilted magenta silk dressing gown, with her gray fringe pinned up by her maid in little twists and rolls, bat her honest eyes beamed with kindness and sympathy. " Oh, I have been so wicked ! " repeated Leah. All these months I have been pray- ing that he might nob suffer 'ae I have been suffering, and that in time he might forget me and be happy ; and yet, because my prayer has been. answered and that girl is helping him to forget, I felt as though I hated her ;" and then she hid her face in the folds of the gaudy dressing gown and shed tears of bitter shame and self -loath- ing: My dear. if you cry so you will make youriself ill," observed Mrs. Richardson, soothingly. " You have been esorely tried you poor child, but you are not witiked ; on the contrary, I thiiik few girls have be - hayed so well. Do not call te usself names, dearie ; Mra. Godfrey and I botea think you good, and we mean to do our best to make you happy." ' " Yea, and I am so grateful to you both, you dear, dear friends, and Leah raised her tear -stained face and kissed her with all the warmth of her loving nature. What was it to her that Mrs. Riohardson was an odd looking, eccentric old lady, whose curled -gray fringe and gay attire scarcely barmen- ized with her homely, weather beaten fea- tures ; to Leah her face was transfigured by the loveliness of a kind and tender nature. " I think I saw her as the angels did," she said long years afterwards to one who had served fot her as Jacob did for his beloved Rachel ; " for I loved every line of her dear, homely face. Oh, how she mothered me, who had never known mother love and how good and patient she was with me in my bed times ! If God had not taken her, I could never have left her—never !" For when Mrs. Richardeon died some years later, her hand was locked in that of her adopted daughter. Leah drooped far some time after this en- counter. Then, as the summer went on, she recovered herself gradually ; new duties and interests demanded her attention, end in the wholesome and active life led by the mistress of Sandy Hollow she found plenty to distract her thoughts. Mra. Richardoon was a great gardener, and on warm days she apent moat of her time in the open air ; they breakfaated under a spreading chestnut, and often dined in foreign fashion on the terrace faoing the sunset. When Malcolm went down to the Manor House in August before ha started for Nor- way, he walked aorose to Sandy Hollow with Mrs. Godfrey. They found Mrs. Rtch- ardson sitting in a shady retreat, with all her various pets round her. Leah was gath- ering flowers in the lower garden, she maid. She received Malcolm very kindly, for he was one of her favoritee, and talked to him a great deal about the girl—of her sweet temper, her docility and her patience. She has heard nothing of thaCwretehed brother of hers," she continued. Then. Malcolm shrugged his shoulders ; he could give her information on that eubject, he said drily—at, least a score of begging lettere had reached him and Cedric from New York, and had been consigned to the flames. Saul Jacobi was evidently playing hie old tricks and living on his wits ; he was utterly irre- deemable. Hugh Rossiter always prophesied that he would never die in his bed ; and this prediction Was unfottunately verified some three years later, when in a drunken brawl, a tipsy sailor lurched up against him one dark night and pushed him over the quay. No one heard hiS ory for help for the oaths and curses that were filling the air ; neither was his body found until the next day. Strange to say, it . was Hugh Rossiter who identified it ; and it was he who later on brought Leah a pathetic little proof that Saul had nob wholly forgotten his sis- ter. In the pocket of his shabby old coat—how shabby and how ragged it was Hugh never ventured to tell hers --there was a cheap lit- tle photo of Leah, taken when she was eighteen, tied in the first bloom of her young beauty, and on the envelope was written " My little sister. Leah," and the date of the birth. For no nature is wholly evil and irreclaimable and, perhaps, in spite of his tyranny and cruel tempers, there was a spark of affeotion in the man's heart for the young slater dependent on him. Leah al- ways believed this, and she wept the sad- dest, tenderest tears over the little photo. " My poor Saul," she said, " his nature was strangely warped, and he did nob know how to apeak the truth, and he could be hard and cruel—as 'know to my cost—but there were times when he was very good to me ; ". and so even Saul Jacobi had one humma 'being to mourn for him.

Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and 'uniforM cures, a record such as no other remedy for ,the diseases and weaknessess peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $5oo in legal inoney of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Palling- of Womb which they cannot. cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable -trial of their means of cure. They -have -the most remarkable record of cures madt by this world -famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any prepara- tion especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. A beautiful Georgia lady, Vice -President of the East End Palmetto Club, of Savannah, and prominent socially there, relates the following experience : You certainly have produced the finest medicine for suffering women that is to be had in the country. I want to recommend it especially to mothers. I was seventeen years old wheu my darling boy was born. Felt very exhausted and weak for a long time, and it seetned I could not get my strengthback. sister-in-law bought me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription (after I had tried several of the other remedies which are so much ad- vertised, and found no relief ). I had little faith in the medicine at the time and was so weak and sick that I felt discouraged, but within a week after I had commenced taking your ' Pre- scription' I was like a different woman. New life and vitality seemed to come with each suc- ceeding day, until, in a few weeks, I was in fine health. and a happy, hearty woman. My boy .is uow two years olcl, and, thanks to your splen- did niedicine, I am enjoying perfect health.

CHRISTINA ROSSETTI. Malcolm sat for some time talking to th two ladies ; then he made an excuse and 're off in searoh of Leah. He was well ac quainted with the grounde of Sandy Hollow and could have found his way blindfolded to the lower garden. It was a quaint old plaisanoe shut in with high walls, wbich were covered with fruit trees, where downy peaches and nectarines, and golden aprioote and big yellow plums nestled their sun -kissed cheeks againeb the warm red brioks. In the oddly -shaped beds all manner of sweet lerowing things seemed to jostle eaoh other—not forming stately rows or ordered phalanx, or even gay pat- terned borders after the fashion of modern flower bede, but growing together in the loveliest. oonfusion—peoniee and nastur- iums, sweet pear! and salvias ; and every- where crowds of roses—over arches, climb- ing up walls, hanging in festoons over the gateway, lone rows of Standards guarding the path like any army of beauteous Ama- zons, while all day long the heavy brown bees hummed round them and filled their honey bags with rifled sweets. There was a small green bench placed in- vitingly in a ahady corner, where Leah had seated heirself to rest after her labors. Mal- colm thought that her figure gave the finish- ing touch to the picture. She wore a white dress and a large shady hat, and a basket of Mantel' Niel roses was in her lap ; but when she caught sight of the visitor ehe rine so haetily that the basket waa upset and the roses strewed the ground at her feet. Malcolm felt concerned when he saw - how pale she had grown and how she was trembling from head to foot, but he thought it better to take no notice and to give her time to recover herself. " Have I startled you ?" he said lightly. " Let me pick up your roses for you. May I have this bud for myself ?" showing her his spoil. Then, whe,n the basket v as full again, he sat down beside her ; but it was Leah who broke the silence. She had not regained her oolor and her voice trembled a little. "I did not know you were in the neigh- borhood," she faltered, " and it startled me to see you at the gate. I have not been strong since the influenza, and even a little thing like that brings on palpitation ; but you must not think I am not glad to see you." - " Than you," returned Malcolm in a pleasant, friendly voice. " I only arrived iafishe Manor House lean evening, so you see I have lost nO time in coming over to Sandy Hollow. I wanted to see for myself how you were. You are rather too thin and un- substantial looking, Mies Jacobi ; " but all the time he was saying to himeelf that he had never seen her look more lovely. " What does it matter how one looks ?" she returned indifferently. " You are thinner, too, Mr. Herrick -; but then you work so hard. Do you know "—and here her, voice changed—" that I saw you :a fewhveeks ago. You did nob see me and I could not epeak ; you were with some friends." Leah's manner was SO significant and pregnant with meaning that Malcolm gazed at her inquiringly. " I do not remember ; I have eo many friende," he observed in a puzzled tone. "sniou had been to see those French pic- tures in the new gallery," she returned, " and a lady was waiting for you in her carriage." Then a sudden light broke in upon Malcolm. " It must have been my mother !" he ex- claimed, and then he stopped a little awk- wardly, for of course he remembered now ; but she finiehed his sentence quite calmly. " Yes, he was there—Mr. Templeton, I mean ; he was talking to a girl with fair hair, and with such a nice faoe—not pretty, but sweet and good, and they were laughing together. I oould hear him laugh quite distinatly—my hansom was so close." " Good heavens ! what an escape," Mal- colm said to himself inwardly ; " it was a near thing." Then aloud, " That was Anna Sheldon, my adopted sister ; she is the dearest girl in the world ; but you are right,ishe is not reah'pratty." " They seemed very happy," returned Leah, _bat her voice was full of wistful pain. Malcolm, wbo was a fellow sufferer un- derstood in a moment what she waa 'feel- ing, and hie kind heart prompted the rem. edy. " Cedric has been a great deal with them lately," he said quietly ; " my mother and Anna know all about his trouble, and they are very kind to him. It is good for him to be with friends who can make allowance for hini and help him." " But he seemed happy," persisted the poor girl ; " and-Tend—Mies Sheldon will soon make him forget things." But Malcolm shook his head. " I ain afraid not," he returned rather sadly. " Cedric is by no means happy, though we all do our best to 'make him so. He has had a greet shook, Miss Jacobi, and in spite of his youth he has suffered much. I wish I could tell you truthfully that he has forgotten you, but it would be a useless afaoledehoohootgoVtwenclanboonbleynofie: ial," and then, pe that time in the kindest [manner, he sketched the outline of Cedrio's projected travels and gave her a full description of his travelling ac:MayPaal;c1:1°iIbm:fore many minutes were over confidence was not thrown 8 Leah'a wan faoe brightened a little land her eyes lost their etrained look. "Thank you—thank you so muph, Mr. Herrick," she said gratefully, whenlhe had finished ; " no one has told me aeything about him, and it does me good WI know. And now will you do me a favor "—kuroing to him—" when you write next to Mr. Tem- pleton, will you give him a message from me ?" " May I know the message first ?" replied Malcolm cautiously. Then she smiled a little sadly. " Ah, you do not trust me. Well. I can- not wonder at that. But my meesage will not hint him ; indeed, I think it may do him good. I want you to tell him that I have been ill, hut I am getting well and strong now, and that I am with 0, dear friend who mothers and takes care of me and whom I love better every day, and that I am nentant and at peace. Tell him that I never forget to pray for him, and -that my one preyer and wish is for his bapPiness ; that I entreat him with all my heart' nob to let his disappointment, shadow his life ; thab if he can forget me, it would be wiser and better to do ao ; but if he remembers, let him think of me as though I were dead, and already praying for him in Paradiset Will you tell him this ?" Malcolm was eilent for a moment then he bowed his head, and Leah saw hire pencil the message rapidly in his note -book,. " He shall have ib—not a word ihall be mieeed," he said briefly. Then he nave the tears of gratitude in her eyes. " I will make him happier to know I am content," E he whispered ; " Cedric has euch a kind heart." " Yoo are right—I think that message will daliim good," agreed Malcolm. And thenLeith lifted theiwbasket and they walk- ed baokto the others. It was during this visib to the Manor House that, in an unguarded moment, Mal- colm's jealously kept secret was betrayed tcn Mrs. Godfrey's sharp eyes, though Malcolm never guessed the fact then or afterwarde. They had been having tea in the aloove as usual, and the Colonel had jut gone to the stables. to give an order for the next day. Malcolm had made some humorous speeoh or other about his wonderful agility for a man of his age, when Mrs. Godfrey re- marked innocently : " How strange that you should say that, -Mr. Herrick ! It is just word for word what Elizabeth said when she was last here. I never saw two people think so alike ;" andlYere Mile Godfrey laughed quite mer- rily, for once before she had accused Mal- colm of making Elizabethan speeches. But her lough died away when she saw Mal- oolm's faoe. It was too sudden and he was not prepared ; butt the next moment he was hanging over the parapet trying to °atoll a peacock butterfly and was actually joining in the laugh. " That reminds me of a funny story," he eaid, speaking rather rapidly, " of two fel- lows who coined each other's ideas and got rather mixed sometimen" and he told her the story from beginning to end with his old vivaoity, and when he had finished it he went off in search of the Colonel. But Mrs. Godfrey looked thoughtfully at the distant promect until Maloolm's foot- steps were no longer audible. " I feel like a burglar " she said to her- self—" as though , I had' picked a look and stolen something. I I, to call myself a olever woman and never to guese it ! But lithhas been too deep for me. He is very strong ; one might as well try to open an oyster with one's nails as to find out anything Malcolm Herrick wishes to hide." Mrs. Godfrey's: face grew more troubled. " Hie mouth was like iron," she whispered, 6' but his face was so white in the eunshise. Poor fellow—poor fellow,"in quite a eareseng tone. "But you will be safe with me—even Aliok shall not know. I wonder if he guese ses anything ; he only said yesterday that Mr. Herrick was different somehow. Ah, Elizabeth," she went en, pacing the terraoe restleesly, " even wise women like you and me make mistakes sometimes. Yes, yes, you have made a greab mistake, my dear ; " and theo she went into the house to get ready for her walk. Malcolm went to Norway and wondered why he did not enjoy himself more. He had congenial companions, good eport, and the weather was distinctly favorable, but he could nob get rid of his trouble. Wherever he went, in sunlight or moonlight, the shadowy presence of the woman he loved so passionately walk beeide him. On the shores of the lonely fiord of the pine forests, Elizabeth's bright, speaking face seemed to move before him like the will o' the whirr') ; even in the rustle of the summer breeze in the leaves he could hear her voice, with ite odd breaks and sibilant pauses, so curiously sweet to his ear. " I am possessed," be would say to himeelf---"I am possessed !" and indeea with all his strength of will he was powerless to resist that influence. Dinah still wrote to him from time to time. The Wood House was empty, she told him ; they had taken a house at Ulla - water for three months.

" Mr. Car- lyon is very far from well," she wrote, ".and his doctor has ordered complete rest) for some months, and we think Elizabeth needs rest and change, too, so altogether it Kan excellent plan.' The Ullswater scheme seemed to work well. Dinah told Malcolm that Mr. Car- lyon and Elizabeth were out together most of the day—fishing, boating, or roaming over the country in search of ferns and wild flower& " The life just suits Eliza- beth," she went on ; " she likee the quite and freedom. And then she and Mr. Carlyon do eaoh other so much good, He was so weak after the funeral that it is my private opinion that but for Elizabeth's care and de- votion he would soon ha,ve followed David.

Her favorite amusement seems visiting the cottages and talking to the women and children ; they get quite fond of ' the red-headed lady,' as they call her. But in the evening we are all together and then Mr. Carlyon or Elizabeth reads [dead." Malcolm was hard at ,vork in his cham- bers long before the sisters returned to the Wood House. His book had:proved a great semen, and the leading papers had review- ed it most favorably. He had now com- menced fresh work, and spent all hie leisure hours at his debit. When Amble Keeton complaieed that the studio evenings were things of the past, Malcolm looked at him a ilittle sadly. " I can't help it, old fellow," he sadd gravely ; " my social qualities are a bit rusty, but I will behave better by and by ;" and then he nodded to Verity and went baok to his papers and wrote on grim- ly, as though some unseen taskmaster were behind him, readyito scourge him on if he loiit‘eldreyd.wor k saved me—I had nothing else to live for," he said long afterwards ; "noth- ing elee-fully occupied my thoughts and made me forget my troubie. When I was turning out copy I was ,almost happy. I was not Malcolm Herrick ; I was the heir of all the ages entering into my kingdom." " Yes I know what you mean, ' replied the friend to whom he had said this ; the ohildren were strewing flowera and there were timbre's and harpe and' they had crowned you with laurel leaves, as though you were a conquering hero." " Something of that sort," he returned laughing. " But you muter not make fun of my sweet mistress from Parnassus ; it kept me sane and cool to woo my reluctant Muse. At times she frowned, and then I set my teeth hard at work like a navvy ; but when she smiled my pen seemed to fly in the sunlight and I was warm and hap- PY-" Malcolm sent a copy of his book to Dinah, and she was nob long in aoknowledging it. " We have both read it and think it beau tiful," she white. " I trled to read ib aloud to Elizabeth, but I got so ohoky over it and stopped so often that she grew impatient at last and carried off the book to finish ib in her own room. She wants me to tell you how much ehe likee it. She has sent a copy to Mr. Carlyon. Now I am going to tell you a piece of news that will rather surprise you, but Elizabeth did not wish me to drop a bint until things were definitely settled. " Mr. Carlyon has resigned hie living. The doctor has told him plainly that another winter at Stokeley will be too great a risk ; the place is very bleak and cold, and the work far too hard. The Biehop is going to put in a younger man. " Mr. Carlyon is actualiy coming to Roth- erwood, and is to take David's place,"— Malcolm started and frowned when he came to this. " You will be surprised of course —every one is—but it is really a most excel- lent arrangement. " You see, Mr. Charrington's health is not good, and am he will have to winter abroad, he really requires a. ourate-in-charge who will- be responsible for the parish. The salary will be very little less than the inoome of Stokeley ; there is no house, but we have got over this difficulty. no you remember that low, gray house, with the rowan tree over the gate, juet by Elizabeth's' Home of Rest, where litble Kit died ? It is scarcely more than a cottage, 'sub it is very ooey and comfortable, and quite large enough for Theo and her father. There are two sitting roome—the larger -one is to be Mr. Carlyon's study, they will nob need a drawing-room—and four bed -rooms, and the garden is really charming. Rowan Cottage belongs to us, so we can ask a nominal rent. I cannot tell you how happy all this maker' Elizabeth. Mr. Carlyon has been her one thought since David died. She feels it mesh a privilege to watch over him and attend -to hie little comforts. She is at work now at the cottage, getting everything ready for them, for they are expected in about a fort- night's time., But what a volumn I am writing, my dear friend, and as usual about our own affairs. By the bye, I have never given you Elizabeth's meseage. She says!, that now you have become a celebrated author, she hopes you will not forget your old friends at the Wood House. Of course, tbis was only one of her joking speeches ; she makes her little jokes now and then. What she really means is that you have not been to see us for a lcng time, and that when you come you will be welcome." Malcolm read this letter at least a dozen times, and earth time he came to the mes- sage he smiled as though he were well pleas- ed • nevertheless he made no attempt to o wirei tittatphlee grefeeplion of that half hour in the ohuroh-yard, he had not seen Elizabeth since her tronble—an instinctive feeling of delicacy had warned him to keep his dis- tance.. Nearly eight months had paesed, but he was still unwilling to force himself upon her, and the present moment seemed to him particularly unpropituous. Eliza- beth's thoughts would be occupied with the preparations at the cottage. He knew her so well • she never did things by halves, and she wousld be at Rotherwood all day long. No, he would not ge yet, he said to himself; it would be time enough when Cedric came back, and then he would go down to the , Wood House as a matter of course. It cost Malcolm some effort to keep this resolution when Cedric deferred his return week after week.

In memory of Maryan Strong, wife of Mr. DavidHay, who died in Seaforth, on Sunday, June 7th, 1903, aged 40 years, 6 months and 14 days : A loving one from us was taken, And one we loved so well ; She has passed from earth to heaven, The angels' song to swell. Just two weeks since ahe left us, Lefb her suffering and her pain ; She is free from every trouble, And we know we'll meet again. Yes, we miso our darling Mary, Miss her loving, fond embrace ; Miss her cheerful words of welcome, Mies her "dement, smiling face. She is gone, oh, how we miss her, As she rests beneath the sod ; There her form is calmly sleeping, But her spirit is with God. She, we know, is with the angels, Dressed in purest robes of white ; Walking by the strea,m of pleasure, In the land where therehr no night. We must brave earth without her, Mina her all along the way ; •. - And prepare our hearts to meet her, In the bright, eternal day. SICKLY BABIES. Week, sickly babies are a great trial to mothers. They need constant care both night and day, and soon wear the mother out. Baby's little stomach is the cause of most of the trouble ; it is very weak, and, in oorasequence, very easily upset. Baby's Own Tablets will -nure all baby troubles. They are mildly laxative and give prompt relief. Concerning them Mrs. R. J. Bal- four, Omemee, Ont., says " I have used Baby's Own Tablets for stomach trouble and constipation, from which my little girl suffered, and they entirely cured her. They produced sound, refreshing sleep, and I re- gard them as indispensible in any, home where there are little ones." Mothers from all parts of Canada write in favor of Baby's Own Tablets, proving the claim 'that they are the very best medicine for all the minor ills of infante and yeung children.

Massey, who opened the Massey Hall and Library in connection with the Guelph Agricultural College, said that 1" he was proud to belong to a family of farmers. His gra,ndfather, a native of Vermont, ad til cleared 80 acres in this country, and his father hed been the means of introdtio g largely labor-saving agricultural implements and machinery. His late brother had made farming a study, and he himself took great intereet in it." That's all right. The farm- ers have done a good deal for the ltdasseys, and the Dimmers are doing something in re- turn for the farmers. Joe Stratford, the Brantford binder twine man, is aleo proud to be a farmer. But it is a little risky to belong to a profession that a fellow does not work at. They tell a story up in Oxford aboub Mr. Wallace Nesbitt, (now a Justice of the Supreme Court); going to a political meeting in Zorra some years ago, where the people were all Scotch Grite. Knowing that Tory politics' would not commend him to the audience, Mr. Nebite enlarged on the fact that hie mother had been a good Pres- byterian. He was getbing along well, until somebody offered to bet $10 that Mr. Nee - hitt could not recite the Ten Command- ments. Does Mr. Manley know Gee from Haw ?

The Grand Camp of the Sons of Scotland held its annual meeting in Brantford last week, and the next gathering will be held in Toronto in 1905. Several iniportant mat- ters came up for consideration. A commit- tee, consisting of W. Banks Toronto, (Chairman) ; W. Scott, M. P., Regina • R. -F. Sutherland, M. P., of Essex -and' W. McKinnon, was appointed to th'oroughly revise the constitution, and the Insurance Committee was made a permanent one. A. special coratnittee was appoiuted to continue the movement in favor of Dominion incor- poration. An agitation for an equalization of rates provoked a long debate, in which ninny of the delegates took part. At present there is one rate for members who joined before 1895, another for those who joined between 1895 and 1899, and a third for those who joined since 1899.'eAn effort was made to have the laet rate,- which was considered the proper one made general, but it was voted down. 'A proposal to continue the extension tax was also debated at length. It was considered, however, because of the recent large increase in memherehip, that it should be done without for a couple of years. As usual, there were many nominations. F. S. Mearns and A. Fraser, of Toronto, were the candidates for the position of Grand Chief, and the latter was elected by a large majority. For the Grand Chieftain- ship the nominations were, P. McGregor. Almonte ; W. Johnstone, St. Marys, and 111111MOINIIIIMP Sick Headache and Indigestion ; Nervous Systeme out of order—Health I restored by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food.

John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, is on the verge of a physical collapse. So completely worn out and ill Is he - from worry, hard work and ceaseless travel that fer several days he hem managed to get through his daily routine of work enly by the exercise of the strongest will power.. To -day Mr. Mitehell wan barely able to get to his office, and wan'then too exhausted to attend to his work. Mr. Mitchell's eol- leagues have viewed his failing health ssith growing concern, and have persistently urged him to restrain his energies,. The famous labor leader however, has per- sistently fefueed to re'lenquish any of his responsibilitiee. The National Executive Board of the United Mine Workers hear fuaally asked Mr. Mitchell to take the complete „reab he no sorely needs. nletatisneo BY OVICRWORK. In his treatment of himpelf Presidisat Mitchell is an unsparing taeltmeater, man of the organization works harder with pick than dote he with hand and brain in the conduct of the vast intereste over which he is placed. Presidenb Mibohell attends conferenoes, from one end of the country to the other. His mail is almost as large as that of a Cabinet minister, and his influence is felt in all departments of the organization. In addition to this he is a. voracious reader, and keeps himself poeted on all questions of public moment. There can be no doubt that the treraende ous skein incident to his victorious struggle against the coal operators lad winter to some extent undermined hie oonstitution, and he may now be paying the penalty of too earnest devotion to his work at that time. HIS WORK AS A LEADER.. John Mitchell was born in Braidwood, Illinois, on February 4t11, 1869. In hire early manhood he worked in the minee at that place, and later he followed the same vocation in several other States. When the - United Mine Workers of America, was formed in 1890 he was among the -charter. members. He served suceeseively as d.ele- gate to numerous diatriot conventions, and in many offices in the local union, to which we was attached. At the Columbus convention in 1898 Mr. Mitchell was elected national vice.presi- dent, and in the same year he became actitg president on the resignation of M. D. Retch - ford. At the national convention in Pitts- burg in 1899 he was elected. to the presi- dency, and he has held that position by annual re-election ever since.
