AN OLD SONG.
When giants lived in ancient times,
Singheigh, gh, my boy, sing ho !
In good old England, or foreign climes,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing ho !
They carried things with a high old
hand,
Nor strong, nor weak, could before'
them stand,
And they killed whom they pleased
throughout the land,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing ho
But the giants didn't have things
their own way when Jack -the -Giant -
Killer arrived on the scene. You re-
member the story. Recollect, too, that
every age hasits giant -killer. We have
our giants in the form of all sorts of
dread diseases, supposed to be incur-
able. Our Jack is In the - form of Dr.
Pierce, who has proven the expression
"incurable diseases" to be a fallacy.
Can you imagine more potent weapons
to assist a woman in killing the giant -
disease, than Dr. Pierces Favorite
Prescription? Its the only guaranteed
remedy for all functional disturbances,
painful disorders, and chronic weak-
nessess of womanhood, In female com-
plaints of every kind, if it ever fails to
benefit or cure, you have your money
back. It's simply a question of the
company you prefer—the giant or

WORK IN TEN YEARS -13E REGAINS
HEALTH AND STRENGTH—MIS NEIGH-
BORS DISCUSS THE REMARKABLE
CURE.
From the Listowel Banner.
Trowbridgeis a pretty little village in
the county of Perth. It is five miles
from a railway, and gains in rural
quietness a compensation for the loss
of the bustle of the larger towns. One
of the best known residents of the
village is Mr. Isaac Deleyea, who has
lived there for upwards of 40 years, in
fact ever since the "blazed" road
through the woods led• to the site of
what was then laid out as the district
metropolis. As far back as the writer's
memory goes, Mr: Deleyea has been
sick nearly all the time, and unable to
work, and when it was reported last
spring that he was cured and claimed
to be cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
the Banner kept an eye on the case,
letting it run ou until a few days ago
to see whether the improvement wordd
last, and then set out to investigate for
ourselves. We found Mr.Deleyea look-
ing both well and active to say the
least. In reply to our enquiries as to
his health be said he felt young again,
and felt that he was fully cured, and
was quite willing to tell his story as he
had no room• to doubt the efficacy of
the remedy in his case. "I have been
sick;" said he, "for twenty years and I
have not done a month's work in ten
years. I became all bloated out and
my legs swollen very much. From
this trouble I could get no relief. The
medicines I got from the doctor helped
me but did not cure rne. Nothing
would take the swelling away and I
was beginning to feel that my condi-
tion was desperate. I could hardly be
about and could do no work, not`even
of the lightest description. A year Wil-
liams'
I read ot the wonders done by Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills and bought a couple
of boxes. The first box and a half gave
me the sensation of having myflesh
prodded all over with pins, but 1 began
to feel better and determined to keep,
on taking the pills. I have taken
twenty-eight boxes in all, and although
it seeits a large number, I would will-
ingly take twice that gnantitq rather
than be in my old condition of almost
helplessness and suffering,'All the
swelling has•entirely disappeared and I
feel a well man again, and better than
I have been for a great many'years."
In reply to a question Mr. Deleyea said
he was sixty-six years of age and had
been ill for frilly twenty years, and he
added earnestly ""nothing else in the
world but Pink Pills cured me, and I
believe they will cure anyone who
gives them ea fair chance. Ask any of
my old neighbors how sick I was, and
how I have been cured. Why, I not
only feel like it new Man dins look like

and astounded.

"Kent, Margy Keltt."
"What does she do ?""
"Acts."
"What?"
"Oh the stage. She electrifies vast
audiences, holding them spellbound with
her renditions of Juliet, Desdaulona and
other classical parts. Father, you just
ought to see her. I know you'd like
Mangy—she's so winning."
"Ralph, are you crazy ? What posses -

" What I with to know is—"
"Silence, sir. Ain I, in these declin-

only son marry an actress ?"
Will yon—"
"No,- I will not, Never shall you
marry this woman with my consent. 1f
you marry her without it, every cent of
my e'ortuue goes to the Houle for Incur-
ables."
''Won't you let--"
"I tell you, no. Our family is respec-
table. Our good name has never been
sallied. The escutcheon of our honor is
bright as a silver dollar and our integ-
rity has always ben at par. I will
never allow you to disgrace the name of
Porter."
"For the last time—"
"First, last and forever understand
me. I have 11—"
The door slammed and Felix Porter
was left alone.
"Well, well,'' said he, taking breath ;
"so this is the outcome of lits •theatre-
going, eh? I thought he was develop.
ing a great passion for classical dram
a—
•tnd this'is tae Upshot of it. How sleall
I stop thio retrogression ?"
Rt•sutning his chair, he took on an at-
titude of reflection.
"First," he Mused, "it is undoubtedly
the lack of a house and home comforts
that has thrown Ralph upon the niad
metropolis for his amusement. He has
met many people, among them an ac-
tress, and he is indiscreet enough to
fancy himself in love. Second, the
chances are if lie can now have the lux-
uries and enjoyments of a home, he
will forget these people and regain his
hereditary common sense. It follows,
therefore, that I inUst get married and
furnish elicit a home. I'll do it 1"
Felix Porter argued from effect to
cause and decided upon an alternative
with startling exp;dition. Be it said,
towever, that Mr. Porter had been
thinking for some time of gettingmar-
ate!, and here was a pretext. He fondly
persuaded himself that he was eacrific-
ng a single life, blessed in the extreme—
ell for. Ralph. Ralph must be drawn
rom the society of the stage -folk and, in
he Light of his own desire, the senior
Porter saw but • this way of doing, it.
Yes, he would get married..
Having decided the matter, the ques-
ion of whom should he marry presented.
tself,
•There's the Widow Burlingame," he
mueed ; "she has been Married three
imes, she's dressy and old enough to be
sensible. That's just the trouble. She's
0, if sae's a day --too old, too old."
Felix Porter, on the shady side of 50
imself, was cer.ainly too exacting in the
matter of years.
"Then there's Miss Marmaluke, George
armaluke's maiden sister. George is a
ood fellow and belongs to my lodge, and
is sister is—well,' she's literary—wears
ogles and is horribly homely. Silo
.on't d0."
It was evident from this that the lady
lust be beautiful, or at least comely, to
nes muster. This was unjust, consider.
ng Felix Porter's Mild li&ad, Lis grey
whiskers and appearance of general
ecay.
"'!'here's Mrs. artin—Rose, I think
at Martin calls But she's 20 i I
on't want to marry a schoolgirl. Miss
ohnson — Madam d'Aryault — the fat
Liss Jennings—none ot thein, none of
hens will' answer."
He sighed and picked up his paper.
Perhaps Mr. Porter was too exacting.
t any rate, he was old enough to have
is own ideas, and if a man doesn't
now what he wants at 51 years it
ould be vain for him to live a hun-
red.
""I have it 1" 'said Mr. Porter,

unsightly brownstone and ,putting in the
finest of Milian marble. If anything
else doesn't suit, just mention it. What-
ever money can uo shall bo done fur
your dear sake.
I purchased a copy of "Se. t i h
Chiefs" immediately upon receipt oI
your letter and 1 litre It, oh, so much,
in fact, almost all of Hans Christian
Anderson's works are familiar to me,and
I and of the opinion. that 'Seottisli
Chiefs' is his best.
My picture goes along with this, I
had this taken jest as I was recovering
from a ferer and my hair had all come
out, but it is in again, so You needn't
borrow any trouble on that head.
Hadn't we better meet pretty soon ?
Shall I call on you or will you call on
'me ? Please say which soon to your
own dear FELIX PORTER:
MY ADORED FELIX,—Oil, how your
dear letters till me with joy, They read
just like fairy tales; so vaguely sugges-
tive, so loving and heartfelt. But 1 must
tell yo'1 something before \re meet,
Felix. I have been an actress, end 1
fear this may prejudice you against cne.
You are not angry with me, • dear one,
for having earned my living on the
stage? And then I will appoint a time
and place for our meeting. How I long
to see you,.foryour photograph plainly
shows how handsome and good you are.
Awaiting your early answer, lovingly,
CLAIRE.
To tilis billeteloux Felix Porter thus
made reply without one moment's hesi-
tation':
SWEET CLAIRE, — Yours received.
Could 1 find fault.with you for having
been an actress? Never, oh. never. Any-
thing that is Honest is honorable, my
dear little Claire. You do not drop ole
whit in my estimation for having earn-
ed your living behind the footlights.
Rather do I admire you'for it, and exult
in your glorious ability to make a live-
lihood.
In your next be sure and tell me
where I can meet you, for I burn to
press you to my.bosom and smother you
with kisses. Expectantly, FELLY.
"The next letter tells the story," said
Felix Porter to himself ; "I call upon
her and all will be plain sailing right t p
to altar 1"
With what emotions the gay old fellow
*took up the rose -tinted letter from where
the postman had rudely thrown it. He
opened it. Here are the contents of that
final missive :
DEAR GovERNoR—Say, father, what's
the use of makiuo' such a fool of your.
self any longer? 1 have been carrying
on this correspondence with you right
along, just for the purpose of gettnig
you to remove the bane from actresses,
so I could marry Margy. You see, a
friend of Margy's put that "personal" in
the Herald, and Margy showed me that
letter from you requesting a reply to
"box 842," I recognized the handwriting
and the postofl'co box, so, for the fun of
the thing, I offered to carry ou the cor-
respondence. The lady agreed, and I
have had the satisfaction to secure your
unbiased opinion of actresses. Much
obliged father. I could want' no better
recommendation for Margy. I marry
her tonight and we come direct to your
"brownstone front"'i, and take up our
abode. I am of the opinien that the
refining influences of a home will ulti-
mately Dire you of that deplorable habit
of answering "personals." EXpceet
Margo and me at tixe house to=morrow
afternoon.
How i long to have you "press me to
your bosom and smother me with
kieSes." Hastily, ' RALPH,
Felix Porters son did just as he said
he would do, and Felix Porter himself
said _ never a Word to the contrary._
