'Siettereste of other sufferers, and give you a
teatiwouial in favor of your (to me) almost
enireoulous remedy, Paine's Celery Com-
, mound. For =ore Watt a year I was suffer.
Aug from the agonizing pains of sciatica,
.and after treing ail that medical ekill could
*yule, and usiug many remedies, patent or
entherwise, I concluded to try the Hot
Springs at Banff, I took the treatment
,ethoroughly and carefully for six weeks, and
einime home at the end of that time racked
reeith pain and weighing 43 pounds less. At
this juuoture, tvhen hope had tattiest tied, I
llitiard of Paitte's Celery Compound. It
reasoned to snit my case, and I sent to my
druggist, Mr. J. W. Higginbotham, of this
,lefacet, and asked about it. He recommend•
led it to me, and I took a bottle. I soon be-
gan to feel better, and after taking the se
•-,10end bottle I was a cured man and threw
',away my crutches.
I keep ri bottle on hand in case of any re -
•:*•the completer. I am now 58 years old,
• -ittui I feel as spry and healthy and free from
:.tsrein as I ever did in my life. I was born

*hen only three years OM. I was brought
extp in the township of Cornwall, Ontario,
;Send came to Maniteba eight year ago. Have
Whys been a farmer, and am as able to do
,tri work now as ever I was.
With a heart full of gratitude for the
itenefits derived hem the use of your reme•
44, and a wish to intlueuce others who may

Yours gratefully,

More Than it Was Worth
In the language of t he street "moue
talks" but there are instances whet
talk i tnoney. By means of the lon
distance telephone a conversation ca
be carried on between two person
hrindrede of miles apart. Such con ve
eation is rather expensive, howeve
and is restricted, as a rule, to matte
ot tirgent necessity, and no time is a
lowed to go to waste, for this is a cas
in which time also is money.
A young man in St. Louis,' finding
ime hang rather heavily on his hands,
dropped into a telephone exchange and
asked to be put into communication
with a friend in an eastern city. After
a short delay the connection was made
and the following conversation took
place:
Fletch! Do you hear me?"
'This is Sid. Thought I'd call you
"Glad to hear from you Sid. How
are vou?"
"First-rate. How's things?"
"Caloosnus. What's new?"
"Oh, nothing especially. Hadn'
anything lo do,you'lenow,and though
I'cl call you up.',
(Pause)
"Yes." (Another pause) "Everything
going on about as usual in the old
towe?"
"Yes, about as usual." (Pause)
"Awfully warm here to -day. What
kind of weather ate you having?"
"Fine. Splendid weather."
(Pause)
"Get tele letter I wrote to you the
other day?"
"Why, yes. Don't you remember I
answered it?"
"So von did. I forgot." (Pause) "Do
you have any trouble hearing me?"
"Not a bit. Can you hear what I
say?"
"Oh yes." (Pause) "I met the Dun-
censes t he other day. They wanted to
know how you were getting along,and
I told them that you were still on
deck."
"That's right."
(Pause)
"Well, how are you getting along?"
"First•rate. Anything new goitig
on?"
"No. Things are about as usual. It's
—h'm —beastly warm here. Weather's
fine where you are, is it?"
"Splendid."
(Panstel
"Well, I millet he going now. Aw-
fully glad to have achance to talk
with you, old fellow."
"Glad you called tne up."
"Good-bye!"
"Good-bye!"
Then the young man paid the bill
for the use of the long-distance phone.
It was seven dollars.

A woman's headaches may coma from
several causes. She may have a headache
arising from nervousness, or from digest-
ive disturbances. Nine oases in ten, her
headaches come from disorders peculiar to
tier rex. It may show itself in the symp-
t ms which are characteristic of a dozen
disorders. Thousands of times, women
have been treated for the wrong disorder.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was
compounded for the sole pnrpotte of reliev-
ing womankind of these Me and pains.
Thousands of women have testified that at -
ter taking treatment from several physi-
skeane without benefit, the "Favorite Pre-
seription" ,cured them completely and
qu7cley. It has been used for over thirty
years, and has an unbroken record of sue

The eanadian Foresters.
Receive the First License to Carry on Ir
•eurance in Quebec Under the New Law
—Splendid Record of a Staunch Canadian
Organization.
The Canadian Order of Foresters was the
first fraternal society to conform to the in-
surance law recently enacted in the province
of Quebec and have been granted the first
license to carry on an insurance brtsinese
there.
This staunch Canadian Society is forging
ahead and will no doubt continue to prove
as successful as it has during the past nine-
teen years.
This order now has a membership of 28,-
000, with a surplus of $618,365.75 on hand
May ist, to pay death claims. This amount
is deposited in some of the best monetary
institutions in Canada, and as the business
of the society is economically managed and
tlse rates are in accordance with safe in-
surance, the policy holders can rest content
in possessing a membership in one of the
best and most stable orgettieittiens doing
business in this country.
Daring 1897 the Order paid out in death
claims $152,352,53 and in sick and funeral
benefits 639,633.89. Over a million and a
half of dollars have beerfprtid out to its mem-
bers and their dependents since its organiz-
ation in 1879, notwithstanding which it has
n largsr surplus on hand for each 61000 risk
than any other eociety of the kind in Can -
da, Owing to the careful medical selection,
the death rate for the 18th year of its history
wits only 63 44 per thousand. The Order
poisesecs these excellent features, which
should appeal to everyone interested in safe
insurance : it is purely Canadian and is,
therefore, national in its el-wan:yr; the age
limit is 18 10 45; it hasa fixedpremiam, and
no death assessment; its in‘es/ merits are
perfectly secure, not a dollar of the sorplus
'being in:, caned outside of Canada, and the
pre.rni inns and interest accruing therefrom
are used only for payment o2 death claims.

fed the wayfarer,
One Saturday the housewife roasted a
large turkey, baked a batch of bread and
made a number of pies. She was ready
for her Sunday dinner and expected to go
to church the next day. The services weee
1 held a ntunber of miles away,
After 2 o'clock that Saturday afternoon
a single horseman appeared. He asked for
his dinner and fed his horse in the ample
stable of the farmer. The housekeeper
*was busy and the man in haste, so she set
the turkey before him, thinking that he
would not make much of an impression
upon it,
The stranger at down in front of the
turkey and sett to work. He cut into the
breast of one side and ate it all. His ap-
petite was only whetted He demolished
the wing and then cut off the leg. The
drumstick disappeared and the upper joint
was stripped. The woman stood aghast.
She pattered out to the back porch, where
her pies were cooling, and, selecting a
tempting apple pie, set it before her guest.
He put it tonne side and turned the un-
touched side of the turkey toward him.
He cut off the wing and the leg. The
woman saw her Sunday dinner disappear
before her eyes.
At length, having exposed all the bones
of the large fowl, he attacked the pie and
left not a crumb.
The woman sank in a chair near by.
She was too much overcome for a moment
to speak. Then she said:
"You seem to have enjoyed the teirkey,
There is not so much left as I expected."
She could say no more. She telt that
words were inadequate to the occasion.
The man pushed back his chair, took
out his quill toothpick, crossed his knees
and sighed with satisfaction. Then he
spoke:
"Well, madam," said he, "a turkey is a
very inconvenient bird."
He fell to ruminating. His countenance
expressed the benevolence which a good
dinner is apt to produce in a man.
The woman waited for him to explain,
but he was silent. Then she said:
"Why is the turkey inconvenient?"
"Well, madam, it is a little too much
for ono and not quite enough for two," re-
plied her guest.
The woman fainted. —St. Louis Re-

Milburn's Heart and Nerve rills from WA
minds of the most skeptical:
"For several yeare I have been a con-
stant sufferer from nervous headache, and
the pain was so intense that sometimes I
was almost crazy. I really thought that
my head would band. I consulted a num-
ber of physicians, and took many remedies,
but without effect. I noticed Milburn'.
Heart and Nerve Pills advertised, and as
they seemed to suit my case, I got a box And
began their use. Before taking them I was
very weak and debilitated, and would some-
times wake out of my sleep with a dis-
tressed, smothering feeling, and I was fre-
quently seized with agonizing pains in the
region of the heart, and often could scarcely
muster up courage to keep up the struggle
for life. In this wretched condition Mil -

AMATEUR DETECTIVE WORK.
--
It Stade one Man Dishonest and Let the
Guilty Escape.
"Some years ago," said a Kensington
manufacturer of cloth, "I found that my
mill was being robbed; once or twice a
mouth a piece of finished goods would dis-
appear. As the thefts were all from the
finishing room suspicion naturally pointed
to the hands there, and after a long while
of amateur detecting I felt pretty sure I
had my zhan. Yet I had no evidence
against him, nor could I, to save my soul,
get hold of any. I just suspected him, you
know. So one pay day I tested his hon-
esty.
"On pay day, you must understand, each
hand's money is given him in a settled en-
velope, on which Is written his timp, hie
rate per hour and the amount due. Well,
there was due this man $12, and in his en-
velope I put $22—$10 too much. As I had
expected, he said nothing. So I discharged
him. This man had worked for me eight
years. Times were hard, and he lay idle
for eight or nine menthe; then moved
away with hie family.
"Scarcely had he moved away when the
thefts, which had ceased for nearly a year,
began once more. Ouce more I turned de-
tective, this time with better luck, for I
caught the thief, and I traced every piece
of cloth he had stolen. The man discharged
was innocent save in the case of the $10,"
One of the manufacturer's small audi-
ence spoke gravely: "Yes, you did a clever
thing. You made a thief of an honest
man, You placed in an honest man's way
an almost unconquerable temptation when
ono considers the size of the salary you
paid him. The man fell because you trip-
ped him up. The Bible, I think, says
something somewhere about suoh deeds,
and you. are promised your roward."—
