PUT YOUR FINGER
ON YOUR PULSE.
If It Is Weak or Irregular don't Heal*
tate,to Start the use of Milburn's
Helm and Nerve Pills at once.
With a strong, steady, regular pals*
We may expect vigorous health.
With a weak, irregular, intermittent
pulse we can tell at once the vitality is
low -that Dizzy and Faint Spells, Smoth-
ering and Sinking Sensations and similar
conditions are bound to ensue.
By their action in strengthening the
heart, toning the nerves and enriching
the blood, Milburn's Heart and Nerve
Pills relieve and core all those distressing
conditions just enumerated.
Mrs. B. Croft, residing on Waterloo
Street, St. John, N.B., sa :
" For some time pas ve suffered
from pallor, weakness a d n reous pros-
tration, I had palpitate n d irregular
beating of the heart so severe as to
cause me great alarm. I was treated
by physicians, but got no permanent
relief.
"I am glad to say that from Milburn's
Heart and Nerve Pills I derived the
first real benefit that I ever got from
any medicine. My appetite is improved,
my entire system toned up, and I can do
no less than cheerfully recommend these
pills to all requiring a reliable heart and
nerve tonic."
Miss Mary S. Nicks, South Bay, Ont., says
Laza-Liver Pills cured her of Sick Headache,
from which she had suffered for a year.
Canada's Steady Progress.
Less than a month ago the spectacle
was presented of the leader of the Con-
servatives in Quebec engaged in the de-
nunciation of the Dominion Govern-
ment, because, according to him, the
exports of the farm products from the
Dominion had fallen off. "Why" he
exclaimed "does not the Government
of Canada prevent this falling off?"
The Opposition press followed his ex-
ample, and there was a perfect chorus
of newspaper bewailings at the impo-
tency of'the Administration.
Now, it appears that the Jeremiahs
opened too early. There is no falling
off. There is a substantial increase in
the shipments of the staple products.
Professor 'Robertson affirms that it
will be a record year, There will, he
says, be between seven and eight mil-
lion dollars worth of Canadian bacon
exported when the season ends,as com-
pared with five million dollars worth
last year,
Then we learn that the shipments of
butter from Canada's chief shipping
port now number over 206000 packages
or I2000 more than at this time last
year.

RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS.
"I have tried Milburn's Rheumatic Pills
and find they do all that is claimed for
them. I cannot say too much in their fav-
or." Mr A. Swift, 199 Simcoe street, Tor-

who knew him.
A Diamond Mine.
Worked For the Benefit of All
Economical Homes.
A diamond mine! Where ? ht here
in our own Canada,andworked for th e.
fit of all economical homes.
The variety of diamonds in this mine is
wonderful, and the supply is simply inex-
haustible. All the latest colors are repre-
sented in these diamonds; they are of the
first water, and under the most seyere teats
they are always found reliable, true and
genuine.
These diamonds are known as Diamond
Dyes,oelebrated all the world over for their
brilliancy, purity and durability. These
Diamond Dyes possess marvellous and as-
tonishing powers. When used according to
directions that accompany each one they
e new life and beauty to all faded, dead
dingy -looking garments. Each of these
and Dyes gives in return, to the user
in money value o.' from ten totwenty times
the coat.
Have you tried any of these Diamonds
-Diannond Dyes ? If not, then look up
some old faded dress that you have laid
aside,or some jaoket,blouse,rrbbons or hose,
and give these wonderful Diamonds a trial.
They will surprise you with the magnifl-
cenoe of their work.
Now just a word of warning if yon are a
novice in the work of dyeing. Beware of
adulterated paokage and soap grease dyes
that bring only trouble, disappointment
at.d vexation of spirit, as well as complete
rain to otir inaterrals.

THE MAN WHO WAS FORQOTTON.
"Set him there, where he may see me;
Let me hold his little hand;
Seep my memory before him.
So that he may understand;
Let hint look upon my visage
As I draw my latest breath;
Let him close my eyes when, sightless,
They shall stare at him in death.
"Let him look; he may remember!
In the years to come, perchance.
He may still recall his father,
Back across the dim expanse,
God, thou hest been kind—I thank thee!
Thou hast given me to see
Him whose flesh is mine; I pray thee
Let my son remember mel"
The wondering child bent over,
And he kissed his father's brow.
They that listened heard the grating
Of the sable boatman's prow.
There were tears and sobs and sighing,
But the father only smiled
And in death still gazed up fondly
At the prattling little child.
ENVOY.
There's a gravestone that is mossy, and ananfe
is carved thereon;
There'll a wife that once was widowed, but the
years have come and gone;
There's a son to whom a father's tender love
is all unknown,
And the name he bears is not the name that's
carved upon the stone!
—S. E. Kiser in Cleveland Leader.
THE LION'S CLAW.
Lieutenant Julien de Rhe had returned
in a sad state Froin his station in Cochin
China. Convalescent, after three months'
illness at his mother's home in Touraine,
he shivered at the first wintry breath in
the autumn air and was ordered by the
doctor to Pau -"Just what you want-.
mild but bracing climate."
So in mid-November Julien sat at hie
sunny window in Hotel Garderes gazing
at the Pyrenees and smoking a cigarette
in honor of his recovery.
"Dry faith! Pau is full of pretty wom-
en," he said to himself the first time he
went to listen to the military band at the
Place Royale. Neither libertine nor fop,
the young follow thrilled with .a fresh joy
in living as be put on his ooat with its
shining three straps, the rosette of the
Legion of Honor in the buttonhole -the
rosette his mother had laid on his bed
when he was so ill, and that he thought
he would only wear in his coffin.
How jolly Pau was anyhow, with its
vast horizon, its snowy peaks, its brilliant
sun, the cosmopolitan crowd, where pretty
foreigners chatted all the languages of En -
rope like tropic birds in an aviary I A few
sad sights to be sure -the consumptive
young Englishman in a bath chair, wrap-
ped in plaids, with the eyes of a boiled
fish, a blank taffeta snuffler over his mouth.
It gave one a shiver, yet -man is so selfish
-it made Julien remember what a skele-
ton he had been three months ago, with
chocolate rings under his eyes, and here
he was cured, tossing silver coins to the
beggard and watching the hearty little
American girls in flyaway frocks and
black gloves and stockings, dancing a
"ring around a rosy" to the band's quick-
step.

Just the frame of mind for falling in
love, wasn't it? This the happy conva-
lescent proceeded to do the first time he seb
eyes on Mlle. Olga Babrine, the belle of
the Russian colony, as she dismounted in
front of Hotel Gasson-the coup de foudre,
in fact. Back from fox hunting ono oven-
ing at 5, she had slipped from her horse
into the arias of the ninublest of the pink
colored adorers who rushed for her stirrup.
Striking- the veranda table with her crop,
ate bad called -fora cup of milk and drank
it off at a draft. Looking like n Primat-
tiocio gofldcss, her filar figure and copper
colored hair iilumrnabed by the flaring
sunset! she paused, laughing merrily, a
creamy Mustache on her upper lip. Sud-
denly,grave, with a ourt, imperious nod,
she loft the redcoats and entered the hotel,
tapping her riding habit with her whip.
Three days later, after many a "Who is
she? I must know her!" to his acquaint-
ances, Julien got himself introduced -not
a difficult process - and joined the fair
Russian's court.
Was she a Russian, after all, this intoxi-
cating creature, who rode all day and
waltzed all night? Yes, by hor putative
father, her mother's first husband, Counb
Babarine..
But eve1:y one remembered that at the
time of Olga's birth her mother -the
daughter, by the way, of a New York
banker named Jacobson -was getting a
divorce, probably on account of her notori-
ous liaison with a northern prince royal,
some Christian, or Osoar, or other. Whee
was the nationality of a child brought up
successively in a Soottish nursery, a Nea-
politan convent, a Genevan pensionnat,
who had slept half her nights on the cush-
ions of the express, whose memory was a
ereoscope in which revolved a series of
tering places and winter resorts, whith-
er her mother, handsome still in spite of
er sipelas, had carried the ennui of a fad-
ing quette along with her samovar and
her pet monkeys? The odd girl used to
say, laughing at herself: "I am neither of
London nor of Paris nor of Vienna nor of
Petersburg. I'm of the table d'hote."
Had fihe any family? Hardly more so.
ger real father, the Oscar or Christian so
often referred to by Mine. Babarine, had
been dead some years, and the Russian
count, her legal father, never bothered his
head about her. Utterly bankrupt, a civi-
lized Leather Stocking, who won all the
pigeon matches, his unerring gun gave
him a living. Tho countess, in spite of
periodical attacks of maternal devotion -
painfully hollow -was gifted with one of
the perfect, absolute, spherical egotism
that never show a flaw, When Olga at 8
had almost died of typhoid, Mme. Babarine
of the white bands -for the cake of de-
cency sitting up with her ohild-did not
once forget to put on her gents gran.
All this De Rhe learned aftor enlisting
in the flying squadron that maneuvered
about fair Olga. Ho began to love the
strange girl, who let him look straight into
her oyes, and who said to him as abs lit a
pheresli cigarette the day a friend present-
ed lain: "Ah I 'You are the man who is so
mach in love with mel How do you do?"
giving him a hearty handshake, like a
man. Tho sailor, true hearted fellow that
he was, loved her the more as he grew to
understand and pity her. For he was
right -Olga was fantastic, 111 brought up,
but neither a flirt nor a snob..,13'eeling per-
haps the vanity of her life of pleasure, she
judged, and that severely, her fox hunting
adorers and her ootlllon partnere. All de-
sired her; none esteemed her; not one had
made hor an offer of marriage. So she
pulled them up short if they ventured to
speak too close to her ear in the whirl of
the waft% or pressed too long the hand she
held out to them en oamarade.
Julien, sensitive and discerning, discov-
ered the eeeret Vigil heortedness of the
"thorough " as Oleg ypap pausd. He
loved her, tool tel i19r by, of oouree,
and his head would swim w an at • Daum
in the dance the auburn haired goddess,
with the black eyes and the tea rose skin,
would lean on his arm and would intoxi-
cate him with hor starry gaze and violet
breath. But he loved her above all for her
sufforings, so proudly hidden. How his
heart ached when he naught the somber
look Olga turned on her mother at after-
noon tea, when Mme. Babarine, seated
with the light discreetly behind her,
evoked her royal oonqueets in northern
courts.
He would marry her -snatch her out of
this poisonous air, take her to his own
saintly mother, show her a true family -
save her! He sometimes fancied Olga un-
derstood his purpose. As she handed him
his glass of Rustean tea he thought he now
and then naught, deep in her eyes, a gentle
light that seemed an answer to hie gener-
ous pity.

"Yes, mademoiselle, my leave is up nett
week. I leave Pau tomorrow, and after
a few days with my sister in Touraine I
shall go to Brest. In a year I shall be at
sea again."
They were standing in the hotel v, riting
room, near the open window, with its pal-
pitating night sky.
"Goodby, then, and bon voyage," said
Olga in her frank, firm voice "But you
must give mea little keepsake -that lion's
claw you wear as a watch charm -a trophy
of an African lion hunt, didn't you tell
me? It appeals to the fierce and free in
me, you know."
Julien took off the charm and put it
into the girl's fingers. Suddenly grasping
hor hand in both of his, he said ardently:
"I love you. Will you be my wife?"
Olga freed herself, keeping the lion's
claw. Folding her arms, she looked
straight at hien, apparently unmoved.
"No, no, and yet you aro the first to love
me and to tell me so in that good way.
That's why I refuse you."
"Olgal" cried Julien in a choked
union.
"Listen to me and I will explain. I am
not worthy 'of you. You would be un-
happy with me. You remember your sis-
ter's letter that you said you had lost?
Well, I picked it up hero and read it. She
replied to the confidences you had made
her of your love for me, a love I had long
guessed. Her words showed me the vast
difference between a true, simple girl and
me, and I saw, too, what a real family is
-your family. Be grateful for the mother
you have, M. de Rhe. I have a mother,
too, but I have been forced to judge her.
You have seen only hor ridiculous sides,
but I know hor better. She would refuse
you my hand because you are only of the
gentry and in moderate circumstances.
She has decided that either I am to ,..aka
a brilliant match or she will find some-
thing else. I know a lot, don't I, for a
girl of 10? Horrible, isn't it? But it's
true. That's why last winter we were at
Nice, last summer at Scheveningen, now
at Pau. That's why we are rolling like
trunks from one end of Europe to the oth-
er. Mamma was aimost a princess royal,
you see, and from 15 I've been given to
understand that I was meant for an arch-
duchess at least, even if a left handed one.
"Marry a mere gentleman, almost a
bourgeois! Ah, you are disgusted, and
I'rn ashamed of myself. Do not protest.
Besides, I am expensive and usolc-=, and
you don't need me, and I wouldn't 'make
you happy, and I -don't love you. 1 don't
love any one. Love is in the things that
I've always been forbidden. Goodby. Get
up and go away without a word. But
leave me your lion's claw to remind me of
the honest fellow whom I have treated
honestly. Adieu!"

Three years toter one stormy night the
transport Du Couodic, hack from Senegal,
stopped at the Canaries to take on the
mail. A package of papers was tossed into
the Steers' moss, Do Rhes soateel there,
Opened a throe weeks' old Paris shoot, and
under the hepgdin_g "arrivals" road the
following: "II. M. the kW of Suable,
in the strictest incognito, as Duke of
Augsburg, is once more among us. An
unfortunate incident occurred at the sta-
tion, The Baronne de Hall, who, accom-
panied by her mother, Comtesse Babarine,
was traveling with his majesty, soddenly
missed an ornament of small value, but
to which Mrne. de Hall is, it seems, great-
ly attached -a lion's claw mounted in a
gold circlet. Mme. de Hall has offered
2,000 francs for its recovery."
"My dear follow, you'll miss your watch
if you don't look sharp."
"Thanks," said Julien; throwing down
the paper and springing up as in a dream.
That night the man at the wheel, alone
on the bridge with the young officer, saw
Julien pass his handkerchief several times
across his face, Strange, was it not, since,
though there was a stiff breeze, the spray
did not reach them? -Adapted For Argo-

The Outdoor Man
My loarntn' dou't amount to much, I'm
willin' to admit;
I never got much schoolin' - had to work
too hard -and yit e
I guess there', truths a man can learn by
Fel 1.i;1� lochia' around
Upon the things that grocv on trees and
come out of the ground;
There's sermons in the stones, they say; I
guess they've bit it right;
There's lessons in the leaves and in the
wind that howls at night;
There's lessons in the flying clouds and in
the brooks that flow;
There's lessons in the raindrops and the
cawin' of the crow,
And the feller who don't know it better
put his books away
And git out a while and listen to what
Nature has to say.
I don't pretend to be as wise as people
who eau write
Big books about the distant stars that
twinkle in the eight;
The man who's been to college and comes
out with a degree
Is probably more polished and far brainier
than me,
But, still,when such a feller starts to .make
it plain and clear
That everything upon this earth jist sort of
happened here -
Just come all by itself, without no helpnor
euidin' hand,
from nothing out of nowhere- jist occur-
red, you understand -
Ni; lay, then I have to think of things I see
from day to day,
And wonder if the Outdoors ain't the best
place anyway.
Some folks purtend tney don't believe in
God, because you see,
Tt ey seem to think it's kind of smart to
stand up and agree
With educated fellers who are s'posed to be
so wise,
And whosay a man quitsbizuess altogether
when he dies,
But I guess, if you'll examine, you'll dis-
cover that the men
Who have done the greatest thingson earth
all hoped to live agen !
If Washington could go to ohurch and praise
Jehovah's name,
It ain't no great disgrace fer sigh as me to
do the same
J(st take a look around you! God's put
lessons everywhere -
Why there's sermons in the thistle down
that tumbles through the air!
