The Brussels Post, 1908-9-17, Page 6gigasto•Ctouisolooeassoocsexsoecto.roa H OUNO FOLKS CLARE'S SHOPPING. Clare trivped along the city street, "Your slippers surely are shame - Lilly worn out, Flaxie,” she said, looking tenderly down at the dolly in her arms, "I kept thinking about them all the time the hoot man was fitting my new ties. But never mind! He has a whole glass box of the sweetest little shoes for you to choose from. And here we are now!" Clare was so little that the man in the shop had to open the door for her. "Good morning, Mr. Gray!" she said, "I've brought Flaxie in to get all kinds of shoes and slippers to wear this summer, just the way mother got them for Mabel and mo. We're going away to the coun- try to -morrow, you see." She plumped Flasio down in one of the chairs where people sit to try on shoes. Mr. Gray smiled. "Let mo see, you're Mrs, Holden's little girl, aren't you? Yes, I remember ; you were in yesterday. Well, we'll do our best for dolly. Solve blue ankle - ties perhaps would suit her?" "Lovely!" sighed Clare, settling back in a chair beside Flaxie, "And a pair of red ones, too, please, and some high button -up boots to wear on cold days. I want them all to be loose and comfortable," Mr. Gray opened the glass case and brought out the three pairs, as Flaxie's mama directed. "Put out your foot, Flaxie, dear, and try them on," she said. "Oh, aren't they beautiful and shiny? You must be careful of them." Flaxie, as smiling as her mama, wasrom tl fitted. "They seem just right," said Clare. "Yen don't thinly they'll pinch her toes, Mr. Gray?" "Surely not," he replied, grave- ly. "They're a half-size larger than her old ones. Now shall I send them over to your house, and the bill with them?" he asked. "Yes," said Clare, rather slowly, fox she felt a little uncertain as to this matter of the bill. "Only Flax - is must have a new pair of rubbers, too, to wear in the wet grass, and, oh! a pair of those cunning rubber boots, so she can wade in puddles if she wants to. You must sit still a few minutes longer, Flaxie, for I can't risk your getting wet feet." Mr. Gray tried on the boots and rubbers very quickly, and in a short time Clare and Flaxie were on the way home, "Well, that shopping is attend- ed to 1" thought the little mother, contentedly. Just after luncheon there came a package to the house. "It's from Gray's!" exclaimed. Mrs, Holden, "Why, the children's shoes came yesterday!" "These are probably Flaxie's shoes," remarked Clare. "I was just longing to have them come," "Flaxie's!" exclaimed the whole family together. "Yes, and they're lovely," an- swered Clare, snatching the boxes and tumbling out the little shoes. "And a bill for three dollars," added Mrs, Holden. "Why, Clare, how did you happen to buy things without mother's permission?" "Naughty Clare!" cried Mabel, reprovingly. "Don't say anything, Mabel. She didn't quite understand," said Mrs. Holden, Then she took Clare into the library. Afterward Clare told Flaxie all about it while she got her ready to go out in her carri- age. "You see, Flaxie, it wasn't like the times when mother sends us to the store for a yeastcako and tells us to say, `Charge it,' Because she didn't tell us to go. We went with- out her knowing it, and now some- body's got to pay Mr. Gray for the shoes. And it wasn't mother that bought them; it was you and I, Flaxie; so I'm going to pay for them out of my housobank there on the bureau. Mother's getting the screw -driver now so we can open the little door. And we're going to take out all the pennies and nickels and the dimes, Flaxie, and count out throe dollars, Then we're go- ing to Mr. Gray's shop this after- noon and pay them to him. Come here till I tie your bonnet, dear. Mother says that there will be hard- ly any pennies left in the house - bank at all afterward. I've been saving them so long, too! But then, Flaxie, it is the only way to do if I want to he fair, isn't that so?" And it really seemed as if Iflassie nodded her head, --Youth's Com- panion.

VITUS DANCE A Some Case oared by Dr, 111 - Baia Pick Pills. St, Vitus' dance is a disease of the nerves brought on by a mor- bid condition of the blood. It is a common disease with children and attacks females oftener than males. The only cure lies in plen- ty of pure bleed, because good blood is the life food of tho nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills-oure even the most severe forms of this trou- ble because they enrich the blood supply, thus carrying Mao neces- sary food to the nerves. In proof of this we have the statement of Mrs, Alex. Cameron, Summersido P. E. I., who says:— "Sense years ago my daughter Lena, then a child of ten years, became afflicted with St. Vitus dance. At that time she was attending school and the first indication I had that something was wrong, was that she appeared eas- ily discouraged in her studies. She was naturally a spirited child, not given to tears, but she would cry over what I thought should be easy work for her, The disease progress- ed so rapidly that in the course of a few weeks she became unable to hold anything in her hands, and we were obliged to take her out of school. She became so afflicted that she could not hold a cup to her lips without suddenly losing hold of it. I knew from the first by the symp- toms that her ailment was St. Vitus dance, and dispaired of sexing her cured, as it was looked on as such a hopeless ailment. She became so bad that she could not hold her- self still for the space of ten sec- onds. Her hands or feet were con- tinually moving and last of al] she would contort her features so that she was losing her natural expres- sion. At this stage I chanced on a paper containing a testimon-t.1 in favor of Dr. Williams' Pm- rills, describing the cure of a little girl afflicted as mine was. I hastened to get a couple of boxes of the Pills, and by the time she bad used them I noticed a decided change for the better, and purchased a further supply. By the time she had taken seven boxes she was entirely cured. Although she seemed thor- oughly cured I was afraid the dis- ease might return again, but it never did, and she has since enjoy- ed the best of health. I cannot thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enough for what they did for my child, and I hope my experience may be of benefit to someone a li1s- ed as my daughter was." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be obtained by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ,r HIS ALTERNATIVE. It is best to keep one's personal dignity at whateYer cost. A be- fitting sense of what is due one never comes amiss, even within pri- son precincts. This truth was ap- preciated by an Irishman whose expression of it is quoted by Mich- ael MaeDonagh, in "Irish Life and Character." The prisoner, refrac- tory and obstinate, flatly refused to work in the treadmill The man was brought before the governor of the prison for disobedi- ence. The governor asked him what reason lie could give for not fol- lowing out his orders. "Me go on the treadmill!" ex- claimed the prisoner, drawing him- self up to his full height of of- fended dignity. "Never, sir! I'd rather lave the jail first!"

The first applicant who came in answer to the advertisement was a stout, red- haired young woman. Mrs. Wick- ersham propounded several ques- tions to her, which she answered in a fairly satisfactory manner. Then she asked herr "How long do you boil tea?" "Well, mem," said the young woman, "some folks biles it longer, an' some shorter. It's all a mat- ter o' taste." "But you do boil it, don't you 7" "Oh, yes, certainly; but I've al - Inc thought that two hours was long enough to bile any tea. Von can git all the atren'th out of it in that time." SiMELT MUTILATED. Wanton Acts by Organized Groups of Marauders, Under the title of "Savage Sar- dinia," I1 Messaggero, the princi- pal ]roman morning newspaper, di- rected attention to tit© astonishing prevalence of lawless crimes in that island by organized groups of ma- rauders and savages, who often- times turn out to consist of some of the most prominent and highly respected fanners in the provinces. The other night eight masked in- dividuals, armed with guns and daggers, invaded a farm belonging to a benevolent proprietor named Calvisi, on the mountain side near Sassari. There they seized .the shepherd watching the flock, beat him senseless, robbed trim of the small cash be had on his person, and left him bound hand and foot and gagged. They then drove 500 sheep delivered to his enstndy a distance of a couple of miles to a lonely valley, where they ripped open 300 of these animals, and thrust their daggers into every one of the rest. Sardinia continues, as from time immemorial, to hold the record in all Italy for brutality, homicides, cattle wounding, incendiary fires and allied forms of damage to pro- perty. The criminal convictions for the latter crime are 4.32 in every 100,000 of the population. In tine single commune of Bitti, wherein the above vendetta has just taken place, no fewer than 1,500 sheep and 400 bullocks have been maliciously hamstrung since the be- ginning of this year. This extraor- dinary state of things is attributed largely to the notable deficiency of police and a rooted unbelief in the official administration of justice. M SENTENCE SERMONS. The greedy is always needy. Life is the mill in which men are made. They are richest who give the world most refreshing, 7 Making a name for gold does not make a golden name. Truth rests on facts, but her face reaches higher realms. Hope and aspiration joined make the energy of any life. It often takes a great load to get a man down on his knees. The failure to be feared is that of fearing to begin lest you fail. That is a good lesson on patience which is learned through pain. An appetite for flattery attracts our foes and repels our friends. Lots of people think that jeering at others justifies them for never trying. Pride simply is the dread of a puncture common to every pneuma- tic. article. When duty calls frons ease it al- ways will be found easier to obey than to refuse. For one man who desires to dou- ble his worth you will find a hun- dred passionately anxious to dou- ble their wealth. Fresh from the gardens of the finest tea -producing country in the world.

Time Has Tested It.—Time tests all things, that which is worthy lives; that which is inimical to man's welfare perishes. Time has proved Dr, Thomas' Ecleetric Oil. From a few thousand bottles in the early days of its manufacture the demand has risen so that now the production is running into the hun- dreds of thousands of bottles. What is so eagerly sought for mast be good. The largest flower in the world is said to be the reffesia, of Sumat- ra; it consists of five petals, each measuring .1 foot in width. The change of dietary that comes with spring and summer has the effect in weak stomachs of setting up inflammation, resulting in dy- sentery and cholera morons. The abnormal condition will continue if not attended to and will cause an exhaustive drain on the system. The best available medicine is Dr. J. 17. IKellogg's Dysentery Cordial. it clears the stomach and bowels of irritants, eounteraets the inflam- mation and restores tlrc organs to healthy action. RURAL SARCASM.

The same institution is likewise honored with the patron- age of Bing George of Greece and King Leopold. The Czar has pre- ferred to keep his ready cash in the vaults of the Bank of England, where,. it is said, he has at his com- mand nearly $16,260,000 in Russian gold. The gold deposited by these monarchs, unlike other funds which come into the banks, never goes out again into circulation, unless it be by express command of the Itoyal depositor.
