hours are numbered; that the victim

A Story Told by a Justice of the
- Peace.
Attacked With La Grippe, Which Left, Him
Weak and Worn Out -Kidney Trouble
Added Its Complications,and the Suffer-
er Was Discouraged.
From the Journal, Summerside, P. E. I.
One of the best known men around Bedi-
que and vicinity is Mr. Alfred Schurman,
who has recently removed to North Carle-
ton. Mr. Schurman was born in Bedique
about seventy years ago. Some twenty-five
years ago he was sworn. in as a justice of the
peace, and about twenty-mie years ago he
was appointed clerk of the county court, in
both of which offices he has given every
eatisfaction. Mr. Schurman was also a
farmer on a large scale, and, like most men,
engaged in thatioccupation, led a busy life,
being compelled to attend strictly to busi-
ness, but less than a year ago he retired
from farming, and now lives in a cosy cot-
tage in North Ca.rleton. Before his retire-
ment, work such -as only a man engaged in
that occupation knowns anything about,
claimed hie attention. His increasing years
made the burden heavier and the spring
work of 1893 wore him completely out. This
is what he tells about it, and how he was
cured. - " In the spring of 1893 the con-
stant ioil and drudgery connected with the
work cif farming wore me out, completely,
and the brekk down was the more complete
because the results were coupled with the
bad effects left by an attack of grippe.
One of the results of la grippe was a nasty
cough, another was the complete loss of ap-
petite.- My spirits were greatly depressed,
and I felt that I had lived out my days. I
always felt cold, and consequently the stove
and I were great friends, but the cold effect-
ed more especially my feet and caused me
great annoyance. Added to this compli-
cation was a serious kidney trouble, which
threatened to prove the worst enemy of all.
I was unable to do any work, had no ambi-
tion and less'etrength, and was not a bit the
better offal' the doctor's medicine I had
taken. It was my wife who advised me at
last to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I
bought six boxes and began taking them.
My hope revived because a change for the
better wars soon taking place, and before
they were done I was cured. The six
boxes brought back my appetite, strength
and ambition, in short, all that I had lost in
the way of strength and health. The next
spring, however, my health again gave way,
and I immediately began using the Pink
Pills again, and I am happy to say that
they affected that time a permanent cure,
and to -day I am as well and hearty as if
I were only - forty, I strongly recommend
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are
suffering as I was.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to
the root of the disease. They renew and
build up the blood, and strengthen the
nerves, thus driving disease from the sys-
tem-. Avoid imitations by insisting that
every box you purchase is enclosed in a
wrapping bearing the full trade mark, Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.

An Ideal Citizen.
The ideal citizen is the man who believes
that all men are brothers, and that the na-
tion is merely an extension of his family,
to be loved, respected and cared for ac-
cordingly. Such a man attends personally
to all civic duties with which -he deems him-
self charged. Those which are within his
own control he would no more trust to his
inferiors than he would leave the education
of his children to kitchen servants. The
public demands upon his time, thought and
money come upon him suddenly, and often
they find im ill prepared ; but be nerves
himselfftol the inevitable, knowing that in
the villag , state and nation any mistake or
neglect'non his part must impose a pen-
alty, sooner or later, upon those whom he
loves. -John Hebberton,
He :Wanted a Wheel.
" Well, niy son," said the editor to his
son, who wanted a wheel, "you'll find one
in the front end of that wheelbarrow, and
there is a big pile of coal ashes back of the
house that will have to be nrioved. The
handle bars are of white ash. and are ad-
justable, so• you can get any style of hump
on that suits your fancy. It is regulated
largely by the load you put on. The big-
ger the load the more you have to hump
yourself. Be careful and don't mar the
enamel on the frame,
and keep the ball
bearings well oiled, so they won't • out into
the cones. The tire is absolutely puncture -
less, so you won't have -to take a pump and
repair kit with you. By the , time you have,
removed that pile of ashes I think you will
have made a century run ; also the perspir-
ation. You'd better come in readinner now."

how easy it would be to conduct a private

pended by the neck from the twisted towel.
The accident happened in such a manner
that the young man could not easily help
himself, end the children did not sufficiently
realize the gravity f the situation to call

been the inevitable result had not the young
Ian' s struggles succeeded in placing him on

the kitchen fire and filled with hot water
and melted tallow. At the cooler end of the
kitchen two long poles were placed from
chair -back to chair -back. Across these poles,
like the rounds �f a ladder, were placed
shorter sticks, called candle.rods. To each
candle -rod were tied about a dozen straight
candle -wicks. The wicke were dipped again
and again, in regular order, in the melted
tallow, the aucceseioa of dippings giving
each candle time to cool. Bach grew slowly
in size till all were finished. Deer suet was
used as well as beef tallow and mutton tal-
low. Wax candles were made by pressing
bits of half -melted wax around the wick. -

JOHNSON'S QUICK WIT.
Vow the Ex -President Displayed It oaths
Stump In 4tranessee.
Tbere is in the city of Memphis a
preoinot known as Pinch, in which a
majority of the voters were Irish. It so
happened that Andrew johnson and his
oO_pponent for the United States senate,
wl NenrY, were to meet in joint de-
bate in this preeinct. 'The evening came,
and hundreds of blue Irish eyes were on
the.to speakers as they ascende4the
rostrum. Henry opened, and as a bid
for the Irish vote he told in withering
terms how Johnson, when in congress
before, had voted against a bill for an
appropriation to assist Ireland during a.
time of famine. He himself had done
yeoman work for the passage of the bill,
while this other man, who was now
asking their support, had done every-
thing possible to defeat it. It was a fine
point, and the speaker made the most
of it; burning before it the lamp of his
eloquence until the crowd were wild
with excitement. Then Henry sat down,
and Johnson got up amid catoalle and
scoffs to anrwer him.
"What my opponent has told you is
true," he said. "Ireland was suffering,
and Ivoted against an appropriation for
her relief, for the money which it was
thus proposed to give away was not
mine, but yours; yours because it was
in the publio coffers. I refused to give
away money which did not belong to
me, but I wept down into my own pock-
et and out of my own private funds -
which I had a right to bestow -I sub
soribed $260 to the relief fund which was
being quietly raised. How much of his
own money did Mr. Henry give? Not a
cent. He was too busy trying to give
away yours. Now, gentlemen, which of
tut two did. the better nert by suffering
he left behind him a reputation se a
"stump" speaker whichi abides still
upon the hustings down in Tennessee.

NEW YORK JUTICE.
A City In Which a tiva1 Is Not Held In

As is generally known,it is a pun-

life, although it is not so ill the attempt
be successfl-which make e self murder

known, New York, indivrally and
collectively, is disposed to f rever
the finger of scorn at 11 large and
growing neighbor, Philadel his.
Not long ago a prisoner was before a.
New York judge charged with attempt-

You've heard of the girl in the Gainsborough
hat,
With its plumes of snowy white?
Now, I know a blend maiden more artless thin
that,
With feathers as black as night,
plume laden hat with an upturned rim
And a red rose, like her cheek.
The tall pompons nod, and the velvety rim
Shades a face Madonna meek. •
Is it true that "a kin is far better than thtt't,
I'm dumb as I win her smile.
The feathers are beckoning, while pitapat
My heart keeps throbbing the while.

I vow I am dizzy with blis!
'Tis an audacious hat; she's a mute, modest
girl -
Shall I woo with words or a kin?
Now, the lass in the Gainsborough hat who
was kissed
By the poet in the song
Simply looked so coquettish he could not resist,
But this lassie might think it wrong.

To steal q 4rart from her lips.

The chapeau, top heavy, almost hides her eyes
Of fond; forgetmenot blue.
Oh, will sho be angry or show sad surprise
When I dare begin to woo?
