Paralysis Follows bicodlessness

A PATIENT WOMAN AFFLICTED
FOR YEARS.
she Tclle flow ut Last Sholvas Pcrma
nentiy Cured.
From the Press , 1.cw York City.
For more than fifteen years , Mrs. A.
Mathcr , who lives at No. 43 East Ona hun-
dred-and-twelfth Strcct , Newyork , was a
sufferer from ana mcr , witch , in spite of
the treatment of physicians , gradually do-
v&oped into nervous ptostration until
finuhy marked bynlpons of paralysis set
in. Mrs. Mather glad y gave the reporter
her experience.
"For many years , " Mrs. Matlier said , "I
tivas a constant sufferer from nervousness.
It was about liftocn years ago that my condition -
dition began to grow worse. Soon I became -
came so ulYceted that I was prostrated and ,
until about two years ao , was a part of
the time unable to leave my bed. I employed -
ployed several physicians from time to
tune , my bills at tire drug store tor pre-
scr/ptions , 5onctimes , amounting to as
much as S'o a month , but all the dcctors
did for me did not seem to help the at all.
My blood bccamogreatly impoverished and
after years of suffering 1 was threatened
with paralysis ,
"When 1 walked I could scarcely drag
my feet alone and at times my knees would
give away to that Iwouldalmost'fall down.
hcelhuo that doctors could not help me I
had little hope of recovery , until one day I
read In n newspaper how a person , afflicted
almost the same as I was , had been cured
by Dr. Williams' Pink Pitts for Pale Peo-
ple. I purchased a box and began taking
the pills. Tlleeftectof thisfirst box pleased
me so much that' l bought another. Before
l had taken all tim pills in the first box I
began to experience relief and , after the
third box had been used , I was practically
cured. It was really surprising what a
speedy and pronounced effect the medicine
had upon mc.
"I always keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
in the house now , and when I feel any
symptoms of nervousness find that they
give me certain relief. "
Mrs. Mather's daughter , Miss Anna , corroborated -
roborated her mother's account , and told
how she herself had been cured of chronic
indigestion by these pills ; and , too , how
her cousin had been cured of amemia in
the same way.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain , in a
condensed form , all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
m also a specific for troubles peculiar to
such
females as suppressions , irregularities -
ties and all forms of weakness. They build
up the blood , and restore theglow of health
to Palo and sallow cheeks. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry , ovnrwork or excesses
of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
loxes ( never in loose bulk ) at 50c. a box or
six boxes for $2.50 , and may be had of all
druggists , or direct by mail from Dr. Wl
hams' Schenectady , New York.

Pathetic Story of a Dear Little Woman
Who Was Wedded to her Art-
"As Ono Throughout Eternlty"-A Sad
Eecltal.
1
N THE third floor
of a business and
tenement building
combined lived my
artist friend. She
was a dear little
woman , with a
smile and a pleasant -
ant word for everyone -
one who went to
her door. Like
nearly all persons
, in this line of work she took up painting -
ing , first for the love of it , and afterward -
; ward as a means of livelihood. To be
sure she loved it , yet , but sometimes
she had to work at It when her hands
were weary and her eyes pained. it
was at the close of the year. She had
had a hard month's work filling Christmas -
mas and New Year's orders , and when
New Year's eve came 'and others were
enoying themselves In various ways she
sat alone in her little room , which
served both as studio and a living
room , too weary to light her lamp or
prepare her evening meal. Slue gazed
at a picture just finished , a scene of her
I
childhood and young womanhood
haunts. Her thoughts went back to
those happy days when not a thought
of care cast a shadow on her young life.
She thought of herself when , in the exuberance -
uberance of youth , she pictured her future -
ture ill brightest colors. She had
hoped in those days to reach the fame
of Raphael or Michael Angelo.
Friends , she had scores ; lovers , she
had not a few ; but she answered to
their supplications :
"No , I am wedded to my art. It fills
my heart , my life , my being. I have
room for naught else. "
But there came a day when she met
one whose love she reciprocated and
she was happier than ever before. She
asked herself : "How can I give him
I up ; and , how can I give up my long-
cherished hopes to devote my life to
this work ? " And she pondered over
it until she became pale and thin and
ambition finally conquered.
It was to this part of her life in particular -
ticular that her mind reverted. "Be-
neath the spreading branches of this
stately elm , " she murmured , as she
gazed dreamily and tearfully through
the growing dusk at the painting before -
fore her , "he told me of his love. The
sorrowful expression upon his face , as
I told him I could never be his wife ,
haunts me still. Oh , was I right ? I
have not succeeded as I desired. My
i fame has not reached foreign countries.
I have spent many lonely hours here ;
no husband to encourage me in my
work , to cheer me with his love. No
loving little arms to encircle my neck ;
no lips to press my own. No one to
sympathize with me , when I am weary
and discouraged. Oh , have I made a
mistake ? And where is George ? Has
his life been wasted ? Has he been
true to me as he said he would be ?
Ah , I have not only missed something
in my own life but have perhaps made
a wreck of his. 0 , Father , I pray Thee ,
forgive me if I have been too ambi-
tious. "
The little artist clasped her worn
hands in her lap and closed her eyes
in slumber. The fire in the grate

"SHE DREAMED THAT HER LOVER
WAS WITH HER. "
burned lower and lower ; but the moon's
rays shed a halo of light about her head.
She dreamed that she was once more a
maiden fair and her lover was with
her , but when he commenced to whisper -
per to her the story of love he was
suddenly called away. Thrice did he
attempt it , and the last time her heart
thrilled with his burning words-but
she bade him go. Then she heard a
voice saying :
"Woman , knowest thou what thou
hast done ? Thou hast outraged not
only thine own heart , but that of the
man. For this sin shalt thou suffer. "
She dreamed again and she thought
she was at Heavens gate. Enter ,
said a voice , but it was not that of her
first dream. It was low and sweet and
said. "Sister , thou hast fulfilled thy
tasks on earth. Thou couldst have
made a happy home for thyself ; but it
was rejected , and instead thou hast
done many deeds of kindness to weary
and despondent ones , which loving acts
have , like the ripples of the sea , gone
on and on , only the Master knoweth
whither. Thou hast comforted the
sick , helped the poor , made happy the
little children ; but still thy life is not
complete ; there awaits for thee a great
,
joy. '
The voice ceased , but she heard the
sound of sweet music and far-off bells
like silvery wedding bells. Suddenly a
beautiful light shone above her , so that
she closed her eyes and then she felt
the clasp of a hand and heard the voice
of one of long ago saying ;
)
, ,
"Those on earth who are united in love
Cease not to care for each other atov'e ,
For their souls then united shall be
And f.hey'll be as one through eternity : "
She awoke. The distant chimes on
the cathedral were joyously ringing In
the new year. The sound of sweet
music could be heard from afar , but no
hand clasped hers. She knew then it
was a dream. But who will say that
the little artist will not find when she
reaches the pearly gate the one from
whom she has been separated in this
life ?
The New Year taenis.
The New Year dawns-the sun shines
strong and clear ;
And all the world rejoices and is gay ;
The city-loving birds from spray to

Flit busily , and twitter in my car
Their little frozen note of wintry
cheer ;
From ruddy children with the snow

So would I joy , if 'Thou Wert by my

But left alone , in Darkness I abide ,
Mocked by a Day that shires no more

THIS JUMPING JACK IS A DANDY.
Susie was saying , "Yes , I know my
doll is littler than yours , but I do love
her so ! She's my own dolly ! my own
dolly ! " And she sung it over and over ,
cuddling her dolly close.
"Yes , " said Lela , "my doll is bigger ,
but yours is ever so much prettier , for
mine is only a cloth dolly , and yours
is wax with real hair. I love to look at l
it , but I'm afraid to touch it for fear
it would break. I suppose a dolly that
won't break is best for me. Mamma
says I'm pretty hard on a doll. "
Roy was looking at Johnny , playing
with his jumping jack. Johnny said :
"I did want a rocking horse , and I ,
was most sure Santa Claus would bring
me one. I thought he'd know I wanted
one so much. But this jumping jack is
a dandy , though , " and he pulled the
string hard.
The little figure turned two or three
somersaults , and ended by standing on
its head. Johnny giggled , and little
Roy , looking a trifle sober , said : lour'
johnny jumper is awful nice , and I
like to see you make him go it. I
didn't get anything this year , but I
hope times will be a lot better for our
house next Christmas , and then I'll get
enough to make it all up. But , " said
he , smiling now , "I've got all my marbles -
bles that I had last year , and my top
is most as good as new , and I'll tell you
she's a hummer ! Come , Johnny , let's
have a.game of marbles. "

REMO'JE HER HAT ? NEVER.
And This Wag One Reason Why She
Wag Nat Confirmed.
From the New York Sun : A New
York girl announced her intention lust
spring of becoming a member of the
Protestant Episcopal church. When
the time for confirmation Irrived , however -
ever , the girl failed to participate. Up
to the very last minute she had intcnd-
ed to do so ; indeed , she was present at
the service when the confirmatory rite
was administered ; but for some unaccountable -
countable reason she did not go forward -
ward and receive time laying on of hands
herself. The delinquency has , of course ,
given rise to no end of comment and
conjecture among the girl's friends.
Why did she , at the very last moment ,
back out so unceremoniously ? The
truth of the matter has at last leaked
out , the facts being as follows : One of
the chief charms of the girl who contemplated -
templated confirmation was her luxuriant -
uriant bang. It was fair and fluffy , and
against the dusky halo of the big hats
that were the girl's chosen headgear it
was particularly effective. It was ,
moreover , a most serviceable hirsute
ornament. In damp days , upon per-
spiratory occasions , and even when
swept by ocean breezes , its crisp and
curly beauty remained unimpaired.
Other girls' locks might wilt and
wither , but this bit of fringe was sem-
I
per klem , and the queer part of it. was 1
that the rest of the girl's hair didn't
appear to be particularly fluffy. Well ,
it seemed that when the girl made up
her mind to join the Episcopal church
she did not realize all that it entailed.
She had , apparently , never witnessed
I
the rite of confirmation. When , there- '
for , she saw member after member
of the class go forward , head uncovered ,
she was filled with dismay. Remove her
hat ? Never ; she would cite first. Let
all the other girls see that the fair and
fluffy fringe was not part and parcel of
her at all , but Wits merely sewed in her
hat ? Not a bit of it ; her precious soul
itself wasn't worth such a price. She
therefore sat perfectly st11 ! , kept her
hat on and kept her friends in ignorance -
ance of her hirsute secret. In ignorance
for the time being , that is to say. By
some means or other the friends became
enlightened upon the subject , and , suffice -
fice to say , were much more impressed
titan if ttrey had learned the fact ju a
different way.
HOW HE EARNED CANDY.
It. Strange but True Story of a Iilr
New fonndIond Iog.
One summer afternoon a group of
children were playing at the end of a
pier that projects into Lake Ontario ,
near Kingston. The proverbial careless
child of the party made a backward
step from the pier into the water. None
of his companions could save him , and
their cries had brought no one from the
shore , when , just as he was sinking for
the third time , a superb Newfoundland
dog rushed down the pier into the water
and pulled the boy cut. Those of the
1
children that did not accompany the 1
boy home took the dog to a confection-
er's on the shore and fed him with as
great a variety of cakes and other
sweets as he would eat. So far the
story is , of course , only typical of scores
of well-known cases. The individuality -
ity of this case is left for the sequel.
The next afternoon the same group of
children were playing at the same place
when the canine hero of the day before
came trotting down to them withm the
most friendly wags and nods. There
being no occasion this time for supply-
jug him with delicacies , the children
only stroked and petted him. The dog ,
however , had not come out of pure so-
ciability. A child in the water and
cakes and candy stood to him in the
close and obvious relation of cause and
effect , and if this relation was not clear
to the children lie resolved to impress
it upon them. Watching his chalice , he
crept up behind the child nearest the
edge of the pier , gave a sudden push ,
which sent him into the water , then
sprung in after him and gravely
brought him to shore.
