Saturday evening a well attc/ide I meeting was held in tho city hall of those imbued with the ideas of socialism. J. V. Purviance was chairman and S. B, Clement secretary. A number of short but interostintf addresses were mado upon the subject, all favoring the idea of ejecting a permanent organization. A resolution to that end was accordingly pas sed and the meeting organized into communion with the Social League of Canada. The dues were fixed at 25 cents per month, which will be expended in the purchase of the best. literature obtainable. Election 6tofficers followed, J. M. McGregor being put in as president, D D. Robertson vice president, and II. J. Lipsett secretary treasurer. Messrs. Sheridan, Lipsett and Tetter were appointed a committee to arrange for a number of addresses to be given at the next regular meeting. It was decided to make all meetings open to the public, unless otherwise called for, and all ladies are cordially invited to attend. Twenty-four names were placed on thc membership roll.alljoining being required to take an obligation tsi stand united on any and all public and political matters, so that in future the strength ofthe organization may be felt. The local league promises to be a strong one and the Int-jntion is to put in a lively winter's can* paign. Tsioaday'* Hoetlog. On Tuesday evening another meet., ing was lu Id", in the Miners'Union hall, there being a big crowd present. A new list of membership was circulated and freely signed. ' it contained the following ohligati.in. "As a member if the Canadian So cialistie League, 1 declare my bellel in and my intention to wink for (1) the brotherhood of man the world over; and (_') the public ownership of all the means of production, distribution and exchange. And I pledge myself to vote and work for socialist candidates when such are nominated for any elective position by our or ganization." The list was freely signed, the membership being increased to 35. A motion, was passed, instructing thc secretary to open up correspond bnce with other leagues in the province, with a view to getting a lecturer to tour the country during the winter. The following were then added to the executive c nimittee of the local league: J. M, MclJiegsi*, S. B. Clements, \V. J. Adcock, ,J. 11. Howarth, W. II. Ferguson and II. J. Lipsett. The lcaguo also resolved to purchase a $10 share in the C. II. Ktit Publishing Co., of Chicago, which will permit of them getting socialist reading matter at reduced rates. There are quite a number of works on hand and they hayc been turned oyer to W. J. Adcock, who has been appointed librarian for the league. It is the intention also to get many more books and pamphlets on the subject of socialism to add to the library. Short addresses were given during the evening by Messrs.

Regular meeting of thc board of trade was held in the council chamber on Thursday evening last, with President W. T. Shatford in tin. chair. The attendance was small ...nd the session short. The commit* tee to arrange for the establishment ofa prospector's exchange in connection with the board made their report recommending the fitting up of a cabinet for ores, with descriptions of various properties to bo left with the secretary. Matter left oyer till next meeting for further information. The secretary, on behalf of the smelter committee,reported favorable progress. Information had been asked and given to a representative of British capital on the subject, data had been secured relative to the lime deposits to the south of thc city, and some particulars obtained of thc ore resources of the camp. The conclusion arrived at was that Slocan was advantageously situated as a smelter site. The next meeting ofthe board will be held o:i the second .Monday in November. V;ilu:<!>lss I.iiii.* I>,-s,o-ilt. One of tli3 valuable advantages possessed by this place asa s.rfelter site is tiie huge lime deposit, owned I by Ooorgn Payne and located a short distance below the city. It is of gi gantic proportions, as pure as it is large, and easy of access. The outcrops of the deposit show it to be 300 foet w'uli', and traceable for at least half n mile. Where the principal work has been done it has a face of 330 feet. A tunnel has been driven in 30 feet and no change has-taken place in the quality of the lime. Tests have been made by all the assayers. in the camp, and also the frail and Nelson smelters. Their figures show but one per cent silica at the most and 93 .percent pure lime. Mr, Payne has burned several kilns of it for local masons, who pronounce it the best article seen here. Kx- pcrts class the deposit as one of the most valuable, as well as pure, to be found in the northwest. Orders for all Kinds of Job Work Quiokly Attended to: The Drill, Slocan wiists.s-Work ut Jpaonlator, Twelve men were let out from the Speculator at the beginning o1' the week, reducing the force to 20 men. Thc reduction is for the winter only and early next spring the force will be largely increased aud a vigorous policy carried out. During the winter the No. 1 level will be. pushed forward on the east vein uniil the crosscut from the west vein is met, which will then drain the older workings. Development will be continued on both veins throughout the winter. The No. 1 drift has not yet cut into any large body of ore, but what has been taken out is of the finest quality of dry ore, carrying high values in silver. The recent fine Wen ther hns enabled the mine W be got into .pretty good shape for the winter. While It is a pity to see any men lot out (rom a property, still it is one of the exigencies of mining, and in the present ease will be only till spring. Tflpphono Et triiglon. W. C. E. Koch, one of the most enterprising men in the country,sent up a wagon load of wire and general supplies, on Wednesday, for tho purpose of extending the telephone system from the Speculator over the summit oa to Ten .Mile. Instruments are to be placed at the Enterprise, enterprise mill, nnd Koch's sawmill, below Aylwin. Ten Mile will then be brought into direct touch with the city and business gTeatsly expedited. With this extension all the leading properties in the camp secure con* in-etion into the city, lt is qnlto likely other properties will be added to the string. So fir the telephone system has been installed by private enterprise, as is also the one iu town, but the need of a central ollice is manifest and something will have to In; done to establish one. The system is of great benefit to tlu* business interests of the city, lt is about 15 miles in length. llsil l.sssk r.u- a Itssisk. were sent on to Spokane to award. The. syndicate has purchased from the Jenekes Manufacturing Co. a (JO horso power boiler and hoisting plant,guaranteed to raise 50J feet. The machinery may be expected any day and arrangements are being made for its transportation to the mine. It is the expressed intention of the syndicate to work as many men all winter »s there is room for on the property, An abundance of capital is available for development purposes, CIII.LINUS.

Once more tho record has been raised, the week's ore shipments being 20 tons in excess of last week. The amount sent out was 250 tons and it all came from the Arlington, raising its total to upwards of 3600 tons". Indeed, the shipments from this one mine almost equal the total output of thc Sandon camp. Next week's figures promise to be extra heavy, as the Enterprise will havo two cars to go forward, the Black Prince one, and thc 4th of July a small shipment. From the division the year's exports total 4434 tons, valued at $354,720. Last year the exports from this division amounted to 2847 tons, mado up from 10 properties.

City Clerk Foley has been putting in hard licks this week getting his Hrst assessment roll of the cPy In Shape for tho next meeting of the council, he having to return it by the loth. The assessment will bo upon a more equal basis than under tho governnient.and the result will show quite an increase. Prom present figures it looks as If the list would total up $150,000, a 80 per cent advance over tho government assessment, One result of the assessment will be the qualification of several more ratepayers both for mayor and aldermen) giving plenty of material for a choice next January. The present council have had enough of the fun and it is doubtful if nny of Thc force at the Hoodoo came dawn the hill Sunday. The Whitewater shipped 394 tons during September. Ore shipments from the entire Slo- e*ft total 18,738 tons. The Slocan Star is shipping at tho rate of 35 ton s per day, Sandon mines shipped 126'J tone of ore during September. Frank Sherry's lease on the Black Prince expired this week. A consignment of steel rails was sent up to the Tamarac on Monday. Considerable brittle silver and gray copper is being met with in the Speculator ore. The Trail smelter has corralled almost the entire output of the upper Slocan camp. Another shipment of ore commenced coming in to town Thursday from the 4th of July. Moro crown grants have been issued in the camp this year than in any previous season. Shannon & McGillivrav purpose working thc Neepawa, Ten Mile, during the winter. Angus McLean is.looking after-the assessment on the Native Silver Fraction, adjoining the Arlington. Joseph Tresh was killed and Fred MacDonnell injured at the Rambler- Cariboo last week by a premature blast. Native silver is beginning to appear In the Tamarac ore. Some beautiful specimens are being shown in the city. John Wafer has sold a half'Interest in the North Star claim, situated near the Arlington sawmill, to Frank Provost, ostensibly for the Arlington company. A Strike of .good ore has been mado in the No. 3 workings on the Speculator, whieh are on the east vein. It gives nlgll values and the vein is Steadily improving. The .Mary Durham, on Coat mountain, New Denver, owned by Messrs. Hicks and Barber, of this city, and now being woikcd under lease, will make a shipment next week. W. II. Davidson has secured an option on the Black Prince group on behalf of British capital. Thc sum involved is $75,000 and there is a strong likelihood of a, deal being closed. Options on a number of properties on Erin mountain, Dayton creek and Twelve Mile creek, have been secured by Charles Dempster, through whose efforts tho Republic was bonded.

This is not tbe place in which to settle a dispute of this kind. I presume yon have a lawyer. I will give yon the address of mine. No power on earth can force this lady to live with you again. She definitely refuses the honor. Everybody in London knows where I live—or if there be any that don't know they can very easily find ont. I will give yon every information." "Yon will give me my wife." "That I never will While I have breath in my body I will stick to tbe woman who took me in good faith for better, for worse. And if I know anything of my friends they will honor ber more for staying with me than tbey wonld if sbe went back to what some people wonld call her dnty and. you."

When halter and heel rope* are slipped, do not give chasse with sticks, bat with gram.— Punjabi Proverb. After marriage arrives a reaction, sometimes a big, sometimes a little, one, bnt it comes sooner or later and must be tided over by both parties if they desire tbe rest of their lives to go with the current In the case of the Cusack-Bremmils this reaction did not set in till the third year after the wedding. Bremmil was hard to hold at the nest of times, bnt he was a beautiful husband nntil tbe baby died and Mrs. Bremmil wore black and grew thin and mourned as if the bottom of the universe had fallen ou t. Perhaps Bremmil onght to have comforted her. He tried to do so, I think, bnt the more he comforted the more Mrs. Bremmil grieved and consequently the more uncomfortable Bremmil grew. The fact was that they both needed a tonic, and they got it. Mrs. Bremmil can afford to laugh now, bnt it was no laughing matter to her at the time. Yon see, Mrs. Hauksbee appeared on the horizon, and where she existed was fair chance of trouble. At Simla her byname was the "Stormy Petrel." She bad won that title five times to my own certain knowledge. Sbe was a little, brown, thin, almost skinny woman, with big, rolling, violet bine eyes and the sweetest manners in the world. Yon had only to mention ber name at afternoon teas for every woman in tbe room to rise np and call her—well—not—blessed. Sbe was clever, witty, brilliant and sparkling beyond most of her kind, but possessed of many devils of malice and mischie- vousness. She conld be nice, though, even to her own sex Bnt that is another story. Bremmil went off at score after the baby's death and the general discomfort tbat followed, and Mra Hauksbee annexed him. She took no pleasure in hiding her captives. She annexed him publicly and saw that tbe public saw it He rode with ber and walked with her and talked with her and picnicked with her and tiffined nt Peliti's with her till people put up their eyebrows and said, "Shocking!" Mrs. Bremmil staid at home turning over the dead baby's frocks and cryi!*3 into the empty cradle She did not care to do anything else But some eight dear, affectionate lady friends explained the situation at length to her in case she should miss the cream of it. Mra Bremmil listened qnietly and thanked them for tbeir good offices She was not as clever as Mrs. Hauksbee, but she was no fooL She kept her own counsel and did not speak to Bremmil of what sbe bad heard. This is worth remembering. Speaking to or crying over a husband never did any good yet. When Bremmil was at home, which was not often, be was more affectionate than usual, and that showed his hand. The affection was forced partly to soothe hia own conscience and partly to soothe Mn. Bremmil. It failed in both regarda Then "the A D. C. in waiting was commanded by their excellencies Lord and Lady Lytton to invite Mr. nnd Mm Cnsack-Bremmil to Peterhoffon July 2B at 9.30 p. m." "Dancing" was in the bottom left hand corner. "I cannot go," said Mrs. Bremmil "It is too soon after poor little Florrie: but it need not stop you, Tom." She meant what she said then, and Bremmil said tbat he wonld go jnst to put in an appearance. Here he spoke the thing which waa not. and Mra Bremmil knew it. She guessed—a woman's guess is much more neenrate than a man's certainty—that he had meant to go from the first, and with Mrs. Hauksbee. Sbe Fat down to think, and the outcome of her thoughts was that the memory of a dead child was worth considerably less than the affections of a living husband She made ber plan and staked her all upon it. In that honf she discovered that she knew Tom Bremmil thoroughly, and this knowledge she acted on. "Tom," said she, "I shall be dining ont at tbe Longmores' on the evening of the 26th. You'd better dine at the club." This saved Bremmil from making aa excuse to get away and dine with Mra Hauksbee; so he waa grateful and felt ■mall and- mean at the same time, which was wholesome. Bremmil left the home at 0 for a ride. Abont half past 5 in the evening a large leather covered basket came in from Phelps' for Mra Bremmil. She was a woman wbo knew how to dress, and she had not spent a week on designing tbat dress and having it gored and hemmed and borringboned and tucked and rucked (or whatever tbe tertnB are) for nothing It waa a goi^euua dress, alight mourning. I can't describe it. but It was what The Queen calls "a creation' —a thing that hit you Straight between the eyes-and made yon gasp. Sho had not much heart for whut sue was going to do, bnt as she glanced at the long mirror she hadthesnti-jfactionof knowing that she had uever looked so well in her life. She wan a large blond, and when she chose carried herself superbly. After tbo dinner at the Longmores' she went on to the dance—.s little lute —and encountered Bremmil with Mrs. Hauksbee on bis arm. That made ber flush, and as the men crowded round her for dunces she looked magnificent She filled np all her dunces except three, and those she left blank. Mra Hauksbee canght her eye once, and she knew it was war—real war—between tbem She started handicapped in the struggle, for she had ordered Bremmil about jus.t the least little bit in the world too much, and he was beginning to resent it. Moreover, he had never seen his wife look bo lovely He stared at her from doorways and glared at her from passages as she went about with bar partners, and the more he stared the more taken was he He conld scarcely believe that this was the woman with the red eyes and the bluck staff gown who used to weep over tbe eggs ut breakfast Mrs. Hauksbee did ber best to hold him in play; but, ufter two dunces, bu crossed over to bis wife aud asked for a dance "I'm afraid you've come too late, Mr. Bremmil." sbe said, with her eyea twinkling Then he begged her to give him a dance, and as a great favor she allowed him the fifth waltz Luckily five stood vacant on his programme They danced it together, aud tbere was a little flutter round the room Bremmil had a sort of a notion that his wife could dance, but ha never knew she danced so divinely At the end of thut waltz he asked for another—as a favor, not as a right—aud Mrs Bremmil said, "Show me your programme, dear!' ite shewed it as a naughty little schoolboy hands up contraband sweets to a master There wus u fair sprinkling of "H" on it besides "H" atsnpper Mrs. Bremmil said nothing, but she smiled contemptuously, ran her pencil through seven and nine—two "H's"—and returned the card with ber own name written above, a pet name that only she and her husband used. Then she shook her finger at him und said, laughing, "Oh. you silly, silly boy I" Mra Hauksbee beard that, and—sho owned as much—felt sbe had the worst of it. Bremmil accepted seven and nine gratefully They danced seven and i-ft ont nine in one of the little tents Whut Bremmil said and what Mra Bremmil did is no concern of any one When the bund struck up "The Roast Beef of Old England." the two went out into the veranda, and Bremmil began looking for his wife's dundy (this was beforo rickshaw days) while ube went into the cloakroom Mrs Hauksbee came up and suid, "Yon take me in to supper, I think. Mr Bremmil I' Bremmil turned red and looked foolish. "Ah'ml I'm going home with my wife, Mrs. Hauksbee I think there bas been a little mistake!' Being a man, be spoke as though Mra Hanksbee were entirely responsible. Mra Bremmil came ont of tbe cloakroom in a swan's down cloak with a white "cloud" ronnd ber head She looked radiant, and she bad a right ta The couple went off into the darkness together, Bremmil riding very close to the dundy.

Tho conditions existing in New Zealand are shown in tho following lntwviuw in the Toronto Globe with Mr. Thomas Fleming a leading miller and grain merchant of Invorcar- glll, N. Z., who recently visited Canada : "In overy other country, Ehglan.1, Scotland, Ireland, Canada eind the United States, I find that every Inducement is given to people willing to start local industries of any kind, whereas in Now Zealand, per contra, every obstacle is thrown In your way. Take, for example, tlio railway department, ln New 7u.a- lahd, if you wish to start a manufacturing establishment of any kind you have first of all a tremendous up-hill light to get tho siding granted to your mills or ninuiifticiuring establishment. Then you have to pay every cent that tho siding costs, tho railway department reserving the right to pull up that siding at any timo and take away all the material for which you havo paid. Then they chargo you a rental of CftO per annum for tho Biding that you havo paid for, In addition to all that you havo to guarantee before getting tho siding, l^von the local bodies tax us unduly. For instance, in our own town the corporation chargo us for the water wo pump out of a running rlvor for our boilers and condenser and afterwards return to tho Rtronin. "Compulsory arbitration is simply a gigantic failure. Tbo papers nro full of nothing else. The work of tho judge is far in arrears and general dissatisfaction exists. This government rolled in on the labor troubles and strikes and havo kept the pot boiling ever since. "The old-age pensions are a groat drain. The recipients are not bound to contribute to the fund: so long as they keep clear of the jail they got it if they have saved nothing. If peoplo have saved any tiring they do not got it. It is simply a premium on thriftlessncss, a tax on thrift. New- Zealand last year did not increase in population 2,000 against Canada's increase of 70,000. There Is absolutely no inducement given to Europeans to settle there. There is no sign of improvement from present conditions, and I am rroing back with a firm resolve that if I can leave the country I will do so after <10 years, as I think Canada or Ain- ica.'hold out so much better Inducements to people to get along." In speaking of Ihe railway rates on the government railways in New Zealand, Mr. Fleming said that hi* found that grain can be carried from Chicago or Manitoba and thence across thc Atlantic to Britain at as small a cost as it can be carried in New Zealand on tho government railways 500 miles. He approved of tho government ownership of railways as they had it in New Zealand formerly, when tho railways were under the control of an independent board of commissioners but the present government abolislud thut board and asi-mmed direct control of the railways with bad results. FADING OF BUTTER. AN INDIAN CtHEMON. THE "MEDICINE: SWEAT" THAT MAKtfi THE RED MAN CLEAN. It I* III* Tiii-kif.il ItiiHi, So tu Sltenk. und It I* to Ilini a Hit*. Both Physical ss.ssl Siilrllssitl — Mtltlisu Medicine to the l.reat Spirit. Few, If uny, of tbe writers on the habits, folklore und history of the American Indian huve devoted any space to the red man's Turkish bas.li. an institution homemade, to be Bure, but a recognized necessity ln every camp nud a feuture of the dally life r the Indian. On the contrary, con mentators have conveyed tbe lmpit* sion that habits of cleanliness are foreign to the Indian und that ho has nn Inborn aversion to water except for culluury purposes. By the avidity and frequency with which the Indian indulges In his home made Turkish bath be proves the fallacy of this belief and shows that he, a^ well ns his white brother, enn live up to the precept "Cleanliness Is next to godliness," only In the practice tbe Indian puts clean 11 ness first. The term "Turkish bath Is unknown to the Indian. He culls that method of ablution u "medicine sweat." It Is to him n rite both physical and spiritual, for he cleanses his person and then "makes medicine" to his tireat Spirit. That tbe rite Is religiously observed was shown by a band of Brule Sioux Indians, who made a Journey across the continent to tho cast and went Into encampment In, to them, a strange land. On their arrival, even before they raised their tepee poles, they erectesl a "medicine sweat" tent The framework of this tent Is of hoop poles so trained thut It Is .about nine foet lu diameter, four feet high, Hut topped and almost circular In form. '.fust within the framework there is a bedding of straw about two feet wide, and In tho center of the tent there Is a whole in the ground about three feet in diameter and throe feet deep. There aro no steam rents or pipes, no marble slabs, no rubbers and no sheets. When the Indian Is ready for his "medicine sweat" a number of stones or rocks are heated lo almost white beat and dumped into the hole In the ground. Then the red men, 20 or 25 of them, lu a costume even scantier than Adam's after the fall, range themselves upon the straw. Tliey sit mummy fashion, their chins on llielr knees and their arms around their shins, packed so close together that oven If they would they could not move. When they are all ready, blankets, skii-.s and canvas nre thrown over the framework until the tent Is almost airtight, two or three buckets of water are passed in and thrown upon the hot stones and Ihe "medicine sweat" begins. The moment the steam begins to rise the Indians begin a ehnnt. which I.s kept up without Interruption until the sweat Is over. Packed together, enveloped In sienin so thick that none can see his neighbor, the Indians sit. singing and perspiring I'or an hour or more. Not an Indian moves. Hs* neither can nor wants lo. At a signal from tbe chief or the medicine man n seel Ism of the lent is torn away, anil with 0 heave ami a whoop ull the bocks iiuiKe pi llntcll for the water. A run and a jump, uml In tliey go.

Bow tho Genuine Article May Lose Itas Attractiveness. This Is the season of the year when butter fades in the market and loses mnch of its bright yellow, attractive appearance, writes William Conway In the Boston Cultivator. Merchants are considerably bothered wltb tbls sudden change ln tbe butter, and lt sometimes causes f*em loss aa well as tbe producer. The cause of this loss of color Is not always easily ascertained. It was supposed at oue time that faded batter was simply artificially colored butter, losing Its coloring matter added after churning, but this is not necessarily true. Some pure butter that bas been made without any artificial coloring seems to bleach out almost the col or of clean tallow. Naturally butter thus bleached out docs not sell well. The cause of this Is partly due to the poor handling of tbe butter. It Is necessary to keep all the butter at a low temperature lu summer to make It keep, but ln transferring It from cold storage to tbe store this temperature is frequently changed quite violently. The sudden change causes tbe butter to undergo a chemical change in extreme Instances. It Is not at all unlikely that tbls causes the color to change also and produce the bleached out appearance. Tbe greatest caro In handling butter In hot weather Is last as urgent ou tbe part of commission merchants as the farmer. Without doubt a good deal of tbe spoiled butter tbat sells down nt nominal prices Is due to tbe carelessness of tbe shippers and city merchants. On tbe otber band, tbls should not release the makers from responsibility, for much of tbe poor butter Is due to slovenly methods of tbe farmer. Bleached out or faded butter may be tauscd by the lack qt tbe proper Incorporation of the salt In the mass. If tbe salt Is not thoroughly worked through every part of the butter there will be some of It that will become rancid. This rancidity in a very email part of the butter will spread and In time cause the whole mass to undergo a chemical change. A peculiar tallow or greasy flavor develops, and the natural yellow of the batter fades to a pale, sickly hae that Is very unprepossessing. In extreme cases, where a high or sudden change of temperature hastens the process of degeneration, the butter may become almost worthless on ac- :ount of Its appearance. The sale of first class butter depends as much upon Its looks as upon its actbal taste. It Is consequently essential to guard against anything tbat will make tha mass lose Its color and bright, attractive appearance. A Serlsso* Cuse.

The Victim Loses Strength in His Limbs and la Usually Unable to llo Any Work—The Story of a Former Sufferer, Showing How This Numbness Can bo Overcome. From "The Whig," Kingston, Ont. There are few men in the city of Kingston better known than Mr. II. S. Johnson, the genial proprietor of tho "Bon Ton" barber parlor, on Brock street. For several years ho hail been in failing health, being obliged to give over the entire work of his busy shop to his assistants. Dut this spring his health is so wonderfully improved that hia many friends havo been congratulating him. on his restoration. In conversing with a reporter ol Tho Whig recently, Mr. Johnson had the following to say concerning his illns-es and euro : "For many months I was practically parulyzod. Numbness took possession of my limbs, s>specially of my hands. From my hips down my body was without strength, and despite all that I could do, I wns unable to prevent my hands and feet from becoming icy cold. My appetite left. me. and soon I had to give up work. My general health was of course failing, and I lost flenh. As you know. I am 65 years of age. and when a man loses strength at that age, it is a hard thing to build him up again. I tried several kind** of medicines, but they all failed to hcni'flt mc. The doctors whom I consulted were also unable to help me. I was growing discouraged when some of my old customers advised mo to try Dr. Williams- I'ink Dills. At first I refuss»d, for I did not believe any medicine on ourtli could help me, but at last friendly persuasion had its effect, and I bought a supply of the pills and began taking them. I soon found that they were benefiting me. and so continued their uso until Dr. Williams' I'ink PUIb havo made mo a new man. I feel stronger and better day by day; I am gaining In weight, and once again I am able to attend to my old customers without the least troublo. I consider tho pills my best friend and would not be without them." Dr. Williams' rink Pills are tho friend of tho weak and. all ing. They surpass all other medicines in their tonic, strengthening qualities and make weak and despondent peoplo bright, actlvo nnd healthy. Theso pills aro sold by all dealers in medicine, or can be had by mail, postpaid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams Medlcino Co., Brockvillc, Ont.

ELM YOBS A STORY OF A QUEBEC MAN'S TRIAL AND HIS LONG UNEARNED PUNISHMENT. His Recent Marvellous Escape by the Aid of Dodd's Kidney Pills—Hla Gratitude to the Help that Saved Him—Six Boxea Completely He- stored Him to HeaPb. St. Patrice, Lotbiniere, Que., Sept. 30.—(Special)—A sad story of unjust imprisonment is that told by Phillips. Boissonneault of this place. His case was worse than that of the ordinary prisoner, for his bonds were those of pain and disease. For 11 years they hold him, a hopeless victim, chained, tortured, a slave to Kidney Disease. Who is thero in tho world that thinks man was intended to suffer, that ho merits his fate, that he deserves thu aflliciions disease put on him ? Surely, no one thinks that. We wero put hero to bo happy, to be healthy and free from pain. Nobody will say that Phillippo BoisBonneault of St. Patrice deserved his long punishment, and nobody but will rejoice to learn that through the aid of a wonslcrful medicine—Dodd's Kidney Pills—he has escaped. Dodd's Kidney Pills, the remedy that proved such a boon, have made a reputation all over the world In curing of diseases of and arising from the Kidneys. Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Backache, Bla.ider nntl 'Uriuaiy Troubles, Women's Disorders, Dropsy, Nervoneness and Blood Impurities all come within iho iscope of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and hodd's Kidney Pills have testimonials for the cure of all of them. Phitlippa Dois- sonneault's case was the conr.ion form of Kidney Disease. "For eleven years I havo suffered untold at?ony with Backache which crippled me as thssugn I were barred and shackled. I dwindled in weight to a mere shadow. I have taken all sorts of remedies, nothing ds>iii£ me any good. I read ln Hodd's Almanac what was recommended for the Kidneys. I decided to try thr.m and sent for six boxes, though without confidence, but today I am completely cured and thank Dodd's Kidney Pills alone for It." FOR AN ENEMY'S SHOT.

( IsUC 10.0* 17.10 TRUE GHOST STORIES. tn Knivll«b Admiral Who Saw II Son'a Apparition. I know of n distinguished admiral wbo was rending the paper one dny wben be suddenly exclaimed, "1 hare just seen ," naming his son, who was a lieutenant in tbe navy on the West African station. "He is on shore, being carried hy sailors. He is very ill or dying, and be is wearing a marine's cap." It was ufterwitid shown that his sou, who was on some expedition ou shore, had been suddenly struck down with fever ond at the lime in que»tiou was being carried by Bailors and. whnt was more strange, he hud sumo time before lost bis own cap nnd was wearing such a cap as bis father hud seen, which be had borrowed from a marine. Of these stories there are a great many. One of the best authenticated of them is the incident iu which Captain Slier broke of tbe Thirty-third regiment, afterward (ieiiernl Sir John Cope Sherliroke, and I.ietiteiiniit George Wynward of the same regiment were concerned. Oue afternoon in 1785. when tbey were with the regiment in Canada, they were both sitting, together In Wynword's quarters. It was utiout 4 o'clock. Tbey bad both dined, but neither bad taken wine. Tbe i-iHiin ihey sat in bud two doors, one opening into a passage, tbe other into Wyn- wnnl's bedroom. The only wny Into the sitting room was the door from the passage, and the only wny into the bedroom wns through the sitting room. The two officers were reading some military subject together, having left mess early to pursue their studies. Sherliroke, happening to look up from bis book, observed a tall youth of about '20 years of age, whose appearance was that of extreme emaciation. Struck with the appearance *>f a perfect stranger, he turned .i uis friend und directed his attention to tbe guest wbo had broken Into tbelr studies. As soon as Wynward saw the mysterious stranger he became very agitated. "I never." Sir John Sherbroke used to say in telling the story afterward, "saw ii living face assume the appearance of n corpse except Wynward's at that mntttent." "Good Gssd." Wynward ex- elnlnied. "if is my brother!" The stranger ses'ins'sl to go into' Ihe bedroom. Tbey followed him and found tbat tbere was no one tbere. They took note of tbe hour and day. Wben tbe mail Came from borne, there was a letter to Sherbroke from a mutual friend asking him to break to Wynward tbe news tbat his favorite brother was dead. He had died on the dny and at the very hour on which Wynward mid his friend bad seen bis spirit puss through the apartment. There is one point that occurs to one oa reading this story. Did tbe young mnn die in England at 4 o'clock in tbe afternoon on the dny in question or did be die ut the bour that the clock would hare pointed to in England when it was 4 p. ui. in Canada? In a good many of these stories the difference of time at different pints uf lhe world seems to be ignored. The story, however, seems lo have plenty of evidence to rest on. It wus published in 1S2.'I hy Mr. Jarvis in his "Accredited Ghost Stsiries." ami tbere Is a noto to the effs'ct that a relation of Wynwnrd's had rend it and stated that in all important circumstances it was strictly true. Then the author says that Sir John Sherbroke often told the story, and Sir John lived for some five years after the book was published. In a discussion in "Notes and Queries" n writer who seems to have known the family hears witness to the correctness of the story. One important point is that nfter the apparition had been seen nnd before the news hud come out Wynward and Slierbrsske spoke frs*e!y to their bristlier officers of wbnt tbey had seen. Happy Thonaht.
