Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest

Joints and excited nerves. The blood ha;
been poisoned by the accumulation of

not until the blood has been purified and

the aches and pains cease.

AN INTERESTING STORY OF HOW
SHE ATTAINED IT.
For a long Time It Sraimd That Good
Fortune Would Not Corae-An Ap
parent Trifle Brought It About.
As with many other women, fortune
lingered a long while before coming
to Mrs. Knowles. But finally a
trifling occurrence brought it to her.
Mrs. George M. Knowles lives at No.
16 North street, Portland, Me., and
when a reporter visited her to learn
the facts of the case, she said:
"For a year and a half I suffered
tortures from rheumatism. When I
arose in the morning or when I got
up to walk after I had been sitting
down for a while, my joints became
stiff and I could not move easily as I
did before the rheumatism set in. My
feet ached and I could not walk with
out limping for some minutes after
I started out. It was very painful and
interfered a great deal with my
household duties."
"How did you succeed !n becoming
cured?" asked the newspaper .man.
"It was one of those apparently lit
tle things that brought it about," re
plied Mrs. Knowles, with a smile. "I
had been suffering in this way for a
year and a half when one day I hap
pened to pick up the paper and to
Bee an advertisement of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I made
up my mind to try them. When I had
taken one box I felt better and after
I had taken the pills for about two
months all the pain was gone. This
was a year ago, and the rheumatism
has not troubled me since."
The above statement of Mrs.
Knowles was sworn to at the report
er's request before Marshall H. Pur
rington, notary public, at Portland,
and published in the Express, a re
liable newspaper of that city.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People will not only cure cases simi
lar to that of Mrs. Knowles, but, con
taining, as they do, all the elements
necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves, they have proved effica
cious in a wide range of diseases.
They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as loeomotar ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. VituB' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after-effects of grip, of
fevers and of other acute diseanes.

"Coon Hollow" is a bit of low ground
lying south of the Court House at Cape
Girardeau. Beyond It live the poorer
darkles and the less useful portions
of the local population. The hollow Is
something or a sink hole, and In times
of heavy rains becomes considerable of
a morass. To the Inhabitants of the
trausbollow region the stepping stones
across have always been a source of
trouble. They were so necessary that
their removal has never been seriously

Charlie Armgard Is town marshal of

stepping stones, aud has ofen debated
with himself whether or not to "run In"

Kducating Young Indians.
The work of educating young Indi
ans in the West Is at times difficult,
'.nit it Is seldom dull. If the tcucliers
must confess to a feeling of doubt as to
their success Willi boy a bearing such
names us Duiiicl lied Kyes and Andrew
Yellow Thunder, they can at least con
sole themselves with the fact that the
correction of "compositions" is mure
diverting than In some Eastern schools.
The superintendent of the I.eiuhi Res
ervation In Idaho is Mr. Mackey. He
has preserved proofs of his pupils
work in English, in the form of vari
ous essays written by the Indian lioys,
uud in several notes of excuse. Here is
Daniel Red Eye's idea of the school in
which he is a pupil:
"We learn how work in garden, and
cut wood, um l;e fence and many hard
work. The girls in lious sew and wash
dress and cooking dinner. 1 don't like
go to school because my father he tell
me I don't want to go 10 school. Thut
all I have to say or wunt to say utiout
a school."
Daniel had a reasonably good opinion
of himself, us this excuse, sent to his
teacher. Indicates:
"I wish you excuse me this afternoon.
My horse all ruu uwuy yesterday even
ing and 1 didn't find. I hunting tny
horse this afternoon. Well, I guess
that all I toll you about Your good boy.
Daniel Red Eyes." 1
Rather more promising Is the attitude
of young Mr. Yellow Thunder, who ex
'preses contrition for a fault:
"Dear Teacher, I am sorry that I ran
away from school yesterday, but I was
crazy boy. 1 will come to school Mou
day aud not ruu away any mure. An

So, in spite of truants and runaways
and the various vexations of school
teaching In a wild country, the good
work goes on, and the reward is hap
pily not confined to a mere sense of
duty performed.
