From the Record, Vterctton, Intl.
Determined to riso in his chosen
profession as nn educator, Ernest Kem
per, of Pieicolon, Ind., overtaxed him
self mentally and physically. He was
ambitious, his mind was always on
his work. From early morn until late
at night ho continually poured over his
books.
"Burned tho candlo at both ends."
Few persons, even with tho strongest
constitutions, can keep up under suoh
a strain.
In addition to his studies, Mr. Kem
per was teaching school some thiee
miles from his home. Finally, hi
excessive study and the exposure of
going to and from school in all kinds
of weather undermined his health.
Ho was taken to his bed with pneu
monia nnd his overworked brain al
most collapsed. For several weeks he
was seriously ill.
Catarrh had taken root in his svstera
and liis mind was in a delicate condi
tion. He was sent to Colorado where
ho spent tiirco months without receiv
ing any bench' t. Then a noted special-
Ocerttwly.
1st from Clevoluntl treated him without
avail, nml then a hospital in Chicnuo
was triod, hut all absolutely without
benefit. Finally his physician recom
mended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale Peoplo, and from the first box he
began to improve. When lie had taken
nine boxes ho was completely curotl.
Tills famous blood and nerve medicine
had accomplished what all his former
exponsivo treatment failed to accom
plish. Mr. Kemper says his catarrh
ins entirely left him: ho is strong
again and weighs nine, pounds more
than he ever did. He gives the pills
tho entire credit. He is starting teach
ing again and feels abundantly able to
continuo the work. To prove that
the above is true in every respect, Mr.
Kemper made an affidavit as follows:

They run with great speed, even out
stripping a liort-o. At seasons of the
year they migrate in large bodies from
one side of tho island to the other, in
columns sometimes half a mile wido,
and so dense as nlmost to stop a car
riage on the road they may be crossing.
These columns overcome every obstacle
in their direct lino of march, even high

sobriquet of "oangrojo," They are
frequently found iu the houses, and in
some cases oven undor the beds.
There is a species of conch which
makes similar marches through tho
country in immense bodies. These are
called pirates, fiom a very curious habit
they display. This oreaturo, which re

That double faoed stuff with strik
ing plaid on one sido and downy white
on the other, makes a most surprising
juokot, and a walk through the country
on a crisp winter day would be a de
light thus attired. Tho juokot is made
plaid side out, though the insitlo of
tho oollar, tho revers and the straps
show white. It is double-breasted anil
warm enough to make ono long to face
a blizzard in it.
The Sauciest Huts.
Undoubtedly tho most bewitohing,

which just shades the eyes enough.
Its Only trimming is any quantity oi
airy black not, which has been plaited

this sombrencss, which you, of course;
knew, was only an excuse and a back
ground for one finishing touch, is set
off by a brilliant sprinkling of vivid
1 wings poised woll in front.
