JfRS. HARRIET A. BEGOLE TELLS OF
AN UNEXPECTED BLESSING.
Lest Her Voice and Did Not Speak Aloud
for Nearly Thirteen Year How
- Ber Speech Was Restored.
Ths Ypsllanti Commercial. Ypsilantt. Mich.
Many things appear miraculous that
are really the result of natural laws
the workings of which can be accurate
ly predicted. A striking example of
this oocurred in a promineut Michigan
family recently, and in this case there
can. be no question as to the truthful- -ness
of the narrative since it is attest
ed by Mrs. Harriet Begole, of Ypsil
anti, Mich., a sister-in-law of Mr.
Joshua Begole, who was governor of
Michigan in 1883-84. When inter
viewed Mrs. Begole said:
"In 1886 1 suffered from a severe ill
Bess brought on by a hard cold. Dur
ing this illness my voice left me and
I did not speak again above a whisper
for nearly 13 years.
"I was treated by five local physi
cians and afterward went to New York
and consulted the leading specialists
there. They diagnosed my case as par
tial paralysis, stating that the left side
of my throat was entirely paralyzed
and the right side partially so. I re
turned home utterly disheartened.
"For nearly eight years I have suf
fered j'roin a severe niuiuauli uiauiuer
and about a year ago I decided to try
Dr. Williams' Fink Fills for Fale Peo
ple for this trouble. 1 was much bene
fited bv the first box and so was en
couraged to persist in their use. My
stomach trouble was relieved, my gen
eral health became greatly improved
and to my surprise 1 regained control
of my vocal organs. I have used five
boxes of the pills and last November I
spoke aloud for the first time in almost
13 years, i am now 71 years of age
and have full control of my voioe. I
feel so grateful that I wish to make
knoQb to others the wonderful cura
tive powers of Dr. Williams' Fink
Pills for Fale People.

There is nothing surprising in this
cure, remarkable as it is, to those who
know that Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for
Pale People are so compounded that
they act simultaneously- on the blood
and nerves. They tone up the system
and cannot be excelled as a corrective
' or a disordered digestion as was proved
in the above case. Their power in re
building wasted nerve tissue makes
them invaluable in the treatment of
partial paralysis, and to this fact Mrs.
Begole owes the restoration of her voice
after years of useless but expensive
treatment.
Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale
People contain in a condensed form all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are an unfail
ing specific for such diseases as locomo
tor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism, nervous headache, the after effect
of la grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow complexions, all forms
of weakness either in male or female.
Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, are sold by all dealers or will be
sent postpaid on receipt of price, 60
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50,
(they are never sold in bulk or by the
100), by addressing Di. William's
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

E was a minister of the Eplsco-1
pallan fold an "Anglican priest,"
s he would have expressed It
and he believed most ardently in the
wisdom and advisability of a celibate
priesthood.
"The church demands and should re
ceive absolute singleness of devotion
from her priests," was the way he
stated the matter to his friends.
She was an artist, firm In the belief
that a real devotion to art admitted of
no other loves or devotions.
"One cannot serve the gods and at a
family altar," was her manner of
stating the case.
They met upon the transatlantic
steamer coming over, and the inevita
ble happened.
He had been In England, studying the
semi-monastic orders of the Anglican
church In that country. She had been
sketching In France and Germany,
closing her trip with a flying visit to
Iondon and Liverpool. He was from
New "York; she from Chicago. Their
principles were exactly alike, only they
didn't know it. But it only took them
ten days to discover this fact.
He was attracted to her because of a
certain high pureness of faee'and bear
ing which .set her far apart from the
merry, charming, but decidedly flirta
tious other women who sat at her table
and his. She came to the conclusion
that he Undoubtedly "had something In
him," because of the quiet reserve oi
his manner. A long acquaintance w ith
QUITE ALOXK OX THE HoCKl.NO DECK.
Art had taught her that it Is the face
as the picture which holds something
in reserve that usually proves worthy
of study and cultivation. Besides, the
high vest and large silver cross, which,
stamped him as a ritualist among rit
ualists, and, therefore, mostly likely a
believer In celibacy, made her feel per
fectly, delightfully safe In enjoying his
company. Mlrable Anueston often
found It necessary to be extremely care
ful in her Intercourse with the other
sex. She was a pretty girl and decided
ly charming; since she did not Intend to
marry or thought she did not, which
amounted to the same thing It be
hooved her to be careful how she
raised false hopes. r
Rupert Hazard Father Hazard, as
he preferred to be called felt corre
spondingly safe In talking with Miss
Anneston, because self-consciousness
seemed to be so entirely lacking in ber
make-up. They began by talking about
art, literature, and the deeper prob
lems of social economics. They didn't
begin to talk of love, even In the ab
stract, until Liverpool had been left
behind for seven days. The young
woman who had made and broken two
engagements in that time led them in
this direction unconsciously.
Neither of them were gossips, but the
thing seemed Incredible to people who
hadn't crossed the ocean often enough
to become accustomed to this sort of
phenomena that they couldn't help
thinking of it, having been informed of
the fracture of the second engagement
by their respective stateroom stew
ardsand several other persons.
As the youug woman, apparent
ly well on the way toward a
third deep-sea engagement, passed by
the sunny corner where they were com
fortably discussing the condition of the
poor In London, New York and Chi
cago, Mlrable spoke out suddenly.
"Doesn't It seem strange that people
rv III play and trifle with the most sacred
Hid holy things of life?" she said, with
musing tone.
The Rev. Rupert Hazard came out of
his reverie concerning the good work
which the church was destined to ac
complish among the poor of his own
parish neighborhood and sighed.
"It does, It does," he returned, seri
ously.
This was the opening wedge. From
love in the abstract to the question of
love of a more ordinary and personal
aspect was but a little step. (It never
Is.) A day later they were telling each
other why love was not for them. Two
days later each knew that the other had
decided never to marry. Three days
later the Accomplished Traveler, over
hearing a fragment ot tlielr conversa
tion, smiled sympathetically as. she
promenaded on.
"Do you know," the young clergyman
was saying, "that, while celibacy has
always seeiiK.-d almost necessary for
the priesthood to me it had seemed ab
solutely necessary until a few days be
fore), I, fail to see how an unmarried,
and, perhaps, lonely, existence will
cause you to paint better pictures."
"Why!" and the girl's tone was earn
est as It was astonished. "I don't see
how you can think otherwise. Art de
mands all the best of one, and no second-rate
or second-hand devotion, If one
is really to serve and minister to the
beautiful. But It has always seemed to
me," she added, meditatively, "that an
unmarried minister has lost a fine
chance, at least, of getting close to the
hearts of his people. I wonder which
of us is right or neither, or both?"
Then came the big storm, and after
that all things looked different, Mlra
ble was anything but a coward, but she
couldn't help feeling a little nervous
as the great ship trembled and stag
gered and rolled under the force of the
tremendous waves. The young minis
ter, whose faith was of the real and
assertive kind, soothed and reassured
her as she sat, trembling but silent, In
the music room looking out at the angry
waters. The girl was duly comforted
and strengthened, and the pleasant
feeling of half dependence and Intima
cy, both of his thoughtful kindness,
lasted even after the sun had decided
to shine again. And the young minis
ter had Also learned something while
the storm was raging. It was with a
really meek and humble heart that he
assisted her to the upper deck, Just ns
soon as this was possible, and stood
by her side as she took mental notes of
the waves and their form and color.
"Mlrable," he said presently he had
learned her name some days before"!
have a confession to make to you. I
have found out the Lord has taught
me that my views upon the question
of celibacy have been mistaken. I now
agree with you that a clergyman Is bet
ter with a wife, and I hope I hardly
dare hope, but still I long to that you
will be my wife, some day, by and by."
They were quite alone on the rocking
deck. The weather was still too rough
for others less Interested In art and
one of Its exponents to venture out.
The girl, meditating, found that she,
too, had changed her opinions In regard
to several matters.
"If I tell you," she said at last, as
bravely, as shyly, "that I no longer be

one's chances of becoming a great art
ist, you must not fancy that It Is be
cause I am ready to say yes to the ques
tion you may want to ask me, possibly,
some time. But It has seemed to me.
lately "
"Dear one, let me ask that question
now," the man at her side broke In, Im
pulsively. "Will you, dear child and
sweetheart, promise to become my
wife?"
Again the girl was silent, thinking,
thinking. She no longer believed, as
she bad said, that an unmarried exist
ence was necesaary for the highest art,
but still she thought of the picture she
was longing to paint, the vondrous
thing of graces, nymphs, perhaps, even
bacchanals and wondered how It
would do for a minister's wife to paint
and exhibit this thing. And yet with
love in the balance
She turned to him, smiling.
"I will not promise now," she said,
quieuy; "ii is rar too cany and we
know far too little of each other for
me to make any such promise, for one
thing, and, besides, I have a picture I
must paint first It will take me until
well on Into next summer. (All this
happened last autumn.) And you must
not write to me, nor ask me to write to
you, until the end of June anyway
Then, If you want to risk the trip on
such slight encouragement, you may
come to Chicago, and If you care to
ask me that question again I may pos
sibly think about it."
The next day he came, and soon her
studio will be in New York instead of
Chicago, and there will be a new name
upon the door. Chicago Tribune.
EXTRA PAY FOR THE TARS.
Captain Given to Swearing Arranged
a KeneBt for Mis Crew.
The owner of one of the big sloops
that has sailed many races In these
and contiguous waters Is said to be
ruining the cleanest and most digni
fied of all sports by raising the wages
of hla sailors to an unprecedented
height. There is to be a general pro
test all along the line. He explains
the situation in this way: "1 am given
to the most awful swearing whenever
I get on salt water and several of my
best men left a year ago on account of
it, vowing they never would ship again
In my boat If I Intended to take active
command. Well, as I believe in sailing
my own vessel, they kept their word.
This season I made a new deal, which
was no less than an agreement with
my crew that their wages should be
doubled provided they never resented
by look tr deed my swearing. You see,
1 can now go on deck and cuss out the
whole lot of 'em without having one so
much as seem Injured. It Is a great
pleasure to be able to vilify, abuse and
browhea a fellow whenever you please
and cn.l him all the names in the calen
dar with n oertalntv that he won't
come bick at you."
This bold yachtsman learned the
trick from an Irascible contractor.
Among his office employes was a deli
cate, meek, mild, milk-and-water
youth who drew ?35 a week for the
privilege of being sworn at. When
ever the boss wanted to let off steam,
as he called It, he would ring for this
queer character and overwhelm him
with abuse of the vilest sort. Finally,
however, be got tired of the arrange
men, saying that there was no variety
or spice in cussing a darned fool who
couldn't answer back. "Why don't
you say something, you?" he ex
claimed one day In a towering rage,
lifting his hand as If to strike. The
meek one said: "Hold on, you
, you; don't you dare to hit me. It
ain't In the contract and if you touch
me I'll fill you full of holes." The boss
was stunned by this exhibition of spir
it, discharged the man then and there,
hired him over again at $45 a week
and made him his confidential clerk.
And he never has cursed him since.

LIEUTENANT PETERSON
Says
Peruna Is the Finest Tonlo
and Invlgorator - He
Ever Used.
Lieutenant Charles Peterson, Hook
and Ladder Co. No. 21. writes the fol
lowing letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from 827 Belmont avenue, Chi
cago, 111.:
"Last year I had a severe attack of
U grippe which left me very weak, so
that 1 was nnaoie to perform mr-naties.
Several of my friends advised me to
build np on Pernna, and I fonnd it by
tar the fineBt tonio and iuvigorutor I
had ever used. In two weeks I was
strong and well, and if ever I am ex
posed to unusual hardship incident
with my duties at fires, I take a dose
or two of Pernna and find that it
keeps me in good health."
Charles Peterson.
The above Is only one of fifty
thousand letters we have on file
attesting the merits of Peruna.
There are a great multitude of peo
ple in all parts of the land who have
entirely lost their health as a result ot
la grippe; who have recovered from an
attack, but find themselves with weak
ened nervas, deranged digestion, and
with very little of their former powers.
There is no disease known to man
that leaves the system in such an out
rageous and exasperating condition as
la grippe.
For this clan of sufferers, Peruna is
s specific. Pernna should be taken ac
cording to directions and in a few
weeks the sufferer will be entirely re
stored to bis accustomed health.
