TWO TERRIBLE YEARS.
HIS GREATEST DEED
EVANGELIST TELLS OF VICTORY
HE PRIZES.
Story of a Won-,an with a Secret, and
Two Souls Brought to Grace—
Chief Flower of His Amer-
ican Campaign.
Gipsy Smith, the English evangelist
who sailed for home recently, pre-
paratory to a campaign In Australia,
told the story the night before he left
at a dinner given in his honor, of the
greatest conquest, in his opinion, he
had made in this country on his tour
of seven months.
He said he had preached 450 times,
had answered innumerable calls of
various kinds and had seen thousands
stand up to profess a Christian life.
The convert of whom he was most
proud was a fashionable woman in a
western city who had come to his
meetings with a secret that was eat-
ing out her heart. He said:
"This woman was not yet of middle
age and her life apparently had been
given up to frivolity. She led a so-
ciety life. She was extravagant in
her dress and thoroughly worldly. It
must have been the dreadful secret
that she carried that attracted her
to my meetings.
"Her friends were surprised to see
her go In. At the first meeting she
attended she was visibly shaken. She
came again and the storm broke.
"She sought me out and unbur-
dened her soul. There was a moth-
erless little girl in another city for
whom she longed. Her conscience
was stirred.
"For all her married life she had
been concealing a great sorrow and
sin and she had gone into worldly af-
fairs to attempt to forget it all. She
asked me what she should do.
“ ‘How can I ever tell ray husband?’
she asked. 'It may destroy our home.
It may kill me.’
.."‘Where is your husband?’ 1
asked.
"She told nte he was in Philadel-
phia and I said 1 would talk to the
pastor of the church that they attend-
ed occasionally.
"That man had a long hea'd. He
told the woman to telegraph for her
husband to come home at once. She
did so and he responded. She met
him with tears in her eyes but a
smiling face, for she had been
wrestling in prayer, and asked him
to come to my meetings.
"He was surprised at first that he
should he called home for such a
purpose and was not inclined to like
it. He saw that his wife was worked
up over the matter and he yielded to
her entreaties to listen to me be-
cause he feared the effect if he dis-
appointed her. He attended half a
dozen 'meetings and tile fervor
reached him and he became a real
convert.
"in his enthusiasm he asked if
there was anything he could do to
prove his faith.
“'Can you stand a great sorrow?’
asked that pastor.
“ ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘gladly.’
"Then with great tact the preacher
told about that motherless little one,
while the wife sat by sobbing as if
her heart would break.
" ‘Wife,’ he said, 'let us take the
first tir.in to-morrow and get that,
child. I have sinned in the same way
myself. 1 thank God for this day.’
"\nd now," said Gipsy Smith,
“there is a happy household out
there in the west, and openness where
there was secrecy, and love where
there was deceit and sharing the hap-
piness of that couple is a little girl
who never before knew a mother’s
love. I tell you if I had accomplished
nothing more than that on my trip
over here my work would have been
more than repaid. That case alone I
regard as the chief flower of this cam-
paign.”
The Slow Gordon Setter.
Years ago the Gordon setter was
quite a favorite and much in use by
sportsmen of this country. In later
years, however, this really good dog
was displaced in greater part by the
pointer and English setter.
The Gordon, says Ed. F. Haberlefr.
in Dcgdom. is the largest and heav-
iest of all bird dogs, more clumsy and
usually slow. Where most hunting is
done in woodland and thickets and a
slow working dog is needed so as not
to get "lost" almost continually he
fills the bill well—works close to the
gun, has good nose, is steady on point,
and, if properly trained, a very good
retriever from land and water.
The Gordon is easily trained and re-
tains his training well, is also of good,
pleasant disposition and tffluitrahle
companion. At this age, however,
when so very much stress is laid on
speed and wide range, the Gordon is
not in it" because he is a slow,
pottering dog as a rule.
A Loud Habit.
A well-known comedian met a fel-
low actor the other day in Jerald
square.
"Hello. .Jack!" he said. “Anything
to do this evening?"
“Nothing special,” replied the other.
“Well, let's go to the Hotel Aster
and hear the newly rich eat soup.”—

The Untold Agonies of Neglected Kid-
ney Troubles.

TOO YOUNG FOR A STICK.
Why Boy Would Have Nothing to Do
with His Lemonade.
“It was at a children's treat in the
country,” said the Settlement worker
with pink cheeks and unbounded en-
thusiasm, “and lemonade and edibles
were being supplied to a collection of
small children who looked, for the
most part, like babies and were as
sophisticated as I don’t know what to
say. As 1 walked around to see that
everyone was getting enough to eat
and drink I came to one infant whose
mug of lemonade had not been touched
apparently. I observed that there was
a little twig from one of the trees
floating on the top. but they are not
fastidious as a rule and it did not oc-
cur to me that he objected to the
proof that he was playing under real
trees.
“Why don’t you drink the lemon-
ade, little brother?” said I. "Isn’t it
sweet and nice? Don't yoa like it?”
He wriggled a bit and rubbed his
ear on his shoulder in a delightful
state of embarrassment, and then with
a knowing twinkle he said: "1 guess,
teacher. I'm too little to drink lemon-
ade wid a stick in it.”—N. Y. Times.
New Automatic Rifle.
The self-loading or automatic musk-
et Is now being seriously considered
as the infantry arm of the future. The
equipment of the great armies of the
world with an improved rifle is hardly
completed when the mechanics begin
work on a new weapon. At the recenl
examinations of the German Wai
Academy ttie automatic rifle was one
of the themes for discussion. The
piece now on trial has a magazine
holding ten cartridges; the recoil is
utilized to load and cock. Consequent-
ly the soldier can remain quietly in
position, never removing his eye from
the target, and fire his ten shots.—

For Hardening Drill.
Hardening an ordinary drill in sul-
phuric acid, states the English Me-
chanic, makes an edge that will cut
tempered steel or facilitate cutting
hard rock. The acid should be poured
into a flat-bottomed vessel to a depth
of about one-eighth of an inch The
point of the drill is heated to a dull
cherry red, and dipped in the acid to
that depth. This makes the point
extremely hard, while the remainder
remains soft. If the point breaks, re-
harden. but with a little less acid in
the vessel.

written to the Chicago agent of the
Government of the Dominion of Can-
ada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta.
April 8th, 1907:
“It is six years the 5th of this month
since I and family landed in Red Deer,
family sick and only $75 in my pocket.
Bought a $12 lot, built a 12x14 shuck
and went to work as a carpenter.
Next May sold for $400 (had added
16x18 building to shack). Purchased
two lots at $70 each and built a 23x28
two story building and sold for $950.
Filed on a quarter section 33 miles
N. W. of Red Deer and have spent
three years on it and am well pleased.
Quarter all fenced and cross fenced,
wire and rail, 2% miles of fence.
House 29x31 feet on stone foundation.
Last year was my first attempt to
raise grain, 1V2 acres of fall wheat,
yield grand, but was frosted August
2nd, was cut August 16th and made
good pig feed. Had 1% acres fall rye
that 1 think could not be beat. A
farmer from Dakota cut it for me; he
said he never saw such heavy grain
anywhere. Straw was 7 feet high. I
had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall
breaking that did not do so well, yet
it ripened and gave me all the feed I
need for stock and seed for this
spring. I did not have grain threshed,
so can’t give yield, but the wheat
would have gone at least. 25 bit. to the
acre. Have a log stable 31x35 feet,
broad roof and two smaller buildings
for pigs and chickens.
“I have lived in Harvey, Ills., and
know something about it. I have been
hungry there and though able and
willing to work could get none to do.
One Saturday evening found me with-
out any supper or a cent to get it with.
A friend, surmising my situation, gave
me a dollar, which was thankfully ac-
cepted and later paid back. Wife and
I are thankful we came here. We
were living near Mt. Vernon, Ills., as
perhaps you remember visiting me
there and getting me headed for the
Canadian Northwest, and a happy day
it has proved for me. I have not
grown rich, but 1 am prospering. 1
would not take $3,000 for my quarter
now. The past winter has been a
hard one. but 1 worked outside the
coldest day (52 below) all day and did
net suffer. We are getting a school
started now that is badly needed.
“Our P. O., Evarts, is about 15
miles; there is another office 6 miles,
but it is not convenient to us. Wife
and I would not exchange our home
here for anything Illinois has to offer, j
"Yours truly'.

“Good heavens. Mary!” exclaimed
the pampered husband, “where did
you get these cigars? They are hor-
rible!”

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
The Breakers to Remain Closed.
Word conies from abroad that Mrs.
Vanderbilt is to take a large estate
near London, and that the Breakers
will not be open this season in New-
port.
This will he the second summer that
this magnificent estate has been
closed, and it means a social as well
as financial loss to the place.
To the gossips of the smart set it
means that something attractive is
keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her
daughter on the other side of the At-
lantic—something that draws like a
lodestone.
No longer is Robert Goelet's name
heard in connection with the hand
of Miss Vanderbilt, and we are at our
wit's end to know just who the lucky
Johnny is.—New York American.
ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions
from Coffee.
"Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. I had been
drinking it for a long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
"1 formerly had as fine a complex-
ion as one could ask for.
“When 1 became convinced that cof-
fee was the cause of my trouble. I
changed and took to using Postmn
Food Coffee, and as I made it well, ac-
cording to directions. I liked it very
much, and have since that time used
it in place of coffee.
“1 am thankful to say I am not ner-
vous any more, as 1 was when 1 was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ag'o. It is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble.”
Most bad complexions are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have a fair complexion if she will
leave off coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that is in good condition, one
can depend upon a good complexion
as well as a good healthy body.

Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail
Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Rem-
edies Brought Prompt Relief.
"I had eczema on my hands for
about eleven years. The hands crack-
ed open in many places and bled. One
of my fingers was so bad that the nail
came off. 1 had tried so many rem-
edies. and they all had failed to cure
me. I had seen three doctors, but got
no relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment
and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap
all the time for my hands, but the one
cake of Soap and half a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment cured them. I recom-
mend the Cuticura Remedies to all
suffering with eczema. Mrs. Eliza A.

Save the Babies.
N7ANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent, or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma-
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it hears the signature of
Chas. H, Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria
in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy."
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I have prescribed your Caa-
toria In my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and
benefit to my patients.”
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Cas-
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm,”
Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past six
years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend Its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children.”
Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: ‘Your Castoria is an ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo-
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.”
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: ‘Your Castoria holds the
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie-
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil-
dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.”
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: “Castoria Is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for Infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency,
and merits.”
Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef-
fective in relieving children’s disorders, while the ease with which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage.”

OLD SORES
BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and
healthv, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old
blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sorts are persons who have reached or passed mid-
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally
begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because
of ca sluggish and inactive condition cf the system, cr some hereditary' taint
which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms,!
legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubbonx
ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated.
Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore.
The very' fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason
for suspicion; the same genu-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every|
old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.1
Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can!
