Following a wide spread epidemic of Influenza, general debility is on the increase, and its effects may be noâ€" ticed in the worn listless appearance of so many of the men and women you meet. Influenza always leaves behind it impaired vitality, and with the modern conditions of life that use up nerve force so rapidly, general de- bility becomes one of the most com- mon maladies. The symptoms of de- bility vary, but weakness is always present. There is poor digestion, lan- gour, weak, aching back, wakefulness at night, often distressing headaches and a feeling of fatigue. These symp- toms indicate impure and impoverished blood: It is significant of nearly every ettack of influenza that it is followed by anaemia and debility. For all such run-down conditions, new blood is the most reliable cure. Sufferers should at once begin to make thin blood rich and/red with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Under a fair treatment with this medicine they will realize more and more the health-re- storing influence of good rich blood. and how this new blood brings a feel- ing of new strength and increased vi’- tality. Proof is given in the case of Mrs. G. Robertson, Wingham, Out.

The Story of the Four Little Orphan Rabbits. ‘ Once upon a time four little rabbits were left carrotless and saladâ€"leafless by the sudden death of their parents.‘. Though hardly old enough to support; themselves, the four little creatures‘ set bravely out upon their adventures. They were not burdened with many; possessions, for everything in the house had been sold by the hard- hcarted hedgehog from whom they; rented their cottage to pay what he: claimed as back rent. . The four brothers hopped along inj silence, each trying to plan a way to earn his living. The eldest brother,l who had always been considered very: clever a); home, was the first to speak“; “Sad as it seems,” said he, “we? must separate, for were we four to" apply for work altogether, for al night’s lodging, or for food which we sorely need, we would surely meet? with refusal. Let us follow the road? till we come to a crossing. I myself‘ will leave you at, the first road‘ branching off from this. Then let? Peter take the next, Jonathan thc‘i third, and little Bill the fourth.” The other three saw the wisdom of, their brother’s speech and much aSI they grieved at the thought of part- ing, agreed to follow his advice. “Who can tell what riches may await us,” he finished bravely. “But shall we never meet again, dear brother?” quavered little Peter. “That will be as it may,” said the oldest brother. “Fortunes are not made in a day, and ’tis a mighty large world we are faring in." Then seeing the little fellow so downcost, he added: “Suppose we agree to meet behind‘ our old home two years from now and compare our experiences.” The others joyfully agreed, and just then they arrived at the first cross road. Bid- ding them an affectionate farewell,l Terry, the oldest little orphan rabbit,l started down the side road and was‘ soon lost to sight. Not long after that eter’s turn! came, then Jonathan’s, a d last of all little Bill’s. And by nightfall each was travelling a different road with all his wits about him. Time pas’ed and went on, as it has a way of doing, and first thing you know two years had rolled by. The, old hedgehog, who now lived in thel little rabbit’s house, nearly burst with astonishment one early spring even- ing, for approaching weeds~ rabbit whose elegance and prosperity surpas- sed anything he had ever seen. He bowed as low as he possibly could, and wished the stranger a fine evening, but' the rabbit never turned his head, but went into the woods back of the house and sat down after carefully dusting the ground with a blue linen handâ€" kerchief. While old Mr. Hedgehog ran to fetch his wife two more rabbits ap- peared, even more elegant than the. first one. The hedgehogs looking from, a back window saw the three distin- guished travelers embrace; then each turned expectantly toward the road, and to the astonishment of the old. couple in the window, along came anu other young gentleman rabbit, fine as: any of the others. All three rushed upon him, and such a hugging as they! gav him! No wonder; it Was Bill, the littlest orphan! “We all seem to have prospered,” remarked Terry, eyeing his brothers? with pride and approval, and now let‘ each of us tell his story.” ‘ “You begin,” cried the three in uni-l son, and thus Terry related his ad-i ventures. The road that he took had led straight into an impenetrable for- est, and though several times so terri- fied that he was near to turning back, Terry ventured into its depths and blundered in the dark into a lion’s‘ cave. With every hair on end he wait-, ed for the beast to finish him, but when his eyes had become accustomed to the gloom he saw that the poor‘ At the door of the cave he heard mighty rumbles and roars and, being a rabbit of much presence of mind, he hastily closed and doub‘eâ€"boltcd the big doors. and then turned to the‘ groaning lion.

The road he had taken ran straight to a big city. Much confused by the noise and dust, Pet‘e: darted into a low doorway. No sooner had he done so than he was seized by the ears and lifted into the air. . Though much shaken, he wished the creature who held him a good day and’ inquired of what service he might be. “If you will make her majesty laugh then my fortune and your own like- wise is made,” said a voice, and look- ing up, Peter perceived he was held by a poor though handsome youth. Declaring he was not averse to the .work, Peter required the youth to set him on the ground. The boy then ex- plained that the queen, her majesty, had not smiled in seven years, and that the king had offered three bags of gold to the man who could coax her royal highness to smile. “You made me laugh so wl{en you ran in here with your ears flying out behind that I know you can make the queen laugh in spite of herself.” did,” chuckled Peter proudly, and now the boy has married the princess and we’re court favorites. Imagine!” Now came Jonathan’s story. He had followed the road down to the edge of a river, and not knowing how to cross had sat down upon the bank lto think of a way to make his for- tune. As he sat thus a fish thrust his head above the water, and wished lhim good evening. And in just no time they had gotten into a conversa- tion, and like a flash came Jonathan’s inspiration. / “Do you people need a watchman ?” Jonathan inquired breathlessly, and went on to explain how he would sit on the bank of the river and warn them below when fishermen â€"were about. The fish were delighted and disappeared to consult the other creaâ€" tures in the riverbed, with the result. that Jonathan was unanimously electâ€" ed watchman, and was so munificently rewarded with treasures of the deep that he had set up a wonderful castle (hidden from men very ingenuously by. shrubbery), and there he lived in elegance and luxury. Little Bill has been trying to con- ceal his impatience during the recital of his brother’s adventures, and he now burst forth with his story. His road,-_;he said, had gone on and on growing wigglier and wigglidr until it finally disappeared altogether'in a pretty green woods. Being tired, he lay down beneath a tree to rest, and “So I ‘ Jocular Jurymen. Humor is found occasionally even at It comes usually from jurymen who realize keenly the responsibility of their position and‘ who wish to display their intelligence, which unfortunately is often not as high as it might be. Tlle following incidents happened ‘ in the court of a coroner whose dis-l trict is in the South of England. The inquiries were held in rural dis- itricts. and the juries, as usual. con- ‘sisted of the principal inhabi outs of the local hamlets. in the village sclioolroom. The jury- lucn, wearing the most solemn clothes they could find in their wardrobes, took up their positions in front of tho i icoroner. and, after a lengthy discus- sion in which each man was extreme- ‘ly self-conscious, they decided that I the schoolmaster should be their fore- man. A man had committed suicide by drowning himself in a pond. He was an imbecile, and, as such, he was a celebrity in the village. 'i‘he doctor stated in evidence that the man was a congenital imbecile, who had always *been strange in his manner. After the last witness had been heard, the fore- ‘llllel considered it his duty to sum up ‘ before'he announced the verdict. The deceased man, he said, was well known to them all. They regretted that he ishould have come to such an end, but :they all knew he was a congenial im- I bocile! A retired farmer, an elderly man. who was not as intelligent as his suc- icess in agriculture would lead one to believe, was the foreman of the jury 1 in another inquiry. This was a simple .case of a sudden death, and the ver- ‘dict was “Death from natural causes." The foreman, however, was not satisfied to allow the inquest to finish V so tamely. He knew there was some-l thing else to be done, so he was andi solemnly told his fellow-jurymen; “I, think we ought to move a vote of} thanks to the widow!" o o \ On Window-Washing.
