SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA IS CALLED THE GARDEN OF EDEN, a Former Resident of Reed City. Michigan. In a letter to the Reed City, Michigan, Clarion, Mr. Jos. G. Armstrong, of Meltford, Saskatchewan, says, writing on 27th May, 1901: Vail Hesss Honeymoon. BT ADA MAY KRECKER. 1901, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) The boys had sent for Asbbee to hilp them.

After that Ashbee had rather looked for something superb, and during his first few moments beside Miss Roselle's hammock was perhaps at some loss to understand the potency of allurements which radiated from so nondescript a face and figure and certain boyish attitudes that flavored of a boarding-hous- e hoyden nut for fun. The apple of a score of glowing masculine eyes and the sole inspiration of half as many appealingly diligent tongues, the little lady in the middle of the evening suddenly leaped out of her hammock to scamper across to n A number at cluster of men trailed after her. Ashbee. whose conversation with her had sparkled, turned fretfully to Dalblac with: It's her blasted indifference th u drives you donkeys mad. Why d.m t you get up a rival game?

At about the end of Ashbie's second week, however, it appeared for tlio moment that the young woman had returned to the old love. She rose with her customary abruptness from the circle of trousers, remarking that perhaps Van Ness would fancy an airing. He sprang up hurriedly to taka advantage of this wonderful suggestion with every mark of delight But they were not away long. Soon Ashbee, with a suspicion of valnglorlous-nes- s, asserted an unimpaired power over the belle by drawing her away for a walk of hia own, thus summarily repudiating and avenging his alight).

South Wales, who says: It is with great pleasure that I add By wiling testimony to the invaluable excellence of your celebrated St Jacobs Oil, as experienced in my own case. I sprained both my ankles in walking down some steps so severely that I was unable to stand for several months. The pain I suffered was most sevtre and nothing that I used helped me until I applied SL Jacobs Oil, when they immediately became better daily, and in a short time I was able to go about, and soon after I wag quite cured. I am now determined to advise all persons suffering from pains to use this wonderful remedy, which did bo much for me. Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to what treatment she pursued during the months she was unable to stand, and during which time she was suffering so much, hut we venture to suggest that had she called in any n medical man he would have at once prescribed St. Jacobs Oil, for it has conquered pain upwards of fifty years, and doctors know there is nothing so good. The proprietors of St. Jacob's oil have been awarded twelve gold medals by different international exhibitions as the premier pain-killiremedy of the world. The committees who made the awards were in each instance composed largely of the most eminent medical men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did not know the high opinion in which fit.

This thing was the pronunciation of hia name. The English, the French, the Italians, the Russians, all had their own way of accosting him, and even the Germans generally got It wrong, most of them addressing him as Wircho" (the German W being pronounced like the English V). The correct pronunciation, according to the professor, is Flrcho (the 1 being like 1 in pin, and the ch being, of course, pronounced in the Grrmaa way). New York Post Rev.
