beautiful faith, with eyes tightly closed,
trusting only to a tight hold on her
father's hand, she feared no rough places,
but knew she would be led safely over
and around all danger.
So we may feel as we go blindly through
the rough paths of life, we only hold
"tightly to our Father's hand.” Our
trouble is. we do not close our eyes and
give ourselves up entirely to God’s guid
ance; we are apt to "peep” now and
then, and think we can help the Lord;
then we weaken our clasp and we are
sure to stumble. Like the little child, let
us close, our eyes, be entirely blind to all
outward circumstances, and take a tight
hold of the hand that we may’ rest as
sured will "take us safely over the bard
places."

MRS, ETHELWATKINS
GIVEN THREE MONTHS TO LIVE BY
A COUNCIL OF DOCTORS.
Cured, of Anaemia by Dr, Williams’
Pink Pills After Ordinary
Medicines Had Failed,
From a despondent woman, given up
to die by the best physicians she could
summon, Mrs. Ethel Watkins, of No.
I 12 Parker stredt, Scranton, Pa., lias be
come Well and cheerful, a. living, en
thusiastic endorsement of the remedy to
which sTie owes her life and health. Mrs.
Watkins was afflicted with anaemia, a
disease in which the blood becomes so
defleienf aS to bo Unable to furnish the
tissues of the body with necessary nour
ishment. Every organ is starved and
the patient becomes white and waxen in
appearance. If this condition is not
quickly remedied it runs into persistent
anaemia, one of the most hopeless of
diseases. In Mrs. Watkins' case, as
usually happens, the character of the
disease was not discovered until it was
Well advanced. She says;
"If I happened to scratch or cut my
self no blood would flow—just a watery
looking fluid. I was shockingly thin, as
white as a sheet and without a bit of
strength. Three doctors attended TU" and
•all said 1 doiild not live three months. I
had no appetite, my heart was weak,
sleep did not rest nr- and 1 became
despondent.
"The doctors’ medicines idid not help
me and neither did anything else that L
tried until, upon the advice of a friend
who had been cured of anaemia by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, I
began using them. They helped me al
most immediately ami. by the time J had
taken seven boxes, cured mo. 1 am al

Effie Baker, Moody. Ark.—A few weeks
ago I offered hardy begonias hi our paper.
Since that time 1 have had so many let
ters of Inquiry, with Aunt Susie's per
mission I will answer a few of the many
questions here. I have a box 2 by 2 feet
square tilled with very rich dirt; In this
1 planted a begonia in early spring. When
the plant was I foot high the chickens
(or a chicken) ate every leaf from the
phant. We thought the plant was ruined,
but it put out new leaves and has now
about twenty stems or stalks; these are
from 2 to 4 feet high; on each stalk Is a
cluster of flowers, cream, slightly tinged
pink, is magnificent and a splendid bloom
er. This box gets the morning sun; after
10 o'clock il is in the shade. I have been
asked is this a fine flower. T suppose not,
on account of its being so easy kept.

Every one In our community has one, yet
it Is a beautiful plant and Is an ornament
to 'any collection. Sometimes in the fall I
cut the tops off and turn the box bottom
side uj> in a sunny situation and I have
kept it by turning the roots out on the
'ground and covering It with leaves; have
kept it 'ln the open soli without any pro
tection whatever. I have qulto a lot of
it. Will send a root with two anstrla
bulbs, my fly poison and other flower
seed. Would like bleach domestic, lace,

Mrs. T. W. Boone, Wildwood, (Car

eral months since I ventured calling
again on our Industrial circle, for house
hold duties with some sickness has press
ed heavy. But I have not failed to read
the many letters of other sisters, which
are so cheering and inspiring, especially
such cheerful ones as the lady from Mis
sissippi wrote concerning their overflow.
I have forgotten her name, but she cer
tainly showed great courage and tact
for looking on the bright side under try
ing difficulties which is right and a rare
virtue to possess. Well we have so
very much here to be thankful for to a
gracious, loving heavenly father. Crops
,of all kinds are good, yes even very
good. No storms of any kind have
visited the tiller of the soil or come
to hinder the waterman and fishing in
dustries which has been all they could
desire and is still progressing. Fruits
as well as the staple crops have been
excellent and the juicy, delicious water

been an unusually large yield, T this sea

Bird Lovers Society is not altogether
lost or waned, but still I would like
to sec it g"t stronger for the inno
cent song birds are our best friends and
should be better taken care of than
they are, for the earth would indeed
be a dreary place without their song of
praise to say nothing of the good they
do the fields and this assists the tiller
of the soil. It makes me sad to see a
dead bird on ladles’ liats for I know
there is loss in more ways than one
and cannot be repaired, and the imita
tion of God’s beautiful flowers are far
more suitable and becoming as a head
dresg and besides the making of these
give employment to many bread winners
and this inflicts no wounds on any liv
ing innocent creature of God’s handi
work, and he surely designed the sweet
songsters for our benefit on earth, but
not to satisfy woman’s vanity nor the
hunter’s greed of immediate money gain
though it cost a life. Please lot me
say to those who wrote me concerning
feathers, that, my inquiry was printed
wrong—should have been the reverse aS
I, too, was asking where 1 could sell
