We’ve got an organ In the church—very tinest in the land.
It’s got a thousand pipes or more, its melody is grand.
Aud when we sit on cushioned pews and hear the master play,
It carries us to realms of bliss unnumbered miles away.

In which the Fraser rivers rises; and!
the seene'of tills narrative is the val- i
ley of a small tributary now known i
as McDougal's creek.
Along the creek for a distance of
several miles there are grassy plats of '
alluvial meadows of such fertility and
such sylvan <i>eauty that in the sum
mer of 1891 one Roscoe McDougal was
tempted to settle here, having it in
mind to keep cattle and sheep. Lofty

OLD MIZZKOOK DAXCED ABOI’T THE SUED
pine logs and ‘'splits," and adjoining
it built a log shed for the throe cows,
which one by one l lie led up here from
the nearest human habitation, fifty
miles lower down the river.
To this remote spot, during the sum-
Iner of 1895, he brought Ills wife and
two little boys, Donald and James,
aged ten and eight Potatoes and tur
nips are said to have grown well here,
and McDougal might perhaps have
made a home for himself and family
and done well. But lie seems to have
lacked the patience to work and wait:
and during tho season of 1897, having
heard glowing accounts of the gold
found in the Klondike region, lie grow
.discontented, and left his family.
He cannot be said to have descried
them, for ho left them a good stock
ot 'loin- :n *;i,.|;s, ^.el other ■-iipplics;
the cows, too, afforded'n-ill: and but
t >r In n'v.'thiii.'o. Vet It i . s Utile loss'
than foolhardy to leave a woman and
two Ixiys at such a distance from hu
man aid and ronipanionship. They
appear, howevtr, to have passed tho
following winter without accident or
trouble, but In all that time did not
seo n human being,'except an Indian
squaw, who came occasionally to bog.
But in April calamity tell on them.
Mrs McDougal suffered a serious In
jury while attempting to lead one of
the cows. Inflammation ensued, from
which she dirri rm the fourth night
after, without medical aid, and at
tended only by the boys and the
squaw, who chanced to come to them.
The grief nnd terror of the poor lads
know no bounds.
Tlio squaw, a saturnine, hideous old
creature, took up her abode with them.
Perhaps tho dying mother had asked
her tn do so. She cooked their food
after a manner, but was very waste
ful and dirty. At times, however, she
went off to snare ptarmigan and bares,
nnd once fetched liomo n beaver, tho
tnll of which she cooked with curious
ceremonies and devoured With much
gusto. Her ntiino wns Mizzkook nt
least, that wns whnt little Jimmy nnd
Donald called her. ‘ Sometlmrs she
■Rpt over n day or two. nnd would
not get up to prepare food. When sho
had cooked, she gorged her el(, then
slept again. The lads learned to make
n kind of flour pone for themiclvea,
which they ate in milk, during these
long periods of slntnbor.
l . ...
After this liitdiion they lived through'
the summer, the hoys hoping every
day that.their f uller would come back.
Donald got out the scythe and put up
a little hay in the meadow. They also
planted n patch of potatoes. Their
f'jvf' lipw gayv b.u.t lltth.'.juiik; but .mt
the season adiam-ed they gathered'
berries.
Neither Indians nor wild beasts had
troubled them thus far, in summer or
winter; but one day in September of
that autumn they hoard their three
cows and their calves bawling fn a
frightful manner at a distance up the
‘meadow, and on running to learn the
cause of tho commotion, beheld a ter
rible spectacle.
An enormous animal, (lie like of
which they had never seen, had killed
om* of the cows, and was carrying it
away to the woods. The calf followed
after, bleating pitifully. Tin* other two
cows stood at a distar.ee, bellowing
loudly.
To Donald and Jimmy tho huge nn-
Imiil soomod to ho white, or nearly so.
It was probaldy a "silver-tip" grizzly
boar. It seemed to them to bo larger
than any one of the cows, nnd its
strength .must have been prodigious,
for it carried the body of the cow, n
large one. with apparent ense,
—Tlm-^ftm r.. hitpiuid. ui—luuuiv. -*a4i
Uomild by this savage incursion can
not he easily described. Awestruck,
they stared at the while monster, then
ran back to the shack to call old
Mizzkook. The latter, rousing from
her slumbers of repletion, issued forth,
and on seeing the. great tracks of the
boar in tile black loam of the meadow,
was at no less to comprehend what
had happened.
“Ncesquoom! Ncesquoom!" she
muttered, in some excite it, jnd
hade the boys drive the cows to the
shod and shut them up.
Nor would she permit them to be
turned out the next day, but assisted
the boys to cut and fetch dry grass
and water from the creek for them.
The calf lind not come back.
Nothing further was seen of the
bear •for a week or more, and they
hail turned out the cows again, when
the silver-tip made a second descent
on them, killing and carrying off an
other cow. A calf, too, was disabled;
mid the foray was made so near the
shack that the boys saw the bear ap
proach and heard its terrific roar ns ft
rushed upon the little herd.
So frightened, so tilled with horror
was little Jimmy that he shrieked
mid ran to hide himself in Hie farthest
corner of the shack, old Mizzkook
came forth, and stood mumbling, roll
ing her eyes, grunting strange execra
(ions. Donnld. who was old enough
to liilnk of defi tiding tlicit propertv,
lon.. I lor a gun; hut they had noth
ing hi the way of weapons save a dull
scythe and a duller ax
For another week tiny were not mo
lested—while the beur found Ute cow
RuUlcleut for his wants. Then one
night they were waked by the mourn
ful lowing of the cow ami calves, and
looking out, they saw the huge pale
specter of a beast standing at Ilie door
of the shed. The grizzly had come for
more beef.
Hut the log walls and door appeared
to puzzle the animal. IL ran to and.
fro, swinging its head, snorting and
snuffing, and presently camo to the
slinck door. Ono blow of the bear’s
huge paw would have crushed It.
The boys cowered in their bed,
shivering with fear, but the squaw
kindled a fire, and as soon as brands
were blazing, she threw one out at
the little window on Hint side. The
bear snorted and retired to a distance,
where It stood for a short time, as If
In astonishment, then came round near
the cow-shed again. Immediately the
cow resumed her plaintive lowing.
The bear stood up mid pawed the
walls of the shed, and would probab
ly have torn the structure down, nut
the squaw, opening the shuck door,
threw brands at him. The huge beast
went away, but returned toward morn
ing, and but for the sqmiw’s firebrands
would have secured the cow. At sun
rise It shuttled nwa.i w the meadows.
Not once during tlmVlong night had
the boyi closed their ®e t, but they
now fell asleep, and were only wak
ened several hours later by the sound
of blows. The cow and one of the
calves were In the shack. The squaw
was wielding the ax at the shed; and
on going out there Donald and Jimmy
scarcely recognized her!
From a gruntlug, apathetic old
creature, she appeared transformed
Into a gloaming-eyed fury. They were
nfrnld of her, she looked so wild and
dashed to nnd fro with such agility.
She had chopped off the rafters ot
the shed roof at both ends, where they
rested on the log walls of the shed,
but supported them by two props un
derneath. As sjie worked she sang
some sort of savage chnut over and
over, ending it every time with an
eldritch whoop.
The lads were wholly at a loss to
know what had come over her, or
what sho was doing in such a mood.
She .appeared entirely forgetful of
their food, nor could little Jimmy in
duce her to turn her attention to
cookery.
During the afternoon she set both
youngsters fetching stones from the
foot of the crags a few yards away,
and these sho piled on the roof of the
fslied. In a word, the squaw was set
ting a boar-trap probably after the
manner of her tribe. The task had
rouse 1 lier from her overfed apathy.
(She drove the lads to mid fro with
armfuls of stones, and fetched largo
ones herself, till a weight of several
tons had been plied ou the splits of
tho shed roof.
The squaw had left the lame calf fn
the shoil. tiotl at the tar end of It, and
.Would not allow Donati to lead it out;
but the other calf was with the eon
in the shed. At sunset she set the
door of the shed ajar, and the boys
now began better to eomprebend het
stratagem.
For If the bear entered nt the doot
<>f the shod to seize*tho calf at the far
end, hp would have to pass between
the two props, the bases of which she
had set on round sections of a pine
log. The props stood so near together
Unit the grizzly's body would displace
them, causing the logs to roll out
ward.
As night drjw on they retired to
the shaek, and remained quiet there,
without light or lire.
Toward midnight the cow began to
low. Tlie bear was coming. After a
time they heard It snuffling near the
door, mid again a great fear fell on
little Jimmy. But lie dnred not cry.
Not long after this they heard a
savage roaj, accompanied by a flat
ter. A moment later there was a tre
mendous crash, followed by hoarse,
awful outcries and roars of distress.
Old Mizzkook rati out and danced
about the shed, singing and whooping
In savage glee. Her trap had sprung.
But Donald and Jimmy were think
ing of their poor lame calf.
They dared not go near the shed,
TTOWiwor.'ovpn trfter trfurtt-growirtigtit
the next morning. The grizzly con
tinued its outcries at intervals all that
lay mid through the next night, moan
ing, groaning or roaring in anguish.
It must have died a horrible death
under that weight ot s'toncs. But the
outcries were music in old Mizzkook's
ears. She danced and snng In un
bounded delight, nor when the bear
‘ finally expired was she averse to feast
ing off its flesh.
Ider stratagem had at least saved
one cow for them; and in praise of her
ti'delity. such as it was, It mudt be
said that she remained there until
McDougal’s return in October, when
ho removed his boys to Juneau,
Alaska.
They left old Mizzkook in posses
sion of the shack, and nlso of the
cow mid calf.—Youth’s Companion.
Wi ll Horses on an Island.
Sable Island, which Iles about eighty
guiles to the eastward of Nova Scotia,
consists of an accumulation of loose
sand, forming a pair of ridges united
at the two ends and inclosing a shal
low lake; tracts of grass are to be met
with in places, as well as pools of
fresh water.
The droves of wild horses, or ponies,
and herds of seals appear to be the
chief mamalian Inhabitants of the Isl
and. It is generally supposed that the
original stock was lauded from a Span
ish wreck early in the sixteenth cen
tury. although some writers makp the
.introduction much Inter.
Twenty five year# ago the number
of ponies was estimated at 600; nt
the present day there are less than 200,
divided into five troops.
Not more than two-thlrds of these
are pure bred, the remainder being the
offspring of mares crossed with Intro
duced stallions.
Travelers have noticed the striking
likeness of these wild ponies to the
horses of the Parthenon frieze and to
the now exterminated tarpan of Tar
tary. They also seem to resemble the
wild horses of Mexico, although their
coat is doubtless longer.
Trouble Ahead.
Towne—Poor Dumley’s In for it. He
married a girl who stutters, you know,
Browne—Well, It shouldn't be hard
to out-talk a woman like that.

sho ever starts to sny anything, she’d
atutter through It if It takes all night.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM
A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE
How tho Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and
How the “Panic-of ’73” Caused it to be Offered
for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
THE STORY READS LIKE A ROMANCE
I 1
This remarkable woman, whose
madden name wits. Estes, was born Lu
Lynn, Mass., February lsi;>, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as a teacher she be
came known as a woman of an alert
and investigating mind, mi earnest
seeker after knowledge, mid above all,
she was possessed wlfli a wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkhnm,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a daugh
ter.
In those good old-fashioned days few
drugs were used In medicines; people
relied upon nature's remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious In con
trolling diseases than any combination
of drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a
deep Interest In medicine, in botany—
the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics, mid power over dis
ease; she believed that as nature
to bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the Ills and weaknesses of the body,
in the roots and herbs of the field,
and as a wife, mother mid sympathetic
friend, she often made use of her
knowledge of roots and herbs in pr.*
paring medicines for her family and
friends.
Knowing of so much suffering
HtißTtig her sex, nfter uiurii study and
research. Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases of women have a com
mon cans-*, and she set to Work to
find a "omnon remedy—not at that
time 'is a source of profit, but simply
thnt she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women of the world know to-day.
In 1873 the tinancial crisis strflek
Lynn. Its length and severity wa? too
much for the large real estate Inter
ests of the Pinkham family, as this
class of business suffered most from
tills fearful depression, so when the
Centennial year dawned it found their
property swept away.
At tills point the history of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound com
mences:
The three sons and daughter, with
their mother, combined forces to re
store tho family fortune. They re
sol, ed to give' to the world the vege

had so often mnde from roots nnd
herbs for such of her Women neigh
bors and friends Who were sick and
ailing. Its success in those cases had
been wonderful —its, fame had spread,
and eat4s were cutting from miles
around for this vffleacious vegetable
compound.
They had no money, and little
credit. Their first laboratory was the
kitchen, where roots and herbs wera,
steeped on the stove, gradually filling
a gross of bottles. Then came tiro
question of selling It, for always be
fore they had given it away free.
They hired a Job printer to run off
some pamphlets setting forth the mer
its of the medicine, now called Lydht
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and those pamphlets wore distributed
by the Pinkham sons in Boston. New!
York and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self advertising.'’ Rr wilOCTWased- 16 -
Teeommeudcd it to others, and the de
mand gradually Increased.
In 1877. by combined efforts, the
family had saved enough money to
commence newspaper advertising on a
small scale, and from that limo the
gfowth nnd success of the enterprise
was assured, until today Lydia E.
Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound
have become household words every
where. and thousan'ds of pounds of
roots and herbs are used annually In
making this great remedy for woman's'
ills.
Although Lydia E. Pinkham passed
to her reward some years ago. the per
petuation of her great work was
guarded by her fbreslgbt.
lluring her long ani eventful experi
ence she was ever methodical In her
work and was careful to preserve a
record of every case that came -to Iter
attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
—and there ivciv thousands—-received
careful study, and the details. Includ
ing symptoms, treatment and results,
were recorded for future reference,
and to-day these records, together with
thousands made since, are available to
sick women the world over, and repre
sent a vast collaboration of Informa
tion regarding th« treatment of wom
an's ills which, for authenticity and
accuracy, can hardly be equaled ill any
library in tho world.
Aimili.-r net of foresight on the part
of l.yilia 1;. J 'inlm ii, was to seo lliat
some one of her family was trained to
carry ou her work, and with that end
in view, for years before her death.,
had as her chief assistant her datigh
ter-iu-lnw, the present Mrs. I'inkham.
Therefore, under tlie guidance andl
careful training of Lydia E. r*lnkhiim. {
and a vast experience of her own,
covering twenty five years, the present
Mrs. I’inkham is exceptionally well
equipped Io advise sick women, which
she is always glad to do free of
charge.
The record of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, mnde of simple
herbs and roots, Is a proud and peer
