A Thirteen-Year-Old
Child Paralyzed.
It Wm rnunril Uy a Nervous AfTectlou,
and Kcndcrrd One Ariu Lifeless.
(From tlio Times, l'aolu, Kansas )
A happy family is that of Mr. James
McKinney, of Hillsdale, Kansas, on whom
a Times reporter recently called. His bus
iness with these people wus to learn the facts
for his paper of the cure of their 111 year
old daughter from a case of uervous pros
tratiou. and tho facts wore learned from
Mrs McKinney herself, who quickly tolil
the following story:
“Tho first perceptible result of her ex
treme nervousness was apparent in a halting
step of the child in her right limb,” said
the mother, “and a physician was called in
to attend her. No apparent change coming,
another doctor was called to attend her.
She continued to grow worse, although wo
thought tho doctors helped her, until she
lost the use entirely of her right arm, which
hung listless, and apparently lifeless by
her side.”
“The physicians finally told us," contin
ued Mrs. McKinney, “ that Mary would
outgrow it in time, but by accident my
husband picked up a circular in his shop,
which so highly recommended Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People,that we concluded
to try them. Mr. McKinney procured a box
at Grimes’ drug store in Paola, and we be
gan by giving Mary a hair pill ut a time,
and gradually increasing to one pill at a
time, and before we had used one box wo
could see they were doing her good. This
was one year ago. She had been suffering
at that time for four years, under the doc
tors. and we were so encouraged over tho
good effects* of the uso of Dr Williams' Pink
Pills, that wo continued to use them, and
the child started to school again and has
been able to attend school ever since, grad
ually getting stronger and in better health
all the time as you now see her, and wo
don't notice tho old trouble any more.
“ Yes, wo are always ready and willing to
recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and
do so all the time to our friends,” replied
Mrs. McKinney to our question; and con
tinuing. she said : “Wo do not know what
the doctors called Mary's affliction, but we
took it to be something like paralysis or St.
Vitus’ dance, and we became very much
alarmed about her.
"Our local physician," she says, "now
tells us that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are as
rood a thing as we could use; and while
Mary is apparently well, she lias,occasional
attacks of nervous headache, and then she
says: Ma luma, I must taka another Pink
Pill,' so you see she has great faith in them,
but does not like to havo us talk about her
late affliction.”
Mr. McKinney is as much or more en
thusiastic over ’the great benefit done bis
laughter through tiie use of these pills. He
said: "Nothing too good can be said by
me of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills—they aro a
great medicine.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
ns suppressions, irregularities and all forms
of weakness. In rnen they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
over-work or excesses of whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at f»0 cents a box or six boxes for f'J..MI,
and may bn hud of all druggists,or direct by
mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company,

HELEN KELLER.
The Manner In Which Mho Was Taught
to Speak and to Keail Speech.
Helen Keller is n household miine
both in America and foreign lands.
She is blind as well as deaf. That the
walls of silence and darkness which
shut her from the world have been
broken down that her soul has been
set free, and the seal of silence taken
from her lips seems miraculous to
those who know not how it was done.
The limits of this article will pemit
only the briefest outline of her story.
Rendered both deaf and blind at
nineteen months by severe illness, she
passed the first seven years of her life
in sflence. darkness and ignorance.
Who could have suspected the exquis
ite soul imprisoned in that mute and
darkened body? A bright, patient, lov
ing woman came, and the miracle be
gan.
There was only one possible avenue
of approach to the beleaguered soul.
The sense of touch remained, and to
that the teacher. Miss Annie M. Sulli
van. addressed her effort*. Through
finger spelling the child at length pb
tained the idea of language, and with
this key other doors could he unlocked.
Having naturally a line mind, she
learned rapidly when once started,
and developed a phenomenal memory.
While Helen received information
only through manual spelling and
in limited amount, sin l never forgot.
'l*o tell her something was like writ
ing it in a hook. When you wished
the fact again mouths or evou years
afterward, you had only to ask for it.
Hut later, as she began to read books,
to meet more people and to receive im
pressions through more channels and
in larger numbers, her memory ceased
to lie so absolutely reliable.
rntil sin* was eleven years of age
her only means of communication was
by finger spelling. Then, at her own
\ urgent request, she was given 1 ssons
in speech by Miss Fuller, principal of
the Horace Mann school. The rapid
ity with which she acquired tiie abil
ity to speak was unprecedented. She
soon abandoned linger spelling and
has ever since used speech alone.
But others still had to communicate
with her by their fingers. She then
■xpressed a strong wish to learn to
read the lips by touching them with
her fingers. For the purpose of at
tempting this difficult task and to get
special training in speech she came to
tlx* Wright-IJhmiasoji school in New
York City. During tin* two years she
remained there six* succeeded in ac
i quiring tin* power of understanding
people when they spoke to her, and at
Jl the same time pursued the regular
P courses ir the study of arithmetic.
9 history, physical geography. French
K and German. Sin* has read very much
of the best literature and is very in
telligent on the topics of the day. Her
own speech is now excellent, and she
lias entered the girl's school at Cam
bridge. Massachusetts, where she is
taking a course preparatory for Had
<•11(1*0 College.
When being spoken to she places her
Index finger lightly upon tin* lips.
| while the other lingers rest tin*

nose. Her thumb is upon the 1/lrynx.
This position gives her tin* greatest

TIME FOUND HER OUT.
E loved her. Ho
meant to tell her
so, and the mo
ment for doing so
had come. The
Huffy golden head
was very near, a
few words had
been spoken —when
the door opened
and Ella Stanton
entered.
A frown clouded the brow of Dr.
Ralph Stanton, the eminent young phy
sician • who everybody declared would
make his fortune In his profession,
and pretty Nellie Saville escaped, glad
to hide her flushed cheeks from her
cousin's jealous eyes.
Mrs. Stanton threw herself languid
ly into the depths of an easy chair.
"So I have found you at last, my dear
Ralph. I have been seeking you for
the last hour.”
He hated this woman In spite of her
dark, witching beauty. His uncle had
found that beauty irresistible, and by
a late marriage robbed his nephew of
the quarter of a million which he ha<l
taught him to expect would one day
be his.
"What did you want with me?” he
asked curtly.
"You are cross. I wanted your so
ciety; nothing more. Is there any
thing strange in that?”
“Most flattering of you, my dear
aunt, I am sure.” *
It was Mrs. Stanton’s turn to frown.
"Don't call me by that hateful name.
If I did marry your uncle, you might
remember that I am not yet 25. By the
way, Nellie Saville quits the teens next
week.”
"Indeed!"
“Yes. Charming girl. Isn’t she?
Really. Ralph, if you should see the
dismal hole of a parsonage where that
girl’s parents live you would feel grate
ful to me for my compassionate gen
erosity in taking her from it for n lit
tle while. Are you going to Lady
Campbell's this afternoon, Ralph?”
“No, I detest tea and tennis.”
“So do I. Besides, I have a head
ache. Will you prescribe for me?”
After the majority of Mrs. Oak
brook’s guests had departed for Camp
bell house. Dr. Stanton was pacing the
lawn with Sir John Dobby, smoking
cigarettes and talking politics; and in
doors his relative occupied a* velvet
lounge and tried to read the last new
novel.
He came to her at last; but It was
with a serious face and an open tele
gram In his hand.
"My sister has met with an accident.
Levison wants me to go at once.”
“0. Ralph! Is it serious? You will
return here?”
*1 think not.” he returned, replying
to thb latter question.
“You will come to Melton Willows
at Christmas. Ralph?”
“I really cannot promise. Good-by.”
She sat there until the sound of the
horse’s hoofs had died away, then she
crossed the room and looked at the
notes ho had written. One was for his
hostess—apology and explanation, of
course—but the other was for "Miss
Saville.” A moment's hesitation—then
she tore it open.
“Dear Miss Saville: Before yr?i seo
this you will know the reason of my
sudden departure. But I cannot wait
until our next meeting for the answer
to the question I should have asked
you this morning If Mrs. Stanton’s en-
HE LOVED HER.
trance had not prevented me from do
ing so. I want you to be my wife,
Nellie—my loved and honored wife.
Will you? Write yes or no soon to
your loving but Impatient Ralph.”
A small fire burned in the grate.
She put the letter into her pocket, and
burned the envelope.
***•••
“Dear Ralph,” murmured the lady,
“I want you to write to him for me,
Nellie. He promised to let me know
how his sister was. but I suppose ho
has not had tine. He does not know
your handwriting, 1 think.”
Very soon Ella Stanton had dictated
a gushing, affectionate letter, and with
blanching cheeks Nellie had written it.
“Don’t close It now. Nellie. Throw
it aside. There is only one other that
need be written now.”
"What is it?" Nellie asked, a trifle
wearily.
“Why, you know, dear, Mr. Graham
wants me to open the Brixton ba
zaar, but I really don't feel equal to
the task. I must write to decline, but
he always laughs at nerves, and I do
so hate being laughed at.”
“My Dear Friend: I have thought
fully considered the subject, and must
Recline the honor. I am grieved be
yond expression to disappoint you,
but, feeling as I do, I cannot act other
wise. However, 1 feel confident that
you will meet with one worthier than
I—that what I cannot grant she will
joyfully concede. Only one thing I
ask —that this shall in no way Inter
fere with the friendly relations which
have always existed between us.”
"I think It is making too much cf
a little thing, Ella. You will sign It,
of course?”
"No, dear; do it for mo. Only Ini
tials. How singular that they should
be alike, is It not? Ella Stanton.
Elinor Saville. There, now, dear, just
run up-stairs and see if Louise has
mended that lnco I tore last night."
A moment more, and Ralph Stan
ton’s simple, honest letter lay open be
fore her. Jealousy had quickened her
•memory. She know it by heart.
Refolding It, she inclosed it with
that other In nn envelope addressed
in Nellie’s pretty, graceful, caligrnphy
to "Ralph Stanton, Esq.,” and sealed it
carefully.
It was necessary to destroy the mis
sive originally Intended for Ralph,
and to indite another one to Mr. Gra
ham if discovery was to be avoided.
Two years later Dr. Stanton was
Journeying northward. The London
season was over, and the famous phy
sician had been on the point of start
ing for his holiday, when he was sum
moned by telegram to Sir Christopher
Knott, a wealthy patient brimming
over with gout and crotchets.
Thinking! It was drearrlngr
Dreaming of n idim, petite figure and
fluffy golden hair, and glorious blue
eyes. Yes, though she had refused
him, he loved her still. Her home was
at Grimstone.
Would he see her? What folly!
Doubtless she was married, and. If not,
had she not told him in the cruel lit
tle letter, which was even now in his
breast pocket of his coat, that it could
never be?
“Grimstone! Grimstone!” shouted a
porter, and so his reflections canto to
an end. But only to awaken Into
lively interest. From a second-class
carriage a girl alighted—a girl in a
neat little hat and gray dust cloak.
Underneath that hat was a piquant
little face and clustering fringe of
fluffy golden curls.
Nellie was alone in the drawing
room. Suitors had wooed in vain.
She was tho orthodox clergyman's
daughter, with her duties to perform
j ns they rose fresh each day, and in
tho past a nameless disappointment.
Her though’., had turned on that
visit to Oakbrook two years ago, when
the waiting maid brought in a card,
“Dr. Stanton.” .
“This is, indeed, a pleasant sitr.
prise,” she said, with a rosy flush that
told its own story. “I am sorry mam
ma is not at home.”
"I am staying in the neighborhood,
professionally and "could not leave
without calling on you. It is the priv
ilege of friendship, and you desired
that we continue friends."
Nellie looked puzzled. "I do not un
derstand you. What do you mean?”
"1 beg your pardon for the allusion,
Miss Saville, but you cannot have for
gotten? 'Fhe words were in your let
ter —a letter I have kept because you
wrote it. In spite of its contents.”
“Indeed you are under u mistake. I
never wrote to you in my life.”
"Then you never wrote this or re
ceived this?"
And he placed in her hand tho two
unfortunate letters.

When tho primroses looked like
stars in tho grass and the air vat
filled with the odor of violets, a wed
ding took place at Grimstone church.

Do MiiPtodoni* Still Live?
I A very curious report comes from (hr
l far northwest in cur unexplored Alas
kan possessions. It is that living mas
todons have been seen in those regions
by native Indians within the past five
years. Such reports have come before
from furriers, but as these were white
men with the vices of civilization, they
were not fully believed. Now comes
confirmation from the Stick Indians
who live in that region. One of them
lately reports that he followed an im
mense track that seemed to be freshly
made. Going to the brow of an eleva
tion he saw a sight that chilled him
and sent him quickly in retreat. It
was of immense animals contending
in battle. He said it was bigger than
the post trader’s house, had great shin
ing yellow tusks and a mouth large
enough to swallow a man. Relics of
mastodon hones have heretofore been
found with those of prehistoric man.
Doubtless he was man’s most danger
ous enemy before history began. If this
story had originated In one of the sen
sational eastern papers we should not
give It a moment’s attention. But it
comes from the Alaska News, which we
are charitable enough to hope is a repu
table paper, and readers of the Ameri
can Cultivator are entitled to hear this
story, which, if true, is of great scienti
fic interest. It used to be thought that
mastodons could only live in hot, or p.t
least moderate climates. But the mas
todon had very heavy fur, as we know
from pieces of skin found encased ill ice
in Siberia some years ago. It is n<st
an impossibility that a few specimens
of the mastodon may have survived to
the present day In localities not acces
sible to man.
Lightning nn«l Trees.
Cedar and flg trees are rarely struct:
by lightning. The beech, the larch,
the tir and the chestnut also seem to
he peculiarly obnoxious to the "boltr
of Jove.” There are trees, however,
which appear to attract rather than to
repel fhe lightning flash. The trees
generally enumerated in the category
of those which the lightning is most
apt to strike are the oak. the yew, tha
elm and the Lombardy poplar.

THE SAFETY OF RESERVOIRS.
Important Log'elation Wanted liy Larimer
County Farmer*.
. Fort Collins, Colo., .Tan. 7.—A meet
ing of prominent farmers of the Pou
<lre valley was held here yesterday
with tlie purpose of talcing an initial
step towards legislation hearing upon
the lllling of irrigation reservoirs by
Individuals beyond a point of safety
to the people and property under them.
The subject was carefully gone over
and it was resolved to employ the ser
vices of an attorney to draft a bill
placing reservoirs under the supervis
ion of the state engineer, giving that
olllcial power when called upon to per
sonally examine any reservoir com
plained of t«» see if it is not tilled with
water beyond the danger point, and
should he 11ml that any had been so
tilled lie to have the power to raise the
waste gate and lower tin* water to a
point of safety. It is also proposed, if
possible, to make individual stockhold
ers in reservoirs responsible as well
as the corporation for damages that
may result from the breaking of reser
voirs. The hill is now being drafted
and will soon he placed in the hands
of Senator Evans for introduction in
the upper house.

A Cheap Turkish Bath.
In these busy days few people can spare
the time, even If they have the money, for a
genuine Turkish hath. As a substitute noth
ing Is better than the following: Have the
hath moderately tilled with hot water, Into
which throw two good handfuls of common
soda, the soda which Is used for household
purposes. Sit In the hath, throwing water
freely nil over the hotly with a sponge.
When you have done this thoroughly, dry
quickly with a coarse towel, and then use
either a tlesh brush or a new harsh towel,
rubbing the hotly rapidly t<> give It u glow.
The next morning you will tlml your skin
beautifully soft and clean. A woman once
quite a martyr to rheumatism takes this
bath once a week as a preventive to that
horrible pain, and since doing so lias not j
felt a twinge. The best time to take It Is
oil going to bed. as the soda opens the pores
so that a little care Is necessary not to get
a chili.

for and preventive of the disease In every
form. Not less effective Is It In curing
rheumatism, liver and kidney complaints,
dyspepsia, biliousness and nervousness.
