We have also" heard of the man who, when a fire oc curred in the building in which he was staying, poured water out of the window and rescued himself by sliding down the icicle thus formed. Neither do we believe that. But right here in Laporte, where old Boreas takes particular pride in exhibiting his skill, happens one that is contrary to both the laws of nature and the law prohibiting the sale of adulterated goods. We be lieve this one localise we were an eye witness and if after reading this sketch you doubt our veracity we can produce evidence that beats the north pole proofs all hollow. Here's what happened: One of our citizens, John Has sen, Sr., usually carries a lantern at night, and as a rule leaves it in doors when through with it. but recently on rather chilly night he left it outside the house. Nothing curious about that but here's the sticker. When after some time he tried to light the lantern it failed to respond nary a glim. After sev eral futile attempts to fire the stub born wick he decided to investigate and taking off the burner found that the contents of the oil cham ber had turned to ice. It had not frozen completely but a good share of the oil (?) was as solid as. the hubs of Greenland. Never before have we heard of like occurrence and after a careful investigation and a few Holinesistic deductions have decided that the lantern con tained a quantity of Rockefeller's . watered stock. Only fourteen more shopping days l>efore Christmas. Better get busy selecting those gifts. I Damaris j The gathering night was filled with the prophecies of the breaking storm. The first drops of sleet were already knocking sharply on the window panes; all about the solitary house the wind Joined its moaning with the lamentation of the vast gray waters, and regularly over the eollan accom paniment of wind and wave came the long wails of the whistling buoy far down the bay. Damarls French set a brightly burning lamp on one of the kitchen window sills; It was a custom hon ored by the generations of Frenches who had dwelt on that Island in the bay, that on stormy nights a light should be kept burning to guide any man to haven who might be on the seething waves. The girl stood looking down the avenue of light into the vast grayness beyond, and her strong young face trembled with emotion, for in the quiet places of her heart there was a great sorrow that rang with the moan ing of the waves. "I set my signal and he failed to come." Through the long watches of the night before Damaris had fought with the grim thing that lay in her broth er's lungs and protested at each breath that came in or went out, and when the morning had dawned it had seemed as if her strength were gone. Then Damarls had stood in the doorway and watched the rising sun tinge every wave with brightness, and looked over to the little village on the mainland where the roofs shone white. Over in that village on the main land dwelt young Dr. Stickney. With the earnestness born of his love for Damaris he had come to the island day by day and wooed its fair young mistress with a quiet persistency that wa3 full of latent strength. And when Damaris had gently tried to make him understand that his presence was superfluous to her happiness he would come back the next day and talk lob ster catching with Lon. To satisfy his persistency she had made the concession of a promise that if ever she wanted him she would hoist a square white flag on her pole and he would might be in the way he would come to her. And as she had watched the morn ing light dancing on the crests of the waves she had stretched out her hands as If something of the man's strength 'came to her across the wa ters. "For Icon's sake I will call you, Marc Stickney," she cried, and 10 minutes later a square of white sail cloth floated broad in the morning sunlight. As she looked Into the vast gray ness of the coming night the sorrow of it filled her young heart; It was for Lon's sake she had waved that mes sage to the strong man across the wa ters and he had not heeded her neces sity. Now that the darkness and storm had come it was too late. The girl was very weary, and now that Lon was better and sleeping quietly their was time for thought. It was a bitter thing that her call had been disregarded and she spoke quick ly to herself; "I'll haul down the flag!" Out in the night all was blackness save for the shaft of ligiht from the window and the twinkling of the Twin Lights on a reef far out to sea. The sleet cut sharply against Damaris' face as she ran along the cliff, and the wind tore wildly at her hair. The flag cracked smartly above her head and Damaris pulled frantically at the halyards to haul it down. "I could pull like this at a man's heart!" she cried, and her laugh echoed Into the moaning of the waves. With a long, ripping tear the flag came down. A great sob burst from Damarls. She had felt so certain of Marc Stickney in her hour of need! The buoy whistled shriller now, and the roar of the storm was echoing from the waves. As Damaris stag gered back through the wildness of the night she fell strangely alone amidst the vastness of the storm. She pushed open the kitchen door and stood amazed on the threshold, her fair hair blown loose about her head and the flush of the wind on her face. A tall man by the atove turned and put out both hands. "Damarls!" he said. The girl threw back her head. "Lon's better," she said, briefly. Marc Stickney did not move, but the cords rose on his strong, young face. "I sent for you this morning for Lon," explained Damaris. The man raised one hand slightly. "My mother saw your signal set /or me. I have come from far to do your bidding, Damaris!" "Lon needed you," said the girl. She still held fast to the dripping piece of sail cloth that she had torn from the night. All at once Damarls remembered what this man had done for her; how he must have come over the danger ously seething bay at the peril of his own life; how he had not failed of the promise, even though It must cost an ending In the angry waters. "Damarls! Is it that my coming Is nothing to you?" he asked, and all the strength of love was iji his face. The girl leaned slightly forward. The sail cloth lay in a heap on the floor. All that mattered now was this man and the Joy that seemed bursting her heart. She put out her hands to meet his and her voice faltered a lit tle: "I guess It was I who wanted you!" •he said—MlSS RUBY H. MARTYN. Man's Lifeless Body Found by the Roadside. Dushore Review.

Many a father or mother would give their all to restore such a child to health "I am heartily glad to tell you of our little boy who was completely cured of fits. He commenced hav ing them at 10 years of age and had them for four years. I tried three doctors and one specialist but all of them said he could not be cured, but Dr. Milei' Restorative Nervine and Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills made a comptete cure. He is now hale, hearty and gay. It has been three years since he had the last spell. I shall give Dr. Miles' medicines praise wherever 1 go.
