A woman’s face plainly indicates the state of her health. Wrinkles, which every woman dreads, are not necessarily a. sign of age. Palor of face, wrinkles and a prematurely aged appearance are the outward inâ€" dication of those ailments that afflict womankind alone, and from which she too often suffers in uncomplainâ€" ing silence, rather than consult a doctor. In this condition Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Pink Pills are women’s best friend. They actually make. new, rich, red blood, and this blood act- ing upon the nerves and all the or- gans of the body, brings new health and happiness to weak, weary and rlespondent women. Mrs. John Mcâ€" Kerr, Chickney, N.W.T., tells for the benefit of other suffering women how she found new health throuin the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. “For some years,” says Mrs. Mc- Kerr, “1 was greatly afflicted with the ailments that make the lives of so many of my sex miserable. The suffering I endured can only be Unâ€" derstood by those who are similarly afflicted. I tried many medicines but found none that helped me until I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These have actually made me feel like a new person, and the suf- fering I had endured almost contin- uously has passed away, and life is no longer the burden it once seemed. I think these pills worth their weight in gold to all who suffer from fe- male complaints or general prostra- tion.” We ask every suffering. woman to give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a fair trial. They will not disappoint you, and the benefit they will give is not for an hour or a. dayâ€"7ft is permanâ€" ent. You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail from the Dr.-ll’illiams"Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50.

A New Yorker Was Left $200,000 By the Girl to Whom He Was Formerly Engaged. Few men have had better cause for belief in the truth of the old proverb, “’Tis better to have loved and lost,” etc., than Mr. J. Alonzo See, a gentleman engaged in the officesof the Yonkers Gas Company, who has just been left by the girl to whom he was formerly engaged the substantial sum of $200,000. There is, moreover, a romance in the Story which adds considerably to its interest. I It appears that seven years ago Mr. See met Miss Helen Kleine in New York, and after passing through the usual phases of acquaintance, friendship, and love, proposed and was accepted. Everything prosper- ed, and the couple were beginning to have some doubts about the truth respecting the "course of true love,” when a slight misunderstanding arose, though what about no one but Mn See now kiiows, and he, in spite of the attacks of: some forty-nine American newspaper reporters, firmly declined to say. Whatever it was, however, it suffic- ed to separate the two, and the en- gagement was broken off. Friends thought. it was merely a lovers’ guarrel, and that the usual reconcilâ€" iatio-n would take place the following week. but each was too proud to be the first to break'down the cold barrier of reserve until the return to the former understanding was renâ€" dered impossible by the marriage of Miss Kleine to William F. Jennett, of Detroit. The two. appear 't'o_have had a lisp- py life together, which was only broken by the death of Mr. Jennett, u. _few months ago, in Detroit. On the 27th January last the Widow also expired at _the Majestic Hotel, New York, at the age of thirty-two. Mr. See attended the funeral, and was somewhat surprised when he reâ€" ceived a request to be present at the READING OF THE WILL. When this document was opened it Was found that We; J ennett had be- queathed tw0 legacies only-one of $5,000 to Frederick Steinler, of Do- troit; the other, consisting of pro- perty Valued at $200,000, to her former sweetheart, Alonzo See. There Is no dispute over the will, and the lucky man, who is not yet thirty- five years of age, has already come all- [into possession of his fortune. To in nnt. of course. an uncommon thing for a. man who has loved and been rejected to leave his fortune to the woman who has declined his suit. This was the case with Mr. Charles Hawley, an Englishman, who died in 1901,, and whose will may be seen in Somerset House. Mr. Hawle was a..wealth'y dealer in malt and when a. young man of twentyâ€" tive had fallen desperately in love with a. young lady from Liverpool, who happened to' be visiting some mutual friends. Miss Adams at the time was, unâ€" fortunately, already I-fawley, who appears to heme held the old belief that “All’s fair in love and war,” begged her to break off the engagement and marry him. Miss Adams naturally declined to do this, first because it would have been dishonorable, second because she loved her fiance, and third because she did not care in any way for the impetuous Hawley. She returned to Liverpool after receiving an impasâ€" sioned letter from her would-be lover and, so curiously do things turn out, a few months later her fiance was killed IN A CARRIAGE ACCIDENT. ’As soon as I-Iawley heard of this he once more pressed his suit, but was again rejected.- sold his business and retired to a. house in the country, where he lived a solitary life until the spring of 1901, when he died, leaving his enâ€" tire property to Miss Adams, togethâ€" er with a. letter in which he stated that even in death he should think of her. Miss Adams, who was then happily married, declined to use the fortune for her own benefit, but de~ voted it to the support of some philanthropical institutions in which she was interested. , On the outskirts of a. small town in Somersetshire there is a. house which in former days attracted conâ€" siderable attention by reasan of the fact that night and day, winter and summer, the shutters were closely barred. No ray of sunlight was ever permitted to enter the rooms, for the occupant was a disciple of the fictional Miss Havisham and had adopted this curious manner of showing her sorrow for a. lost lover. Her story was Well known, and the writer himself heard it from a resi- dent who was well acquainted with the lady in her youth. More than thirty years ago she had been lenâ€" gaged to a. .doctor, the marriage-day was settled, and even the guests in- vited, when the bride received some news respecting her lover which prompted her to write and break off the engagement, at the same time absolutely refusing to see him or re- ceive any explanations. Then she retired to a house which she owued in a lonely part of Somerset, where she lived for twenty-five years with one devoted " mairdservant. To all outward appearances the house was untenanted, but people passing knew that Kithin there was a misanthropic woman wasting her days in useless regrets and fast approaching a soliâ€" tary and unloved old age. FIVE YEARS AGO SHE DIED and while she lay lifeless on the bed the shutters were thrown open, and the sunlight streamed in and shone upon the white face for the first time in five-andâ€"twenty years. After the funeral, when the will came to be read, it was found to contain a clause in which she forgave her old sweetheart and left him the. bulk of her property, amounting to many thousands a year, on condition that he lived in the house where her loneâ€" ly life had been spent. The doctor, who had never married and was then a man of about fifty, accepted the legacy and its conditions, and im- mediately afterwards took up his re- sidence in the house where so many |precious years of life had been wasted. Many a girl has been left a fortune iby the man to whom she was engag- ied', but who had unfortunately died before the wedding-day. A curious case of this kind Was brought to light recently through the burning of the Iroquois Theatre in Chicago. It appears that in Plainfields there is now living a young lady who a. year ago was earning a. modest in- come by teaching embroidery and needlework, but who is now in pose session of some $25,000 a year and a couple of estates. This lady, Miss Aliccâ€", was in 1902 giving a lesson in intricate embroidery in the house of a fashâ€" ionable society woman, where she met a wealthy broker, who promptly fell in love with her. In spite of interferences from his friends and re- lations he made it his business to beâ€" come better acquainted .with the modest seamtress, and, finding that she was as good as she was pretty, proposed and was accepted. This gentleman held somewhat ecâ€" centric, but nevertheless excellent ideas on the subject of engagements, and declared that as soon as a man became engaged he should regard the care of his fiancee and her future as sacred and important as though she were already his wife. In proof of his belief the very week which saw their engagement also witnessed'the drawing up of his will, in which, with some trifling exceptions, he left the greater part of his property to the girl who was shortly to become his wife. Much of his work called him to Chicago,-and on the night of the historic fire he occupied a seat in the circle where so many lives were lost. It is said that he might have escaped had he thought of himself but, like others who retained their presence of mind, he was lost in enâ€" deavoring to save the children. His‘ will was shortly afterwards proved, and the poor girl who once taught needlework at so much an hour is now a woman of wealth and posi- tion. engaged, but He thereupon FROM Bong sunTLu-n NOTES OF INTEREST FROM HER BANKS AND BRAES. â€"â€" What Is Going on in the High- lands and Lowlands of Auld Scotia.

Perth Town Council resolved to apâ€" ply for increased borrowing powers to the extent of £80,000 in connec- tion with electric, gas, water and improvement purposes. An elderly shepherd, named Farqu- liar MacRae, was found dead at Leo- The deceased, who was a widoxver, lived with his son and daughter, aged 16 and 17 respectively.
