When the wind was blowing a stiff southwest gale, Alfred, with half a doven friends, took the big kite out to a vacant lot near the Maine hos- p'tal and prepared to send it up. The kite is nine feet long, made of cedar and covered with canvas. Alfred’s feet caught in a big rope and, as the monster suddenly sorred upward, he was carried sixty feet into the air, dangling headdownward. Suddenly the kite began to dive and he was flung to the earth and buried head firat deep in a snow bank. Although he was badly shaken up the snow broke his fall. The kite, when last seen, was headed for the forests of Aroostook. “Thank you, sir,’ but the girl con- All Sorts of Wonders Have Happened} tinued to weep. to a Little American Girl Who Re-|_ “Has anyone been rude to you,” he asked, while a stern look came in- ceived a Legacy For Her Kindness | ¢, pig eyes. to an Aged Millionaire. “No, wut; yours is the first face I Sein the ew Yak Ai. have seen since leaving the high- way.

ALFRED BROWN, A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says: “After the Use of Paine’s Celery Compound, I Am Now in the Best of Health.” The greatest .of modern..physicians,.Prof, Edward E, Phelps, M. D., LL. D., after years of long practice and close scientific study, gave to suffering and diseased men and women his marvelous, life giving prescription, with the conviction and positive knowledge that it had peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure. Thousands of the strongest testimonials from the best known and most reliable men and women of our country fully sustain the claims made by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompar- 4 able Paine’s Celery Compound. One of the most convincing proofs furnished, comes recently from a gentleman widely known in the capital city of the Dominion of Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, 91 O’Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown’s letter fully demonstrates the fact that the greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden — of disease and become well, strong, and happy. It proves, too, that the great medicine main- tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled place in the estimation of people of wealth and social standing as well as with the masses. Mr. Brown says:— “IT acknowledge with thankfulness and pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a very painful illness of eight years’ ea by use of Paine’s Celery Compound. I had, during the years of my illness, tried almost all the advertised medicines without deriving any good results. I was also treated by several of the best doctors of this city, hoping to find that one of them, at least, would understand case, “*T was getting worse, and was told I was incurable. I was indeed in a critical condi- tion. I could not go from the house alone, as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good results came to me.
