THE DRUM LAKE EASTER SERVICE. 
A story of the Michigan Pine Woods.

66 ~T~'vON’T ’e go there, Parson,” she said 
I / to him. 
“ I must, Mrs. McKelvey, it is my duty,” ho 
said gently. 
The woman looked at him curiously for an 
instant. “Did ’e h’ever see ’er before Parson?’’ 
she asked quickly. 
The minister looked her full in the face as 
he answered: “I have.” 
She understood him. 
Mr. McKelvey, unseen by his wife, had 
stepped out at the back door, and was now on 
his way to the trouble. The minister saw him 
just ahead as he walked up the street. 
It was a terrible scene they looked upon at 
last. The Drum Lakers seemed to have been 
suddenly seized with a fie of virtuous indigna¬ 
tion. Such fits are common to our northern 
civilization. I do not know whether it was 
the minister’s sermon that roused them or not, 
but they had determined to purify the place 
by removing all the objectionable characters. 
They had begun with “Sarcy Sal.” Finding 
her just after her interview with the minister, 
she was in the condition to provide great 
port. 
It was indeed a dreadful scene. A crowd of 
a dozen or more men were gathered in fro at 
of a dry-goods box on which stood the dying 
woman. Her eyes were ablaze with fever. 
The gaudy hat had fallen from the head, and 
the beautiful hair hung down over her face 
and neck. With bitter taunts, she held the 
crowd at bay, all but one man, a great, black- 
bearded fellow who stood directly in front 
and urged the rest to pull her down. 
No wonder the Parson hesitated and half 
turned back at the sight. Could that be a 
woman, and the woman he had loved so well ? 
Mr McKelvey pushed his way into the 
crowd just as the black-bearded man caught 
sight of the minister. 
“ Look here,” the ruffian cried tauntingly, 
“ here’s the parson come to see yer ?” 
The woman replied with a taunt so bitter 
that the man caught up a lump of ice and 
threw it in his anger directly at her. It 
struck her full in the face. She staggered, 
threw both hands to her head and tell from 
the box headlong into the snow. 
Two men pushed through the crowd and 
bent over her. They looked at each other as 
she lay in the snow—Jack Gray and the 
Parson. 
The black-bearded man tried to push his 
way to her side, but brave little Mr. McKelvey 
stepped in front of him. 
“ Stand back,” roared the little English¬ 
man; “ s‘and back or I’ll whip ’r all.” 
“Git out the way Bill McKelvey, jistgo an’ 
air yer voice,” and he pushed the little man 
back. 
Jack Gray was on his feet. “ Stand back, 
boys,” he shouted. “You’ve had yer fun; 
now quit. She’s bad enough, I know, but- 
she’s a woman boys arter all.” 
The majority of the men were ready to 
stop, but the black-bearded man still pressed 
forward. 
“ What’s the matter with you, Jack Gray ?• 
How long sence you bev ben Sunday School 
Superintendent ? Superintendent Gray, boys; 
crowd up 1” 
Jack’s hand went like a flash into his 
pocket. An instant more, and the barrel of 
a revolver, flashed in the black-bearded man’s 
face. There was a sh irp click as Jack coolly 
said: 
“ You bet I’m Superintendent G ray, an 1 
I’m a superintendin’ you.” 
The black-bearded man held up both hands 
and stepped away. This manner of object 
t a acbing was not to his taste at all.

* SHREWD ADVERTISERS. 
Readers of the newpapers of the day can¬ 
not fail to be impressed with the fact that the 
modern advertiser is progressive. 
He is compelled to be, else competitors more 
active in the invention of new advertising de¬ 
vices, will outstrip him in puulic favor. 
The value of printer’s ink judiciously and 
scientifically employed cannot be overestimat¬ 
ed ; it is the medium whereby a meritorious 
discovery is raised from local fame to a posi¬ 
tion in the public esteem. Hence the columns 
of the newspapers are daily used by hosts of 
advertisers aud in the competition which is 
indulged in to attain the desired end, the 
reader is oftentimes amused. 
The greatest of American advertisers, and 
it may as well be said in the world, is H. H. 
Wainer of Rochester, N. Y., whose name has 
been made everywhere familiar in connection 
with Warner’s Safe Cure, widely advertised 
because of its merit in the prevention and 
cure of kidney diseases. 
By printer’s ink, this great discovery has 
achieved world-wide popularity and thousands 
feel grateful for the knowledge thus acquired 
of this greatest of modern remedies. 
Furthermore, the public has been taught 
that disorders of the lungs, brain, heart and 
liver which have hitherto been regarded aud 
treated by the profession as distinctive dis¬ 
eases are not so in fact, but are the attending 
symptoms of disease of the kidneys; therefore, 
the consumptive, the apoplectic, paralytic, 
and the sufferer from nervous disorders can 
be restored to health by Warner’s Safe Cure, 
which will remove the true cause of those dis¬ 
orders by restoring the kidneys to healthy 
action. 
The advertising methods employed by this 
greatest of advertisers are invariably instruct¬ 
ive and, although the reader may sometimes 
be “caught” in reading an advertisement, 
which was uot at lirst supposed to be such, 
there is nevertheless no time lost since useful 
information is invariably gained concerning 
life’s great problem.

Constipation, followed by fitful diarrhoea, 
shooting pains in the breasts, drawing down 
a hing pains, burniag sensation in the small 
of the back, scanty, dark-colored fluids which 
scald in passing, and many deposits—sand, 
mucus, tube casts, aud fluids covered by a 
greasy scum ; any one of the foregoing sig¬ 
nifies advanced kidney trouble. Prof. Wm. 
H. Thompson, M. D., of the University of the 
City of New York, says : “More adults are 
carried off in this country by chroaic kidney 
disease than by any other one malady except 
consumption.” The late Dr. Dio Lewis, in 
speaking of Warner’s Safe Cure, said over his 
owq signature : “ If I found myself the vic¬ 
tim of serious kidney trouble I would use 
your preparation.”
