Dainty Porttaitnra

W`hat can be nicer for a

Holiday Gift than a daintily executed Portrait Z

What more lasting 2

A few dollars will get you a

dozen Portraits, which can be distributed among a dozen friends, giving more pleasure for the money than anything else obtainable.

In the larger sizes we have

the Duchess, Panel or the Re- gina for $5, the dozen.

Then we have the dainty

little Corona and the popular Karillo, at $3, the dozen.

Our new Panel at $2.50 the

dozen, is bound to be popular with those who do not care for - a large Portrait.

These are ovals, squares or

:;_p_aacfs, according to desire, and at the prices are about the price of Christmas Cards.

Which would give your

friends the most pleasure-- your Portrait daintilytinished oraChristmas Card?

And they cost about the Blnle. ‘

cover the eiitire period since the union of the Provinces the years in which Lord Dufferin was Governor will appear in briliant relief. Even at that time, 1872-9, Lord Duiexin was no longer young. He

`was born at Florence in 1826. He had

_previously distinguished himself as a

writer of books and pamphlets. He was abundantly successful in pleasing the: Canadian people and afterwards rose rapidly until he was accredited as one of the great men and foremost diplomatists of the Empire. He was Ambassador to

Russia in 1879-81; to Constantinople in 1831-4; Governor General of India. 1834-8; Ambassador to Italy 1835 91 and afterward Ambassador to France. While he thus

tlllcd in succession so many of the highest posts in the outside service of the Empire the Canadian people watched his brilliant

career with affectionate pride, almost as if Lord Dufferin was one of themselves, and he ever retained a kindly interest in the Dominion and its people.

lt was thcreforc a matter of sorrowful

interest in Canada when it was learned a

year ago that Lord DuH`.:rin`s eldest son

~ ‘was killed in action in Ladysmith a

year ago. Quite recently another son was

dangerously wounded in the Boer war, and ,just at thc time when the stricken

father and mother were setting out to visit him in that distant land came the

collapse of a great mlniiig company of whizh Lord Dufferin was the head, and carried down with it a dozen or more

related mining and dnancinl concerns. The cable reports attach no blame to him in the matter, but there had been in thc past considerable discussion in the British press as to the propriety of titled persons lending their names for the

presidency or directorates of financial

ventures of which they could have no very intimate knowledge.

In this case the company in question had purchased what was thought to be an exceedingly valuable mining property' at Cripple Creek, Colorado. The purchase

was made apparently after a very thorough and complete investigation, but in the work of development afterward the president and directors appear to have

been grossly deceived by false reports, the

result being that the venture ended in

Widespread disaster. It is regrettable that Lord Dulferin should have been in any

way connected with this collapse. His great and brilliant talents were not in the line of industrial or financial affairs. None the less the incident must further tend to

cloud the olicl age of Lord and Lady

Dufl`erin,at a time when they are still 'suffering from a severe family _ breavement, and the gravest concern for a wounded son.\Ve trust that the shadow

may pass away and that their closing

years may partake in goodly measure oi the happiness they gave and enjoyed while as the head of affairs in Canada.

_ (From The Lardeau Eagleli

If there is one man in the east doing

odlce, are the means used by this

capital under Canadian management, a »-brilliant idea if it materializes; as "past

Mr. Welch has had many difficulties t contend with, but his chances for success

encouraging. Already he

and money to this portion of the province in fact Mr. VVelsh has had just about enough experience in this camp to profit by in the future. That he may succeed to the fullest extent is the Eagle-'s desire, as what benefits any indi-vidual or /mining company in this district helps the community in genera1.And a little help in _securing capitalto develope Lardeau’s

ation of the war, the London Daily Tele- graph has again despatched Mr. Bennett Burleigh, its famous war, correspondent to South Africa.

It is something be-

sides bacl air that makes a woman faint in a. close theatre. A

‘ well woman wou1dn’t faint. The woman who easily grows, faint and_,dizzy-who has palpitation of the heart-a ,“stuB`y” feeling -- hot flushes - nervous troubles, better look for the cause in her digestive system or in the distinctly feminine organism -maybe

in both.

Women who are not quite

well and don’t know just , what is the matter, and

women who are really sick and don’t know exactly

w h a t i s t h e matter should write at once to Dr. R. V. Pierce, wt /f at Buffalo, N.Y., *ll

stating their symptoms in de- tail. They will bc advise d by Dr. Pierce with-

out charge. ' _

Dr. Pierce is, /

a ri d f 0 r o v e r thirty years has been, chief consulting physician in the world-renowned lnvalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.

He has treated and cured more suH`f-:ring

women than any other physician in the

t world, and more of his “Favorite Prescrip-

tion,” for thc correction and cure of all dis- orders and diseas ftl fe ' `

es o ie mmmc organs,

except cancer, has been sold than of all other similar medicines. ,

V-/'rite to Dr. Pieqe. If his medicines are

what you need he will tell you so, if they are

` not what you need he will honestly say so

and will tell you what to do. Dr. Pierce’s position is a suliicient guarantee that his advice will not be biased by the hope of selling you a few bottles of medicine.

If you wislito study up your own case

Dr. Pierce will send you. free of all cost, a paper-boiind copy of his great looo-page book. the “Common Sense Medical Ad- viser,” of which over 750.000 were sold at $1.50 a copy. All that Dr. Pierce asks is that you send 31 one-cent stamps. to paythe

_ cost of customs and mailing mzly. For the

book in line French cloth send 50 stamps. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buffalo. N. Y.
