THE London Lancet, which ought to be
a good authority, says: "Anodynes, mar.
cotics, cough mixtures and lozenges are
practically of no good, and but TOO often
increase the debility and hasten the fatal
end. The best method of easing cough
is to resist it with all the force of will
possible, until the accumulation Of
phlegm becomes greater, then there /;
something to cough against, and it comes
up very much easier, and with half the
coughing. A great deal of hacking and
hemmipg and coughing in invalds i:
nervous, purely nervous, or from the
force of habit, as is shown by the FIRE
quency when thinking about it, and the
comparative rarity when the person is SC
much engaged that there is no time t.
think about it, and the attention is com
PEELED in another direction"

A Lovers Ruse-A DOwry Gained b!
Stratagem.

SOME years since two wealthy bach
elors lived in the vicinity of Paris. They
had young maid-of-a ll-work named
Marie de La Pont Marie was a sweet,
pretty girl and lively and piquant in her
manners, although modest in the extreme,
and this was the reason that the two
brothers kept her in their employ. They
knew that she was frugal, economical
and dressed in the most moderate man
ner imaginable One day Marie sur
prised her employers by informing them
that young artisan resdingin Paris had
asked her hand. They strove to dissuade
her from accepting the offer of marriage,
but she told them that she could not be
happy unless she became the wife of her
dear Henri So it was arranged that she
should quit the service of the TWO broth
ers at the end of the coming month.
One day during this interval the two
brothers sold some valuable real estate
which they owned Jointly, and the sum
realized amounted to 1906, 600 francs. 1t
was all in bills on the Bank of France,
and was paid too late for deposit the
same afternoon.
Nigh came, and as the old bachelors
seldom had such q large sum in the
house they were considerably concerned
lest robbers should attempt to rob them.
Their fears were strengthened by the
numerous burglaries that had recently
taken place in that vicinity.
The residence of the old men Wa
some distance from the nam road, and
stood near the River Seine. 1t was a
lonely, gloomy location, and on the night
in question the winds swept through the
tall larchcs surrounding the mansion
with doleful and moaning cadence.
About midnight the old men retired
but scarcely had they fallen to sleep
when Marie raped at their door and in
formed them that robbers were at work
below
Both the bachelors were terribly
frightened, and when one commenced to
bar the door the other began removing a
tile from the hearth to hide the bills.
You have a gun" said Marie; take
il and shoot the villains.
But the two trembling men paid no
heed to her advice.
Cowards." said the brave girl, scorn-
fully. Il wish that l were man for
i've minutes"
Just then there came heavy crash
from the apartments below.
The brothers crept beneath the bed,
where they shivered and cringed, unable
TO speak from terror.
We shall all be murdered in our
BEDS said the girl. We viii be found
by the police in the morning with our
Threats cut from ear to ear. Peste'
fools, give ne the gun.
She seized the double-barreied gun
that laid upon the shelf and started down.
stairs. while the two frightened men
watched her without saying a word.
Presently, bang went the gun. and
groan was heard. Bang went the sec.
oud barrel, and a screeCh of pain re.
sounded through the house that caused
the blood of the brothers 70 ran cold.
4 brief pause ensued. and then Marie
came tripping up stairs, but her tace
wore a determined, dissatisfied look.
She asked Tor powder and ball to reload,
which were furnished, but, before she I'm
ished loading, footsteps were heard re-
treating from the house.
No one slept in the house that night,
nor were they again molested. But at
