To A CoreHER. You do not need
to cough near as much as you do.
You encourage your cough to cough.
You mako no effort Whatever In your

the result is more cough. II you
would resist il for only two seconds,
you would 10 little while be able to
keep IL off for four and then for
eight, and get rid OF the whole thing
much sooner.

mine OF Is " TO rule me and keep me
coughing like cast-horse,' and you
will be surprised before the day is
over to see how little coughing you
will do.
But you don't fight off your cough
at all. On the contrary, you nurse
It. lis q tramp, and when II comes
to the door Of your throat, knocking
with its vexatious irritation, you give
way 10 Il. open the door. and let It
have its own way. And then those
dreadful noises you make way down
In your throat. Does il ever occur 70
you that they are not harmonious 10
those about your You convey an
impression that you ase trying TO
turn yourself inside out, with but
poor success. Nov, you are not re-

THE DATE OF THE DECLARATION.
Prof. ]. B. McMaster, the Historian, on That
Grand Document.

Grand Document.
Philadelphia Press.J
Prof John B. McMaster the historian,
was asked last night for his views of the
letter Of Thomas Mexican that was read by
ex-Secretary Bayard at the unveiling of the
monument to Caesar Rodney Wednesday.
Mr.. .McMaster said: '"There is nothing in the
letter that twas not already known. 1t is we'll
known that the Declaration of Independ-
ence was adopted July and was read to
the public from the State House steps July
4, and so became a public document. 1t
was not at that time signed by all the colo
nial delegates, for the reason, among others,
that several of them were waiting for clearer
instructions from their respective colonies.
1t was signed after these instructions had
been given.
1.-The secret journals of the Continental
Congress have quite all been published in
fragments. What remains of them are on
deposit in the State Department at Wash
ington, and their contents are we'll known.
1t seems to me that Congress ought to make
an appropriation to have them all printed,
together with letters and other manuscripts
throwing additional light on the subject.
The journals are now, of course, necessarily
imperfect. The gessions of the Congress
were private. Nobody was admitted except
members, unless by leave, and only record
of proceedings was made that would be safe.
The journals were also partly burned wher
the British were in Washington in 1914.
and afterWard by fire.

magistrate Who Was willing to Decide
Any Way.
New York suu.1
u was practicing law in town just
across the Ohio river" said the Kentuckian
in the party. "There was a country Judge
nearby who used to hold court in his parlor
in. the winter, and on the lawn in front Of
his house in the shade of big oak tree in
the summer. An arm chair tilted back
against the tree was the seat of justice, and
a weather beaten board lying across the tops
of two whisky barrels answered for the
bench. Attorneys, plaintiff, defendant and
witnesses sat or stood Immediately in front,
and surrounding them in circle were the
curiously inclined. The case before the
Judge on the occasion Ihave referred to was
a horse case-Stokes versus Billings. The
plaintiff stated his side of the case and was
about to call witness
4" I d'shide TO- tn plaintiff, hiccoughed
the Judge, who was almost stupid with
drink
" But. sir, you have not heard the de-
tendant's side of the case at all, said the
opposing attorney. My client has strong
case, sir, and he proceeded to elucidate it.
L d'shide TO tn d'fendsnt, the Judge
interrupted.
"ThiS brought the plaintiffs attorney to
his feet You have heard no witnesses yet,
Your Honor and he went on to tell what
he should prove by some of his leading
'swearers, as they are termed in Kentucky.
"The Magistrate was again convinced
I'll change my d'shisun,' he said. T'll
d'shide fo' tn plaintiff"
''This sort of thing went on for some time,
until finally the effect of the Judges pota-
tions Overcame him altogether. His head
fell forward on the bench, and he couldn't
be shaken back into sensibility. 1t hap
pened to be the plaintiffs inning, and the
lawyer, placing pen in the Judges hand,
guided it so that the decision was written in
the Judges book of record. 1t stood, too"

How Marrying Second Time is Looked
Upen By Some Men.
New York SUM-
A well-known business man remarked
yesterday that John Jacob Astor and Sec
retary Bayard probably had reasons of their
own for marrying which the papers did not
fttingly represent.
"My brother was married twice" he said,
"and though he aroused some comment by
his second marriage, it was in reality the
only course open to him. He had two large
country houses on his hands and family of
children, three of whom were girls Just bud
ding into womanhood. He is absorbed in
affairs, and has little time to devote to his
family. With him a wife was part of his
large domestic establishment. 1 say this
without in any way meaning to speak in
derogatory way of her. 1t was a simple
matter of absolute necessity for him to have
some one to look after his house, and par
ticularly to direct the social course of his
children.
"Mr. Astor is in some sense similarly
placed. He has every thing on earth to
make life enjoyable except the personal
companionship which every man naturally
longs for, and he appreciates the wisdom,
just as Mr.. Baysrd does, of having an ac-
complished and experienced wife to preside
over that part Of his life which is not con-
nected with banks, politics or affairs"

Aeke bIushed to his temples.
As the Thanksgiving mystery had been
solved in such happy manner, the dinner
which followed was the most enjoyable one
ever discussed under Enos Pemberton's
roof.
It was observed that Zeke blnshed again
when Patty passed the .nince pies, and
when Mr.. Pemberton said 'More turkey,
zeke?" he stammered and looked at Phillips.
1t turned out that the young merchants
real guest was Miss Molly, and before the
Thanksgiving dinner had digested the day
for double wedding had been set, and
when it came one of the brides was "Old
Pemberton's girl"

''Do you ever receive contributions writ
ten on both sides of the paper?" asked a
gentleman, entering newspaper Office.
''NO, sir; never, 7" emphstically replied the
editor. "All right; was going to indorse
this check to your order, but I don't want
you to break your rules" Then he went
out, leaving the editor in a deep-green
study,
