That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in a while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh,
and as catarrh is a constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to
hit the spot What You need is a consti-
tutional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many people who haze taken this. med
icine for scrofula, dyspepsia, losss of APP
petite, and other troubles. have been sur
prised that it should cure this trouble
some cough. But to know the actual
cause of the cough is TO solve the mys-
terry. Many cases Of consumption can
be traced back TO the neglect of some
such slight affection as this. Consump-
ton can be controlled in its early stages,
and the effect of Hoods Ssrsaparilla in
purifying the blood, building up the gen
eral health, and expeiliDg the scrofulous
taint which is the cause of catarrh and
consumption, has restored to perfect
health many persons on whom this
dreaded disease seemed to have firm
hold

Just In Time.

A western photographer was sitting in
his reception room one duh day in mid
winter, when a tired-looking, hollow
eyed woman slowly and timidly entered,
with the air of one unaccustomed to any
thing but the hardships of life. Her
clothing was thin and old, and she held
close to her breast baby wrapped in a
shawl.
81 come to see if--if-" she stopped,
With one hand still on the knob of the
door, and her eyes downcast.
ITO see if srhaff" asked the artist
"To see if you'd take my baby's pho
tograft- / aint got any money to pay for
if, but / thought maybe you'd let me
scrub and clean up your room, and pay
for it in that way. I'd be so glad if you
would" The baby set up feeble cry at
that moment, and after his mother had
quieted him she said
"You see he don't cry ike well baby;
be amt never been strong; none Of my
babies are. I've buried four and l amt
got no picture of any Of 'em. 1t would
be real comfort TO me ifI had. And

you'd say was right
Unaccustomed as she wss to kindness
the artist could hardly make her under
stand that he would take the baby's pict-
ure for nothing, and she left the room
with tears in her eyes.
when she retnrnedfor the completed
photograph, two weeks later, she came
alone. A strip of dingy Grape dangled
from her old bonnet What her moth

A silence more solemn than death fell
on the old farmhouse. Aunt Sarah sunk
beneath the blow into feeble second
childhood, and the old capain grew mo-
rose and sullen.
Syria alone bore the blow bravely
Fair and white as a pearl, she moved
about with sealed lips and solemn eyes,
taking all the heavy household cares
upon her slender shoulders and working
from dawn till twilight. Then when the
hush of night brooded over the great sea
she took her soul recreation. Gliding
down to the beach, she would Chamber

for an hour looking out to sea, with her
poor eyes full Of piteous expression.

At last there came an afternoon black
with portentious omens.
Il never see sieh signs as these at the

The old fisherman was correct about

There's warmth here-indeed there is

save him."
"Do as she bids you, said the old man;
and the men obeyed.
'Tis he-your son Harry Don't you

cried.
And they did. By and by a faint
warmth diffused itself over his body
dim red shone in his pale cheeks, and
he murmured, just above his breath

Syria heard him, and without word
or sigh dropped in dead faint at his
feet
In few days he entirely recovered

"KissIng Mother"
A father talking to his careless daught-

A father talking to his careless danght-
er said:
Il want to speak to you Of your moth
er. 1t may be you have noticed q care
worn look upon her face lately. OF
course it has not been brought there by
any act of yours, still it is your duty to
chase il away. want you TO get up to-
morrow morning to breakfast and when
your mother comes and begins 10 express
her surprise, 90 right up TO her and kiss
her right on the mouth. You can't
imagine how much it will brighten her
dear face.
Besides You owe her kiss or two
Away back when you were 8 little girl,
she kissed you when no one else was
tempted by your fever tainted breath
and swollen face. You were not 50 at
tractive as you are now. And through
those years of childish sunshine and
shadows, she was always ready to cure
by the magic of mothers kiss, the little
chubby, dirty hands, whenever they
were injured in those frst skirmishes
with the rough, old world.
"And those midnight kisses with which
she leaned above your restless pillow,
have all been al interest these long, long
years.
"Of course she is not 50 pretty and
kissable as you are but if you had done
your share of the work during the past
ten years perhaps the contrast would not
have been so marked.
"Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, and yet, if you were sick, that face
would appear far more beautiful than an
angels as 1t hovered over you, watching
every opportunity TO minister to your
comfort, and every one Of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets Of sun
shine chasing each other over her dear
face.
"she will leave you one day. These
burdens if not lifted fr,m her shoulders
will break her down. Those rough, hard
hands, that have done so many necessa-
ry things for you will be crossed upon
her lifelcss breast.
Those neglected lips that gave you
your first baby kiss viii be forever clos
ed, and those sad, tired eyes viii have
opened in eternity, and then you viii ap-
preeiate your mother; but then il win be
too late"

At LIncoIn's Tomb.

SPRINGFIELD. LII, october Ill Inc IAN
American excursion arrived here to day.
After lunch the parry went to Lincoln's tomb
IN Oak Ridge Cemetery. There was among
the southern delegates a spirit almost Of rev
erence as they ascended the steps to the ter
race about the shaft. As was remarked by
one of the southern delegates. Lincoln's
tomb seemed TO him like Mecca. and the
present pilgrimage could not have been COM
pleie without having led fhither. As with
a common impulse heads were barred as the
party walked about the monument
AT length the party was gathered at the
front Of the monument upon a spot upon
which the statue Of lincoln bent IFS gaze,
and Senator Cullom introduced ex Governor
Richard J. Ogiesby. who said the visitors
might be indulgent toward the people Of II
linois for giving expression upon almost all
occasions to their deep sense Of admiration
and love for the great patriot. the great
emancipaior whose memory they honored
to-day.
While Governor Ogiesby wss speaking
Of Lincolns life, Boiet Peraza, VII, was to
respond, stood within reach Of his hand,
and frequently his face paled and his eyes
were dimmed by emotion aIonsed. ard when
the ex Governor fervently asked, why
should we not be friends ~ SignOr Peraza
aud others lifted their faces with expressions
OF approval and applzujed warmly. General
Bolet Peraza is a son-in-law Of General Jose
Gregorio Monagas. who was President of
Venezuela in 1884 and made the slaves free
at that time, and this fact was stated by
Senator C,illom, who introduced him to the
audience. General Pezara said.
Gentlemen. do not be surprised by the
contrast which my colleagues present to you
at this solemn occasion in selecting the
humblest orator to praise the greatest man
of your country in the present century.
They have not sought the merits Of elO-
quence, but the circumstances Of opportuni-
ty They have excused my Deficiencies and
only thought Of my family associations with
one of the liberated of our America. who,
like you here. made slaves free and deserved
the glory of martyriom. II is not. then. my
voice which speaks at this moment Il Is

your great man the immortality bestowed

to this tomb. which contains nothing bni

coin belongs to death, as ais real mausoleum
Is in the heart Of men. Our visit 10 this sa-
cred monument is not a mere individual
tribute, but a significant pilgrimage Of SOW
ereign sister nalfous. which come here in
the name Of liberty, equality and fraternity,
to satisfy their firm purpose Of continuing
the work of this great Northern leveler,
unifying the interests Of the entire America
and consolidating her aspirations TO the fa-
ture. tearing down the traditional walls
which rise in the natural way Of her indus
trial couveniences. leaving standing only the
frontiers Of the respective sovereignties built
