Coughing

rs Natures effort TO expel foreign SUBJ

Frequently, this causes inflammation
and the need Of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne is equal to

Nature in ejccting the mucus, allays
irritation, induces repose, and is the
most popular Of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before the
public for the cure of colds, coughs
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my expert:
ence, so reliable as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral. For years was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, was adj
vised to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral and
to lay all other remedies aside. / did
so, and within week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then / have
always kept this preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure"
Mrs. L. l.. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
"a few years ago took severe cold
which affected my lungs. had ter

The Potomac woman's Relief Corps
The regular semi-monthiy meeting Of tho
Potomac Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary
to the G.. A. r. department, was largely at
tended lust evening. A large number Of
applications for membership were received
and four new members elected. The new
vice-president, Mrs. Frances Burger, Com
ductor Mrs. Mary NJ. Paige, and her assist
ant, Mrs Mary Eldridge, were installed by
Past Department Commander j. B. Burke.
The annual report of the executive com
mittee showed that $1,000 had been raised
by the corps in the past year. During the
year $3.50 was contributed voluntarily for
such expenses as were not strictly neces-
sary or for relief purposes. Among these
were floral saddle sent to the tomb of
General Sheridan; a hospital tent presented
to Mrs. Clara Barton; $1,000 in money and
$4,000 in clothes were sent to the Johns
town sufferers. Over $3.50 was cleared at

contributed their services, and to the busf-

stampede Caused by Runaway.

A horse attached to a light buggy ran
away from I'm front of the Fendall building
on Louisiana avenue this morning. He
galloped down the Avenue past Police
Headquarters, the front wheel smashing
itself against the iron ratings of the stair
way and tearing them from their fastcn-
ings. The buggy was overturned aud
smashed to fragments. The horse was the
property Of John I. Crowley of 1927 l.

He wanted a Drink Badly.

a couple of months ago William Har-
iison was paid his salary and went on Il
protracted spree. He soon got rid of
his money, and after the saloons of the
city had closed he walked about look
ing through the windows, stopping now
and then TO look longingly at the long
rows of bottles inside. He wandered
back to the saloon where he had spent
most Of his money. lie tried the front
door and found il closed. But he knew
the building well, and went around in
the alley and entered it by the back
door He didn't go to the money
drawer but supplied himself with
whisky and put bundle of cigarettes
in his pocket.
This morning in the Criminal Court
he admitted all this, and pleaded guilty
to the charge of housebreaking. The
District Attorney said he had no desire
to prosecute, and suggested that the
case be dismissed. Chief Justice Bing-
ham doubted that he had the power 10
dismiss the case without trial, and said
that the better plan would be to enter n

cidcd on Saturday.

THE WEDDING RING.

The transition of the custom of using a
ring at marriages from barbarism and
paganism into the Christian Church was
quite as easy as the adoption of the forms
of pagan worship. 1t was probably taken
from the pagans of Italy as a part of the
marriage ceremony. When the public
betrothal finally became nearly obsolete,
its evidence became the engagement ring,
now used universally, while the use of a
ring at weddings is now peculiar to GER
tain church organizations.
The position OF the ring on the hand
has long been a matter of difference. In
early times, by classical ancients, the be-
trothal ring was placed on the left hand,
on the finger next the least, under the
impression that that particular finger was
more closely connected to the heart than
the others. In early English marriages
the Salisbury Manual" provided that
the bride groom was to receive the ring
from the priest with the three principal
fingers of his right hand; then, holding
the right hand of the bride with his own
left hand, he was to say, Z" With this ring
I thee wed"
He then placed the ring on her right
thumb and said: "In the name of the
Father" then on the second finger and
said, and Son." then on the third finger
and said, land Holy Ghost" and finally
on the fourth finger and said, "Amen,"
where it remained. Wearing the we'd
ding ring on the thumb was not uncom-
mon during the reign of the first and Sec
ond Georges, in which position it is seen
in contemporary portraits.
In the English Church the use of a
ring at a wedding ceremony is essential,
it being required by the rubric. The
kind, size or quality of the ring is not
stipulated, and there are on record mar
riages in England in which bed-curtain
rings, church keys, and even a ring cut
t~ransversely from a finger of a kid glove
have been used. So far as u inveStiga-
ton has entered into these curious but
interesting facts we do not remember to
have seen any case in which the ring of
a church bell was used.-J K. AUen, IN
the JeweleT.

E OWN ARTIST.

Artists sometimes have amusing expe-
riences with some of their patrons who
have no knowledge of the art a 6 no love
for it, and who buy pictures simply be-
cause other people have them.
One OF the best known Eastern artists
says that he was once visited in his studio
by a showy-dressed and loud-voiced Wo-
man, who said: "You give lessons in
painting, don't your"
The artist said that he did, when the
visitor, seating herself for further con-
ference, explained herself thus:
"Well, I'll tell you what 1 want. Ny
husband is building a big, new house, and
we haven't half enough pictures in it, and
you artists ask such outla1dish prices for
your pictures that I thought as I've got
plenty of time and nothing else to do,
that I'd lean how to paint my own pic
lures. l used to draw well when 1 was
a girl"
Another artist says that while in Vienna
he was once waited upon by a woman
who said she wanted three paintings for
her parlor.
81 am not particular about the subjects,
but / want them to be about two by
three feet in size, and they'd better have
a good deal Of red in them, because, you
see, that's going to be the leading color
in the carpet and furniture, and the pic
lures ought to match the rest of the fur
niture. - Chicago Tribune.

HINTS TO -HoUsEKEEPERs.

Equal parts of ammonia and %turpentine
will take paint out of clothing, even if it
be hard and dry. Saturate the spot as
often as necessary, and wash out / n soap
lds.
Biscuits can be warmed to be as good
& when just baked by placing them in
ne oven dry, covered closely with a tin.
It's a great improvement over the old
way of wetting them.
Put dishes, tumblers and other glass ar
aces into a kettle, cover them entirely
WITH cold water, and put the kettle where
i will soon boil. When ithas boiled a
lew minutes, set it aside covered close.
When the water is cold take out the glass.
ms process will harden the articles so
mat they will not be so easily broken.

Fish gridirons should be secured with
Sath-brick powder or whiting every time
eAey are used, in order to keep them per-
SS5ly smooth and clean; otherwise they
VIII torment the cook by sticking and
caring the fish. When there is no special
ash- gridiron, the ordinary broiler must be
@oured smooth and clean, both before
sa6 after using it, to prevent sticking,
ana destroy any remaining odor or favor
winch the fish might communicate to
neat or poultry broiled upon it.

THOUGHT ONLY OF MAMMA.

On one of the wettest days of last
week a countryman, who might have
been taken for a prosperous farmer or a
successful miner, was walking along Mar
ket street, in the rain, when he noticed a
little girl in front of him, says the San
Francisco EDaminer. Her clothing was
shabby and thin, and her shoes were al
most ready to drop from her poor little
wet feet. Touched by the sight, the
bluff old fellow stepped up to her and
asked her to accompany him into a shoe
store just at hand, and directed the
salesman to fit the child out with a good,
substantial pair of shoes. After trying
on several pairs, all of which appeared to
fit very well, the old gentleman said to
her, pointing to the pair she had on:
" What's the matter with those. Amt
they easy? Hesitating a moment, the
child looked up and said: "Oh, yes, sir;
they are very comfortable, but please, sir,
won't you buy them big enough for
mammal"

SHE WANTED TO BE PREPARED

A neatly dressed, nervy looking woman
went into an undertaker's shop on Gratiot
avenue and asked to see some plain
wooden collins, says the Detroit Free
Press.
~ want something Stylish" she said,
" but not costly. Ny husbands sickness
has cost us so much that there amt
money enough to put on style with, but
I want his folks to see I've done right by
him"
: The undertaken showed her several
different styles and then asked her if she
had brought any measures with her. She
said she had not.
81 can send them along with the order"
she said. "I think I'll take this black
walnut. All our furniture is black walnut,
and he always liked that wood the best.
How much do you want paid down"
"When did your husband die? ?" in
quired tn" undertaken.
ooh, he amt died yet. But the doc
tors have given him up, and I got a chance
to slip out for a little fresh air, and 1
thought I'd look at styles and prices, for
when he's dead I shan't be worth shucks
to attend to business. I'm too soft
hearted"
Then she paid down S. on her new
purchase, took a receipt and went out
with the air of one who had made a salts
factory bargain.

AN WIFE.

Mrs. ". was a thrifty and practical
soul, and she came of a family which,
through all the coutry side was renowned
as being linear" In other words, she
came of a race of people who were the
reverse of generous and in herself she was,
it may be added, the flower of their quail
ties. She had an excellent husband, but
he was stricken down with typhoid-pneu-
monia and one morning the physician
in charge, announced to the weeping wife
that he could live only a few hours at
most. In her way Mrs. W., was fond of
her husband and she was greatly affected
by the verdict which announced her ap-
preaching separation from him. The
scene between her and her husband was
affecting in the extreme, and the nurse,
who was present in the background, was
moved to tears by the agonized fervor of
Mrs. WIS grief.
George" the weeping wife said at
last, "what clothes do you want to have
on When-when-"
Tears choked her u~tterance. and her
husband feebly murmured that it did not
matter to him any more how he was
arrayed.
"Then you won't mind dearest" she
said between her sobs, eff we put on your
old pants? The new ones haven't been
worn but once, and we can send them
back to the tailor, and no one will notice
what sort of pants you have on in the
cof-cof-coffn."
Dear George was too far gone either to
care what trousers were used for the ar
raging of his remains for the tomb or to
appreciate the perfection of his wife's
economy; he simply moaned and gave up
the ghost, leaving his wife free to prac,
tice any economical device which should
occur to her frugal mind in the arrange
ments which followedin doleful sequence.

ZONE TOUCH OF NATURE"

When the Georgia farmers and editors
were in Ohio, Mr.. Ben Russell, of the
cambridge Democrat, made a short speech,
in which he alluded to the fact that he
had fought at Gettysburg
A short time aft-r a lady approached
Editor Wrench, of the Dalton argus, and
with evident emotion asked him:
"Where is the member Of your party
t~hatfought at G%ettysburg?"
Editor Wrench hesitated obout pointing
Mr.. Russell out, fearing that under the
influence Of evident grief and excitement,
the lady might reproach him. Some one
else, however, pointed him out, and as
the lady started towards him Mr.. Wrench
turned away, not caring to witness what
might be a painful and embarrassing
scene. The lady reaching MI. Russell
said:
"Did yon fight at Gettysburg"
81 had that honor, madam" replied
Mr. Russell, modestly.
"My husband was killed at Gettys-
burg" said the lady, hardly able to fash
ion the words with her trembling lips.
"That battle was the occasion of great
grief, madam, to thousands of good wo-
men on both sides of the line" replied
Mr.. Russell, bowling his head.
"I just wanted to say to you"-and
here the lady's voice failed, and putting
out her hand she grasped the hand of the
Georgian, and sobbing violently held it a
moment and then turned away.
Hundreds Of men and women witnessed
the incident, but hardly one with dry
eyes. That sign of forgiveness and love
that lived through bitter loss and bereave-
ment, was more eloquent than words
could have been. That woman, God bless
her wherever she is this morning, in her
nobility contradicts the testimony of a
thousand Mrs. Canfeld's.-Atlanta Con-
StitutiOn.
