What is a Model Wife.

A model wife is the woman in
whom the heart of her husband doth
safely trust.
She is the woman who looks after
MS household, and makes her hos
pitality delight to him, and not a
burden.
Who has learned that a soft an
swer will turn away wrath.
Who keeps her sweetest smiles
and most loving words for her hus-
band.
Who is his conidant in sorrow or
in joy, and who does not feel the
necessity of explaining her private
affairs to the neighborhood.
Who respects the rights of hus-
band and children, and in return has
due regard paid to her.
Who knows that the strongest ar
gument is her womanliness and so
she cultivates it.
Who is sympathetic in joy, or in
grief, and who finds work for her
hands to do.
Who makes friends and keeps
them
Who is not made bitter by trouble
but who strengthens and sweet
ems under it.
Who tries to conceal the faults of
her husband rather than blazon them
forth to an uninterested public.
The woman whose life-book has
love written on every page.
Who makes a home for mana
home in house and in a heart A
home that he is sure of, home that
is full of love presided over by one
whose price is above rubies.
She is the model wife.-LadIeS

Are You Interested ?

Perhaps the readers OF the TELE-
GRAPH COURIER would like to know in
what respect Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better than any other. We
will tell you. When this Remedy is
taken as directed, as soon as cold has
been contracted, and before it has be-
come settled in the system, it will
counterfeit the etievl Of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not effect
ually cure tie cold in two days time
and it is the only remedy that will do
his. 1t acts in perfect harmony with
nature and aids nature in relieving the
lungs, opening the secretons, liquefying
the mucus and causing it's expulsion
from the air cells Of the lungs and re-
storing the system to a strong and
healthy condition. No other remedy
in the market possesses these remark
able properties. No other will cure a
cold as quickly or leave the system in
as sound a condition. so cent and ST.

Sup. Hale brought before the

to the County Judge for expenses
incurred by him for clerk hire during
the past year. That the laws of the
State passed giving the County
Courts concurrent jurisdiction OF
certain matters had increased the
duties and labor Of the County court
without making any provisions for
compensation for additional services
required, and that in his judgment
relief should be granted at least to
extent of expenses incurred BY the
Judge, and therefore he moved that
committee Of three be appointed to

Some of the remarks are more emphatic than pious.
