During our epidemic of dysentery,

ties of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and it proved
satisfactory in every instance. The
remedy is standard in this commu-

occurred in Iowa. Over 40 persons
died from it, in town of only 800 in
habitants; but every case in which
this remedy was used, recovered. 1t
was equally successful during the ep.
idemic of bloody flux in Virginia, in
1887, and in Michigan and Southern
Illinois, in 1888. 1t has been in constant
use for over eighteen years, and has
proved itself to be the most successful

She Obeyed Faithfully.

A certain theatrical manager OF New
England, though well known throughout
the country as q man who had very great
success in his business and is admitted to
be ore of the shrewdest men in his profes,
sion. has none the less had more stories
told about him, ard most of them at his
expense, than any other impresariC in ttfS
country. As theatrical Mr.. Malaprop he
is without peer.
Still, here IS new story on him which
simply indicates the shrewdness of the ma Il
and remarkably faithful though not "
intelligent carrying out of definite instShc-
lions. Our manager had a new company
on the road, and on sending it out he in
structed his hustling young manager TO
telegraph him the receipts nightly at each
place where stop was made, and in so do
ing to be sure to add the sum of 500 to
the actual receipts.
The young man carefully followed his
instructions, and his employer would
proudly display the kilograms received in
the lobby of his own theatre, much to tine
envy of his rivals in the road business One
night the telegram came in, 'Blankville,
Kan, receipts, $50" The next night came
another, ''Townville, receipts, $500" These
were large figures for that part of the
country. and men who read were amazed.
The following night came dispatch even
more amazing: Durham, owing to rail-
road accident, there was no performance
Receipts, 500"
The young man had been faithful to the
last about that added 500, but the telegram
staggered even his employer New York

Talleyrand,s Estimate of Napoleon.

In the year 1907, when the emperor had
conquered, one after the other, Austria,
Prussia and Russia, and held the whole
destiny of Europe in his hands, what a
grand and magnificent role might he not
have played!
Napoleon is the first and only power that
could have given to Europe a real balance,
goal which for centuries she had tried in
vain 10 reach, and from which she IS now
more than ever distant.
For this he only needed, first, to urge
Italy to unite, by giving it the house OF
Bavaria; secondly, to divide Germany be-
tween the house of Austria, which would
stretch TO the mouth of the Danube, and
The house OF Brandenburg, whIch could
have been strengthened, and, thirdly. to
reawaken Poland by giving it 10 the house
OF SaXopy.
With q true balance of power Napoleon
might have given Europe an organization
in accord with the moral law. A true bal
ance would have made war almost impoS
sihle. An appropriate organization would
have brought 10 each people the highest
civilization of which it was capable.
Napoleon could have done these things,
and he did not do them. Ii he had done
:aem, he would have had everywhere stat
les to mark the gratitude OF the people;
every nation would have bewailcd his
death. Instead, he prepared the way for
the state of affairs which we now see, and
brought upon US the dangers which threat
en- us from the Orient. IL is by these re-
suits that he ought to be, and will he,
judged. Posterity will say of him: This
man had great intellectual force, but he
did not know what true glory meant. His
moral power was slight, almost absent.
He could not bear success with moderation
or misfortune with dignity: thus the moral
force which he lacked was the undoing OF
all Europe, and himself as well
Placed as l was for so many years in the
midst of his plans and in the very crater,
so to speak, OF his politics, and an eye wit
ness to what was done or plotted against
him. it did not require great astuteness to-
see that the countries recently subdued TO
his rule, ali these new principalities Great
cd for and placed under the dominion of
MS own family, would be the first to strike
the blow ct his power.-Teileyrand' Me

With sigh he closed the book over

which was encountered also with shin y

His countenance lacked the patrician
cast, and the pallor of his cheeks might

For an ancestor, and be has not found

ruent? Why, they come here nearly every
day and in considerable numbers TO look
for lost ancestors. Sometimes they find
them-that is, some Of them find their an
cestors, but the chaps like him never do.
suppose it is because they never had any.
Oh, no, of course this is not a repository
for collection of forefathers,' the gentle
man hastily added as he observed the re-
porter's gaze wandering among the piles
Of volumes that fill every nook and corner
of the place.
They come here to look up the records.
You see we have no peerage,' upon whose
pages are emblazoned the names of the

It's little more than that now. In some
sections it dates from the Mayfower. But

That's what this young man was looking
for. He has wearied himself for many
hours looking over the records of the Rev

Since the establishment of the Sons of
the Revolution many Young men have
been seized with desire to hunt up revo-
lutionary ancestors. And the mania is not
confined to men; with the women IL is per
haps stronger, for the Daughters of the
Revolution are prouder than the sons.

One of the Elder Booths Good Deeds

Here is story that illustrates the unos-
tentatious beneyolence Of Junius Brutus
Booth, whom his son Edwin much reselu-
bles in that particular, as IN mis- personality
and genius:
An old retired actor and manager in Bal
timore had been i'll for some time, ana, as
he was held in high esteem, his frieuLs ar
ranged for him q complimentary Jesti-
monial at the Holiday street theatre. Mr..
Booth was at that time manager OF an
other theatre and, unsolicited, rendered i
benefit ct his establishment to the same
gentlemen. Booth himself acted, and OF
course the house was crowded.
After the performance he went to the boz,
Office, collected the entire receipts, and late
as it was took them to the house of the
beneficiary, and, spreading the money out
upon the table, said TO him, There is your
share"
But will you not deduct the expenses 80
asked his old friend.
The only expense incurred, b" said Booth,
"has been the bringing of the money to
-oI; bat as / walked the cost is merely shoe
leather, and will not charge for that"
So saving he turned on his heel and left
the room before he could be thanked De

4 rather handsome, middle-aged woman.
well dressed, was placed behind the bars
in the county Jail yesterday on the
charge of being insade. She walked
into Taylor's store and quietly announced
she had bought the entire outfit and de-
manded the keys. She was firm in the be-
lief that she was the lawful owner of that
emporium of trade and for time was
monarch OF all she surveyed Finally
a clerk called upon two officers who hap
pened to be passing, dressed in citizens
clothes. and upon pretense of being taken
to see Mr.. Taylor. she was induced to enter
q cab and was driven TO the county Jail
Here it was learned she passed by the
name of Sarah Finley, but as to who
she is, where she resides or where her
friends may be found the officers are
ignorant. II is thought the woman is
laboring under temporary attack of in
sanity. though it may prove TO be an incur
able case.
