BPITE UICHJGIN TOTNG LADIES'

As the reader may well suspect. many highly
interesting occurrences bearing more or less on
Christmas are now being reported The most
important inquiry, perhaps, which has been raised
by the holiday season is what Jerry Simpson did
the night before Christmas. With no stockings

society women of Mnden City, Michigan. who
each earned a dollar for Christmas charity.
IL appears from the account which has come
over the wire that these twelve Young ladies' met

solcmny resolved each to earn the sum of one
dollar TO give to the poor on that holiday. Naturally

Governor Hills bad faith in this matter, they

THE GREAT Day or 1892.

In those days of the general diffusion of free
calendars there is no reason why any person
should be at loss to know what day Of the week
il is or should get the date wrong. Some of the
inhabitants of these United States may not own
as much real and personal estate a. they crave,
but If any of us g Though the year uncacn-
dared it certainly will be our own fault. The
phrase poor as job, turkey" has gone ont
Now. thOse who are skilled in constructing
lorcible comparisons say, Poor as a man who
hasn't gOt a calendar"
But in regard to the calendar. If the reader
will investigate his own for 1892 he will find
that Monday is to be the great day Of this year
by large majority. The poet Henry Carey
regarded sunday as the best day Of The week
singing
OF all the days that's in the week
dearly love but ONE day,
And that's the day that betwiXt
saturday and Monday
Everybody agrees with Carey, 80 Sunday, Of
course, will continue to be the best day Of the
week. But Monday, as We have remarked, will

rowly escaped one of the severest at
tacks of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of the state during q recent
blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr;
Blaize had occasion to drive several
miles during the storm and was so thor
oughly chilled that he was unable to
get warm, and inside of hour after
his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug
store and got bottle Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number OF large doses,
He says the effect was wonderful and
that in short time he was breathing
quite easily. He kept on taking the
medicine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize regards
his cure as simply wonderful. 80 cent
