THE GRIPPE.

The grippe is raging like an epl-
demic. 1t has been more fatal al
ready than was the yellow fever in
the south or the cholera in the
north. It spares no Que, great or
small, except il is more likely to at
tack the weak than the strong In
fact, if person be perfectly healthy
he will escape it. The only way 80
avoid an attack is to maintain p con-
dition of perfect health, for it only
locates in the weakest organ Of the
body, whatever mat may be. When
you feel the first attack get a bottle
of Reds GERMAN CoUGH AND KID
EEY CURE and take it freely. 1t will
not harm you. IL contains no poi
son, but it will re-inyigorate your
stomach, Danish the microbes from
it, incite the kidneys to action,
soothe the innamed lung tissues
and relax the bowels. When this
has been accomplished the grippe is
conquered and there is no further
trouble. There is no danger in
using this great remedy, either for
children or adults. Ii contains no
poison, or nothing in the slightest
degree harmful. Get it Of any dealer,

A SLY FOX
Who After Being Picked Up AS Dead
Shoots off Like Flash

shoots off Like Flash.
Many stories told of the crafty fox are
doubtless incidents Of imagination But
a recent writer tells an anecdote which,
though taxing belief, he says is vouched
for by an eye witness of the, affair. Some
fisherman on the west coast of Ireland
were in the Labit Of going TO a small is
land few hundred yards from the main
land, in quest of bait. The island was in
habited by large numbers Of rabbits, and
could be reached at low tide by wadiny
the water there being only a few inches
deep. One morning they went in their
boat quite early, it being high the, and
on landing saw a dead fox lying on tie
beach. The fur Of the animal was an
bedragRed, and he seemed TO have been
drowned. One Of the men remarking that
his skin was worth something, pitched
him into the boat. Procuring their bait
they returnened to the main land and the
man who had possessed himself of the fox
seized him by the tail ana flung him on
shore. As soon as the animal struck the
b ZACH be picked himself up with consider
able agility tor a dead fox and shot like a
fash up among the cliffs, while the men
stood staring at each other IN mute as
constituent. The men concluded that he
had crossed over b. the island during the
night when the tide was ,ow, in search
of rabbits, and finding in the morning
that be was cut Of from the main land.
couuterfsited death, with the expectation
OF thereby procuring d passage 10 the
shore in boat, IN expectation which was
fully realized. Boston Courier
