lains's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this
remedy is taken as soon as cold has
been contracted, and before it has be.
come settled in the system, it will count
eract the effect of the cold and greatly
lessen it's severity, if not effectually
cure the cold in two days time, and it is
the only remedy that will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs, open,
ing the secretions, liquifying the mucus
and causing its expulsion from the air
cells OF the lungs and restoring the sys-
tenn to strong and healthy condition.
No other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure a cold SO quickly or leave the

4 THANKSGIVING HUNT
Al Indiana Custom That is Very Much
Like Cold Slaughter.

st. Louis Post Dispatch: From Indi-
ana comes word Of u grand Thanks
giving hunt in which, according to
t1nc-hOnored custom, the two parties
choose sides, each under Il captain. and
went afield to see which side could kill
the most game the losing side to paw
for the supper. In these hunts The diff
ercnt sorts OF game are graded on n
scale Of points. Il quail for ms nee,
to value 1G points, while Il duck would
count 20 points, q goose 200 q fO.. 800,
wolf 1000. These affairs might in
one sense be exciting and semi
SportSman'ike enough, even though
they did destroy vast amount Of game,
Wer" it not for the temptation offered
the thouglltleSS OF. IlnScruptll0uS to kin
the game i'll any and every way posi-
Die. Many Il bcvy Of quail has been
eXtclminated at one shot by the Point
hunter in side match Of this sort.
Beyond this the idea Of small army
going out i'll this way does not seem
quite right. 1t does not seem like field
sports or like high-lived craftsmanship.
1t seems like q thOughtlcSS hunt or
slaughter. with no consideration for
any Of the wild creatures whose de-
St11lctiOn can be compaSSed This is
not the function Of true craftsmanship.
Detroit Free Press: The old gentle
man had been trying to instill into his
son some idea Of business thrift, and
to help the lesson along had brought
home toy bank.
''Now, Tommy" he said. "T'll be
president Of this bank, and you'll be
cashier. Your mother and sisters will
be stockholders. Christmas wen open
it and declare a dividend Wen put
something in it every day"
The old gentleman put in a dime
Tommy and his sisters a nickel each,
and his mother a dime.
"We'H let what I put in represent
the interest on the other deposits"
went on he old gentleman. "You keep
track of what the others put In, and
when we open the bank the interest
will be divided proportionately among
the depositors."

view OF the river from the study rooms up

an oDiong square. about midway of which was
planted a jessamine a-bor. Rev. David Wiley
assumed charge of the academy in 1901. He
was burdened with large family and this
state OF circumstances urged him to take any
kind of pupil.
THE COLUMBIAN LIBRARY.
DIR. Balch was one of the founders and Q
member OF the board Of twelve trustees of the
Columbian library about 1903, in which he took
an active interest. A dispute arose whether
tales, romances and novels should be intro
duced Some OF the trustees thought them in
FURIOUS by creating a morbid TASTE while others
commended their effect was to ouicken the
imagination. DIR. Bslch was opposed to novels,
and In his speech remarked: You NAV do as
you please, but mark my words the tale shelf

should be provided. The preliminaries being

globes and chemical apparatus used in the
school. The books under the management of
Rev. David Wiley soon became scattered. Not
contented with being simply a teacher and
librarian he had Q number of irons stimuli
taneously in the fire. He was the superin-
tendent Of q turnpike road and editor Of an
agricultural paper at the same time. He was
also postmaster, merchant. miller and preacher.
He was out on surveys repeatedly to the
neglect Of his school, which was finally dis
persed. and the library after a few years ex-
istence became q matter of the past. He at
last became politician and served as mayor
of the town from 1911 to 1912, and died in
North Carolina while returning from . govern
ment survey. His intentions were always good
and honorable, and whenever he married 9

To have his suffering soul set free

Military men are much exercis cd at the deg
