Henry Wilson, the postmaster

a case Of diarrh9a OF long standing

pleasant surprise that must have
been to the sufferer. Such cures
are not unusual with this remedy.

opinion that there is nothing as
good for children troubled with
colds or Group as Chamberlain's

troubled with a severe cough. He
used other remedies without bene-
fit and then concluded to try the

SQUIRTING.
How Persons Affected Fifty Years
Ago Were Treated.

The most common form of "squnt" is that
in which the globe of the eye is turned inward.
Fifty years ago "crosSed-eyed" persons must
have been much en- evidence, judging from the
forms of treatment laid down in the standard
textbooks of that period for the relief OF the de-
foTmity. Nothing was then known OF the
science of its cauSatiOn, and the treatment OF 1t
OF course was entirely at fault Most elaborate
reasons were assigned IN The enueayor 10
account for its appearance. One diStin-
guished author attributed "squint' 10 THE bad
custom which nurses sometimes have OF laying
a child In such position in its cradle that it
sees he light, or any other remarkable object,
with only one eye"
Reading between these lines it is almost i'm
possible 10 avoid eXclaiming, "PoOr nurses,
poor children!" for under these circumstances
a nurse would be certain TO be censuFed for her
alleged careleSSneSs, and child as IL grew
Older would be certain 10 be subjected to q
treatment of rather excessive disciplinary
character for having had the audaoitY TO ac-
quire "Squint." But it was in the treatment
of this affection that our predecessors eXcellod
themselves 81 avely. 1t was laid down that one
method of curing squirting eye was ITO make
a child look often In the loOkiDg-glasS," b.
cause "the child viii see the sQuint and correct

Al EFFORT Is being made TO connect tue

A THREE-TIME LOSER.
The Horse That Miss Russell Bet on
Had No Winning Gait.

Since Miss Lillian Russell closed her season
her secretary and general representative Teddy
PEPPER, has subsisted very nicely without any
regular salary. Miss Russell has been by no
means mean TO him. but then between Teddy
PeIper's appetite and Teddy PeiDer's means
there is q chasm which has never yet been com
pletely bridged.
Miss RUSSELL, saws The Chicago Times, is pas
siOnately fond OF horse-racing. She never
makes large bets, but in feminine way yearly
loses some portion of her large income in back
ing this horse or that.
Mr.. Pelper, recognizing this peculiarly OF
his employer called GU Miss Russell one day
st her residence, and In the course OF conversa-
ton mentioned that he had a great tip on a
horse we may call Starlight, which unfortu-
nately he was unable TO take advantage OF by
reason Of his financial condition. The odds
were ten TO one and II was a dead sure thing.
Miss Russell was at once all interest, and
finally induced Mr. PEPPER, who of course was
reluctant TO wager her money on bis tip, 10
accept $50 and put iG on Starlight.
A few days afterward Mr.. PEPPER again had
occasion 10 call on Miss Russell, anu in the
course of conversation il suddenly occurred 10
her 10 ask what had become OF Starlight an
the tip.
The most unfortunate thing you ever saw"
said Teddy. 1t was practically a dead-sure
thing, but from the start Starlight got in
pocket and could not get out and fni-bed
badly. OF course. the $50 is gone. but II L only
knew somebody who could put up $50 on Star
light tomorrow he would simply get $3.50 for
it," Miss Russell was almost compelled TO beg
to be permitted to give Mr.. PEPPER $50 more TO
put on Starlight.
10 the course of business Mr.. PEPPER had
again occasion 10 call on Miss Russell several
days after She had almost forgotten about
Starlight, but some reference Mr.. PEPPER made
TO the races excited her curiosity. and she said:
"By the way. what about that horse you bet
Oh? Starlight was it not?''
The story that Mr.. PEPPER thereupon told of
the manifold misfortunes that befeli Starlight
III the race aud the almost innumeTable reasons
why he came In last II Is needless here 10 tell.
Ii VIII hardly be believed that after these TWO
"throwuowns." so TO speak, Miss Russell was
again induced 10 nut up S25 on be next race
that Starlight would run. Again the same story
In its general purport. but differing TO de-
tails. This time Miss Russell had grown sus-
pici0ns, and she asked Mr. PEPPER: " You
bought the pool. did you nOt?"
why, of course" answered Mr.. PEPPER.
Then. where is the ticket?" asked Miss Rus
sell. "The ticket" and for a moment Teddy
was almost nOnplused. ''Oh, yes, the ticket.
1 remember now was so mad, almost crazy
at this third failure that l tore IL up and
stamped on il. L ought TO have Kept it, of
course, but anger got the best OF me-"
Miss Russell is really gOod-bearted woman,
and she smiled on Teddy.

LEGAL SUICIDE.
A Murderer Will Execute
Himself.
An Automatic Machine in Connecti-
cut That Will Save Trouble
for the Prison Warden.

a dispatch from Hartford, Conn. to the New
York Herald says: With the hanging of jack
Cr0nn on August "a will be inaugur ated a new
mode of execution in this State. The cid gal
lows, which has been carted about 10 do duty
since the hanging of Anderson, The Walling-
ford murderer, has been used for the last time.
In It's stead will be an improved automatic
hanging machine which completely revolution
ICES the style of execution.
By the old method the condemned man was
dropped through an opening in the scaffold. the
drop being released at the proper time. BY the
new machine the murderer is jerked high in
air and then drops and is suspended. There are
thus TWO chances to break the neck while by
the old way there WAS only one chance. and
often this failed and death was by Strangula-
ton.
COnnecticurs law in relation to executions
was changed by the last General Assembly, and
the hanging OF CrOnin will be the first under
this provision. When CrOnin was convicted
and sentenced it became necessary TO have an
eXecuton-hOuse and the necessary apparatus
al the prison. In the past the hangings have
been in the county where the crime was COM
mitted. John Swift, the wife murderer was
the last criminal hanged in Hartford County.
By The old law the condemned man was given
usually fifteen months TO prepare for death
The new law orders the execution within six
months OF the conviction.

prepare place for CronIn's execution. In the
