W. A. MCGUIRE, a well known
citizen of Mckay, Ohio, is of the
opinion that there is nothing as
good for children troubled with
colds or group as Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. He has used it in
his family for several years with the
best results and always keeps bot
tie of it in the house After having
la grippe he was himself troubled
with a severe cough. He used 9th
er remedies without benefit and then
concluded to try the children's med
ieine and to his delight it soon eff
feeted a permanent cure. % and 80

Good Roads Education.

While there is room for honest
difference of opinion as to the
methods of road building, the great
est obstacle to the improvement in
this direction is the stubborn and
discouraging fact that goods cost
money. Farmers shy at increased
taxes for road purposes and usually
manage to defeat any effective leg
islation looking to better road
system. A small road tax is levied
every year, which may be paid in
money or worked at the option of
the taxpayer, and this is expended
in repairing mere clay roadways
which are always just as bad after
the fall and spring wet weather as
before the repairs were made.
This aggregate of money expended
on the older highways of the conn
ty would have provided perma-
nent roads long ago if wisely ex
pended under competent direction
at any one time, but having been
expended in annual driblets, with
no intelligent foresight, the money
has been as good as thrown away.
Its evident the only two practi-
cal forms of road agitation must be
inthe direction of specimen sections
of road in as many localities as pos
sible aud the education OF the tax
payers to the economy of better
roads A specimen mile of good
road in every township would re-
suit eventually in universal good
roads for the specimen mile would

ed as an educator in the science of
good roads because located in re-
mote and thinIy populated section
of the State. The construction of a
short section of such road in every
township would long ago have
revoiutionized the entire road sys-
tenn of the State.
If the good road reformers will
construct specimen good roads in
the sections in which they reside,
the good roads revolution will be
given an immediate and irresistible
impetus 1t is not more good roads
agitation that is needed. but more
good roads.-Fhitadelphia Times.

Did you know that one of the
Colonies on Governor MacCorkle's
staff is a young Iady9 She is Miss
Antoinette Humphreys, of Mt. Au-
burn, Cincinnati. 1t came about
this way: Miss Humphreys, who
is a beautiful singer, took the part
of Yum Yum in a presentation of
the "Mikado" at Charleston for the
benefit of a charitable Institution.
The performance was a great sue
cess and Miss Humphreys made a
decided hit, her singing and acting
both being admirable. AS theopera
was given for charity, she refused
any compensation, but Governor
MacCorkle, who was interested in
the good cause, shortly after her re-
turn to Cincinnati sent her COM
mission as a member of his staff
with the rank of colonel, and she is
doubtless the handsomest colonel in
the United States. Miss Humph-
reys is a daughter of Mr.. Albert
Humphreys, a prominent insurance
man.-Pdrkers6urg State Journal.
If you would increase your hap
piness and prolong your life, forget
your neighbors faults. Forget the
SANDER you have heard. Forget
the temptations. Forge. the fault
finding, and give little thought to
the cause that provoked it. Forget
the peculiarity of your friends, and
remember only the good points that
make you fond of them. Forget all
personal histories of quarrels that
you have heard by accident, and
which, if repeated, would seem a
thousand times worse than they are.
Blot out, as far as possible, all the
disagreeables of life; they will come,
but they will grow large as you re-
member them.

tiful hand write, which once seen
can never be forgotten. 1t states
that she was united in marriage
with Hon. J. K. Bramble at Helena,
Montana, Monday, Nov. 5, 1891
The MarysvilIe (Mont9 Gazette
says that Mr.. BrambIe has been a
leading teacher and editor of the
Gazette and is at present an attor-
ney at-law. Mrs. Saunders Bran
BILE writes: al have been in my
new home little more than week
already and feel quite habituated.
The imposing, majestic mountains,
the wild natural beauty which
everywhere surrounds me, appeals
very strongly 10 my romantic ma
ture, and as yet, have not become
homesick in the least. Sometimes

eriptive of this portion of Montana

We assure Mrs. BrambIe that any
contribution she may make in that
direction will be appreciated and
gratefully received. All the read
ers of the journal will join us in
hoping the best there is in this life
and the life to come for "Clara
Saunders" IF there is one true,
pure christian heart faultless, guile
less, absolutely good, in this world
of wickedness it is hers, and we
know that, if there are crowns above,
there is one radiant and sparkling
with love of the Master awaiting
her. May no sorrow ever cross the

Senatorial Funeral Expense.

When Senator dies m Washington
his remains are put IN charge OF a Con-
grcssional Committee and escorted to
the place Of burial with great pomp.
All Of tins D. at the expense Of the
Government An average Senatorial
funeral Will cost the Government ! L.
500 for transportation, SlOO for the
casl,et and an additional $50 for the
local undertakerat the place Of inter-
ment, 800 for flowers, $50 for sup
plies for Congressional Committee en-
route $50 for hotel bills Then there
may be such extras AZ a choir or a
special organist at the church. AZ
together, a respectable funeral costs
the Government close 10 $1,000. II
the Senator to be buried is from Cali
fornia. the expenses can easily reach
-. 600 or $4,000. Sometimes, as IA
the case OF Mr.. Stockbridge, the SEN
ator dies at or near his own home.
Then the Senate simply sends a com.
mittee to attend the funeral.
There was another expense attend
ing the death of those members Of the
two houses who died IN Office before
1876. This was for the erection Of
cenotaphs in the Congressional ceme-
terry in memory Of deceased Congress
men who were not bnried there. The
last bid received for these cenotaphs
was $1GI50 Probably when they
were Grst erected they cost less.
There was no good reason for putting
up the.e memorial stones, because the
Congressional cemetery was IN no
sense government affair But Con-
gress had been making tins appropri-
alton for 70 many years that no one
thought Of questioning it until 1876,
when il was found that the amount
appropriated would not furnish quite
all the stones that were needed. The
matter was referred back 10 the House,
and having its attention called 70 the
matter, Congress promptly abolirhed
| the useless cenOtaph.

a think that greater progress has
been made in the past few years in
the practice Of dentistry than in any
other branch Of the healing art, said
a dentist to a writer for the New York
Evening Sun. Dentistry as a science
consists Of great deal more nowadays
than the mere extracting of teeth.
In fact, an up-to-date specialist does
not extract teeth at all. So long as
there is the least bit of crown or root
left he sets himself to work to save
that bit, and usually accomplishes his
purpose. I know Of recent case
where an artifcaljaw was provided for

went, there was nothing to show that
ANYTHING was wrong. \ malignant

its sacred roots, and a few years later
a cathedral was built near by, so close,
indeed, that the vines were trained
along the stony wall In the year
ll4G the cathedral was destroyed by
fire, but the vine survived and still
hourishes. At present it Is twenty
