How to Prevent Group.

SOME READING THAT WILL Prove
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
TO GUARD AGAINST TIE DISEASE.
Group is terror 10 young mothers
and 10 post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin Of Group
is common cold. Children VINO are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure TO follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by a peculiar rough cough,
which is easily recognized and viii
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hosrse. If Cham;
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given
all tendency to Group will soon disap-
pear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the
attack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by L. Stabier & Co.

WIFE OF THE FAMOUS BURG
LAR.


The beautiful Mrs. Barrett, wife oil
the now famous Massachusetts, burglar,
was one of the most popular and best
known women at Newport, R. l., for
several seasons. A gentleman who
knew the Barre it's intimately when they
were there several seasons ago and
later, says that at that time Mrs. Bar
rett was the best oss country rider
Newport ever saw. I think that was
the first year of the fox hunt" he So d
:sThey were subscription affairs, and
one OF those who contributed was Will
liam Barrett. As l remember the
couple they had just come from Eng
land, where Mrs. Barrett had won a
number of prizes, the best of which was
medal presented by the Princess OF
Wales.
.'They did not enter in society, but
Mrs. Barrett became acquainted with
many distinguished persons at the
hunts. Eliot Zborowski and F. Gray
Griswold were the leaders in these
events, and among the distin-
gulSneu peTSoHs WIZ auAhiA .o
Mrs. Barrett's riding was the
Duke OF Beaufort, who was then In
Newport. Mrs. Barrett was at that
time spoken of as the English lady,
and she rode an imported thoroughbred
horse. She was one of the few women
who could clear the most difficult
fences, and who was always in at the
death.
''The Barretts st that time rented the
Fales cottage in Middleton. 1t was
very different then from what it is now,
and I do not think they paid more than
S25 q month rent. Mrs. Barrett met
with two bad accidents when she was
here, and the marks of one of them, /
think, she will carry with her always.
The Barretts lived here in the summer
for six or seven years. 1 understood
they spent the winter in Boston, l
know they were here in 1885, and from
that it would appear that at the time
the Ames pictures were stolen and
many other burglaries committed Bar
rett and his wife were on nodding terms
with many of the biggest society men
of New York and Boston"
