- The wife of Mr.. Leonard Wells,
Of East Brim6eld, Mass, had been
suffering from neuralgia for two days,
not being able to sleep or hardly keep
still, when Mr.. Holden, the merchant
there sent her bottle Of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, and asked that she
give it thorough trial. On meeting
Mr.. Wells the next day he was told
that she was all right, the pain had
left her within two hours, and that
the bottle of Pain Balm was worth
$500 if it could not be had for less.

Photography as Cure for Drunkenness.

We commend this story to the at
tention of our temperance contempora-
ries, "merely adding" as Mr.. Richard
Swiyeller would say, that eff it ism t
true, it's very good: "a. woman in
Salemville' Pa, determined that her
husband should know how he looked
when he was drunk. She knew how
he looked we'll enough, and needed
not that any man should tell her. Her
children also knew by sad experience,
but the man himself had very i'm
perfect idea of the state of his case.
So once, when he came home and fell
into a amaudlin slumber, she sent for a
photographer to come forthwith, and
on his arrival she set before him his
work. She ordered the photographer
to photograph her husband as he sat
in the chair. The photographer did
his work, and did it well and when
the photograph was finished and laid
beside the husbands place at break

gentleman experienced a decidedly
new sensation. There was no need Of
explanation; the thing explained it.

How to Prevent Group.

SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin Of
crop is common cold. Children who
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
will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. 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 Hill

over the making of arrangements for

to be crematcd, and after his death his
family decided TO follow his wishes.
Mr.. Rcisscr was also Mason and was
a member Of Rising Star Lodge, Orien-
tai Chapter Kadosh Commantlcry.
These organizations were invited to
take part in the funeral but before
accepting it was learned that it was the
intention to have tho services at the
time the body was crc!nated The
question was at once raised whethcr,
under Masonic law, this would be a
Christian burial. Tho matter was re-
ferred to tho Grand Master of Penn-
sylvania, who is Judge Arnold, and
he promptly rendered a. decision that
services at cremation wero not

Tho family, therefore, decided to aban-

in Cuba:
Things are looking rocky even in

the situation is serious and growing
worse every day. The insurgents
have q force of more than ten thous-
and armed and we'll equipped men in
the field and can place as many more
in service on short notice. But their
plan is to make guerilla warfare of
it for the present. When the Govern
ment shows its hand fully then they
will act.

beginning Of u struggle in earnest.
He brings authority from Madrid to
garrotc and shoot every rebel captured
in the field and the atrocities of the
last rebellion will be repeated. Dur
ing that struggle mon were shot,

rebels were outraged and their homes
burned. But the rebels are prepared
to meet the enomy at every point
