A Des Moines woman who has been
troubled with frequent colds, concluded
to cry an old remedy in new way, and
accordingly took tablespoonful -four
times the usual dose) Of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy just before going to bed.
The next morning she found that her
ooli had almost entirely disappeared.
During the day she took a few doses of
the remedy Zone teaspoonful at time)
and at night again took tablespoonful
before going to bed, and on the following
morning awoke free from all symptom
of the cold. Since then she has, on sew
ersl occasions, used this remedy in like
manner, with the same good results, and
Is much elated over her discovery of so
quick way of curing cold. For sale

COOL AND CLEVER.
Was the Impertinence Of This Hobo.

He Expressed disappointment In Port
land, as Unworthy of His Visit. But He
Didn't Get the Fifty Cents.
Sunday Portland resident whose
business takes him about the city great
deal, met tramp on Commercial street.
He wasn't an ordinary sort Of tramp,
but man who had seen better, or at
any rate fusher days.
Marching up to the Portland man tho
tramp said, "You look like a man who
would advance me fifty cents for a few
days"
appearances are deceitful" replied
the other. "Pm not that kind OF man
at ALL"
81 am deeply disappointed, said the
tramp. 81 proposed inves ing the loan
in shave, breakfast and dinner all in
one, and a lodging. Tomorrow propose
to call on a number of your leading citi-
zens, your mayor, for example"
with what object in view?'
81 have long desired to live in Port
land, and it seemed to me that pushing
city like this must have an opening for
me, some light, stylish situation gentle
man could accept"
"Why don't you interview the deputy
at onoe?"
81 expaoted that after you declined to
advance ME the trifing sum of fifty
cents. 1t may come to that if you are a
fair representative of your people,"
"I'm rather better than the average
when it comes to helping tramps. Now
do you want something to eat? Ii you
do I'll go with you to a restaurant and
pay for your dinner"
"No, sir. What proposed was purely
business transaction, what you propose
is simply charity, and that decline to
take. Make the temporary accommodation
limited at twenty five cents, and let US
have no more words about iu.''
''Not cent"
''Then I shall leave this city without
calling on the leading citizens to whom
1 referred. 1t is doubtful if there's an
opening for a man of my ability here.'
"There might be off one of the docks. :"
"Good day SIR" and the indignant
tramp walked off, but few moments
later held up two men from whom he got
ten cents each to help him on his way to
Lewiston, there to take a position he
was careful not to say "job," in a store
He evidently won't starve as long as cool
impudence can carry him through. He
is probably the black sheep of some good
family.

To the Editor of the Press:
Not long since the writer saw long
article, in a paper, concerning the town
system of sch 2ols, it's use and abuse. 1t
suggested providing oonveyances to and
from school, for children living at great
distances from the school buildings and
in whose districts the schools have been
discontinued. l have since learned that
the school committee in several towns
have caused an article to be inserted in
the warrant for town meeting, to see if
the people will vote to have conveyances
provided. In those towns there remains
but one thing to be done and that is for
the people to vote as they should. They
ought not to buster and rage If they
perchanoe have no children. and say .
"Oh I don't want to pay for teams to
carry young ones to school, let 'em
walk 70 But they should give the matter
some thought and after so doing if they
are reasonable, and just people their
votes will be cast in fan or of the children.
Those whose families contain no school
children are the only ones whose votes
will be uncertain, for all parents sending
children to school will see at once the
great Importance of having some meaDa
Of transpor tation, and will vote for hay
ing eonveyanoes provided. Think it over
talk it over and then vote, and vote
right! f. L. L.

WESTBROOK.

The Universalist society have issued an
invitation to their birthday party in
poetry as follows:
1t will afford us great delight
To have you come next Friday night
To Westbrook's church of the Messiah
And celebrate with song and Tyre
And social converse flowing free,
The church's anniversary.
This little bag of silken sheen,
Whose counterpart you may have seen,
Will hold a cent for every year
You've dwelt upon this mundane sphere,
So bring the bag, nor question whether
Wisdom and cents can go together.
I he music by our Portland friends,
Can't help but please wheeler attends
For Names flair city by the sea-,
Is famed for vocal melody.
And then the ladies will prepare
A supper in the vestry where
The most aesthetic will admit
The grace and temptlpgness of it.
Take in this Birthday Party" do
And prove that what we write is true;
Say "I'll be there on Friday next"
And then stick solely to your text.

There has bsen taken out of the perma-

1883 to January, 1896, four thousand
dollars and used as income. In tho same
time there has been paid in for dues
about two thousand dollars. This was
permanent fund. but has been used as in
come. If the officers Of this society will
have she books properly made up from
January. 1883 to January, 1896, and If a
loss of over four thousand dollars in the
permanent fund does not appear, 1 will
pay the expenses OF making them up.
The president called a special meeting to
treasurer in the case now pending against
them. This action endeavors to prevent
three hundred dollars or any portion of
the society's funds from being taken to
