Will people never learn that cold" is an
accident to be dreaded, and that when it
occurs treatment should be promptly applied
There is no knowing where the trouble will
end and while complete recovery is the
rule, the exceptions are terribly frequent,
and thousands upon thousands of fatal i'll
nesses occur every year ushered in by a little
iniudicious exposure and seemingly trifing
symptoms. Beyond this, there are to-day
countless invalids who can trace their com
plants to colds" which at the time of
occurrence gave no concern, and were there
fore neglected. When troubled with cold
use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
prompt and ehectual. 25 and 80 cent bottles

The Stricken Armenians Threatened with
determination by Starvation.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Brown Bros. 81
Co.. treasu-crs Of the Armenian relief
fund yesterday received the following
cablcgram from Constantinoplo in ac-
knowledgement of "a remittance of $4,000;
"Your two remittauces most timely.
Distribution by the HarpOot committce
reaches $1,000 souls. Over thousand have
died of exposure and starvation there
alone We are supporting fifteen other
centcrs Need appalling. A nation is
threatened with determination
Spencer Trask, chairman Of tho execu-
tive committee of the Armenian relief
fund, said concerning the foregoing cable
gram:
mo appeal can be stronger than this
statement Of facts fresh from the field.
The gifts received thus far from all
sources, both in England and America,
have been entirely inadequate and now
seem to be dwindling. Efforts have been
made TO throw doubt both on the deserts
of the ArmeniaDs and on the possibility
of aiding the wretched widows and or
phans Of those who perished in the massa-
cres. All such doubts have been entirely
removed by facts which are now before
the world. A responsible and efficient
agency has ut last been established
throughout the interior The control Of
all funds is and will continue entirely in
the hands OF most trustworthy American
residents and British consuls. The sala-
ries of all these agents is otherwise pro-
vided, SO that all the relief funds go di-
rectly to the sufferers"

journed until today without reaching a
conclusion. The senate conferrees ex-

that it would be necessary for the house
to yield something to prevent leaving the
question in the. air between the two
houses. The house conferrees accepted
this explanation and expressed willing
ness to make reasonable concessions.

which proves. again the axiom that
the trifling, and the important, are but
relative.
And, so, the day drew on, and the
low sun sent its sheen from the west
ern hills far out over the waves, turn
ing white crests into Kaleidoscope of
color. And then they all came down
from the house on the cliff laughing
and jesting, my friend indeed holding
his own but appearing a rather puny
figure among those athletic ones. And
there was not Priscilla, but the mer-
maid who, was part of her, and perhap
the most of her. And her yellow hair
and the sea eyes caught the glimmer
of the late afternoon, as she dove into
a breaker, the others following, and
Jack Merton not much behind. Yes, he
could swim bit. He hadn't forgotten.
One never entirely forgets that skill;
and he felt a certain exhiliration.
And then over the crests someone
called to him, an -enticing, mocking
voice; and there was the very mermaid
of the poets pushing before him. What
would you, or l, or any man. have done
but follow? And Merton followed we'll
beyond his depth, that merry voice
calling him ever deeper. And then the
muscles demonstrated, and he knew he
could not keep up. Where was that ex-
cellent judgment that had carried SO
we'll in the struggle among men. Here,
Silly following a girl, he was sinking.
