Chinese Treatment of Children.

However little liked the Chinaman
may be by his white neighbors, have
at. all times found that the Chinese had
at least one good and praisewortby quail
ity-the kindness shown By all of them
toward their children. The poorest
parents always seem able to save enough
money to array their little ones in gay
garments on New Years day or other
holidays The children i'll turn seem to
be remarkably we'll behaved and respect
full toward their elders, and rarely if
ever receive corporal punishment They
seem very happy, and apparently enjoy
their childhood more than most Ameri-
can children. On almost any sunny day
the fond and proud father may be seen
at every turn i'll Chinatown carrying his
brightly attired youngster in his arms.
Other little tots. hardly old enough to
feel quite steady on their legs, toddle
about with infants strapped on their
backs They do not appear to mind this,
and it does not seem to interfere with
their childish pastimes About the time
of tho Chinese New Year Chinese chill
dren are particularly favored, and the
fond fathers deny them nothing. The
little ones always appear to be we'll pro-
vided with pocket money to buy toys
and candies. -Theodore Wores in St

connections with the girder a timber

DOM PAUL's EFFECTIVE PRAYER.
This Story May Not BE True, but 1t Is Far
From Impossible.


From Impossible.
Here is little anecdote told, not bv
malicious uitlander, but by Boer.
In the early days, before the Transvaal
was republic, there was famine in
the land, and party was organized to
hunt the bartbeest. For days the party
secured the veldt in vain; there was no
sign of game of any description Then
one of the Beers declared his intention
of retiring into the bush to pray for sue
cor, as did the patriarchs of old. He ac-
cordingly left the party in company with
native and disappeared into the bush.
Some hours afterward the Boer re-
turned and informed the party solemnly
that he had prayed. and in three days
time very large troop of hartbeest
would pass that way. The party re-
manned at the camp, and, sure enough,
two days after the promised game ap-
peared i'll sight, and the Dutchmen, with
thankful heart, made great haul.
From that moment "the man of pray
er" became the popular hero until he
was elected president Of the South Afri-
can republic. That man was Paul Kru-
ger.
And now listen to the edifying sequel:
1t was some time afterward that the
native who accompanied Kruger into the
bush gave his version Of the affair. The
native stated that when Kruger entered
the bush he did not pray, but struck out
for a neighboring Kaffir kraal. Calling
the headmen, the Boer informed them
that the white people We're starving and
could find no game There was large
number Of armed Beers on the other side
Of the bush, who had sent him to tell
them that unless they (the natives) dis
covered game in less than three days
they would all be shot. Knowing Boer
methods only too we'll. the frightened
natives set out forthwith, discovered the
game and drove it toward the Boer
camp.-London Figaro.

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.
At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
satisfaction.-Ola Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for cold and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or who have reason to fear an
