Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
famous for its cures of bad colds.
1t opens the secretions, relieves the
lungs and aids nature in restoring
the system to a healthy condition.
If freely used as soon as the cold
has been contracted, and before it
has become settled in the system,
it greatly lessons the severity of the
attack and has often cured in a
single day what would have been a
severe cold. For sale by VIM. F.

The Baltimore American of
Thursday says that Bishop Paret
tells q good story and at his own
expense. As it happened he was
on q Washington train recently,
and was seated in the immediate Vi
cinity of couple of men who were
rather under the weather. az the
saying ia. Presently one of the
men, with forcible expletive, re-
marked to the other that some one
had robbed him of q twenty-dollar
bill. His friend remarked: sOh.
| guess not; you must have it about
you somewhere But the other
insisted he hadn't, and that he had
the bill when he came aboard the
train. Some one had robbed him,
and he proposed to find it if he had
to search the whole crowd. AS il
happened says Bishop Paret; 4
had a twenty-dollar bill, md that
was all, and as I-was the nearest
man to them, and the first likely to
be approached, felt little un-
comfortable. Then it occurred to
me to pretend to be asleep. Sure
enough, in minute more I was
accosted with, Il say neighbori' but
| made no answer. Then the man
grabbed my arm and shook me, but
to no use, as i didn't wake MP.
He kept on shaking, however, and
always little more forcibly, until
at last his friend interposed with,
Il say, Bill, let him alone, will you ;
he's drunker'n you are!'

LANeoN's MILL ROMANCE.
A STORY FROM OLD NORTH CARO-.
LIMA MOUNTAINS.

In a picturesque corner among
the Carolina hills there is an old
mill, concerning which strange ira
ditions are told. The lower story
10 built of unhewn rock, while the
upper story consists of two substan-
tial rooms. One of the rooms is
much larger than the other, the
smaller one being a mere closet in
comparison with the front apart
ment. The mill looks as though
it had been built to resist a siege,
and it surely has witnessed many
strange and horrible scenes, even IL
but the half that is told is true.
The mill was built just before
the war of the Revolution. 1t is
appropriately situated at the foot
OF red hill. The trees that stand
around are massive, but few. A
gray and solitary sycamore grows
near the little bridge and stands
like a sLrouded form; the rest OF
the trees are oak. The trumpet
vine is now rank near the entrance
to the building, and its blooms are
to the fanciful mind the CORY fing-
ers Of murderer, reeking with the
fresh blood OF his victim. The
pork weed is there, too, with its
red stalk, red berries and reddish
leaves. The little stream almost
encircles the mill in sinuous line.
About the beginning of the Rev.
olution several Tory families inhab-
tied the country. A young man oi
one of these families loved the
daughter OF a jealous Whig, and
the day had been appointed for the
marriage. When its was first whis-
pered among the neighbors that the
youth had sided with the Tories,
the girl was almost broken hearted,
but declared that she would not be.
lieve the fact till she had heard ii
from his own lips.
Sooner than she expected she had
the chance. One evening as she
was milking the cows her lover
jumped over the fence and stood
before her. She told him instant
ly what she had heard, expecting a
vehement denial.
"Yes," he said, "it is all true,
and before another year your father
will wish he was as | am."
"He would see his grave first, "
the girl Indignantly replied.
"He may not have far to 60 to
find it," the young man avowed,
with a peculiar intonation in his
voice.
He persisted in following the girl,
against her will, to the house. The
girls father was there and he for
bade his entrance, saying an ene-
my to his country was not welcomed
in his house. The girl ardently
sanctioned, by word and manner,
the action of her father. Tradi-
ton does not tell all that followed.
However, the young man, whose
name was Jack Cotton, left in a
towering rage, swearing that when
next he returned he would enter if
he pleased, went away and was seen
no more until a year afterward.
Pretty Nancy Langon continued to
milk her cows.

There was so much tumult and
confusion in the country that peo-
pie became Injured to danger and
were not afraid. And Nancy, a
large buxom maiden of IS, was
proud of her own courage. Her
mother was an invalid and timid,
and she closed the shutters if the
wind was heard among the pines.
at all sounded like the groans
OF dying men," she would say.
Her husband and four sons were
with General Greene, and even the
slightest suggestion of their death
was terrible to her. Her younger
daughter Eva was of her tempera-
ment. She shivered. too, when the
wind blew too hard or when neigh
boring woman brought in the It'd
ings of the disastrous result of some
far-off battle. Little Eva would
crouch closer to her mother and
they two, with hands clasped, would
pray for their far-off loved ones,
and that the merciful Father would
not forget them in their helpless
condition.
But on such occasions Nancy
would throw open the windows and
wish that she were a man that she
might be with her father and broth
ers, 10 fight for the country she
loved SO we'll.
One day their father returned
quite Unexpectedly. The news had
just preceded his arrival that Jack
Cotton and a dozen other Torie:
were in the nelghborhood. The
women were torn by conflicting

berries, saw the terrible scene.
lie was at the top of the hill and
was not seen or could not be caught,
or perhaps Jack and his followers
did not care.
The child ran back and told the
terrible tale. The old father start
ed after his daughters. From the
window of the mill he was seen,
but not until he had taken his
stand under a straight tree, whose
branches were all far above his
head.
He was now plainly visible and
was clear target. He appeared
unarmed. But he might have stood
there; he was safe. 1t was not his
blood the neighbof wanted, know
ing as he did that life and con-
sciousness were such agony to the
stricken father as a thousand bull
lets could never produce.
He heard his daughters screams.
One was allowed to appear for q
moment at the window that he
might see her, and still he stood,
appearing not to have the power to
move.
Jeering faces appeared at the win
dow, and taunts were hurled at
him. Then suddenly Jack Cotton
flung wide open the door and ap-
peared standing on the threshold.
With a laugh and a curse he cried
out to the old man to come and join
them.
Quick as q flash the old flint and
steel was caught up from against
the dark trunk of the tree, where it
had unperceived been placed. In
an instant there was a flash, follow
ed by a report, and Jack Colton's
brains and blood stained the door
against which he was leaning. The
stain is pointed out to this day.
Nancy and her friend lived and
married. Eva died very soon after
the terrible catastrophe that un
hinged her mind. 1t is said that
the devil was seen soon afterward
walking through that room, which
had been and remained as long as
they were in power, q rendezvous
for fairies.
1t is said that Satan was seen,
heard and the sulphur smelt, and
his tracks burned in the solid floor
that are pointed out as evidence of
the truth of this assertion. The
natives point out the track of his
club-foOt, then of his other foot,
and so on. There, too, are the
prints where the red-hot chain
touched the floor as he dragged it
behind him. Some believe. Else
they say, how were those tracks
made:' And looking upon them
burned into the floor, as they are,
they do send a strange thrill of be-
lief through the one beholding
them and knowing the story of the
unfortunate girls to bel true one

n lively time when they elected her this
afternoon when Mrs. Townsend refused
TO listen TO the suggestions Tor an AMIGA
hle settlement of the dispute over the
property which were made by the board
OF town trustees. IL decided to delay no
longer, and instructed Marshal Lloyd and
Superintendent of Streets Chick TO move

prior u Mrs. Townsends usurpation of
Shattuck avenue. In the face Of Mrs.
Townsend's threat TO shoot the first per-
son attempting 10 disturb her. the Of
ficials were not thought TO have very
pleasant task. but they declared they
would carry out the letter of tne law, and
n large crowd gathered at Dw.ghtway
and Shattuck Avenue this afternoon to
witness the opening OF hostilities. Mrs.
Shattuck appeared on the front porch of
the dwelling and announced that she was
prepared 10 hold her own against the
town. and directed her threats especially
TO the house-movers who were waiting for
Chick. Shortly before O'Clock the street
superintendent accompanied by Marshal
Lloyd. appeared on the scene. Mrs.
Townsend was ensconsed behind her
front door with a pistol In each hsnsar-
lloyd rushed UP the steps, broke through
the entrance ard graSped one arm and
pistol. A piicanian who was just behind
him grabbed the other pistol in time to
prevent Lloyd receiving shot In the abb
domen- Mrs. Townsend was taken TO Jail
and charged with assault with a deadly
weapon. Chick subsequently cleared the
