main1ng years, but could we live our
happy, hearty, toil-laden, but blessed
life without our IMAM of the house,"
This man has as few faults as we our
selve are guilty of. in all probability.
And 1t is really comforting to our self
love to note that he is not quite perfect.
1t is worth the fun to see him lose his
emper on q "confounded stovepipe,"
or q balky horse; TO have him forget to
replenish the fire in time 10 save it's life:
to have him bring home arnica instead
of peppermint; to hear him tell the same
funny story dozens of times; to have
him lose his hat. gloves, newspapers
and slippers about the house; to have
him forget the childrens' ages, and con-
duct himself generally in the usual hui
man fashion.
And when the hired girls flare up and
leave, who comes nobly to the rescue,
and, handling the dish fowls deftly,
wipes all the dishes, from china and sill
yer to pitchers and platters? The man
of the house. Who compliments our
cooking and testif3es to his sincerity by
his own plump and smiling appear
ance? Who confdes in US all his plans
and hopes and fears, which compliment
We return by telling him all about our
little domestic trials. and how we are
roiny to trim the chilaren's clothes?
WI reads the lines on our careworn
Ice: Id warns US TO be careful and not
~ TX? Who cracks jokes until the
WIZ. house rings with laughter and the
.hiiGren GO to bed singing? Who in
lists on rigid obedience to every BUSH
less law of order, and yet can relax
INTO the most delightful Of social COM
,anions? Who puts his feet on your
,est rocker and tips back in his chair
70 gracefully while reading his evening
paper. while the weight of care lifts,
,erchance, from his weary brow, and the
fragrance of the Havana fills the air
Is he basks in the (gas) light of your
presence? Why, the man Of the house.
Of coursei And even If any of us should
possess q "man Of the house" that does
hot come up to this average of perfect
ness and faultiness. but rather inclines
toward the faulty side in the opinion OF
the "housekeeper," just try searching
for the good qualities underneath the
faults, and some traits of surprising
worth Will be found in even the most
unsatisfactory man of the house.-Chi'

In a recent letter to the manufac-

the Spectator, Rushford, n. Y, says:
at may be a pleasure for you to know
the high esteem in which Chamberlain's
medicines are held by the people of your
own state, where they must be best
known. An aunt of mine, who resides at
Dexter, Ia, was about to visit me a few
years since and before leaving home
wrote ne, asking il they were sold here,
stating If they were not she would bring
quantity with her, as she did not like
to be without them" The medicines re-
ferred to are Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy, famous for its cures of colds and
Group; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for
rheumatism, lame back, pains in the
side and chest, and Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy for bowel
complaints. These medicines have been
in constant use in Iowa for almost
quarter of a century. The people have
learned that they are articles of great
wortha nd merit, and unequaled by any
other. They are for sale here by drug
