The origin of Group is q common cold.
Children who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hosrseness; this is soon
followed by peculiar rough cough, which
is easily recognized and will never be forgot
by one who has heard it. The time to act ls

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given

A TELEGRAM.
She Was Like Other Women, and Got Scared
to Cnconsciousness.

The effect which the telegraph messen-
ger has upon the members of my sex when
he delivers a telegram makes us fruitful
theme for study, writes Haryot Holt Ca
hoon in the New York Recorder. Nothing
suggests real feminine advancement more
fully than a cool demeanor on the part of
a woman when she receives a telegram.
The feminine nature is prone to be appre-
hensive Of danger and sorrow, and the
messenger boys have come to regard us
with cool masculine amusement and supe-
riority. l learn from one of these fateful
emissaries that a woman always tears q
message open in feyerish haste before sho
signs the book, a thing a superior mascu-
line recipient of one never does.
My neighbor received n telegram this
morning and tainted away in the hall
near the door of her apartment. The tele-
graph messenger summoned neighborly
sympathizers, and then became "a curious
and silent and contemptuous eyewitness
of what he plainly regarded as the queer
and inexplicable ways Of women A few
people ran in from the street, and some
bore camphor and smelling salts, and 9TH

Ny gentle neighbor revived eventually,
and the telegram that had tluttercd to her
feet was opened by the doctor. The patient
beheld him tear it open, and then. as he
unfolded il, she SWooned again. This story
is dragging itself out UNNECESSARILY, but
these things will happen in due succession
The message was from her husband and
it said, Gone to Philadelphia; back late
tonight"
Then everybody laughed at her and
threw water on her, and the doctor muir

A gossiper in the Fort Plain On. w
Standard tells the following story on that
enterprising citizen, Alfred Dodge of
Dolgeville, n. y. Most of my readers ,,
he says, are aware that Mr.. Dodge is
wealthy and that nearly all the mills and
great deal of real estate in the village
named for him are owned by him. OF
course, like every other place, Dolgeville
has person or two jealous of everything
and everybody, and particularly of their
townsmen who have prospered and grown
rich One Of these green eyed fellows held
especial luminosity against Mr.. Dodge and
all Of bis undertakings, and when the new
school building was erected in that village
ne was profuSe with sneers and bitter
comments. But when a stone bearing the
following was placed very conspicuously
in the structure the climax was CAPPED

hLASKA'S ICE BEAR.
An Accurate Description of 1t by Profess
or Dali of the Coal Commission.

When the government sent out com
mission to investigate the coalfields OF
Alaska, Professor W. \. Dali was made
one of the party. While the scientific men
were visiting the Mount st. Elias glaciers,
Professor Dali saw an animal he had new
or seen before 1t was a bear, but such o
bear as nobody in the party had ever seen
or heard Of They thought they had dis
covered an entirely distinct species. Pro
fessor Dali made an elaborate report Of all
the circumstances, together with ali The
information he could get from the natives
about the bear. This is his description:
1.-The general color of the animal resem-
bes that of the silver fox. The fur is not
very long, but remarkably soft and with a
rich under fur of blush black shade,
numbers of the longer hairs being white
or having the dstal part half white and
the bastal part slaty. The dorsal limo from
the tip of the nose to the rump, the back
of the very short ears and the outer faces
Of the limbs are jet black. Numerous long
white hairs issue from the ears; black ana
silver is the prevalent pelage of the sides,
neck and rump; the under surface of the
belly and the sinuses behind the limbs are
grayiSh white, or even nearly pure white,
am told, in some cases. The sides of the
muZzle and the lower anterior part of the
checks are of n bright tan color-a charac-
teristic | have not seen i'll any other Amer
lean bear, and this characteristic is said {,
be invariable. There is no tint of brown
elsewhere in the pelage. There is no tall
visible on the pelts. 9he claws are small.
very much curved, sharp, black above and
lighter below; the animal evidently can
climb trees, which the brown bear cannot
do

Going to Sleep.

IF you have never done SO, watch your

land you will be amazed to see how tense
your position is. Your knees are drawn
and Blended, your back is curved, the arms
are held more or less tightly To the body
and the fingers are folded The cyelids are
held shut, not allowed TO droop over the
eyes, the neck is strained and the head
seems TO touch the pillow only at the TEN
pies The points of contact with the bed
are really at the temples, shoulders, hips
knees and ankles. Now look at a child
sleeping. Every muscle is relaxed, every
joint is inert and prone on the couch; his
little frame finds rest at every point. The
features are undone, SO to speak, the nose
widenS, the mouth DROPS, the eyelids
close easily, and with every line of express
sion obllterated he finds utter and com
plete repose. The abandon makes him fall
out of bed sometimes such an inert body
has he become You may initiate him even
to that degree, if necessary. Begin at your
toes To relax, loosen all your joints and
muscles, unbend your fingers, shake your

is not the case. Sir John Lubbock and

Not a Popular Loan.

The letter of the President to Senator
sting of public censure for his supposed
attitude of unfair friendliness toward the
bond syndicate. He denies squarely any
understanding with the bond syndicate
relative to the proposed issue of bonds.
The disposition to take the President at
his word will be general, so far as regards
any definite arrangement with the syndi
cate. But to consider the proposed loan
as "a popular loan" would be wide of the
mark, and to think that the chances of
the syndicats's bid under existing condi-
tions arc not better than those of other
bids would be contrary to common sense.
Moreover it cannot be denied that the
terms of the offer are not such as to very
many seem best adapted for placing the
bonds directly with those who will event
ually buy them. Private individuals
would buy three per cent bonds at par
when they would not think of putting in
sealed bids, or entertain any notion that
their small bids if sent In would receive
favorable consideration in comparison
with bid from the syndicate Offering to
take the entire issue. OF course the
President had right to fix the price for
apopular loan as much as he did to fix
the price for the syndicate in that secret
deal last Fehruarv
1t is also suggested that if the President
had offered to agents. either private indi
viduals or national banks, an offer of
one half per cent for disposing of the
bonds at fixed price, the bonds could
have been easily placed and without dis
turbance There are other ways, which
seem superior to that prescribed by the
administration. Of course there is in
evitably in matter of this kind lot OF
cheap advice but ii should be remcm.
bered that several of these suggestions
are, in the opinion of capable ffnanciers.
much superior to the method adopted nv
the President. However free from syn.
dictate scandal the Presidents skirts NAV
be, it just now seems apparent that the
syndicate will, under the conditions offered
be the successful bidders, also that It has
