81 can't see how any fam Iy lives
without Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

Adams, a well known druggist, Of
Geneva, Ala, in letter inquiring the
price of dozen bottles, that he might
not only have it for use in his own
family, but supply it to his neighbors.
The reason some people get along with
out it is because they do not know it's
value, and what a vast amount of suf-
fering it will save. Wherever it be-
comes known and, used, 1t is recog-
nized as a necessity, for 1t is the only
remedy that can be depended upon for
bowel complaints, both for children

That st. Louis Judge, who scored a
juror, who came to excuse himself on
the ground that he was not a citizen,
had the matter down fine. BY ques-
tioning the party, the judge found that
he had been a resident of the city
twenty years, doing business in it and
being protected by its laws, whereup-
on the court plainly told him that a
country that was good enough for a
man to live in was good enough for
him no good. His strategy is under
more of this kind of talk needed in
our courts.

HOW SHE FIXED HIM.

One Way of DispOsinE of nm Obnox-
iOus Sutton.
He was Theatre lover, and she didn't
like his style little bit, says the New
York Sun.
He was constant in his devotion,
however, and that made matters worse.
She had tried gentle means TO get
rid of him, but he had disregarded
them with painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation
he felt it incumbent upon him to pro-
pose to her as men under similar cir
cumstances so often do.
Which they wouldn't If they had any
sense at all.
Dear one" he exclaimed, hurting
himself tragically at her feet, 81 love
you. My life is yours. Will you take
itP"
She did not look like murderess.
'Mr. Singleton" she responded, with
calm determination, II will"
He gazed at her raptuTously.
Don't do that" she begged, draw
ing back from him as if in horror. II
have taken your life, as you requested
me to do, and you are henceforth to all
intents and purposes dead"
He seemed dazed.
Il do not, Mr.. Singleton" she con-
tinued, turning aside, desire to have
a dead person in the house, and if you
do not go away at once 1 shall ring for
an ambulance and have you removed
to the morgue."
Then the dreadful situation in which
his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed him
self with promptness and dispatch.

Goldfish andLohsfers.

Goldfish is at the same price as 81
years ago. But even at this price the
fishermen of to-day are much bette off
than their predecessors of 40 years ago,
because food, clothing and all the nee
essaries of life are now from 80 to so
per cent. cheaper than 81 years since.
Take the articles of -four, butter, sugar,
tea, these are 40 per cent. cheaper
now than 40 years ago. Clothing of
all kinds rs 80 to 40 per cent cheaper
Luxuries and comforts once btyqpd the
reach " the fishermen are now within
their means There is another very inn
portant consideration favorable to the
fishermen Of to-day. Thirty years ago
the lobster fishery was unknown; now
it is worth 100000 annually SaEd che
price is steadily rising.-Montfeal Ca

"The writer is well acquainted with

every thing to make up wiuter re=o t
for all classes of PEOPLE wishing au al. .
sOlutely pe rfect climate. We trust the
day is not far distant when you will
have some enterprise party 10 put up
a magnificent IT hotel in youc town which
would not only increase the value of
