A Cold.

1t was only a common cod. John had
had many worse cold and got over 1t.
This would wear of as the others had
done; so it was neglected and neglected
until steady pain came in the chest, and
slight, but not very distressing cough
became constant But John didn't mind
the pain-he ignored 1t, and went
with his work as though pain
meant nothing. After a time he
began to grow thin and weak, and an at
tack of dysentery compelled him to call
in physician. The physician discover
ed his condition, and by this time infltra-
ton was well advanced in the right lung.
Now the fight for life became serious,
and it all came from common cold that
taken at first could have been easily cured.
The physician, being an experienced
practitioner, recommended Downs E.
lixir, and John used it faithfully and pull
ed through; but how much better it
would have been had John bought a bot
tie of the Elixir at once, and taken dose
on going to bed and walked up the next
morning clear as whistle.
In view of the fact the season of colds
aud coughs is now at hand, we call the
attention of our readers TO the adyertis-
ment of Downs Elixir, which will be
found in another column.

TOLD OF FAMOUS MEN.

Richard Wagner, as O student, was
extremely egotistic. He usually said
1T is" or ut is not" instead of IT
think" or II believe" One of his
phrases was; "Richard Wagner says

sive phrase was; "You think; KNOW"
Voltairc and Piron were enemies. To
their embarrassment they met one day
at the country house of friend. Piron
got up early, went to Voltaire's door
Ind wrote upon 1t the word Rogue"
At breakfast Voltaire smilingly said to
him: II thank you for showing your In
terest in my welfare by leaving your
card at my door this morning."
Coleridge, the poet, was an awkward
horseman. Once riding along the turn
pike road in the county of Durham he
was accosted by a man who had been
watching the rider: II say, young man,
did you meet tailor on the road ?"
Yes" replied the poet whose middle
name was Taylor, II did; and he told
me If l went a little farther should
meet goose"
The late Henry o. Houghton, the pub
fisher, sold that when in England he

POLICEMEN IN OTHER LANDS.

The German policeman is ubiquitous
and autocratic and ill-advised persons
who fail to carry out his instructions to
the letter are sure to suffer.
A great deal is expected of the Paris
Ian police besides keeping order. They
are obliged to keep records of residents
and oversee STRENGTHENING and public
vehicles.
Nearly all German policemen are old
soldiers. Each bears sword and is not
at all backward in using it, view Of
duty whichis supported and encouraged
by the higher authorities.
The Paris policeman's chief work is
controlling crowds and incipient riots,
Of such frequent occurrence In the
French capital. His weapon is short
sword bayonet, which hangs at the side
of his belt.
Policemen in the Fatherland are pro-
teeted almost beyond the possibility of
conviction by what is called Dienst- Ed
Or service-oath, which practically means
that TO disprove a policeman's story
you must find six independent witness

PERSONAL MENTION.

Ruskin has squandered in good deeds
fortune of $3.50, 900, and his present in
come depends almost wholly upon the
royalties of recent popular edition OF
his works.
Only the other day story was cir
culated to the effect that Kipling was to
receive Is cents word for new story
to be printed in London magazine.
Now it is said that two American edit
ors have combined to take $4,000 words
at double that price.
Susan B. Anthony began to make
stump speeches for the cause of aboli-
ton in 1853, the year Mrs. Lease was
born. After her first speech Miss An
thony started out over the country, and
this first speech Of hers is said to have
raised a greater eommotion than any
of the Kansas lady's.
Patti is writing "reminiscences in
which she says she was born in 1874 and

the office of Lieut.. Governor, which
gave him considerable prestige, he
personally canvassed the Legislature
and claims that he has large ma
jority of the members pledged to him.
Promises without number are said to
be one of the strongest features in
Col. Mansur's work for the collector
ship.
If the argument that an old soldier
should have the Office is to be extern
sively used, and of course it is, it is
wei! to remember that there are other
old soldiers beside Col. Mansur.
For instance, there is Gen. Howard,
one of the generals of the war and
there are others.
If the Vermont delegation in con-
gress had the opportunity to get out
and touch shoulders with the rank
and file of Republicans of Vermont
those who have signed the petition OF
Col. Mansur among others, there
would be no danger of the appoint
ment of either Mansur or Benedict.
The News would like to see man
recognized who has worked for the
party and whose business ability will
warrant the expectation of a first
class administration of affairs; and
one who has not fed at the public
crib for quarter of century or
more.-Randolph Herald.
The Express and Standard of
Newport, published by Theophlus

case Mansur gets the plum, Grout is
to be appointed deputy,-Bellows

Farmers To Be Protected.

A Washington special says: The
republican leaders propose to fulfill
their campaign pledges to the farmers
of the country by general increase in
the tariff rates on all agricultural pro-
ducts While the republican members
of the ways and means committee have
not yet formally drafted the agricultu-
raj schedule of their new tariff bill,
they have practically agreed upon most
of the items.
With the exception Of cattle nearly
every farm product in the schedule
will be restored to practically the Nc
Kinley rates. The duty on cattle,
which is 20 per cent ad valorem under
the present law, and which was SO
per head on cattle over one year and
50 per head on cattle one year old or
under, in the Mckinley act, but will
be high enough to keep out most of the
Mexican cattle, which under the pres.
ent law are brought into the United
States to be fattened in Kansas and
neighboring states Def re being sent to
market. While the cattle raisers of
Texas are to be given only part of
the protection they enjoyed under the
Mckinley law, the growers Of barley,
hay, hops, beans and other products
with which similar product in Canada
come into competition are to have re-
turn to the old Mckinley rate on most
articles.
There is to be a return to the Nc
Kinley protection of five cents per doz-
en- on the eggs from Canada. Butter
and cheese makers of New York are
also to have the duties on those pro-
ducts increased from four cents per
pound to six cents, and the raisers of
vegetables, whose principal competition
comes from the early vegetables grown
in the Bermuda islands, are to have a
substantial return to Mckinley protec-
ton.
