Owing to over-crowding and bad
ventilation, the air of the school
room is~often close and impure,
and teachers and pupils frequently
suffer from lung and throat trou-
bles. To all such we would say,
try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
For coughs, colds, weak lungs and
bronchial troubles no other remedy
can compare with it. Says A. 9.

GUESSING AT SPAIN.
What May Follow the Fall of the Late
Ministry.

w Ihsty EoiioW the ~ s.AS N~.-'~
Ministry.
A dispatch says that Minister
Woodford has not yet informed the
state department of tho. cabinet
change in Spain. The main point
of interest here at present is the
composition of the new cabinet,
and it is expected that Mr.. Wood
ford will not neglect to cable the
earliest information possible.
Diplomats familiar with Spanish
politics say~~that circumstances
point to one of two results, name
ly: The complete collapse of the
conservative regime, which has
been responsible for the Cuban
policy, and its succession by q
liberal cabinet with pacific and
conciliatory tendencies toward
Cuba; or else a traditional ministry
with Azcarraga again at the head
as a temporary expedient to tide
over affairs until the cortes can
meet, when permanent and stable
ministry can be formed.
The feeling that Sagasta is to be
the coming permier either at once
or after the transitory ministry re.
tires, leads toimany favorable com
ments onvhis ability by those who
know him personally. A leading
American diplomat, one who has
been conspicuous in Spanish
American affairs, said to day tina
Sagasta's assumption of Office un
doubtedly would have an immedi
ate effect upon the Cuban question
and the relations between the Unit
ed States and Spain.

The scheme of stopping march
ing on public highways to prevent
crime is one of the great possibili-
ties. You might enjoin a night
political parade of the opposition
on the theory that the marchers
would violate the liquor law by
drinking after IL o'clock. And If
the marchers insist on their right
to march on public highway the
sheriff may proceed to shoot them,
because they contemplate, in his
opinion, violation of the law or
the order of tho court.-Indian-

Hard on Society Women.

The Rev. Sam Jones scorches
the society women in the following
language: y
"When God gives a man wife
and six children He has done o
great deal for that fellow. But
when He gives him society wo-
man and poodle He has thrown
off on him. These society women
look upon children as nuisance.
l have HAD some of these little old
society women shake hands with
me. l had as soon shake a dead
fish's tail. l wouldn't give one cf
your old sock darning women for
all the society women in the coun-
try. Between cutting off the top
of their dress for the ballroom and
the bottom for the bicycle these
society women will soon have no
clothes left. A man said to a soci-
ETY. woman. Il hope I'll see more
of you She said. Come to the
ball tonight Some people say
you shouldn't speak this way te-
fore mixed audiences. You ride
the bicycle before mixed audiences.
You old sisters wear a high collar
close around your necks-that's
modest and corely. But deliver
me from the society women who
button their collars around their
waists. You preachers don't talk
that way, do you? Yon talk about
the sweet bye and bye. You ought
to talk about the nasty now and
now"
