"Mr. Kimberley tells me that you are

after pause.
"The men think that I'm too much
so, sir"
Dewey regarded me with searching

"Why. what do they say?" he asked.
Boylike, iInpetuously anxious to learn
what manner of man | had to deal
with, blurted out:
''They say they want less book and

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor II you can
not get better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make Is the bestp
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain TO be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people

In m EN- ORlAM.

Mrs. Florence G. Robey died Tuesday
morning, July 10th, 1898. in Baltimore,
Md.
Such was the brief announcement
that brought sorrow to the hearts of a
wide circle of relatives and friends.
She was the daughter of the late AL
exander Crawford Of Augusta county,
and was one of large family of chill
dren, most of whom survice to mourn
the death of loving and devoted sis
ter. In Sept. 1886, at Orange, Va, the
home of her sister, Mrs. J. E. Morris,
she was united In marriage to the late
Townly Robey of Charles comfy, Md.
In the bright dawn of her womanhood
she gave her heart to her Saviour and
connected herself with the Presbyterian
church. Hers was consistent Chris
tian life, which adorned 1.-The doctrine
of God our Saviour in all things" None
doubted the genuineness and sincerity
of her faith. Bright in disposition,
straightforward in purpose, warm in
friendship, brave in adversely, and I'M
der every circumstance true to herself,
there were united in her the attributes
necessary to the formation of a wo-
manly woman, and this she was.
Whilst Florence Crawford Robey is
dead and has ''passed the door that
swings between Forever and Nomore."
She still speaks through her life and
chara cter, and rich heritage of fra
grant memor y is left Ter friends. c..
