An Accident Narrowly Averted.

Many parents on Christmas day
gave their sons air-rif1es which they
doubtless considered harmless, provid-
ing, the youngsters did not get hold OF
any shot which they could use for am
munition. OF course the unexpected
always happens in such cases and the
present proved no exception.
A number of young boys whose ages
ranged from six to eight years we're
playing soldiers, and each was provid-
ed with an air gun. One acted as cap
tain and the remaining three acted as
his escort walking some distance be-
hind The captain gave the word to
fire and his three trusty followers fred
away, with the result that the cap
tain hat was shot from his head. He
had not realized when he gave
the order to fire that he was in the
direct line OF the shot, and he narrowly
escaped what might have proved a
serious accident.

MISS DOUGLASS QUARTER,

Miss Douglass Quarter, of Louis
Vile, KY, is the one girl in all Amer
ica who decisively objected to going
through the process now popularity
known as "Hobsonization." She would
not be kissed. Miss Quarter stands at
the opposite extreme from Miss Ar
mold, of st. Louis, who won quick and
high fame by being the first pretty
girl to be ''smacked" by the hero of
Santiago bay. Now not to have been
kissed ia exceptional The gallant
lieutenant struck q snag when he went
to Louisville. The incident which has
given Miss Quarter such sudden pro-
minence occurred at MacCauley's
theater during Hobson's Louisville
visit. The young lady is the daughter

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get q 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 best?
II both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Cham berlani's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal to Chamberlani's Cough Re-
medy. For sale by all druggists.
