consultation together, they will give
you the best advice that can be taken. y
When you have bad cold DIR. lncli-
nation would recomend Chamberlain
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DR.. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect permanent cure. DR.. Reason

Music - the GraPhephone.

Few people appreciate the marvellous
powers of the Graphophone as an enter
tainer. 1t is an instrument which,
though it costs much less than the least
expensive musical instrument, willenable
its owner to have at pleasure music of
any kind-from that of a bag pipe to that.
of grand military band. 1t reproduces'
vocal selections and gives one command
of every pleasure that appeals to the
sense Of hearing. No investment pays
such large returns in pleasure. Besides
reproducing the musical and other rec
ords made for entertainment purposes,
the Graphophone will record immediate
ly and reproduce at once and as often as
Is desired, your own words or song, or
any sound. By writing to the Columbia
Photograph Co., 72O-722 Olive ST., ST.
Louis, Mo-, you can obtain q catalogue
that will give full information as to prices
of GIaphophone outfits.

PATHETIC ADVERTISEMENT
Albert Griffin Makes an Ap-
peal.

The following appeared in Topeka
paper yesterday:
acknowledgement that willenable
me to procure the necessaries OF life also,
n,,rchasers for my book, THE Key Note. y
Pr;ce. library edition 81 so; cloth $1.OO;
paper 5Ocents. Albert Griffin, GA Jack
son ST., Topeka.
Albert Griffin, who addresses this pa
thetic appeal to the public, has been
brought to his present condition by his
independence of thought-his refusal to
be bound by party will. He came to
Kansas during the territorial period, a
radical Free State man, and has been an
advocate of advanced political doctrines
throughout his life. While he never was
a money maker he earned good living
and was a force in public affairs until
prohibition was fastened upon the state
That was the rock which wrecked his
fortunes. He advocated the new reform
as he had advocated abolition a quarter
of century before, but it was not SO
practical, and when he went beyond the
limit of party endurance, he was ostra-
cised He sold his newspaper, he Man.
haitian Nationalist, and went east as the
head of the anti-saloon league, an organ
ixatiou that was intended to be auxiliary
70 prohibition. But if failed of its pur-
pose, and place was made by President
Harrison for Mr.. Griffin at Washington.
BY the election of President Cleveland,
was thrown out of place and he return
ed 70 Kansas. But he had lost his hold,
AMI was too old to make a new start.
He worked at the printers case, wrote
an | soil books, lectured, etc, to make
living. 1t was hard lines, but he bore his
troubles uncomplainingly, and always
was the quiet, dignifed gentlemen that
nature made him. Finally, the free silver
issue came up, and Mr.. Griffin allied him
self with the movement. He went into
it by the Free Silver Republican door, but
while he has not been confessedly Pop
ulist, he has acted with that party since
,he election of Governor Leedy. He
started an administration paper at To-
neka but soon broke with the admins
tration, and his paper suspended.
Brave to the last.-Kansas City Star.
