About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had
an attack ofdiarrhoea accompanied
by vomiting. l gave it such reme-
dies as are usually given in such
cases, but as nothing gave relief,
we sent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this
time the child had been sick for
about ten days and was having
about twenty five operations Of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon
obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recon
mended, and | decided to try it. l
soon noticed change for the bet
ter; by its continued use a COM
plete cure was brought about and
it is now perfectly healthy.-C. l..

Unconditional Surrender

From the Detroit Free Press.
 She laughed lightly, and then asked him how he knew it.
 "Know it!' he responded, with an uely sheer, know 1t? Do you think I am deaf. dumb and blind, and idiotic? Doesn't he put in half his time here? Doesn't he send flowers nearly every day? Isn't he getting hunchbacked scorching back and forth by my office window on Woodward avenue just to show that he comes and goes here as he pleases? I'm getting so I can't attend to business. Now, l want this thing settled for good and all!'
 "I thought it settled" said she, demurely, as she twisted her engagement ring so that the glitter of the diamond met the gilt ter of his eyes You're not jealous, are you, Tom, dear?"
 Dear nothing! If was as dear as you pretend you'd keep that fellow away from the house if you had to hang out small pox flag. Of course I'm jealous. And only wish that modern usage permitted me to is- sue challenge. 1 can't stand this uncer- tainty any longer, and want you to make final choice between us!'
 Then she told him few things in very rapid tone of voice, and the result was to so temper his wrath that she began to plead instead of dictate, and when she insisted upon returning the ring he walked back ward to the front door, protesting as he went, and then made his escape. Now the dread rival, who was really seeking her good offices in an attempt to win sister, and her mother are preparing a peace pros tocol which is unique in the fact that it provides for the total and unconditional surrender of both parties Yet it is inti- mated that both are anxious to sign

%. The Tragedy of Ponce


The little head moved, and the tiny lips
 parted and a wall was heard. And the
 mother said, fondly: "Do you hear that
 Jaccques? He can cry already. Has he
 not lovely voice?' And again Jacques
 answered "Yes." What else was there to
 be said? Nothing, most certainly, nothing. There was red wine and white wine on the table that night, and joy in the La Duke home. For had not a son and heir been born? What more could be desired? But La Duke before he slept that night
 made some mental calculations. There was the doctor to be paid and there were many
 other things, and lastly, another mouth to feed. It was small, but in time 1t would grow, and also the appetite. Mon Dieu! there were many things. Well, there must be fewer high heeled shoes. silken dresses,
 and less of the red wine. This was seri-
 ous matter after all, and long and deeply Jaccques pondered and wondered. wall

Her | first born slumbered by her side. and 1t was | contentment enough to look at the tiny one. No more thoughts of gay Paris, the | garden or the fountains.

The Champion Snake Story

From the southern home of Senator Quay, says the Baltimore American, comes the following letter from a veracious cor- respondent:
 z Being an ex-soldier and having only fif- teen months to serve to acquire a title to a quarter section of land, went to Florida in 1885 to put my plans into execution. Not being posted as to the land marks, had to hire settler to locate the land for me, and as we had to go about- eight miles through woods over bad roads, with no bridges, we went horseback, and in cross ing a stream I noticed that my friend 8 horses tail caught in an old pine stump, pulling hair from the tail and leaving the hair fast to the stump.
 ''As you know, horsehair will turn to a snake when in water, and made up my mind to watch that particular hair. So after locating my land and getting a log house built took my gun and started out on hunt, and during my rambles I came to the stream that my friend and I had crossed, and, sure enough, there was the horsehair snake as big as my thumb and over four feet long, As he was fast to the stump let him alone and continued my hunt, bagging some quail, a rabbit and two squirrels, which gave he a good mess of fresh meat. As was very busy for the next three weeks I had no time to visit my pet snake. SO you may judge of my surprise, when, on my next visit, to

find the snake big as a stovepipe and over forty feet long, As I was going to have log rolling the next week I kept my secret so that we could have some fun after we were through our days work. I got everything ready and sent out my n- vitations My friend that showed me land came with the rest of them, and told me that his horse was lost or stolen. We all pitched in and did a good days work and had good dinner. told them my secret and we went to the branch. You can im- agine our surprise when we found the snake as big as a saw log with a bulge in the middle as big a sugar barrel.
 Well, to make long story short, we killed the snake and cut him open, and our friends lost horse tumbled out. We thought the horse was dead until he com- menced to move, and soon ran around all right, and my friend rode him home. l have heard great deal about horsehar snakes, and this is the only instance know of where a horse was swallowed alive by hair from his own tail''

He Goes to Europe to Buy Old Riddles

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 People who pass the windows of a large music store on Wabash avenue are attract ed by the display of baskets full of chips and fragments of the old fiddle family. They are dull decrepit, rusty-looking, worm-eaten and cracked bits of wood mere slivers and slabs that have been col lected from the dusty floors of old attics in far away lands. These unattractive bits of wood have large money value, however, as they can be skilfully joined and reassem- bled to make violins that have the genuine, rich tonal qualities of age. As Chicago is the only city in America where such an ar- tistic redivivus is attempted or accomplish ed, 1t becomes matter for local pride and interest in a unique industry. These chips and fragments of former musical glory are not mere aotsam and jetsam carelessly ac- cumulated and cast up in this show window As mournful memory, for they represent long travel, patience, shrewdness and diplo- macy. There Is one Chicago man, Jay c. Freeman. who goes abroad every year, rambles over Germany and through Italy, sighting out likely spots for old violins, just as a hsharman looks fer likely places for

 It was early in the fifties that La Duke. senior. came from Canada and settled near the little town of Marinette, Wis.

Courage begets confidence, and cheerily La Duke started out on his new life. But money was scarce and work seemed even scarcer. The wolf hoyered near the La Duke household and at times boldly entered the little home Still there was a little work and there was soup. bread and on rare occasions little wine But water was oftener on the table than the black coffee, or the wine, red or whlte vraiment! water is plentiful. "God is good" said La Duke, and still hoped. But Madame La Duke sighed at times and thought of Paris. It was de- lightful on Sundays When the sun shone through the trees in the gardens, and tinted the falling spray in the fountains was that not a sight? And sometimes a ramble out in the country. Once she had been as far as Vernon. That was the great event in her life the great event until she crossed the ocean and came to Canada
 It was in Quebec she had seen her hus- band. "Le beau Jacques" he was then T2,,tf times had Yet she thought of them and at times thought of the high heeled shoes and slken petticoat Jaccques promised her when times were better But mon Dieu," said Jacques, times are not yet better. Have courage ma cherie, they are to come" Some years passed and the La Dukes still lived and still hoped. Things were brighter by and by and one day madame found her high heeled shoes and silken petticoat. She was happy and again sang all day.
 But she wanted something else.
 CHAPTER IT.
 The doctor was sent for in hurry one day and Le Beau Jaccques hovered around anxiously.
 He was waiting and hoping.
 'Everything Is all right MT. La Duke" said the doctor as he passed by He was rubbing his hands briskly and seemed full of contenment Le Beau Jaccques envied him. Your wife is doing nicely and the boy Is charming. Charming, my dear sir, charming. Good morning. my dear sir, good morning" and the doctor walked briskly away, humming tune.
 And so Alexander. he who was afterwards court martialed and imprisoned for life, was born.
