CARRYING THE UMBRELLA.

Conclusive Opinions Formed by Your
Fashion of Doing 1t.
Two men who sat near the window of
q hotel in a great city few days ago
whiled away the time by watching the
women go by and commenting en- their
umbrellas.
The storm had abated about an hour
before, and the sun had peered through
a rift in the clouds, but. for all that.
the first pedestrian went stalking past
with her umbrella still held aloft.
"That women" said one Of the men,
"is as patient as Job. She is not stu
dent absent-mindedly porting over
book lore, but a housekeeper, who is
so taken Up with thoughts of what she
is going to get for supper that she
doesn't know it has stopped raining.
What is more. she is thoroughly unset
fish. People who forget to lower their
umbrellas when the sun begins to shine
always are That girl just behind her,
who has already taken time to fold her
umbrella neatly, even though it is
soaking wet, is going to be an old maid.
She is narrow-minded, too. The next
one has bound the folds down, but it
looks uneven and bulgy. That wom-
ans children will always look dowdy,
but she will nurse them successfully
through innumerable attacks of Group
and rash, and no family in town will
have better things to eat. That short
woman. with her umbrella Hopping this
way and that, will always be poor,
because she will give away everything
as soon as she gets it. Hers isn't al
together commendable generosity, ell
ther, tor it is caused more by lack Of
power to say mo- than by an inherent
desire to help her fellow-creatures.
That dark woman with the tip OF her
umbrella trailing downward and back
dard at an angle of As degrees is mali
cious. l wouldn't trust her out OF my
sight. She'd say something mean
about me the first chance she got. The
one who carries her umbrella swung
carelessly over her shoulder is hap
py-go-lucky individual, who will al
ways have good time, not because she
earns it, but because the world owes
it to her. and she is going to have her
rights"

A Sure Sign Of Group.

Hoarseness in child that is subject to
Group is sureindication of theapproach
OF the disease. Ii Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough has appeared, it will prevent the
attack. Many mothers who have croupy
children always keep this remedy at
hand and find that it saves them much
trouble and worry. 1t can always be
depended upon and is pleasant to take.

A CRITICAL Time.
During the Battle
Of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were All Reroes-Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 8, writ
ing from Santiago De Cuba on July 2Sd,
says: ''We all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor, for it
was case of rush and rush night and
day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain Colo, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, sim
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour
of our army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply OF
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa, and know in four cases
it absolutely saved life"
