About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old had an attack oi diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. gave it such remedies as are usually given in such cases. but as nothing gave relief, we sent for . physician and it was under his care for 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. Chamberlsins Collie, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed change for the better; by it's continued use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy. -C.L. Booes, Stump town, Gilmer Co.,, ". Va. For sale by W. H.

 Horses Than He Knew Before.
 This Cass avenue resident knows about as much of horses as he does of the technic of tiger hunting, but a few weeks ago he paid S200 for a S10o horse and since that has looked upon himself as an equine authority. Sun- day afternoon he was in the bay win dow enjoying his morning paper and cigar. Hearing a clickety-clickety- click on the asphalt, he looked out, glared, dropped his paper and eye glasses and dashed out as though he were going to pull fire alarm.
 Hi, therei Stop that teamT he shouted. "Haltr' And all the prone naders on the block obeyed, but the horse trotted along. "Ten dollars to the man who brings me that horse dead or aliver' whooped the citizen, now too much excited to be lucid. That internal liveryman has hired him out, and me paying the highest price for his keep. I'll show him! Ten dollars, dead or alive" in Richard III voice, flor that horsep
 A lusty bicycler grasped the situation and two minutes later had caught the bit of the horse. The man in the buggy protested, swore and threatened, but the grinning wheelman trotted the whole outfit back to the excited citizen.
 "Unhitch himr' he shouted. Some body will pay big money for thisl Call a patrol wagon. Whats your nameT
 Then the citizen turned pale and gasped:
 "Three white feet. My horse has but two, and he's smaller. My mistake, gentlemen and ladies'" for there was crowd now. Beg pardon" And he started for the house.
 But the man in the buggy jumped up and wanted to fight. The bicyclist de- manded his S10, and the crowd jeered. A policeman came in time to referee. The wheelman got his S10, the real owner of the horse accepted humble apology, and the liveryman raised the board the next day.-Detroit Free Press

The death of Deacon Samuel O. Conn occurred on Thursday. 17th. Born in the seventh year of the century he had lived until very nearly it's close, and most of his life has been spent in this village. Taking an interest in all pub- lie welfare, he gave of his time and money to forward any improvement. His opinion in important matters was considered valuable. Every body knew that Mir Conn would do and say what he thought right at all times. He was . member of the Cong'l Church for 6l years and held the office of deacon 26 years, giving generously to its support and b nevolences. Of late his faculties had become much impaired but every day he was seen upon the streets and at the stores-as he enjoyed being out until Sunday morning. 18th, by fall his hip was dislocated, and after . few days he passed away. The funeral was attended at the church on Saturday, 18th, and many friends followed the re- mains to the resting place beside his two wives. An aged sister in the West is the only surviving relative. On Sun- day morning Rev H. K. Job gave from the pulpit brief sketch of the life of Mir Conn, especially ss christian work or. speaking of his usefulness and the example of 6 noble life.

 ~o Store. Great Harrington, Mass.
Just One  Year
 Ago

To-day since we opened up this popular dry goods store.
 We are glad to say that our busi- ness has grown daily. The sales have gone up day by day, week by week and month by month.
 We hope to make our second year more successful than the first.
 With money any one can rent a store, put up signs, blow trumpets, but it takes more than money to do the kind of store keeping that is truly servicable to community. A store must have the possession of princi- pie, artistic taste, with an organiza- tion keeping-at-the-thing everlast- lngly, to have it right, because nothing less than right will do.
 Expectation can not be set to high for service at this store. The more people expect the better it will please us and the greater our efforts.
 Mere cheapness will not be the goal arrived at, because cheapness often times robs the buyers-by cut ting price-out of the quality.
 Store keeping here is to make connecting roads between the pro- duccrs and consumers and dis tributing only guaranteed goods at the VERY SMALLEST MARGIN of profit.
 There will be no mysteries, no evasions, no nonsense, but simple, straightforward business, doing the proper thing at the proper time.
 Mark well that when we adver- tise articles, prices, etc, we under estimate rather than exagcrate, be- cause we know that people can be fooled part of the time but not always.
 What we want is your confidence as anxiously as your trade, because if we get the former nothing will be wanting on our part to retain it.

have given banquet to his
negro slave hostler and invited
his own swell friends to be
present. Distinguished blue
blooded American army and
navy officers, distinguished
American civil officials, treated
with Aguinoldo and his fellows
exactly as if they had been re-
sponsible civilized white peo-
pie.
The mistake was a disastrous
though fortunately not a fatal
one.
The result was that the child
ish Filipino head was COM
pletely turned. The natives
began to think they were some
body, like white folks. Having
no more idea of the real power
of the United States than of
the complexion of the man in
the moon, they swelled up
like the frog that tried to be an
OK. Aguinaldo himself is an ig-
norant native. boy. Behind
him are men of mixed Chinese
blood, far shrewder. and more
capable than he. For their own
purpose-that of making a good
thing out of this fuss they egg
him and his deluded natives on
to fight the Americans. They
expected to be bought off hand
somely. Even treated with on
such an impossible basis, how
ever, the Filipino leaders
would not be quiet. To-day
there is in a Hongkong bank
the sum of 100000 which the
Spanish government paid
to cease fighting be-
fore the Americans came to the
Philippines. Aguinaldo took
the money, made his promise
and continued the insurrection
precisely as before. He had
no more regard for his word
than a guerrilla or profession
al politician has. This is the
gentleman and patriot whom
our American officers mistak-
emily took to their arms when
they came to Manila.
It is certain that if in the be-
ginning we had treated the
Filipinos like the irresponsible
children they are this insurrec-
ton would not have started.
As it is, the only thing now is
to give the "niggers," as they
are called here. a thoroughly
good beating till they are well
cowed, then treat them kindly,
but strictly as interiors, after
ward till they gradually learn
civilization. The sooner and
the more thoroughly the pun
ishment is administered the
better. The Filipinos may be
burned out and driven away
from a spot. but for a time they
will gather like flies again so |
soon as our army has passed
on, and they will fire from am
bush on the first peaceful
white traveller who passes that
way. Our army has driven
the rebels every step of the
way since it started in here

American institutions are
established in the Philippines.
1t has been a large conundrum
to the American people why
the Filipinos should break loose
and turn on their deliverers
after the Spaniards had been
Wiped out. The cause is to be
found in the. character of the
natives themselves. The Amer
lean government learns as it
goes along We made a mis-
take in the start in dealing
with the Filipinos. The mass
of them are no more civilized
than the savages of Africa.
Their character is that of an
irresponsible child. The Span
iards looked on them as south
ern planters looked on the ne
gro before the war. They were
as fit to be treated with polite
ally as a southern slave before
the war would have been.
When Dewey had orders to
lombard the Spanish forts
here, he was short handed of
men, coal and provisions. He
did the best he could under the
circumstances and accepted all
the help he could get from the
rebels. 1t was necessary. He
did the work he was set to do,
but turned Spanish prisoners
over to the rebels for safe keep
ing. He did it because he
could not keep them himself.
There are various and conflict
ing stories as to the way the
Filipinos treated their late mas
tiers. Some say they did the
best they could for them,
others that they paid off old
grudges by inhuman treat
ment.
At length the American land
forces came. The services of
the Filipino insurrectionists,
such as they were, were again
accepted. Ourgeneral officers,
no more than the American
people at home, knew the Flip
mos. Consequently they
chummed with them, treated
them az equals. The eyes of
the old Spanish residents fair
ly turned inside out with hor-
ror when they saw an Ameri-
can officer walking along the
street arm in arm with q Flip
inc. It was as if a member of
the New York Four Hundred
should introduce his valet at
his club, or if, again, q southern
planter before the war should
