Presently it came to the hole, but without bolting, sat quite still upon the hither side. Thinking that it was dy- ing, erept up cautiously and stretched out my hand to seize it. The next instant I received one of the sharpest shocks ever experienced; for on the other side of the hole, within four feet of my face, like some child of evil magic, there rose up suddenly the larg- est cobra that have ever seen.

This remedy is intended especially for
coughs, colds, Group, whOoping cough and
influenza. 1t has become famous for its
cures of these diseases, over a large part OF
the civilized world. The most flattering
testimonials have been received, giving ac-
counts Gifts good works; of the aggravating
and persistent coughs it has cured o. severe
colds that have yielded promptly to its
soothing effects, and of dangerous attacks
of Group it has cured, often saving the life
of the child. The extensive use of it for
whooping cough has shown that it robs
that disease of all dangerous consequences.
1t is especially priced by mothers for their
children, as it never fails to effect a speedy
cure, and because they have found that
there is not the least danger in giving it,
even to babies, as it contains nothing in
j%uIious. Sold by Sweetens'

School Course Changed.

County School Superintendent Dunn
has changed the course of examination
in the public schools. Heretofore third
and second and first grade certificates
have been given, the first grade being
a county diploma OF graduation. Now
the diplomas given will be for a gram
mary school course. The grammar
course is about equal to the former
second grade certificate while the high
school diploma will require all the
studies heretofore given in a post grad
uate curse after passing the first
grade. This will be a disappointment
to those pupils who expected to grad
uate with a first grade county diploma
this year, as it will require another
year of study to finish the heretofore
post graduate curse before they can
get the high school diploma.

Philadelphia, Monday, February'27, 1899.
Did you ever consider the fact
that this one store sells nearly a mil
lion pairs of shoes in a year?
That means something to YOU
something in dollars if you buy
your shoesahere, because we certain
ty can make safe economies in the
gathering of SO many shoes.
Once in awhile we find that it
helps to changeo our stocks quite rad
ically. If this store ever got into
fruts it would stop growing. Soawe
take prettysbig money losses at times
for the help they bring in a made
new store. s"s'o .
