that cold or cough is a seed of disease
and in its final Towering often shows the
hectic tints of consumption. OF all people
who die daily, one-sixth are victims of
consumption. And of that great army
of victims it is probable that hardly one
need have persisted had the disease been
taken in time. But the victims stood still
and let themselves be bound day by day
a little firmer to this cruel disease, and
when they awoke to their danger there

member that if it were Gust as good

no object for substitution. Why not get
what you have chosen instead of letting

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
The "Pale Horse" And Its
Rider.

In the middle ages men racked their
brains to invent barbarous forms of pun
ishment Just as in Nero's time I'M
happy Christians were martyred as a
public spectacle and the gladiators
'butchered to make Roman holiday,
so in these latter times punishment was
inflicted to amuse the public, and the
cruelty of the punishment often added
to the pleasure of the populace. To see
a man tied to the streaming tail of some
unframed horse and dragged to death by
the wild creature, was rare spectacle
and was sure to draw a good turnout
and increase the popularity of the gov
erning power which provided such cheap
and harmless(D amusements for the peo-
pie. Can we imagine any man voluntarily
submitting himself to be tied to the horse
and dragged and kicked to death? Such
a thing would be incredible. And yet
men are standing still, unresisting, while
every day time is binding them faster
and faster to that pale horse" whose
rider is death.
One of the earliest things we are taught
as children is that the mighttest things
are only minute things in aggregation
and combination; that

SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use Without
Failure.

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness. and in Il child subject to
that disease it may be taken as sure
sign OF the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thou
sand homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet TO learn of single
instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
show such IA record twenty-five years
constant use without a failure. For

Was 1t Murder?

We retired at just 1915 last night.
and had been asleep perhaps two
hours when we were awakened by IA
ring at the door bell. We donned our
pants and went to the door. We
found Il woman. She said: want
you to accompany me on an import
ant mission and ask no questions
We naturally thought we Ina struck
an escaped lunatic- Come in, we said:
and let's talk about it. She entered
the hall in which the electric light
was burning and we saw that she was
stylishly dressed and heavily yelled.
We asked her to raise her veil. She
did so and we saw one of the most
beautiful faces we have ever gaZed
upon. Any one with the least knowl-
edge of human nature could see that
it was the face of pure woman and
an honest one. We said. now explain
yourself. She replied: Il cannot.
You must trust me and ask no ques-
tions. No harm can befall you and
you can bring brutal murderer to
Justice" We became interested and
concluded to take chances on being
slugged on procuring fist class
item. We awoke our wife, informed
her of the situation; finished dress
ing, put our 45er in our pocket, ard
went out into the night with the
mysterious lady. Not word was
spoken until we reached a point on
the southside track, near the old well,
when we stopped and the lady point
ing her finger i'm the direction of an
abandoned shaft, said: ''Look!" We
saw man STOPPING over the PROSTATE
form of woman. The lady by my
side said: ''That man is my husband.
He abandoned me in the east; came
here and married another woman
three years ago. Tonight 1 came
here, confronted him, and we started,
a he SAID, to his boarding house; you
see the rest" As she finished speak
ing the vicinity OF the forms seemed
to light up, and as the man turned
towards us we recognized a well
known citizen of high standing in
this community. We saw the face of
woman also. 1t was the counterpart
of the one at our side. We turned to
speak to her, but she was gone. We
were alone and the truth dawned up
on us. We had been accompanying
the spirit of the murdered woman.
For moment we were confused, but
recovered our senses and determined
to capture the man. Drawing our
gun we commanded him to throw up
his hands. Instead of doing so he
pointed the pistol he held in his har
at us and fired. He continued to
snoOt and walked toward u.s. We
then weakened and started to run,
calling loudly for help as we ran. 1t |
seemed that our feet were like lead. |
and we could make no Roadway. He i
was about to grab us, when a voice at |
our side said: "Herc, old man, turn |
