How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or from
an attack Of la grippe. During the
epidemic of la grippe few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of cold or
la grippe to result in that dangerous dis
ease. 1t is the best remedy in the world
for bad colds and la grippe. Every bot
tie warranted. For sale by Wamberg e.

Fargo Call: The Hope Pioneer says:
Judge Pollock decides that the jag
wagons running between Fargo and
Moorhead cannot be stopped, under the
law" The Pioneer is in error. The
judge recommended that in view OF the
testimony presented in the case in hand
that the case be dismissed. The next
violator brought into court may dis
cover that the jag wagon can be stopped
at least ninety days-so far as that
particular driver is concerned.

GOOD OLD TIMES.

There are no days like the good old
days
The days when we were youthful
When humankind were pure Of mind
And speech ana deeds were truthtul'
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion
And before each dame aud maid h'
came
81 the tyrant fashion!
There are no girls like the good old
girls
AGAINST the world IA stake'en.
As buxon and smart and clean OF heart
AS the Lord knew how to make en-!
They were rich in spirit and common
sense
A piety all-supportin';
They could ba &c and brew, and had
laugh; school, too,
AMI they made the liveliest courtn'
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together!
When the grass VS. sweet to the
brown, b IRE fcnt.
That dimplod the laughing heather !;
When the peNce sung to the summer
dawn
OF the bee in the Willowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-po"l-
will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old
love
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pihe
again
For tNa' precious gracc Good save
us.
So we dream and dream of the good
old times,
And our hearts grOwtenderer, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring sooth-
ing CLEANS
OF heaven away off yolder.
