"One day last winter lady came to my

medicine that | did not have in stock, says
Mr.. c. r. Grandin, the popular druggist of
Ontario, n. Y ''She was disappointed and
wanted to know what cough preparation
could recommend. | said to her thar / could
freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and that she could take bottle of
the remedy and after giving it a far trial if
she did not find it worth the money to bring
back the bottle and l would refund the
price paid. In the course of IL day or two
the lady came back in company with a
friend in need of a cough medicine and ad-
yised her to buy bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. l consider that very
good recommendation for the remedy"
The remedy owes its great popularity and
extensive sale in large measure to the
personal recommendation of people who
have been cured by its use.

is nothing so good as Chamberlain's Pain

LITERARY NEWS AND NOTES.

"A Forgotten Transcendentalist" is
the title of valuable chapter of remin
iscence in the October number of the
New England Magazine, in which Mr..
Charles S. Fobes tells the story of
Robert Bartlett of Plymouth, gifted
Harvard scholar, who, two generations
ago, was active in the beginning of New
England transcendentaliSm,
Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin has never
done more clever and delicious story
than '.Penelope's Irish Experiences
(the third and, alas! the final group of
delightful Penelope papers,, which be-
gins in the November Atlantic and is
to continue through six numbers. It
is said that since Penelope's return
from Scotland, she has made a complete
conversion to Irish ways, and enters in
to Celtic humor as if born to the sod.
The November number of The Smart
Set certainly sustainS the statement of
the publishers that it is magazine of
cleverness." Many of the contributions
to the November number are not only
clever but brilliant The list is a long
one. Among the contributions which
are bound to attract attention is ''The
Errors of Society,"" by the Rev. Braddin
Hamilton, the well-known Newport
clergyman, who writes fearlessly of the
''errOrS" as he sees them.
The Rudder for October has supple
ment, a fine picture of a close finish be-
tween the raceabollts Raider, Snapper
and Colleen. The Raider is a new C.
II. Crane boat, and the others last
years Boston boats. Commenting on
the racing of the class, the Rudder says:
1.-THE result of the seasons racing has
seemed to show that these boats have
now reached point where it is hard to
improve on the design to any great ex-
tent, and that the boats a season OF two
old can, by careful tuning up and good
handling, be made to stand very good
chance of winning against new boat"

ly and fully..treated in The Art Amateur.

papers, among them being the follow
