What TO DO Until the Doctor Arrives

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany,
On. y dairyman called at drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with the Group.
Not finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on his return.
He also bought a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the doctor
should arrive In few hours he re-
turned, saying the doctor need not come,
as the child was much better. The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for it from that part of the country. For

Irwin A. Caughman, son of Geo. E
Caughman and wife Maria A. was
born July %, 1859, and died March
3, 1900, age 40 years, Z months and
10 days.
He was married to Jane r. E.
Keisler, July S, 1862 This union
was blessed with 8 children, 5 sons
and 8 daughters, all living. He be-
came a member of the church in
infancy by the rite of holy baptism.
In early youth he ratified his baptis-
NAL VOW by the act Of confirmation.
He was a faithful and CONSTANT
member of Cedar Grove b. L
Church until death. He suffered
much during his late Hines, but bore
it with chee1fulness and Christian
fortitude. he plowed and made pro-
vision for his family as long as he
lived, and when he saw that he must
die he was perfectly composed and
willing to leave it all in the hands OF
his Lord and Master. Thus a de-
voted husband, a loving father, a
good citizen and an active member OF
the church has passed beyond the
river of death. His funeral services
were conducted by Rev. E. l.. Ly-
brand, assisted by Rev. W. d. Roof.

has not paid the indemnity. The
American government has already
cstegorically refused such a com
promise, which would mean pro-
longed negotiations and the dragging
out of the matter indefinitely to
which the United States will not
listen. As regards the indemnity,
it is the nature of a debt OF honor.
If the porte wants to buy a cruiser
that is a matter in no way connected

The porte's reply to the last col

Why She Loved Him So.

TIE memoirs Of Jules Massenet
bring up al incident of his court
ship told by Coqlelin. 1t seems
that when Lisz', Sgambati and Mas
senet we're studing together in
Rome they al! became fascinated
with the daughter Of an a~ristocratic
F%renchman. The trio spent their
spare time composing and playing
themes to the obj-ct of their afec-
tions. One evening the young wo
man showed marked favor to Masse
net, and he proposed to her after
having asked her fathers consent.
He followed her to Paris in a few
days, where be was accepted by her,
and the marriage soon took place.
One day Massenet said to his bride
before a party of friends:
"My dear, do you remember the
day you first showed me that you
preferred me to Sgambati and L;sz!?'
Yes"
"Well, do you know, besides prov
ing to me that you loved me it also
gave me great ~ to know that you
believed I played so we'll, even ex
ceiling the others?"
"Oh, but it wasn't that answered
his wife quickly. ut was because
you played so badly that my love
went out to you"
1t is said that the great composer
never referred to the incident again.

United States Makes P%eremptory Cal!
on Turkey for Payment.
Constantinople, April 27.-The
American note handed to the Turk
ish minister of foreign affairs, Tewfk
Pssha, on Tuesday, is couched in
peremtoly terms, demanding imme-
date payment Of the indemnity
several times promised to Minister
Strauss by the sultan. The note
does not fix a time limit for an
answer, but it's tenor is not far from
the character of an ultimatum. It
has produced a great impression
upon the porte which, however,
shows no disposition to modify the
attitude hitherto maintained, name
~, repudiatipg the responsibility and
seeking to diminish the Importance
o. the matter. Il is presumed that
the porte's reply will be in this sense;
sad hence it is feared the United
States government will be obliged to
take steps to enforce its demands.
Turkeys decision to send an Off

struction is interpreted to be another
