Marie COrGni's New Story.

Marie Corelli, for the first time
in five years, has written a story
for an American magazine. The
"Laurels of the Brave is the title
of bitter, brilliant, timely story
which she has just finished for
The SATURDAY EVENING Posi-, of
Philadelphia. It deals with the
South African War Charities, and
handles without gloves the "Soci-
ETY. Department. of the English
War Office and the women who,
for advertising purposes, are DON
ming khaki.
The "Laurels of the Brave, "
superbly illustrated by Harrison
Fisher, will appear in The SATUR-
DAY EVENING Posi- of April IA.

after much hunting, found his old
straw hat, and quietly left the

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
A Few Facts Concerning the Guaranty
 Bond and Investment Co.

In today's Graphic will be seen the first official bulletin and monthly statement of the Guaranty, Bond and Investment Company, live corpora lion organized eight montbs ago by Wm. Burke, Chas. senyard and D. C. Bell, ;hree well known active. en- ergetic business men of this city The state nent is very hattering one, showing that the volume of business already done, justifes the belief that the affairs of the company have been ably managed, and that the system is amply qualified with the requirements of all financial suecesses-popular favor
 This company affords opportunities to the frugal for the investment of their savings, and advantages to the wealthy for the further accumulation of their surplus that are rarely met with, and which deservedly command their attention and consideration
 The company issues a contract or certificate of investment-a bond for which the investor pays s1.00 membership fee and thereafter a monthly installment of S100 during the existence of the contract. These bonds are issued in numerical order beginning with No. l, and they are retired or paid off in the same order by the expenditure of fixed percen- tage of the moneys received from monthly installments, the company guaranteeing to each bondholder that not more than one hundred and twenty installments shall be required before reaching redemption. The re- turn to the investor upon the retire. ment of his bend is an amount equal to the sum of monthly installments paid in, plus 50 per cent additional. This return is guaranteed, and as the company is a capitalized corporation and not a mutual association, the full iillment of its contracts is not depend ent upon lapses or forfeitures alone, but positively provided for by it's Reserve Fund and capital stock The interest-working power of the compa- ny which constantly and continually increasing with mathematical certain ty. It's business is no longer an ex- pertinent, but pronounced success, and as such we gladly commend it to the public.

 It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany fN. Y.) dairyman called at drug store there for q doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought bottle of Chamberlain Congh Remedy which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist. Mir.
