ular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She

the remedy and after giving it fair trial
if she did not find it worth the money to

or two the lady came back in company
with friend in need OF cough medicine
and advised her to hny bottle Of Cham
berlains Cough Remedy. l consider that
a very good Recommendation for the rem

At Cooper Union Hall, in New York
City. on Sept. 2sta, Carl SEIZURE. the
well known statesman and patriot,
made a great speech to $1,000 people,
who were greatly entertained and en-
thusiastic over his discussion of the

In bringing his magnificent speech to
close, he has this to say:
Lastly. 1t IL said that if we yolun-
tarily give up the subjugation Of the
Philippines we shall lose our prestige
in the world. All, yes! We shall, in
deed. lose our prestige with the land
robbers; our prestige with the OPP
pressOrs of weak peoples; our prestige
with the swash-bucklers who are con-
stantly spelling for a fight; our prest-
ige with the scoffers at democraticin in
stitutions; our prestige with the de-
voices of despOtic rule, Yes, with
them our prestige will be irretrievahly
gone. We shall even be in danger bf
being regarded the world over as an
honest people: rs just, generous,
noble and liberty-loving people; as a
people Of such moral greatness that
in spite of the Intoxicating seductive
ness Of victory it may he counted on
always to listen to It's conscience, and
to overcome all false pride in repair
ing IL wrong done, and in vindicating
It's high principles; a people SO truth
ful that it's word can always be be-
lieved; people SO upright that the
powers Of the world will feel instinct
lively inclined to trust it as the safest
general arbiter in the peaceful adjust
ment Of their differences. Here are
tile two kinds of prestige. one of which
we may lose, and the other of which
