In the spring the birds are singing

In the spring the birds are singing
AS they build their summer home,
Blades of grass and buds are springing,
O'er the mead the cattle roam.
In the spring your blood is freighted
With the germs that cause disease,
Humorous, boils, are designated
Signals warning you Of these.
In the spring that tired feeling
Makes you every duty shirk,-
Makes you feel like begging, stealing,
Rather than engage in work.
But there's something known that will a
Man to health and vigor lead.
You will find Hoods SarsaparilIa
Just exactly what you need.

What to DO Until the Doctor Arrives.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An AL
bany IN. " dairyman called at n
drug store there for IA doctor to come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come mt once on
his return. He also bought bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some re-
lief until the doctor should arrive. In
a few hours he returned saying the
doctor need not come, as the child was
much better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto
Scholz, says the family has since re-
commended Chamberlains Cough
Remedy to their nelghbors and friends
until he has a constant demand for 1t
from that part of the country. For

GOOD JOKE.

Especial Correspondence.)

Lake, Feb. PA simple mistake
caused me no end of trouble and
amusement here last week, and as all
the parties connected with ii are now
in the best of humor, and are telling
it to everybody who wishes to listen,
it will not come amiss to give it an in
sertion in the Times-Democrat.
One fine day of last week, John Ren-
ner@had occasion to visit DR. Smith Of
Hartville, and on his way passed the
residence of Peter Kaufman. Mr..
Kaufman on learning that Rcnncr was
going TO Haltvillc, asked him to take
along $3.50 and pay ii to Jake Splitter
and to take a receipt for it. Mr.. Rem
ner obligingly consented TO the ar
rangement but understood that
Kaufman wished TO pay the money to
DR.. Smith instead of Splitter and ac-
cordingly gave it TO the doctor, and
dohNu IOi ltttlltts
that he did not think Kaufman owed
him anything, but would receipt the
amount and consult his books, which
he did.
Renner then went back and gave the
receipt to Kaufman without saying a
word. Pete, thinking everything set
tied used the receipt, without looking
at it, to light his pipe. The next day
Mr. Splitter appeared and demanded
$3.50 of Kaufman which Kaufman
Indignantly refused to pay, supposing
of course, Renner had paid it the day
before, and for which he had secured
receipt. Splitter thereupon became
angry and threatened to have both
Kaufman and Renner brought be-
fore Il bar of Justice, SO TO placate him,
they both sought Renner and when an
explanation was made, Mr.. Renncr
paid splitter the $3.50 and then they
all went 10 Smith, who, after giving
to each one n sedatiyc powder, paid
over the amount and Joined heartily

part.
