IT HAPPENED In A DRUG STORE,

Zone day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked for brand of
cough 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 I could rec
ommend. said to her that could
freely recommend Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and that she could
take a bottle of the remedy and after
giving it fair trial it she did not find
it worth the money to bring back the
bottle and I would refund the price
paid. In the course OF day or two
the lady came back in company with
friend in need of cough medicine
and advised her to buy bottle OF
Chamberlains Cough Remedy. Icon
slider that very good recommendation
for the remedy" The remedy owes
its great popularity and extensive sale
in a large measure to the personal rec
concentrations of people who have
been cured by its use. It is for sale
by E. T. Whitehead & Co. Druggists.

A Young Mans Manners
Ladies' Home Journal.

Ladies' Home Journal.
Society asks little OF a young man
except to behave we'll. If he be manly
in looks, If he has a good manner, Is
civil to his elders, if be has any little
gift of entertaining any "parlor tricks"
If he sends few flowers occasionally,
looks pleasant and is polite, his way
will be smooth to success-always pro
viding that he is really gentleman.
He never Joins her on thorough
fare unless the friendship be an estab-
lished one and only with her permits
slon-nor will he stand and converse
with her.
It is provincial to walk "sandwiched"
between two women, to stare, or look
after any one who has passed.
In public conveyances man does
not pay woman's fare unless he is
her escort, except in an emergency,
when he must ask If he may.
Introductions are rarely made in
public places or conveyances.
A man precedes woman when en-
tering theatre or public place. In a
church the lady goes first. He may
precede her up public staircase, but
in private house In ascending an de-
scending, he follows.
In plcture-galleries, elevators In pub
lie buildings, hotel and theatre corri-
doris, they being thoroughfares, a man
retains his hat. In a hotel he removes
1t if women are present.
If lady bows to man in restaur-
ant he rises slightly from Lis seat In
acknowledgement. When he is with a
party, if lady with her escort stops to
speak to his friends he rises and re-
mains standing until she passes on.
He also rises If man is introduced to
him when with a stag party.
If bachelor show some little hospi-
tality it advances him much in favor.
If he has attractive rooms, or has any
thing to show, he may give an after
noon tea or chating-dish supper.
Simplicity is in order. A bachelors
entertainment is usually regarded in
the light OF frolic and his efforts in
dulg emily considered.
A bachelor may live where he likes
without loss of social position, If he be.
long to one good club, which he may
only use for the address on his cards

In his letter OF acceptance of the

unusual to his character, suggesting

DO YOU WONDER THAT HE WANTS A THIRD TERM

The vast outpourings OF the plain
people of Ohio, which greeted William
]. Bryan during his recent trip through
Ohio, indicate the drift of the tide
in this state away from Mckinley in
such a volume as will give the great
Nebraskan the electoral vote of the
Buckeye state.
1t is only necessary for the oppon-
ents of Imperialism, trusts and mill
tarism to go to the polls and record
their verdict to win the victory, and
the indications are that they will
do so
The appearance of $4,000 people at
Lancaster, 10000 at Coshocton, 100000
at Mansfield, 10000 at Akron $4,000
at Cleveland, 10000 at Springfield, 49,
900 at Dayton and from 1000 to 5000
at almost score of other places
shows the determination of the friends
of the republic of all parties, to put
Ohio in the Bryan column.
All these vast crowds assembled
spontaneously. No money was ex-
pended to bring them together. The
Democratic state committee has less
money all told than Dick and Hanna
spent alone for campaign buttons.
This is not a campaign of money
but of patriotism, so far as the Demo-
cratic party and, anti-imperiallst Re-
publicans are concerned. 1t is the
MISUNDERSTANDING crowd that is
trying to buy the election. But hon
