CHAMBERLAIN'S PAIN! BALM CURES
 OTHERS, WHY NOT YOU?

My wife has been using Chamberlain's Pain Balm with good results, for a lame shoulder that has pained her continually for nine years. We have tried all kinds of medicines and doctors without receiv. ing any benefit from any of them. One day we saw an advertisement of this medicine and thought of trying it, which we did with the best of satisfaction. She has used only one bottle and her shoulder Is almost well.-Adolph L.. a Beer. co' a S0'd T.2loa B. Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; W. N. Hurd, Long Hill; A. B.IFancher, Haw- leyville; A. B.

Old Men Not Exempt.

One of the oldest and most widely
known residents of the lower end of
the county was approached by young
man on Thursday noon on court
square, who told him he could get the
best meal In town for 20 cents. As
the fellow had generally paid 25 cents
a meal, he concluded to take advant-
age of the offer. Hewas taken to a
lunch room adjoining one OF the no.
torious resorts. He was steered into
the latter and was inveigled into a
game. Ec Is 81 years CT age and his
faculties are not as bright as they once
were. He won 5000, or at least they
told him he did, but that he must
show 5000 of his own before he could
get it. They cajoled him into coming
up street for the cash. which he could
easily have raised but fortunately he
met a friend to whom he impaired the
knews of his good luck. He was on his
way to get the money to take to the
takers, but changed his mind after his
friend put him next-Sentinel.

LARGE CANADIAN FAMILIES.
A Montreal Man with Twelve Chill
dren Marries a Quebec Wom-
an with Eleven.

A newspaper of Quebec lately told
Of the marriage Of a Montreal wild
over with 12 to Quebec widow with
IL children, and this brought out from
a correspondent bigger story. 1t is
that some years ago Louis Lemieux,
of st. Henri, father of - children,
married Nine. Letourneau, mother of
12. They were well-to-do people and
united their progeny under one roof.
The registrar OF the district attests
the truth of the statement and. says
that he was the notary and friend OF
the couple, and "at the wedding din
ner saw the "a children seated at the
bridal table and happy at being unit
ed in the family. All remained to-
gether under the parental roof for
some years, and never was the peace
and harmony Of this patriarchal
dwelling disturbed by troubles be-
tween parents or children" He tells
how, one by one, the "a children mar
ried, ito create other families" and
to-day the old couple live in comfort
and respect in the village of st. Henri.

Why We Have Two Sets Of
Bird Visitors.

Nothing Is more characteristic of
our seasons, and nothing more inter-
esting in ornithology, than the migra-
tory flights OF the birds. We welcome
them when they come north In the
spring in the tuneful companies as the
most pleasing feature of a reviving
world, this familiar acquaintance and
that saluting us with well-remembered
greetings. Many speedily disappear.
to be sure, but most of them remain,
to gladden. our hearts and senses while
we watch them cuuningly contrive
their homes and lovingly rear their
young in our gardens and groves.
Then, in the restful. meditative days
of autumn, the story is reversed.
Birds that we caught glimpse of in
the spring grant us a second brief in
terview, our summer friends are as
sembling and departing. and presently
only the faithful few who reside with
us the year around, plus some winter
visitors from boreal parts, VIII be seen
in our woods and meadows.
1t appears then that we in temper
ate latitudes entertain two sets of an
nual visitors-one from the South and
one from the North. This is true, and
it looks as though the custom of mi
grafton had begun among birds-wan-
derers by nature-by their annually
leaving the overcrowded tropics for in
creasingly distant journeys in the
course of which they built their nests;
and that after awhile certain ones had
got into the habit of staying in the
new regions or of making only short
and partial migrations which, by and
by, will cease. 1t Is significant that
most of the pronounced migratory
species are errant members of families
mainly tropical.-Ernest Ingersoll in

Destruction Of the Buffalo.

The destruction of the buffalo has
recently been denounced by writer
as "the crime of the century," and it
was. Between the spirit of greed and
that of brutal pleasure, and with saw
agery and civilization competing in
the ghastly work, millions of these an
imals We're sacrificed to compare
lively meaningless slaughter. The rec
ord is almost incredible and is in in
delible shadow upon the nobility of
humanity. The Indians went out to
hunt in armies, and in one instance
$40 savages killed 47,770 buffaloes. In
20 years the half breeds of the Red
River slaughtered 652,275, and the
white man has to his credit even lar
ger figures, until, of all the millions of
buffaloes that were in the country at
the last census there were only 256
pure blooded buffaloes, and they were
in captivity. These millions of beasts
were killed by arrows, guns and by be-
ing run down or run over precipices.
A few years ago along the line of the
Northern Central Railroad could be
seen immense piles of bones which
the Indians had gathered. They were
the bones of buffaloes that had been
killed for pleasure or their hides, and
the carcasses had been left to rot on
the plains. The government was ap-
pealed to to forbid the slaughter, but
failed to act. and the horrible history

wooING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Loving Words from a Flying Train
Arouse Interest in the OBJ
servant NeiRhbOrs.

A romance Of true love Is working
itself out between railroad engineer
and widow of this city in full view
of this lady's not uninterested neigh
bors, says the Philadelphia Record.
She lives with her offspring in house
before whose door run the railroad
tracks and several times day the en-
gineer sails grandly back and forth
on these and hands down words of
love in a loud voice from the emf
nence of his engine cab. Thus they
WOO, the widow on her doorstep, the
engineer up on his iron steed, and If
it be dapk-whether evening or day
break-their words are winged with
passion and the neighbors get out OF
bed and listen from their windows.
Il dreamed about you last night"
the widow once said. "Tell me the
dream" said the engineer. ooh; l
couldn't do that" and to the listen
ers the very voice Of the coy widow
seemed to blush. One Saturday night
he made her present. Here y are.
Can you catch?" he cried, and tossed
bulky package. The neighbors
found 1t was roast of beef. She, in
return, stood on tiptoe beside the To-
comotive and handed something up.
What? Oh, suspenders! Say,
they're all right" acknowledged the
engineer For six months this wooing
has been going on and the audience
thinks 1t is pretty near time the en-
gineer came to the scratch and, like
a man, offered his heart and hand to
the willing widow.

What the Enumerators viii
Ask YOU.

The object of the census Is to fur
nish basis for the apportlonment Of
representatives in the lower house of
congress; to ascertain the growth of
the United States in numbers, wealth
an dlndustry; and to investigate the
social organizations and institutions
which determine the growth OF popu-
latlon and wealth. The first is con-
stitutional necessity, the second a
study of facts, and the third a study OF
causes.
Probably no social institution Is so
intimately connected with the growth
of population as that of marriage In
investigating. marital conditions the
law requires about each person a
statement whether he or she is single,
married widowed, or divorced; If mar
ried how many years the marriage
has lasted; If a mother, how many
children she has had and how many
of these children are now living.
From the answers to the questions
1t is possible to determine the birth
rate, the prevalence of marriage, the
proportion of women and children to
the whole population, the duration and
fruitfulness of marriage. So far as the
power of Importance of nations are
dependent upon the size of the popu-
lation, to that extent is the accurate
determination of these questions a
matter of public necessity.
In the United States there would
seem to be little danger of decline in
the population.
Here are the questions to be ans
wered:
Name?
Relation to head of family?
Color or race?
Sex?
Date of birth. Month, year?
Age at last birthday?
Whether single, married, widowed OIL
divorced?
Number of years married?
Mother of how many children?
Number of these children living?
Place of birth?
Place of birth of father?
Place of birth of mother ?
Year of immigration to the United
States?
Number of years in the United
States?
Naturalization?
Occupation, trade or profession?
Months not employed?
Attended school TN months)?
Can read?
Can write?
Can speak English?
Is home owned or rented?
If owned, is home free or mortg
aged?
1t is to be bonre in mind that ans.

Japs Turned the joke.

story apropos of the visit Of the Japan
ese prince is being told In Paris about
a former Japanese embassy which
came to France to arrange about three
free ports which were to be opened to
trade In japan and France. respective
ly. The French minister OF foreign
affairs chose Yokohama, Yeddo and
HanYang. The Japanese ambassador
smiled and went away. Soon after
ward japan signified that she had Sc
lected the three French ports of Havre,
Marseilles and Southampton. The
French foreign Office went into fits OF
laughter at this blunder, and pointed
out that Southampton was In England.
