There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt
and effectual cures make it favorite
with mothers and small children. 1t
quickly cures their coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other serious
consequences. 1t also cures Group and
has been used in tens of thousands of
cases without a single failure so far as
we have been able to learn. 1t not only
cures Group, but when given as soon as
the croupy cough appears, will prevent
the attack. In cases of whooping cough
it liqueffes the tough mucus, making it
easier to expectorate, and lessons the
severity and frequency of the par
oxysms of coughing thus depriving that
disease of al dangerous consequences

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because SO decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the abumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Brights
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

General Cor Quelled a Mutiny.
General Cox was d good discipline
rlan, but he never clustered and was
never severe. On one occasion several
officers called at his headquarters and
stated to him that they would not
promise to march their men up the mar
row river valley. He sent them to their
quarters and said nothing of their i'm
p%ertinence until after the a
While in camp at Gauley bridge his
Quartermaster general shot a private
in the Second Kentucky. The men of
the regiment escaped the control Of the
officers and made a rush to kill the
Quartermaster, who had been taken to
CoX's headquarters. Cox saw the men
coming, but instead of ordering the
guards to fire on them he al toward
them alone, bareheaded and unarmed.
He reached a gap in a stone wall ahead
Of the 500 or 600 furious armed men
and stopped them. He explained that
they might kill MIN, but they could not
pass.
Strengthening to his full height, he
said, Your general, unarmed, as you
see, orders you to remember that you
are soldiers and obey" Much to the
surprise of the score of anxious officers
watching the parley, the men returned
to their camp. Cox sent for a company
from another regiment, which guarded

A Tricky Dog.

Not long z Il very fat spaniel was
introduced into the house where a fox
terrier had always been the master.
The latter was told, however, to be-
have well to the newcomer and not to
bully him. SO the two seemed fairly
friendly and in the end got in the habit
of taking short rambles together.
However. the fox terrier was evident,
ly of a thoughtful disposition and on
one occasion anne across q bank, or
wall, which was easy enough to leap
off, but there vas greater difficulty in
returning. The fox terrier sprang
down the bank and enticed his heavy
companion to follow, with the result
that the latter could not get back, while
the former, by reason of his greater ac-
tivity, was easily able to do.
Now the terrier saw his opportunity,
returned home and cruelty left his com,
panion lamenting. Never did the for.
mer seem happier OF gayer than on
that day when he had once more the
sole u of the house, and he sulked
when later on the spaniel had been
found, assisted up the wall and brought
home.
Since then the fox terrier has repeat
edly got the spaniel down the same
place, with the usual result, and seems
to glory in his mischievous act. Wheth-
er the "fat dog will learn to avoid
temptation to such a ramble remains to
be seen.-Buffalo News.

His Free Library.

A Main street secondhand book,
store was the scene of an amusing lit
tie comedy the other day. A ragged
urchin, who had crept in %unnoticed,
pulled a dog cared book with a gilded
title of love and adventure from the
rack and, after lingering it for a mo-
ment, became Immediately absorbed in
the thrilling tale.
When the bookseller caught sight of
his impecunious visitor, his first i'm
pulse was to chase the boy away. On
second thought, however, he left the
youthful reader to his pleasure. AT
length the time for closing came
around, and the old man set about
boiling the shutters.
The noise awoke the urchin from his
dream. He lingeringly closed the book
and, siding up to the proprietor, asked
with all the assurance Of his gutter
training, "Say, mister, what time dyer
open termorrer?'-Hartford Telegram.

BEAUTY.

Beauty was born OF the worlds desire
For the wandering water, the wandering Are;
Under the arch Of her hurrying feet
She has trodden a world full Of bittersweet.
The blood Of the violet Is in her veins;
Her pulse has the passion OF April rains.
Out Of the heart OF a satin flower
God made her eyelids in one sweet hour.
Out Of the wind he made her feet
That they might be lovely and Turing and feet
Out Of a cloud he wove her hair
Heavy and black with the rain held there.
What is her name? There's none that knows
Mother Of Mischief or Mouth Of Rose.
What is her pathway? None may tell,
But 1t climbs to heaven, and it dips to hell.
The garment on her is mist and fire,
Anger and sorrow and hearts desire.
Her forehead jewels an amethyst;
The garland to her is love in q mist.
Her girdle is Of the beryl stone,
And one dark rose for her flower has grown,
Filled to the brim with the strength Of the sun,
A passionate rose, and only one.
The bird in her breast sings all day long
A wonderful, wistful, whispering song;
The song that is of all passing things,
None knows it-wingless or born with wings.
Nora Hopper.

He Knew the SpOt,

An amusing anecdote is related of
General Sherman, who, as command
ing general of the army, visited West
Point one June for the graduation eX
e~rcises. He accompanied the com
mandant on his Sunday morning tour
of inspection of barracks, and on enter
ing a certain room he walked over to
the mantelpiece. STOPPING down, he
pried up a brick from the middle of the
hearth with his sword scabbard and re-
vealed a hollow space about a foot
square, in which was nicely packed a
considerable quantity of tobacco and
other contraband articles. Meanwhile
the cadets occupying the room stood
by mutely watching and wondering
what sort of man the general was to
have been able to discover the only
cellar of its kind in barracks. Turn
ing to the commandment, the general re-
marked:
81 have been wondering if that hole
vas still there. l made it when l was
a cadet and lived in this room."-New
York Tribune.
