What to Do Until the Doctor Arrives

1t Is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. W dairyman called at a drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle Of Chamberlain's 3
Cough Remedy. which he hoped would
give some relief 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 recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part Of the country.
For sale by all druggists. Matthews

Travellers on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railway have often
remarked that journey on this road
is not made unpleasant by clouds Of
dust and dirt, which are source of so
much annoyance on many roads. The
reason for this Is that at regular inter
walls the tracks of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railway are
sprinkled their entire length with oil,
which effectually allays the dust. This
Is but one Of many ways in which the
management of the Lake Shore looks
after the comfort Of its patrons. When
you buy your ticket via the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern Railway you

"a Colonial Girl,O

One of the most interesting facts in
connection with "a Colonial Girl"

will present here at the Lyceum this
evening, Is that the old Remsen man
sion, in which the scene Is laid. was
built. as many Of the old houses Of the
period We're, with secret under
ground passage running from the
house to the Hudson river. thus af-
fording opportunities to escape dur
ing the troublous times of 1776, when
it was frequently necessary for a sus-
pected patriot to vanish suddenly
when hard pressed by the English SOL
diers. Two houses containing such
passages are we'll known. namely, the
De Peyster mansion. at Yonkers, N.
Y, and the old Florence house, at AL
bany. both Of which have secret UNDER
ground routes to the river.
The opportunity afforded to drama-
tist to use such passage to make a
thrilling climax in his play. can readi-
ly be imagined, and the scene in "A
Colonial Girl" where the hero, God
frey Remsen. surrounded by his enc.
mics, and in danger of immediate cap
ture. disappears in an old clock case
on the wall, and next re-appears at
the bramble-choked mouth of the en-
trance to the tunnel, is said to be one
of the most exciting episodes which
have been put upon the stage In mod
