A prominent lawyer Of New York says
that many years ago he went West. but
as he got no clients, and stood good
chance of starving, he decided to board
a train for Nashville. Tenn, intending
to seek employment as reporter on one
of the daily newspapers, says the New
York Telegraph. When the conductor
called for his ticket he said:
II am on the STAFF Of the - Of Nash
Vile. suppose you will pass me-
The conductor looked at him sharply
''The editor Of that paper is in the
smoker; come With me: If he Identifies
you, all right"
He followed the conductor into the
smoker. The situation was explained.
Mr.. Editor said: : y"
"Oh. yes; I recognize him as one of
the staff; it's all right"
Before leaving the train the lawyer
again sought the editor.
"Why did you say you recognized me;
I'm not on your paper?"
I'm not the editor, either. I'm
travelling on his pass, and was scared
to death lest you should give me away"

What building Is that?" asked a

''That," said the boy, why, that's the

And he feelingly rubbed his back as

Wear = GNsA Hat.

: Never wear taNdr9 hats, however
slender your purse may be. A tawdry
hat will spoil any c6stdme. The girl who
has to be economical should conflne
herself to quilts aid bwings, which are
smart in all weaihers without being
expensive Cheap feathers and velvsts
are not worth buying. so make up your
mind to get the best materials you can,
and then take cafe nof them. A hat
should always be bfushed after wearing.

Man Dying of Diphtheria Rode from

other passengers.
Arriving at Bangor, he got into hack
in which were two commercial travellers
and, after the latter had been left at no.
tel, he was driven to the Eastern Maine
general hospital.
Mr.. Ramsdell was suffering from a dis
ease of the throat, which the hospital
ply sicians Immediately recognized as
dipht heria OF the most malignant type.
He was received in a private room, and
upon discovery OF the nature OF the dis
ease was Immediately isolated. The case

Among the tens of thousands who have
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
colds and la grippe during the past few
years, to our knowledge, not single case
has resulted in pneumonia. Thos. Whit
field & Co., 240 Wabash avenue, Chicago,
one of the most prominent retail drug
gists in that city, in speaking of this, says:
"We recommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for la grippe in many cases, as it
not only gives prompt and complete re-
covery, but also counteracts any tendency
of la grippe to result in pneumonia" For
sale by GRO. A. PARCHER, Ellsworth, and
W. l. PARTRIDGE, Bluehill, druggists.

was a hopeless one, and on Saturday
night the patient died.
Prompt measures were taken by State
and city boards OF health, who caused
the hack to be fumigated on Monday,
and who also had the sleeping car
stopped on its way back to Bangor Mon
day and fumgated.
The possible consequences OF this trip
of man suffering with SO malignant a
disease are not pleasant to contemplate.
The passengers who occupied the car with
Ramsdell and breathed the same air are
now scattered far and wide, and there is
no telling how many people have since
been conveyed In the hack that he used
in Bangor.
