A Village Blacksmith Saved his Little Sons

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,

son, five years old, has always been
subject to Group, and so bad have the
attacks been that we have feared many
times that he would die. We have
had the doctor and used many medi-
cines, but Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy is now our sole reliance. It
seems to dissolve the, mucus and by
giving frequent doses when the croupy
symptoms appear we found that the
dreaded Group is cured before it gets
settled" There is no danger in Civ.

From three different counties
have come requests that poems be
given in this column suitable for
recitations in the rural schools.
l know of nothing better than
the w. G. T. U. State song to be-
gin with. This was written by a
young lady who, until recently has
lived in Hamline. Her father was
pastor of the Nj. E. church at
Marion when / first came to the
State and Hattie and / have been
warm friends since I,was Is years
old. After moving to Hamlin she
took advantage of her opportuni-
ties and graduated with honor and
afterward became a teacher there.
For years her articles, in verse
and prose, have been printed in
the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cute and appreciated by the many
friends who have learned to love
hex, for her beautiful christian
charater and love for humanity.
When the call for a State song
was sent out by State officers many
persons sent selections but the
committee decided that this one
written by Miss Harriet Garvin
was the best. We hope many
children will learn it and recite it
understandingly.

come the object Of fierce siege. But
one thing Is sure. geographically

present conditions OF warfare must
cease The English troops may have
a new Sebastopol 20 deal with. or per-

abled TO employ, also. those less diff

them thus, on open ground Is highly
dubious. The superiority Of British
opponents would be In itself oyerW helm

From a Box in a Theatre He Issues
Challenges.
SAYS NOTHING OF C0RBErT,
Except "Let That Dead One Get a
Reputation Firsc'-"FItz" Escapes
from the House

A New York dispatch this morning
says. Bob" Fitzsimmons, the pugilist
was noticed In box al a Brooklyn
theater last night by an lmproviso sing
er. which devoted one verse OF his song
to the ex-champion. This provoked
yells and calls for a speech from the
audience. Fitzsimmons arose In the box
and facing the audience said;
Tomorrow Tuesday shall post
forfeit Of 5000 in Manhattan and issue
a challenge 10 Jeflries to fight me
again for any amount, preferably slO,-
900. | will meet his hackers by adding
that | am willing TO make an agree
ment for the winner TO take all the re-
celpts. II he won't accept / will take
on sharkey, and II he don't want to
fight, will take on Mccoy or any one
else. All want is to fight again"
When the ex-champion had concluded
someone shouted; why don't you give
Corbett another chance?"
Let that dead one get a reputation
first" replied Ftzsimmons.
When Fitzsimmons left the theater
after the performance an immense
crowd followed him. In order to es-
cape he jumped on passing wagon,
the crowd still following. The driver
OF the wagon, seeing the crowd was un-
der the impression that Fitz was de-
mented and attempted to eject him. but
Fltz told him who he was. The driver
then drove rapidly toward the Broad
way Ferry and Fitzsimmons took a
boat 10 Manhattan.
