A Village Blacksmith Saved HIS Little
Sons Life.

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,
Sullivan Co., n. Y, says: "Our little
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
medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is now our sole reliance. 1t
seems to dissolve the tough mucous
and by giving frequent doses when
the croupy symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded Group is cured
before it gets settled" There is no
danger in giving this remedy for 1t

drug and may be given as confidently

a Critical Husband.

dare say there isn't woman on
earth who hasn't theory on the sub
iect of how to manage husband, and
I have never yet come across a man
who was any the worse for a little
scientific handling now and then. II
were in the florist business, I'd send a
palm to certain senator's daughter,
who has set an example managing
wives might follow with profit. She
has husband, this senator's daugh-
ter, who is disposed to be critical.
Most of his friends are men of great
wealth, who live extremely well, and
association with them has made him
somewhat hard to please in the mat
ter of cooking. For some time the
tendency has been growing. on him.
Scarcely meal at his home table
passed without criticism from him.
"What is this meant for?" he would
ask after tasting an entree his vile
had racked her brain to think up.
"What on earth is this?" he would
say when dessert came on.
els this supposed to be a salad ?
he would inquire sarcastically when
the lettuce was served. The wife
stood it as long as she could. One
evening he came home in a particu-
larly captious humor. His wife was
dressed in her most becoming gown
and fairly dubbed over with wit,
They went in to dinner. The soup
tureen was brought in. Tied to one
handle was card and on that card
the information in big round hand
"This is soup"
Roast beef followed, with placaTd
announcing
"This is roast beef.
The potatoes were labeled, the gravy
dish was placarded, the olives bore a
card marked "Olives," the salad bowl
carried a tag marked Salad, " and
when the ice cream came in card
announcing "This is ice cream" came
with it. The wife talked of a thous-
and different things all through the
meal, never once referring by word OF
look to the labeled dishes. Neither
then nor thereafter did she say q
word about them, and never since
that evening has the captious husband
ventured to inquire what anything sci
before him is.

No Trouble at HazIeton.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 23.--All is quiet
and orderly in this region. President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of
America has issued statement giving
his views on the calling ont of troops at

of n mob by deputies at Shenandoah. The
statement is as follows:
"From information | have received
from those who have investigated the sit
uatiOn it appears that the shooting on the
part of the sheriff and his deputies was
entirely uncalled for, inasmuch as the
strikers had not injured single member
Of the shcriff's posse, and the circum-
stances forcibly Illustrate the ruthless
disregard the sheriff and his deputies
have for the lives of persons whom it was
their plaia duty to place under arrest il
they had violated any of the laws of the
state of Pennsylvania. The governor in
calling out the state troops has in my
Judgment acted inconsideratcly ana with

arc fully impressed with the necessity of
observing the law and conducting them
selves in peaceful manner ut all times
Father Phillips of st. Gahricl's Catho
lie church. who has worked diligently foi
arbitration as a means of settling Tho
strike, has issued statement in which
he comes out hatly ON the side OF the
strikers. In the statement he says:

rcetly quoted by todays papers, arbitra
lion is no longer means to the end de

"There is now no alternative but a iight
