kct, yet rs preventive of suffering, VIC
feel it duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-

used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases dose Of this
remedy would save hours Of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly ON
any medicine for cure, but we do be-
liovc that if bottle OF Chamberlain's
Diarrhoca Remedy were kept on hand

AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
AT night when the sun went down;
One held a lock of thin gray hair
And one held q lock of brown.
One thought of his sweetheart back
at home,
Happy and young and gay,
And one of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each in the thought that a woman
cared,
Murmured a prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each in the joy of woman's love
Smiled through the pain of death,
Murmured the sound of a woman's
name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed lock of thin gray hair,
And one kissed lock of brown.

recounts how a wheelman was rid

after dark when a brawny constable
stopped him and demanded to know
why he was riding without a light.
Not a moments pause elapsed before
the cyclist framed his excuse. "See
that bicycle?" he said, pointing on
ahead to the gllmmer of light in the
road. well, that machine is my bet
ter half; 1t is part of this machine,
you understand. I was riding tan

When an American woman's hus-
band is elected she gets some news
paper comment simply because she is
the wife of the husband, and then she
is forgotten.
The men of America are not society
men. They lead too strenuous a life.
They are too much concerned in their
business and in their outdoor life.
We say great deal against the
German housefrau. but we do not un-
derstand her. She has a great in
fluence over her husband.
The bill which has passed the Ger
man reiehstag will shut out sixty mill
lion pounds of American canned meats
and sausages. The Germans do not
care for the open door, They are for
protecting one class at home by MAX
ing food dear to the laborer. The
American protectionist must not COM
plain. He should take his medicine
like little man.

DOGS DIDN'T THINK /.

This Is what we are told. But, like
many things told us, 1t may not be
true. Sitting at our desk Monday
afternoon we observed a black dog
with very long, pendant ears and long
silky hair start to come across the
street, couple OF rods east Of our Of
fee. When he had reached a point
about one-third the distance across he
found the mud becoming too soft and
deep for comfortable navigation. He
stopped, looked ahead moment at
the sea Of mud before him, then turned
and went back TO the sidewalk. He
then trotted west till he reached the
paved street, directly opposite our Of
fee, then came across dry shod and
clean, and trotted back east to his
home. What different would a man
have done? But We would ascrit the
mans action to reason. Why not give
the dog the same credit? Fact is we
nave met lots OF men whose thinkers
were not half as good as dogs

NAPOLEON ON WELLINGTON

The Century quotes from DIR.
OMeara's unpublished Talks with Ma
poleon at st. Helena, this judgment
of the imprisoned Emperor on the
general who finally overthrew him:
Il asked him If he thought Lord
Wellington merited the reputation he
had gained as general. He said:
Certainly; think he does. He is a
very excellent general, and possessed
of great firmness and talent, but he
has not yet done as much as seine
others. He has not conquered upon
so large a scale. l observed that he
had shown great judgment and eau
ton latterly, but that at first he had
been too precipitate in advancing into
Spain. He said that he had shown a
great deal of ability in the campaign
of Spain. 1T is impossible said he,
for man not to commit some faults.
We are all liable to It, and the gem
eral who commits the fewest in num-
Der Is the greatest general, and he has
certainly committed as few as any
one | then observed that still he
was scarcely to be equaled to himself.
Why, certainly said he; he has not
done so much as have done. He has
not conquered Kingdoms in the man
ner | have done, but he is an excellent
general. His operations have not
been upon so great a SCALE"

MRS. HENRoTIN's PLAIN TALK.

Mrs. Charles Henrotin discussed
what is society,"" before the Chicago
chapter, Council of Jewish Women.
The present organization of society
she attributed to the fact that Ameri-
ca has no recognized social authority.
She said:
In any other country a presidents
wife would be a parsonage; in Ameri-
ca she Is Just an accident
In America a woman makes ner
husbands society; in any other eoun-
try a man makes his wife's.
American women do not concern
themselve swith their husbands busi-
ness affairs unless something goes
wrong; then they have to explain.
An American society woman might
care personally IL the wife OF the pres
ident should criticise her, but no one
else would.
So long as an American man;
business and his home get along al
right he does not care for the rest o.
the world.
Women have formed a world o.
their own and not find their interes
in<their husbands affairs.

CARING FOR WOUNDED HORSES

Many of the war workers" among
the women Of England are turning
their attention to that most pitiable
feature of war, the sufferings of the
wounded horses on the battlefield. IL
is subject which the humane will
strongly agitate when the Geneva
Convention meets again. So far re-
ports from South Africa do not tell of
any arrangements for putting wound
ed troop and gun horses out of their
misery. and 1t is understood that no
soldier has any right to use his own
initiative in the matter. even IL he
had time to do So Graphic accounts
from recent battles state that the
veldt was strewn for miles with dead
and wounded horses, and pictures that
one shudders to think of arise In the
minds Of all true lovers of the noble
animals. Unless hit in the head, 1t is
unlikely that the poor beasts are
killed outright, and a lingering death
from thirst and starvation must me-
cessarily follow.-New York Tribune,

new couture is to be introduced
with the summer by certain elegantes,
impatient for change now that the
pompadour has lost its exclusivcness
and the high, tossed. uncuried drapery
of the side part is not becoming TO

The low coil at the nape, its principal
characteristic, will be especially be-

ment of the front hair to accompany

manner in which Bartet wore her hair
as Diana de Lys, in Paris, this spring
-as closely, that is, as modern taste
will allow, just as modern taste has
modified Diana's gathered skirt and
bell sleeves. The front hair is parted
in the center and brushed smoothly
for a little way, not in the straight
line of the Madonna part, but with a
fiat, light loop on each side, low over
the forehead. The hair is brushed
back at the temples and curled into a
fluffy heap, Stimulating the short side
curls that were punched over Diana's
ears in the sixties. The whole effect
is very fiat and broad, like the new

FORM IN LETTER-WRITING.
Points for Those Who May be in Doubt
as to the Best Usages.

To every one outside the family
circle the Christian name and surname
should be written in full. A married
woman writes her name, Mary Bruce
Talbot, and in a business letter adds
beneath II, in brackets, Mrs. John
Talbot. An unmarried woman writes
Miss" in brackets, before her full
name, to a stranger when a reply is ex-
pected.
Typewriter letters are only ad-
MISSILE for business communications.
In such epistles the signature should
be written by hand.
Speak first of the interests OF your
correspondent and afterward Of those
which concern yourself.
Never write anything over your own
signature Of which you might later be
ashamed.
Never allow any one to read a letter
intended for your eyes alone. 1t is in
trusted to your honor, even II not so
explicitly stated.
One does not use the word house
party" in an invitation, but says, Il
am asking few friends, etc"
A letter sent by hand should be left
unsealed, unless a servant be the
messenger.
Business letters should begin with
"sir." Dear Sir" or "My Dear Sir. .
or If in the plural, with Gentlemen. .
