It Happened In a Drug Store.

my drug store and asked for brand
of cough medicine that did not have

popular druggist of Ontario, N. K
..She was disappointed and wanted to
know what cough preparation | could
recommend. said to her that / could
freely recommend Chamberlain sColgh
Remedy and that she could take bot
tie of the remedy and after giving 1t q
fair trial il she did not find it worth
the money to bring back the bottle and
would refund the price paid. In the
course OF day or two the lady came
back in company with friend iRxaeed

"DOn't Need Him."

We have always been taught from
early childhood that it was a most
reprehensible act for one to disclose
confidential communications; and that
should the friendly relationship at any
time be severed neither party had the
right to make any disclosures without
the consent of the other. We were
taught this as child, and it was fur
ther reinforced when as student We
studied moral ethics. But that was
several years ago, and before Hon.
Edward Robb, representative in Con-
gress from the 18th district in the
State of Missouri swept away such
teachings with one sweep of his pen
like a housewife would the cobwebs
found behind the door.
The editor of this paper was per-
sonal and political friend of the afore-
said congressman, and was so indls-
Greet as to write him a letter. Those
friendly relations were severed, and
then the honorable gentleman took oc-
casion to read that letter in public,
and by comments he made upon it and
interpretations added gave it a meaning
Numerically opposite to that 1t bore
upon its face. That was in June, 1900
| in the heat of political campaign
and we thought that when he had time
to reflect upon the baseness of his &C
he would feel ashamed of it. But fiji
teen months afterwards he CO mes on
in a letter over his own signature; ant
says:
sThe letter was In n
sense confidential on my part, howeve
private the Doctor may have been il
writing it, or however confidential h
may have desired it to appear. Their
is no rule of ethics. honor, fairness G
common sense which would forbid th
disclosure of such letter"
Now, as Mr.. Robb removes the ba
u of secrecy from his and our CORES
pondence we feel perfectly free to max
use of some of his letters. We hav
- kept silent fifteen months and woul
have remained so forever had NJ
Robb not attempted in an open lette
to justify his nefarious act. His ope
communication calls for the publfc
ton of some of his letters in order thl
our strong opposition to him may
properly understood.

cluded to take a stroll, wind up at
ly over a bottle of wine.
AS he entered the club-room, Ned
Travers, observation-disclosures s-it-all,
accosted him:
Hello, Ralston! You must be debat-
ing questions of state from that seri-
Gus mug you have on. So The Family
Party is broken up! Wen, you carried
it through admirably"
what do you mean?" queried RAJ
ston coming to a standstill. II don't
quite catch your drift"
you don't mean you are not on to
the very latest! l thought, being on
the inside, you'd have an advance tip,
of course"
Ralston's face was as blank as a
dead wall.
"Why can't you say what you mean?"
he cried, impatiently, without beat
ing about the bush?"
Now, Ralston, that's rather over
doing the thing. &c tell it to the ma
rines that you've stood looking over
the garden wall while another mans
shears were nipping the buds! You
are too experienced a gardener to let
thing like that be done under your
nose without your knowledge or con-
sent"
eff you insist on talking in riddles,
I'll admit that I'm not good 1t conun-
drums" and Ralston would have
passed on in undisguised vexation; but
Travers stood in his way and regarded
him blankly.

"Your ideas seem rather dense to-day.
You don't mean to say that you had not
heard that Edith WestmorelanG and
Lavice Preston drove out to Neubert's
this afternoon with Charlie Hobart
and Van Kirl<man and the couples came
back-married!"
Ralston ground his heel into the
moquette beneath it and calculated, as
he turned away:
"Well, I'll be hanged"
The next night, for the first time in
two years, he rang the dainty little
widows doorbell.

the musicians, with both hands busy
playing, stood them, and l drew near
the shell in which they sat to see. To
my surprise 1 found that there was
not a fly in the shell, and then, to my
greater surprise, discovered why this
was. The sound waves of the music,
rolling with tremendous volume from
the shell, kept out the flies. The in
sects could not fly against the waves,
though they tried hard. Hundreds of
them were struggling frantically to
reach the shell, but they might as well
have tried to fly against tornado as
against those sound waves. Thus pro-

CUNNING PET MONKEY.
The Clever Creature Kissed the Baby
Instead of Pulling Its
Ears.

Jack, my pet monkey, is full of mis-
chief. One day he got into the kitchen,
and when the cook was not paying par
ticular attention to him he jumped up
on the table, seized pan of water that
was standing there and emptied its
contents on the sleeping cat, says a
writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer. He
never lost an opportunity to play a
joke on old Tab. or on the younger
cats, either, for that matter. He often
succeeded. when he was Gagged, in en-
ticing the cats close to the bars, when
he would seize their ears and pull them
until tine victims fairly squealed.
This habit of his was well known to
