ON CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The Problem of Choosing Suitable
Presents Mt YuIetide.


For melancholy proof of mans genu-
inc incapacity we have but to turn to
the Delated creatures who at Christmas
time write daily to the newspapers for
advice. Like Emerson, they feel that
a present is due to somebody, and,
like Emerson, they are puzzled what
to give"
There is something really pathetic in
letter from Il 'class of boys" who
want to be told what they shall give
their teacher He is thirty years old,
they say, and Il remarkable mathe-
matician." Perhaps some shadowy de-
sire to make the punishment tit the
crime prompts this last bit of informal
ton. But it is matched by schoolgirls
who write: What is Il nice present
for a teacher: She is foreigner and
teaches Il foreign language. She is
very dark and has somewhat impa-
tcnt disposition" ''ThC Heir of Red
clyifc" would seem an excellent present
for this person, if only She were able
to rcsd it, But the editor is perhaps
unaware of the improving character
of Miss Ionge's stories. He has moth
ing more appropriate to suggest than
gold pen or piece of statuary,
neither of which is warranted cure
for impatience
\ married woman complains mourn
fully that she has to give Il present to
an old gentleman of eighty-two who
has everything he wants" 1t never oc-
ours to her for moment to spare him
the added possession of Il something
he doesn't want. she utmost length
her ingenuity can go is To write TO n
newspaper for advice. Another woman
feels moved to send some useful triae"
to a missionary, and II young man, who
signs himself Jasper. has Il painful
emergency TO face. II know two sis
ters who are nearly of an age" he
writes. Il wish to give them both

This is the season Of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife replenshes
her supply OF Chamberain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is certain to be needful be-
fore the winter is over, and results are
much more prompt and satisfactory when
it is kept at hand and given as soon as the
cold is contracted and before it has be-
come settled in the system. In almost
every instance severe cold may be ward
ed off by taking this remedy freely as soon
as the first indication of the cold appears.
There is no danger in giving it to children
for it contains no harmful substance. It
is pleasant to take-both adults and chill
dren like it. Buy it and you will get the

A very poor sort of man may be
wealthy if he has the money.

1t will be good news to the moth ers of
small children to learn that Group can be
prevented. The first sign Of Group is
hoarseness. A day OF two before the at
tack the child becomes hoarse This is
soon followed by peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy free
ly as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears, and
it will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never beeu
known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the only
remedy that can always be ddpendep up
on and that is pleasaut and safe to take.

speech in favor of the report and made a
vigorous attack upon its opponents. He

side that had spoken carried free pass
in his pocket and was employed by the
railroads and engaged in defending the
railroads in court and elsewhere. His
speech created quite a stir, and Mr.. Hun

rose several times to protest or to make
explanation

ments of those who claimed that the de-
tails of the commission should be prOyid-
ed for by Gen Assembly said that the
railroads only had to control one-seventh
OF that body. while they would have to
control a majority of the convention. II
was for this reason, Mr. BraxtOn said
that the details of the commission
should be engrafted upon the Constitu
ton. Mr. Thorn, of Norfolk spoke FOL
