A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when the careful and prudent housewife re- plenis1es her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy It is certain to be needed before 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 con tracted and before it has become set tied in the system. In almost every instance severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giv- ing it to children for it contains no harmful substance. It is pleasant to take-both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures. For sale by all drug gists.

An Astute saIesman

An astute salesman was enjoined by his employer to be strictly honest but to sell goods.
 Next day the salesman displayed some new fabrics. saying to the lady shoppers:
 .Here is some calico that looks just like silk.'' But they turned up their noses scornfully. The following day he said to the same shoppers:
 Here is some silk that is made to look like calico" And they bought every yard of it.

repeat it all to her year later, when he had accomplished great things, and held his future in his grasp?''
 Of course. she was joking, and turned it off that way, and would not take his wild speech seriously, so as not to spoil their gay evening with sentimental nonsense.
 By what right could he, whose only possessions were pompous old name, some long dead and gone ancestors, tumble-down rookery and a few acres, which poverty prevented him from cultivating, to lay bare his secret to those dancing gray eyes-those wonderful eyes, in whose depth man could so easily lose his soul?
 John Hartley's banjo was inspiring. It led them on fantastic sscake walk'' from the torch-lit cane shed around the refinery to cozy room in the corner of the big building near the entrance door, the superintendent's office, where there was table and a punch bowl and glasses.
 An, it was 2 merry evening; one to be ever remembered
 The chemist, looking into Aurore's glowing face and great honest eyes, forgot everything but wild hope and ambition, of which she was the center. And when the hours had fled by, and they went reluctantly to the door to say goodnight, and Aurore jumped in the trap, while he fold ed rug over her gown and held her firm, small hands in his before she drew on her gloves, and again murmured foolish things, and she did not check him, but gave him a slow, sweet smile, which would always finger in brain and memory, so long as his heart beat, the horizon of his life seemed to widen out into infnitudes of blissftl possibilities!
 There seemed to be some confusion! What were these troublous years do- ing here? What was all this sorrow, this unhappiness, this anguish? What had they to do with him and Aurore? Who was it who came between them? And what was the wearing grief which drew line on his face and gave deeper look to. Aurore's great, proud eyes?
 The field hands were putting cane on the carrier. the lamps were far ing under the can shed, the creaking and rumble of the rollers was audible, and they were all sitting on log sing ing .sWay Down. Upon the Suwanee River once more. .~z
 He was close to Aurore's@ dear side, because sweet scent of the violets came to him from her hair and faces, and the moonlight fell full on her face, as she turned it toward him. He saw the soft glow rise and mount as she listened, but, her sweet, brave eyes never left his as she gave him that ineffable smile, which contained so great promise. .-
 How could he ever forget it? He had treasured it through those hideous years, those years of deepest unhap- piness, and the latest recollection to fade would surely be that look on Aurore's face as she turned and looked up at him. 6 .. @5s.+.e.s.~
 ''How@ do you do? We've. come to see you,'' Aurore's mellow voice said.

 ssMr. Thompson said I must give you these samples, sir. He would like to know if the lining is all right. Had a heap of trouble with that juice.

 The laboratory had grown cold, for the fire had died out. The chemist shivered. The lines were little deeper on the handsome face bending over the spirit lamp, and sombre shadows lay in the tawny eyes.
 The blue light deepened to purple. to violet, and changed to white in the crystal tube; the chemist made his test with methodical precision, and went to his desk to figure on the result as applied to Boudreau's cane.
