4 Cure for LumbaGo.

Some time ago my daughter
caught a severe cold. She complain
ed of pains in her chest and had a
bad cough. l gave her Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy according to di-
rcctions and in two days she was
we'll and able to go to school. 1 have
used this remedy in my family for
the past seven years and have never
known it to fall says James Prem
dergast, merchant, Annato Bay, ia
maica, West India Islands. The pains
in the chest indicated an approaching
attack of pneumonia, which in this
instance was undoubtedly warded of
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
counteracts any tendency of cold
toward pneumonia. Sold by all

CONSIDER LOVELY WOMAN.

How she seeketh to rebuild the world
upon a lovely plan,
How she pointeth out the foibles OF
the meek and patient man,
How she is the bearded wonder in
the annex of the show,
How she getteth in barrel and
adown the falls doth go,
How she golfeth and she rideth and
she playeth some at whist,
How she writeth to professors who
declare they've not been kissed
How she walketh with hopping like
the gentle kangaroo.
How she changeth in moment to
another gait pursue.
How she taketh half the evening to
attire herself in haste.
How she changeth every season the
location of her waist,
How she fndeth it the fashion to be
willOwy and slim,
How she groweth plump with sud
denness at fashions dictates grim
How she-oh my son, consider-yea,

woman, lovely woman, cometh
down the mental pike.
Thou wilt find il best to vacate, to
bring other things to mind.
For she leaveth all our guesses in
the dusty wake behind.

what she doeth, what she thinks,

APPROPRIATION ASKED FOR
THE HISTORICAL LIBRARY

At the third annual meeting of
the Illinois State Historical society
at jacksonville last week il was de
cided to petition the next legisla-
ture for an appropriation of $25O,OO0
for Il building for the state historical
library.
The details of the project were
outlined by the vice president. Prof
Edmund j. James, of the University
of Chicago.
The Illinois Historical Society.
which is an organization connected
with the library board, has been at
work for some time getting the old
settlers in the different county his
torical societies to collect all the
relies. papers, pamphlets. and evil
dences of the states development
that they can possibly locate said
Professor James. These are to
form new library. An appropria-
ton of $500 made some time ago by
the legislature. has been used in
collecting manuscripts pertaining to
Illinois history from France, Canada
and England.
There are now 5000 volumes in The
old historical library mt Springfield
and i. 200 pamphlets. But the old IL
brary quarters are inadequate and
not suited to such an important pur-
pose. | am convinced that the leg
islature VIII give the S25O,0O0 needed.
The site for the new library will
probably he at Springfield or, at
Champaign. in connection with the
state university"

Giuseppe Creatore. the young di-
rector of Claiming ElIery's Royal ItaI-
ian band. which is to be at the Burtis
tomorrow evening. is one of the most
talked about men i'm the United States
this season. What adds immensely
to the interest he eNcites everywhere
is the fact that he pursues his way
entirely unspOiled by the lavish
praises he receives, and seemingly
unconscious of everything save his
art and his few intimate friends.
Creaturc is only 30 years old. but ne
bears the expression of man who
has sounded nearly all the depths of
human cNperiencc-which means hui
man sorrow. Cast out upon the
world when a mere child by grave
family misfortunes. he began play
ing the trombone when not more
than 10 or IL years old, and at -
was playing solo parts with the
Municipal band of Naples. Later on

taken i'm hand by the leading pro-
fcSSurs of the Royal Conservatory
and educated thoroughly i'm harmony
AMI counterpoint and the litera-
ture of music. entering finally into
the band of Luccra. directed by the
famous Silvio MancIni. where he ac-
quired an exhaustive knowledge of
all the technicalities connected with
band leadership. Then he became a
leader himself, and alternated in
conducting and trombone playing
until the spring of 1900. when the
spirit moved him to come to Ameri-
ca to seek his fortune. He landed
here a year ago in May. And now he
is recognized as perhaps the great
est musical genius that has come to
us in several years.
