Dreadful Attack of Vhooping Cough

Mrs. Ellen Hqrlson, Of 300 Park Ave
Kansas City, Mo-, writes as follows;
"Our two children had severe attack
Of whooping cough, ono Of them in the
paroxysm of coughing w0uld often faint
and bleed at the nose. We tried every-
thing We heard of without getting relief.
We then called in our family doctor who
prescribed FOley's Honey and Tar,
With the very frat dose they began to
improve and we feel that it has saved
their lives" Refuee fu,stitutes. John

This promise was eventually redeemed by
Mr.. Karl Erickson, a Swedish officer in the
Belgian service. Mr.. Ericsson sent me a
complete skin and two skulls. The skin

to "A young male. This is the skin which

a mule with zebra stripes on it. When ]

state. on the west bank Of the river Sem
Tiki. I put questions to the Belgian officers
stationed there. They all knew the okapi,

native soldiers were in the habit Of hunt

with spears and then bringing in the skin

for this, however, it was discovered that

Prof. Ray Lancaster to set aside any idea
of the okapi being allied to the horse, but
he was good enough to attach Mr.. Sclater's
specific name of johnstont to his newly

Up to the time OF writing this is all that
is known of this extraordinary survival m
the Congo forest of the only living relation
of the giraffe. We know by palacontological
discoveries in Europe and in Asia that there
existed a large family of ruminants which
in their development and features were
neither of the OK group nor of the deer,

midway between these two branches OF

we had yet received. Stanley also was the
first to draw the attention of the world to
the dense and awful character of these
mighty woods and to hint at the mysteries
and wonders in natural history which they
possibly contained. The stress and trouble
of his expedition prevented him and his
companions from bestowing much attention
on natural history; moreover, in these
forests it is extremely difficult for persons
who are passing hurriedly through the
tangle to CONF into actual contact with the
beasts that inhabit them. Sir Henry stan
ley, discussing this subject with me since
my return from Uganda, tells me that he

A story was often told by the late
Charles L. Tiffany of an importunate Irish
man who for many years had been
employed as a window washer, relates
the New York Times. His pay had
been raised quite as often as was con-

bue he seemed always hungry Cor possibly
thirsty for more. At length the firm de-

sanctuary, he sought audience with Mr..
Tiffany.
"Gcod mornin', Mr.. Tiffany" he com

errand by d'sinterested conversation.

answer.
"And how are ye this mornin', Mr..
Tiffany"

And how are yur wife and family?"
quite we'll, thank you, Patrick. But
what can I do for you this morning."
"Oi've been thinkin', Mr.. Tiffany, thot

you should be thankful, Patrick, that
you have been permitted to serve so dis
tingu'shed a house as that OF Tiffany &
Co. for twenty-five years. That, with what
we have already done for you, should b.
sufficient. Good morning, Patrick"
Good mornin', Mr.. Tiffany"

he left the room. Reaching the outer

Secretary Shaw of the Treasury depart
ment Is achieving a reputation as the
humorist of the cabinet and seems never to
grow weary of telling stories. Every day
at noon he takes luncheon with the three
assistant secretaries of the treasury and
always ends the gossip about department
matters by spinning a yarn. This is one
told by the secretary:

audience was seated the towns most popu-

this story on himself the other evening to
a gathering of his friends, reports the
Washington Star. At the time Of his
marriage he had been through the civil
war and had had many narrowing exper-
fences aboard ship, through all Of which
he kept his courage and remained as calm
as a brave man should. As the time for the
CEREMONY came on, however, his calmness
gradually gave way. At the altar, mid
the blaze Of brass buttons and gold lace
marking the full naval wedding, the officer
was all but stampeded, and what went on
there seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement of the moment
would temporarily take him off his feet,
the officer had learned the marriage cere-
mony letter perfect, as he thought, and he
remembered repeating the words after the
minister in a mechanical sort Of way.
After the ceremony was over and all was
serene again, including the officers state

creature like a gigantic pig, six feet in

only hint of its existence which he OBJ

dwarfs knew of the existence of a creature
in their forests which greatly resembled an
ass in appearance and which they caught
in pits. This tiny sentence in an appendix
