Expensive Virtue.

The report that the American Bank
ers' association has decided to pay a
salary of $4,000 a year to Charles
Becker, the famous forger, if he will
simply live the life of a good citizen,
brings to mind an old story, said a
Southerner who was visiting Philadel-
phia the other day, which is well
worth repeating. A southern judge
who had fine lot Of hogs one day met
a colOred man notorious for stealing
and said to him: Uncle Jack, I'll tell
you what I'll do. You pick out two of
those hogs you like best, and I'll give
them to you, provided you won't steal
any of the others The negro pom

Why Homes Are Expensive.

Greatly excellent homes are as rare
and as expensive as really excellent
razors," says a barber "They come
from the slate mountains near Rats
bona soft, smooth yellow stone. They
are bought, the fine ones, on approval,
for an actual test is the only way of
telling whether they are good or not.
Men make business of going around
the country selling them, and the good
ones, the high-priced ones with reputa-
lions, go off like hot cakes. This hone
of mine cost me $50, but l cut it i'll
half, and sold the part 1 didn't want
for $50" -PhiIadelphia Record.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign is
hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becomes hoarse.
This is soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely as soon as the child be-
comes 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.
