SOMETHING THAT WILL DO YOU
GOOD.
We know of no way in which we can
be of more service to our readers than
to tell them of something that will
be of real good to them. For this
reason we want to acquaint them with
what we consider one of the very best
remedies on the market for coughs,
colds, and that alarming complaint
Group. We refer to Chamberlains
Cough Remedy. We have used it with
such good results in our family so
long that it has become household
necessity. By its prompt use we
haven't any doubt but that it has time
and again prevented Group. The tes-
timony is given upon our own expert

especially those who have small chill
dren, always keep it in their homes as
a safeguard against croup.-CGmden

It is possible that our age will
make it's mark in art and litera-

view to the pessimists who are
telling us the truth about our
work in the old lines. The artis-

breaks out in new places once in

hard time catching up. uture

Quick.Witted Pastor,

In Germany, recently, o country
preacher was preaching sermon,
when suddenly he lost the thread of
his discourse and, do what he would,
he could not find it again.
The congregation was greatly em-
barrassed and was wondering what
the matter was when he startled it by
exclaiming suddenly:
pardon me, my brethren, for paus-
ing in my sermon, but 1t seems to me
that I smell fire mewhere-and-and
it might be as we'll to see that it has not
broken out in the church or in any
Of the nearby houses"
Before the words were all uttered

to make sure that it's home was, not. on

fire existed only in the pastors imagi-

MOOSE AND LOCOMOTIVES.
tVhen They Come Together, which
noppens In Maine, There 10
Always Trouble.

The spunky and stubborn bull
moose has again been defying the
locomotive in Maine, with the usual
disastrous results-to the moose.
This time a whole moose family was
wiped out in about ten seconds.
making great waste OF big game
and a lot of work for the section
men, says Bangor (Me.) dispatch
in New York Tribune.
The engineer Of freight train
on the Bangor & Aroostook road, as
his locomotive rounded sharp
curve on down grade, saw big
bull, a cow and q calf. He sounded
the whistle, expecting to see the
whole family make break for the
woods, but they stood their ground,
and the bull. with a snort OF def
ance, braced himself for the COM
bat. swinging his great antlered head
as though he expected to toss the To-
comotive skyhigh.
The shrek Of the whistle sent men
scurrying over the tops Of the cars,
setting brakes, while the engineer
had the brakes on locomotive and
tender clampsd UP 50 tightly that
the wheels were sliding and sIi:ok-
ing over the rails, The speed of the
train and its momentum were too
great, however, to be overcome IN
the short distance. and down swept
the fast freight upon the heroic
moose family. There was crash
and crunch,ng upasr the wheels,
while blood spattered over the boiler
head, and fragments Of moose went
whirling through the air.
Whsn few, rods further on the
train was brought to . stCp, it was
found that all three of the moose
had been killed, the caFcasses of the
cow and the calf being thrown some
distance from the track, while the
carcass of tha bull had been ground
under the wheels. At lhs next sta
ton the section boss was informed,
and crew was sent back to bury
the moose family. The men said
that the bull was monster-one of
the LARGEST ever seen along the line
Of the Aroosto6..; road. .Yx
A few days ago 2 train on the In
tercolonial railway ran race with
q big moose which was promenading
the track near Dalhousie Junction.
The moose ran for half mile or
more at a surprising speed, and then,
finding that the footing was bad on
the ties, left the track and ran along
in the ditch. Here the animal tried
to jump high wire fence, but struck
half way over, and hung there while
the train came up. One of the pas
sengers says that the moose looked
puzzled and ashamed when the train
passed him.
