The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison. Kan. Daily. Globe.
This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedy
for Group is in demand In every
neigh borhood. One of the most
terrible things in the world is to be
awakened in the middle of the
night by a whoop from one OF the
children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, In case OF
Group, as a revolver is sure to be
lost in case of burglars. There used
to be an old-fashioned remedy for
Group, known as hive syrap and
tolu, but some modern mothers say
that Cham berlain's Cough Remedy
is better and does not cost so much.
1t causes the patient to throw up
the phlegm" quicker, and gives re-
lief in shorter time. Give this re-
medy as soon as the croupy cough
appears and it will prevent the
attack. 1t never fails and is pleas
ant and safe to take. Sold by A. X.

A child of Mrs. Geo. 7. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against a
hot stove which burned him severe
Iy; the child was in great pain and
his mother could do nothing to pac-
ify him. Remembering that she had
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm in the house, she thought she
would try it. In less than half an
hour after applying it the child was
quiet and asleep, and in less than
two weeks was well. Mrs. Benson
is a well known resident of kellar,
Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
liniment and especially valuable
for burn, cuts, bruises and sprains.

1t is interesting to compare Prcsi-
dent Rooscvclt's Arlington speech with
the one delivered at Memphis several
days ago during the festivities attend
ing the homecoming of General Luke
E. Wright. Our president is a very
versatile man. When he is in the South
he loves the South because here his an
ccstcrs lived and than the Confederate
soldier no Drawer man ever shouldered a
muskct. AS soon as he crosses the Ma
son and Dixon line northward bound
even jefferson Davis, who was the
highest type of the Southern gentle
man, statesman, and soldier, becomes
to him rebel and an arch traitor.
What 4 great man our president is
anyway our president, the terror Of
mountain lions, of Mississippi bears,
and friend Of Booker Washington.

"Mr. Doolcy" yesterday was pretty

"Mr; Dooley' can find in real life ma

instance, one of the participants in a
prize fight in cultured Boston the other
day was the Hon. Patsey Sweeney of

"Patscy is now commissioner of public

Following is an extract from speech
recently delivered in the city of Mem
phis, before an audience composed of
negroes by Gen. Luke E. Wright:
I thank you sincerely for this evil
dence Of your good will and affection
and when l, use the term affec-
tion do so advisedly for have known
the colored man before the days of his
freedom and since, and l know his
strength and his weakness. There has
never been moment that l have not
only been his friend, but have been a
strong believer in his capacity for very
considerable good. 1t is a source of
co,oced meu are rapidly adjusting them
selves to their new situation and are
re aching that position where they may
hope to exercise the ballot effectively
and intelligently. The destiny of our
two races must be worked out on inde-
pendent lines. The colored man who is
ashamed of his own people and race is
not good citizen. The colored man
who assumes to initiate some other
man-whether he be white or brown or
Dlack-like all imitators, is inferior to
the original.
Gen. Wright had just returned from
the Philippines, where he has been in
the service Of the United States gov
ernment, and knew whereof he spoke.
And in these few words he expressed
the sentiment of the whole South.
"The destiny of the two races must be
worked out on independent lines
President Roosevelt was present when
the address was delivered. Having the
high regard for Gen. Wright that he
has on more than one occasion expressed,
it is to be hoped that he will carefully
weigh his words, and having done so,
will stop to think before he again en-
tcrs upon his marked policy Of trying
to establish, by political favors, social
