A DAYS woRK

What constitutes days work.
Well, that depends altogether upon.
what business you are engaged in. is
one is an unskilled iaborer-a seller Of,
muscles and not brains it means in al
general way ten hours hard work; in'
a man mixes brains with his work and
lays brick or stone, builds house
paints or papers and belongs to som{
union he will get off with eight hours
If one is government clerk he gets OF
with five hours, while the parson get
off with still less; the housekeeper will
have to put in about sixteen hours and
the farm hand about fourteen, while
the engineer of the fast mail must do
his days work inside of three hours.
The man who pushes to the front in
any vocation has not any hour scale forl
his days work.

per was among .Ae many seekers after
fortune who made the big race n
fine day In April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
on his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected to
die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
b%erlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony.
and in a few minutes the dose was re-
peated. The good effect of the medi-
cine was soon noticed and within an
nour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. That one
nttle bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
