SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.

Cured by One Bottle OF Chamberlain's s
Cough Remedy.
"When / had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) / actually
cured myself with one bottle Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. / at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoonful
Of this remedy, and when the coughing
spell would come on at night / would
take a dose and it seemed that in the
briefest interval the cough would pass
off and would go to sleep perfectly free
from cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as most
agreeable surprise is putting it very
mildly. / had no idea that it could or
would knock out the grip, simply be-
cause / had never tried it for such a
purpose, but it did, and it seemed with
the second attack of coughing the rem
edy caused it to not only be of less du-
ration, but the pains were far less severe
and / had not used the contents Of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For Sale by G. G. Osburn.

Reports from the lambing camps in
Gillian county thus far indicate that
the increase this year will be far below
the average Of former seasons. One
sheepman remarked the. other day that
he would do well ifhe raised 80 per cent
of the lambs, while another AYERS that
IT per cent will be about the average
raised this year. This means that the
loss will be larger than usual owing to
the cold spring weather chilling the
lambs and retarding the growth of the
grass. The ewes are rather weak

knew, but before she was aware she
had placed a hand against his cheek
playfully as an accompaniment to some
joking remark. Neither attempted to
carry further the graceful, good-na-
tured play.
II am going to bid you good-by for .
few days" she forced herself to say.
Cousin Belle has sent for me to come
over to Gray's lake; besides it will give
you and Harold a chance to go it alone
for a few days. 1 have been selfish
enough to ~monopohze you, so you will
not regret my absence"
He expressed his regret, and hoped
he was not driving her away. It really
struck her feverish fancy that he was
not really half sorry enough at her
going, and she regretted she had spok-
en- of it. He bade her goodnight and
went to his room.
When he came down In the morning
she had gone.
When she returned the following
week his visit had ended.
She v~entured a few desultory in-
quiries Of Jackson regarding Webb
and the last days Of his stay. She was
almost on the point Of oonfeSsing to
her husband the folly that had seized
her regarding Webb, and asking his
assistance in keeping them apart But
she was too great a coward. It was
easier to maIgn him.
II hope be win not come to bore US
again." she said, p%etulantly, careless
Of her husbands feelings.
'aThe invitation win never be With
out your assent" said Jackson. with q
note Of Dacifcation in the speech.

pictures, art impressions, bits of life
all in a modest yet familiar and YER
satile manner that ~captivated her.
He reverted to his youth and his col
lege associations with Jackson;
spoke of their long and more than
brotherly friendship. He ~congratu-
lated the absent Jackson on his CIR
cumstances as well as on his nne
choice Of a wife. He hoped they
would always consent to be his dear
est friends. He was alonej the world
was his scene Of activity, but their
home would always remain his truest
haven.
Her mind was compelled TO grasp
In bounds what he was saying, for
his wonderful voice and the height-
ened beauty and nobility Of his face
made her deaf at times to his words.
She fen farther back into the COM
fort chair, resting her eyes on his
face and was lulled by his tones.
In the midst of HIS most felicitous
words he laid his hand in a friend-
~ way upon hers Al it rested on the
armchair, and he kept it there a mo
ment. The action was so ~innocently
like that of a brother she was not
sorry he did so; rather, she felt a
tremor from head to foot with the
Joy of it; a suffocating something at
the touch Of his fine, warm hand.
Then, with a graceful movement he
arose, and, lifting her hand to his
lips, kissed her fingers tenderly and
respectfully.
She was choking from the swath
of her emotions. She rose also, and,
forcing a smile, thanked him for the
pleasant evening.
Her hand free, the impulse to touch
him in turn seized her. She hardly
