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


Cough Remedy.
"When I had an attack of the
grip last winter (the second time) 1
actually cured myself with one bot
tie of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy," says Frank W. Perry, Editor
of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. This Is the honest truth. I at
times kept from coughing myself
to pieces by taking a teaspoonful
of this remedy, and when the cough.
Ing spell would come on at night l
would take a dose and /: seemed
that In the briefest interval the
cough would pass off and I would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and It's accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise Is putting 1t very
mildly. I had no idea that 1t would
or could knock out the grip, SIM
ply because 1 had never tried 1t for
such a purpose, but it did, and 1t
seemed with the second attack oil
coughing the remedy caused 1t to
not only be of less duration, but
the pains were far less severe, and
1 had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by c. W. Grier.

Tie Baby Turtle.

Turtles lay their eggs in the sand
and let the sun hatch them out. They
do not lay them all in one place, prOba-
bly, because they think it safer to scat
ter them. Then, even though one be
stolen or broken, the others may es
cape. The mother turtle covers them
all carefully up. one after another,
with thin sprinkling of sand and
then apparently never gives them an
other thought, considering her ma
ternal duty done. Certain it is that
she has never been discovered going
near these egg babies again, and when
they hatch at last the tiny. soft backed
creatures at once begin crawling
around in search of flies and other
food as independently as if there were
no such thing as mother in the world.
A little girl who found one of these
odd. OblOng turtle eggs on sandy riv-
er bank in Louisiana took it home and
put it in teacup on the table for safe
keeping. A few hours later a slight
noise was noticed in that direction
and on looking in the cup again she
found Il baby turtle. 'full fledged." but
tiny, scrambling about among the bits
of its broken eggshell cradle.

A One sided Chnsc.

In an English paper appears the fol-
lowing amusing anecdOte: Some serv-
ants were exercising three horses and
some of the hounds from the Hunt
kennels. when an inmate of the district
asylum appeared on the scene.
"Eh, sic, bonnie dogs" exclaimed the
man. who was supposed to be daft,
"sic bonnie dogs. And what del keep
they for?"
1t was explained to him that they
were kept for hunting the fox.
"An' sic bonnie horses. Are they for
hunting the fox tae?' He was told
that they were. whereupon he asked
the value of a horse and dog, too
and. having been informed, he next
wanted to know the value of a fox
when caught.

The Fox and the Hen.

A Fox, having crept into an clubhouse,
looked up and down for something to

"Dear cousin" he said to her, chow do

And it was thus that Paul Scharf
found them. If he had expected it, his
face only showed an incredulous |
amazement.

At the sound of his voice the girls
spirit reasserted itself. Here" she an
swered defantly
N"Yes; l see you are there" the choir
master said grimly. But if you think
1t is q proper position l fail to agree

scarlet and snatched her hand away
from Jack. Il must request that you
both take your places in the chahcel."
And he turned on his heel.
Something cf the cool contempt in
his tone seemed to rob the two of bra
vadO, for they followed him meekly up
the aisle.
To Betty the rest of the rehearsal
seemed intermnable. She refused to
/ accept the messages Of comfort which
| Jacks eyes telegraphed her. She hated
! him. He had made her ridiculous, con-
temptible, in Paul Scharfs eyes. This
was the end of her Lenten penitence
OF course she must leave the choir to-
night.
And so the astOnished Jack went
home alone, while Betty waited to
brave her fate
Paul Scharf closed the keyboard,

IN PENITENTIAL
:. MOOD :.
BY LESTER RAY
Copyright, 1903. by T. C. Mcclure


The last echoes from the organ died
in the ghostly outer darkness of the
church. For the first time Paul Scharf's
glance lifted from the keyboard. He
started. for. the chancel lights made an
aureOle around Betty Carew's blond
head. But her gay voice petulant,
charming, wholly human-dispelled the
odor of sanctity.
81 have come to join the choir as a
Lenten sacrifice" she said demurely.
Her laughing eyes were veiled by
modest lashes. but her red mouth still
pOuted irresistibly, and the saucy dim
pie lurking near it betrayed the fact
that much of earth and its allurements
yet clung to the fair penitent.
Despite himself Paul Scharf's glance
fingered on the lovely face The girls
lip curled in a half smile of conscious
power. At that a sudden bitter thought
sent an angry flush to his cheek. She
had come to ilaunt him with her beau
ty.
"Your voice will be very acceptable
Miss Carew," he said. low and steady.

But she had caught the break before
her name. All, he remembered when
it had been not Miss Carew, but Betty!
Three weeks was short for forgetting.
She flashed her glorious smile full up
on him. Perhaps Lents penitences
will blot out the sins of other days"
she ventured boldly.
He looked down at her searchingly.
Was there not a note of earnestness
underlying her aippancy?
a But, as he hesitated. Betty, piqued
by his unrespOnsive mood, turned her
back upon him. Her slight figure was
drawn up to it's fullest height as she
walked into the choir room. Passion
had swept away penitence.
The others had already gathered.
Their reception was in fiattering con-
trast to the one just accorded her.
Jack Dudley was assuring her of his
delight when the young Organist took
his seat at the piano.
''To your places, please" he said
courteously. But Betty chose to con-
slider it in the light of a reprimand, and
her blue eyes flashed defiance.
During the intcrmissiOn, when the
others walked and talked up and down
the long aises of the church, Betty and
back Dudley preferred to sit in shad-
owy corner. The girl fiirted, fiirted de
liberately But deep down in her heart
fhere was an ache. Lenten sacrifices
were hard in the making.
The rehearsals came and went. Betty

rest. And i'm its varying cadences the

frivolous or penitent. Rn, there were
other signs. When she was penitent
she would have naught of badinage.

The Black Flau.

The pirates worked with a will. BY
daybreak all the cargo was trans
shipped. 1t had been a hard nights
task, but the men had toied with des-
perate will, so eager were they to get
clear of the plundered craft before
the light of heaven shore upon the
sea.
The fog rolled away before the
breaking splendor in the east, and the
sea opened fair and blue. The Prus-
sian brig lay dashed alongside, but
with tenders between. When the YES
sells were released the Gypsy Sided
off to the impulse of the faint air that
stirred her jibs and tOpsais. And
when she had floated a distance of ten
times her own length they brought
her to a stand, boat was lowered,
and Captain Crystal and five pirates
went on board the plundered ship to
leave her in such trim as would not
excite the suspicion of the passing
mariner, unless he came very close
and hailed her.
