Kennedy.
Ashburnham Ont, April is. 1903
I think it is only right that i should
tell you what wonderful effect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has pro-
duced. The day before Easter was
SO distressed with q cold and cough
that did not think to be able to take
any duties the next day, as my voice
was almost choked by the cough.
The same day I received an order
from you for bottle of your Cough
Remedy. 1 at once procured sample
bottle, and took about three doses of
the medicine. To nv great relief the
cough and cold had comp ,etely dissa
peared and / was able to preach three
times on Easter Day. / know tina
this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough Remedy. I make thi
testimonial without solicitation, be
ing thankful to have found such a
Godsent remedy.
Respectfully yours,
e. A. LANGFELDT, M. A.

MISHAPS GALORE.
Misfortune No. III Comes to The
Progress Office in Shut Down
of Power House.

By actual count since September l :,
the Daily Progress has had III mis-
haps to contend with. This count
has been kept by the two office boys,
Mercer Richardson and Howar d Mon
tague, and they vouch for the correct
ness of it.
The fact that every detail of the
office is going like clock work, at a
certain hour is the best evidence in
the world that chaos will take posses
sion she next hour.
For three months piece by piece,
we have mended the broken places,
all along climbing over mountains OF
trouble to get to them, and thinking
three days ago that a. last every OBJ
staele had been overcome and SO an
nouncing ii, everything worked along
pretty smoothly until this morning,
when the force came on duty the
power from the Electric works failed
to respond, and for three hours every
press of the office was idle.
1t is fortunate under these aggra-
waiting circumstances that the office
doesn't owe a dollar for if it did a
cruel, unfeeling world would be too
prone to attribute that as the cause,
but strange thing to the writer has
always been that concerns that could
not claim so much finan ,ially. run
along more smoothly so far as acct
dents to machinery, sickness, etc., are
concerned, but such is life, and as
perplexing as it is, We must stand 1T.
Many more such occurrences as we
have had to contend with would drive
Us back to the use of the old-style
Washington hand press, which, after
all. is the never-failing way.
Job might have gained distinction
for patience in his day. but he would
have failed in the face of the acct
dents and mishaps this paper has had
to contend with the past so days.

The Black Sheep.

From HarperS Weekly.
The degenerate son of a well-known ard
respected citizen of New York died the
other day, suicide and a murderer. after
embezzing church funds to a considera BILE
amount. 1t was told that he had demon
strated his worthessness years before by Il
discreditable business failure; but his rel,-
tives had found place for him as clerk of
church corporation and caretaker of its
funds. He took advantage of his position
to forge notes. which he cashed without
difficulty, and spent specialized with the
proceeds. When he was found out he shot
himself first shooting a woman who had
the misfortune to have been his friend Here
was a man who apparently had given his
friends reasonable warning 81 his quality.
The mistake they made. was in getting him
a new job and trying to save his reputation.
That is common and a very bad mfsta Ike.
Many families have the misfortune TO in
clude one member who, perhaps from some
congenital defect, is not trustworthy. Yet
they hate to give him up, and, hoping, as
he goes from one disaster to another. that
he will yet learn his lesson, they keep on
finding chances for him to throw away. To
raise up such person is simply TO add TO
the height from which he must fall To
protect his reputation is simply to furnish
him with means to deceive whoever trusts
him. The sooner he gets down to the level
he belongs in the better for himself his
friends and society. Help him on, but not
up. Pay his board. but don't find him job
where he can betray confidence. Keep him
out of the poorhouSe and out of jail III pos
sible, but, most of all, keep him out of mis-
chief by making serious mischief inafces-
sible to him. To put defective. irrespon-
sible man who is used to ease and the COM
forts of life into social and commercial COM
petition with persons OF his own social
grade is to invite disaster. Let him be
known. if he is known at all, for what he
is and thereby minimize the risk involved
in his existence.
