SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

when l had an attack OF the grip
last winter 1.-THE second one) / actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank W.
Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shorts
vile, y. Y. This is the honest truth. ]
at time kept from coughing myself to
pieces by taking a 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 of and l
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains. To
say that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise is putting it very
mildly. / had no idea that it would or
could knock out the gip, simply because
had never tried it for such a purpose,
but it did, and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused it
to not only be less Of duration, 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

The town Of WEIGH has found so
luton of the slot-machine problem,
which appears to meet with the APP
prevail of the ages at that place at
least. The town has granted the priv
ilege of operating them there, but only
one man can do it, and he had to pay
$1,000 for It. There IS no telling how
many he win put in, perhaps one IN
every house in the town. The idea Is
new, but may be good financially for
the town, but viii in all probability
be disastrous to the one who has bought
the privilege, as there are only 500 peo-
pie in the place. That sort Of business
would be very expensive here, if done on
the basis of population, but it would
bring in a big pile of evenue. There is
intimation, however, that the Clarksburg
saloons viii follow the example Of the
law makers of WEIGH.

A letter written as an exercise by 12-year-
old Frank Mc:irl of 81. Johns Parochial
/ School, has attracted the attention OF the
! boys teacher and of Father Coffey. be-
cause of the original thought and the un-
| usual expressions II contains.
Young McGirl has been pupil at st.
Johns school for four years. and there has
never been time when he DID not excel
his classmates in scholarship. He is an
| incessant reader. and has a remarkable
| memory. which enables him to make the
expressions of other his own.
Unlike most children who seek TO use the
language Of scholars and elderly persons.
Frank McGirl Is able to do 70 with accuracy
and appreciation Of the terms.
The letter Is not studious effort. for the
boy in conversation constantly uses the
| choicest English. and never falters at big
words.
He is in the seventh grade. and his
teacher is Sister Mary Philip. Frank says
his ambition Is to be newspaper man or
a lawyer.
In explaining the first part Of the letter
he said the teacher had ordered the class
to write letters to each other. and that he
had forgotten to compose his until after he
had retired one evening. The temptation
was to neglect his duty. but he overcame
the tempter and discharged his obligation.
The letter follows:
