Died Cured.

Carroll D. Wright, an authority upon
questions of labor, passed good part of
his boyhood in the New Hampshire town
of Dunbarton. There used to live near
Dunbarton a physician remarkable for
his pigheaded stupidity. Mr.. Wright
said of him recently:
IA good story about this physician used
to circulate in our town. According to
it, an old woman stopped his gig one day,
and pointed toward house with Grape
on the door.
$50, DOCTOR she said maliciously, Mr..
Brown is dead, for all you promised to
cure him, ELI?
"The doctor looked at her in his
pompous, stupid way.
"You're mistaken he said. You did
not follow the progress of the case. It's
true Mr.. Brown is dead buthe died cured"

Do GOOd-It Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that,
Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend a helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it," Most men appreci-
ale kind word and encouragement more
than substantial help. There are persons
in this community who might truthfully
say: my good friend, cheer up. A few
doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
will rid you of your cold, and there is no
danger whatever from pneumonia when
you use that medicine. 1t always cures.

An Absent Minded Man.

A story is going the rounds of the
Missouri press regarding farmer who
is greatly troubled with absent-mindcd-
ness. On the way home from town, SO
the story runs, the thought came to him
that he had forgotten something. He
took out his notebook, went over every
item, checked it off, and saw that he had
made all the purchases be had intended.
As he drove on he could not put aside
the feeling that there was something
missing. He took out his notebook and
checked on every item again. but still
found no mistake. He did this several
times, but could not dismiss the idea that
he must have forgotten something. When
he arrived at home and drove up to the
house his daughter came out to meet him,
and with look of surprise asked: "Why,
where is maw?"
