'TwouId Spoil This story to Tell It in
the Headlines.

To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this Is an "o'er true tale" Having hap
pened in a small Virginia town In the
winter Of 1902, it is a story very much
OF the present. Up to a short time ago
Mrs. John E. Marmon, Of Melfa Station,
Va, had no personal knowledge of the
rare curative properties of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Last January
she says, my baby took a dreadful
cold and at one time l feared she would
have pneumonia, but one Of my neigh
bors told me how this remedy had cur
ed her little boy and l began giving 1t
to my baby at one and it soon cured
her. I heartily thank the manufacture
ers Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
for placing 80 great a cure within my
reach. I cannot recommend 1t too high.
ly or say too much in its favor. 1 hope
all who read this will try it and be con-
WINGED as l was" For sale by Frank

SNAKE CATCHES A QUAIL.

Hunters Shoot Rather With = Bird
In 1T Mouth.
A hunting party which went out
after quail yesterday returned to the
city last night, with 4 unique trophy
in the way of . very large ra~ttlesnake.
The huntsmen vouch for q remarkable
story In connection with the killing of
the snake. They say that the reptile
was found with q quail In its mouth.
The party stopped near a field,
which seemed to hold good promise OF
game. and the horse being hitched.
the three went out into the woods
to hunt for quail. There was only one
dog for the party, a pointer, thai soon
flushed a covey. Dr.. Dancy managed
to get two on the rise. and he was
then attracted by an exclamation
made by Mr.. Drysdale. who said that
he had almost stepped on a snake.
The two together made an investiga-
ton and found a big RATHER in the
very spot in which the birds had
risen. The RATHER was fred at and
killed. In his mouth, the huntsmen
say, the snake held a quail, which was
still iuttering with life. though the
shot had also struck the bird and ii
soon afterward died.-Florida Times

A moral wave has struck far off AT

nighted country are restricted to the
niggardly allowance of four wives, un'
der penalty OF being fired from the

self takes the lead, d%ivorcing all his

giving them full permission to marry
some other fellow. He has agreed,
however. to give them support till they
find another husband. In general PEG

Little Lisbeth 10 Growing
At the risk Of collaborating the clang

taking it by and large. our late leg
islature wasn't a half bad body. One
always expects an a~ssemblage of that

of course, and SO could you; but in sum-
ming up the total Of laws enacted and
appropriations made, all fair-minded
people will not only admit that it might
have been worse but that the work of
the session as a whole will result in
great good to the state. Our demo-

Among the reasons OnereQ at Lara
ME last week for a refusal to accept
the donation proposed to be made by
Andrew Carnegie for a public library
building was the one that Mr.. Carne-

How less holy is it than the money

of 142 assembled for the purposeo of TAX
ing action upon the building of a new
court house. Vigorous speeches were
made, all to the effect that the build
ing should be constructed. 1t will cost
$40, 900, which, with the present bond
ed Indebtedness will increase the deb
of the county to $4,000.
At the CONCLUSION OF the court house
talk, Editor Mills Of the Post brought
up the Industrial convention matter,

would meet in third annual session in

The Population Of China.

Some doubt has been thrown by rec
ent travellers upon the correctness of
the accepted notion that China is a
land of teeming population. 1t has
been asserted that the human hives
along the seaboard and the great rivers
OF China ought not to be taken as basis
for estimates; that in those parts of
the empire, which lie off the main
routes of traffic (the natural and ar
tincial watercourses) the population of
China Is comparatively thin. A cen
suse recently taken by the Pekin gov
ernment for the purpose Of assesses
ing taxes to meet the indemnity pay
ments seems, however, to prove the ac-
curacy of the older estimates. The
census shows that the IS provinces of
China proper contain 407, 1877 1906 inhab-
itants; that Manchuria has S,500.000,
and Mongolia, Thibet and Chinese
Turkestan a little over 100000. The
total poulation of the empire is 426,-
447,325, according to this enumeration.
The absolute reliability Of Asiatic sta
tlstics is questioned; nevertheless, the
agreement of the results of the census
with the accepted estimates is so close
as to invite confidence. The statement
that the Chinese Empire contains one
third of the human race will hereafter
be regarded more than ever as an ap-
proximate truth.
