The Best Remedy for Group.

Fro IN the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe
Il his is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedy for Group
is in demand in every neighbornood.
One OF the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the mid
die of the night by Whoop from one
of the children. The Group remedies
are almost as sure to be lost, in case
of Group, as a revolver is sure to be
Ost in case of burglars. There used
to be an old fashioned remedy for
CT CUP, known as hive syrup and tolu,
but some modern mothers say that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet
ter and does not cost so much.
1t causes the patient to "throw up
the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief
in a shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack. 1t
ne yer fails and is safe and pleasant to
take. For sale by all dealers.

Letter to Mr.. n. R. Hardy,
Monroe City, Mo.

DEAR SIR; Ira Could: a
painter in Colebrook, N. H.,
bought of our agent there. Wes-
ley Wentworth, four gallons of
paint, thinned it down with
two gallons of oil, aud gave his
own house one coat.
Ev cry painter in town declar-
ed he had painted two coats.
THAT'S all the far the story
goes" as Uncle Remus says.
We don't know whether it made
a good job or not; but the paint.
er thought it did. We should
call it printing. Maybe the
house didn't need painting. A
printing coat is enough if put on
often enough.
But if Ira Gould had set out
to do US a favor he couldn't have
done much better. One prim.
ing coat of DEVICES is enough to
make painters say: Hes been
painting two coats; and wants
US to think he has done it with
one and that half Oil! No thank
you"
We don't know Mr.. Gould, but
know Mr.. Wentworth. Guess
the story is straight.
Yours truly,

this strange betrothal that was
made almost within hearing of
hundreds of peaple at fashion
able seaside resort on the New
England coast.
The next day John Rogers
left his love and started on his
work with renewed vlgor. Two
weeks later his sweetheart
would return to her position as
governess in a wealthy family
on Boston's aristocratic hill.
Even then their courtship
must be carried on under
d ifticulties, as she explained
that her parents were dead
and that her employers would
not pei init her to receive gent
lemen visitors. Their first
m Getting was at the entrance OF
fremont temple, where they at
tended the forenoon service,
after which he conducted her to
Ro xbury, where she was to
spend the day at the home of
M RS. Powers, TO stop 10 dinner,
nd it was finally arranged that
every second Sunday, which
Della said was heI Sunday off,
should be spent at the humble
home of Mrs. Powers.
During the next few weeks,
while talking over plans for
their future happiness, Della
drew from John the fact that he
had saved up nearly $1,000. If
he could increase this to double
that amount he wanted to start
in business for himself in a small
way, as a manufacturer of lace
collars. He told of the profits
to be made in the business and
his array of facts showed that
he was both clear headed and
well informed about the bnsi
ness. Under encouragement
from Della he even painted
Castles in Spain" and told of
the profits to be made in the
business by the man who had
$40, 900 to invest, and do SO be
fore the business was overdone
During the week he was sur
prised to learn upon opening a
letter that she wanted to talk
business matters with him, aud
would meet bin the following
Sunday at Mrs. Powers. When
they met she assumed a pretty
air of business perplexity and
asked him why he did not in
duce some wealthy man 10 ad-
vance the funds to start him in
business. This, John said, be
had tried to do, but found that
he lacked the influence to Sc.
cure the attention of investors.
Della told him that among her
her few friends was an elderly
gentleman who was looking
after investments for wealthy
clients that he had. and who
agreed to look into the propos-
ed factory. During the next
week John called Cd the man,
who proved TO be a lawyer. and
carefully explained the plans,
and an agreement was arrived
at by which Mr., Rogers was to
receive backing to the amount
OF $40, 600 and the business be-
came a reality. He devoted
himself earnestly to it, his sole
ecreatlon being his tortnight!y
meetings with his betrothed.
The business prospered and it
was decided that the wedding
should take place in June. 1t
