Let us see how much you know of the

by the ghost of Nelson, woman, but
how dare you talk this way to me? If
you were at sea I'd have you in irons,

Never mind what you would do il

many masts has a brig, for instance?"
And do you pretend that you know
yourself?"
Il pretend, Commodore Bowser, to
know more than you do about such
matters, and L haven't got an anchor in

Sleeve either"

zled way. 1t was the first time in his

After you have shown yours, my

Only two maSts."
Are you seeking 10 deliberately in

the difference between salt water AMI

The Best Remedy for Group.
(From the Atchison, Kan, Daily
GlObe.)

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neighbor-
hood. One of the most terrible things
in the world is to be awakened in the
middle of the night by a whoop from
one of the children. The Group rene
dies are almost as sure to be lost, in
case of Group as a revolver is sure to
be lost in case of burglars. There
used to be an oldfashioned remedy for
Group, 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. IL
causes the patient to throw up the
phIegm.' quicker. n gives relief 'n
a shorter time. Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. It never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take.
