Good Qualities OF Chamberln'sl

Ashburnham, Ont. April IS, o.
l think 1t Is only right that should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter
I was so distressed with cold and
cough that I did not think to be
able to take any duties the next day,
as my voice was almost choked by
the cough. The same day 1 re
ceived an order from you for a
bottle of your Cough Remedy.
at once procured sample bottle,
and took about three doses of the
medicine To my great relief the
cough and cold has completely dis
appeared and I was able to preach
three times on Easter day. l know
that this rapid and effective cure
was due to your Cough Remedy
I make this testimonial without
solicitation, being thankful to have
found such a Godsend remedy.
Respectfully yours,
E A. Langfeldt, M. A.,
Rector of St. Luke's church.

What This Gentlemen Says is a
Mere Statement of Facts.

No one can have any reason for
dissenting from the particulars and
proofs which follow, for verihcation
of the same Is within easy reach OF
every resident of this vicinity.
That Doan's Kidney Pills promptly
and eftctually cure kidney com
plants Is substantiated not only In
this particular case, but all who
have given them fair trial Iesti-
mony likewise shows that you do
not have to take them indefinitely
to be cured.
Walter McLacblin, a machine
hand, employed at J. Holiday &
Sons planning mill. Wheeling, W.
Va, address 3o32 Jacob street, says
Had I not used Doan's Kidney
Pills when l did I would not be
alive now. I was In a terrible con-
dition, and although I took quarts
of medicine I got no better, but
worse. Friends spoke Of my bad
appearance and thousands knew
about 1t. I could hardly get around
and felt and looked more like a
dead man more than a living one.
Doan kidney Pills were b lessing
to me, half box relieved me, three
boxes entirely cured me and now l
feel as though my back was as
strong as that of any horse In
Wheeling. I would rather have
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills than
the services of all the doctors In
the state"

The skies have caught deeper blue,
The birds a sweeter song;
The willows wreathe themselves anew
In tender greens along
The winding brooks. The sheltered hooks
Are bursting all ablaze
With stars untold Of cleaning gold
In dandelion days
No song more limpid or more sweet
Than yonder birds; no sheen
Like that Of grass beneath my feet
Than emeralds more green.
No softer breeze e'er stirred the trees
Than this. that gently sways
The budding beech beyond my reach
In dandelion days.
The song re-echoes in the heart,
The breezes stir the blood:
Within the brain fresh fancies start
And wake a nobler mood
Viewed through the clear pure atmos-
phere.
Life takes a Ioftier phase
And seems possessed OF keener zest
In dandelion days.
A magic spell rests on the year
And time has stayed its fight,
/ For long lost springtfdes reappear
| In pageants Of delight
| A child once more wonder Ger
I The meadows starry maze,
And life forgets its sharp regrets
/ In dandeion days.

Dear Sir: It's an old saying the.best

1t happens to us continually in this way:
A man buys Devoe for his house-he has
painted it once in three years for dogs
age, and thinks he knows what he wants
buys 80 gallons and has 10 left. S--@
He says right off that 20 Devoe is as
much as 80 Of anything else. He likes
that; it comes quick; it is a surprise; and
he tells Of it, The best advertisement is a
pleased customer. ~
Three years roll round There isn't a
sign that his house needs paint, he don't
paint it. Next year he don't paint it. This
comes slow: it is a surprise; but he has
got used to il. Still the best advertise
ment is pleased customer.

there are unable to solve the mystery
of the disease said Captain Clark.
The trouble was first reported to
me about month ago. At that time
three cows had been killed by the dis
ease, Since then ten more have been
killed and there is no let-up. My man
reports that the disease is prevalent
in other localities in that part of the
state, and that the farmers and stock
men are very much wrought up. He
says that the cattle are very much as
if they. were mad. They run about in
a furious state and pay no attention
to fences, running over or through
them invariably. One of them attack
ed him in the yard and he had diff
Guilty in escaping unhurt. The cattle
live only about twenty-four hours after
they have been taken with the disease.
There has been mad dog scare in
that section of the state, but no one
knows OF, any cattle having been bit
ten, and it is not known how the dis
ease could spread among the cattle.
They don't bite, though they are very
ferocious. They refuse to take food

FAT MEN ARE EASY TO ROB.
Pckpocket Tells His Theories-Thin
People Are Fidgety.
(From Chicago Tribun

Fat men of easy temperament are
the favorite prey of the professional
pickpockets according to no less an au-
thority than Molly Matches" who in
his day served time in many prisons in
the process of learning to let thin, in
dividuals alone when prying his law
less trade.
Like all good dips" this particular
pickpocket was a respectable looking
fellow who would pass unnoticed in q
crowd. He had lots of experience and
knew his business thoroughly. His
reasons, as given by himself, were
these:
Experience has taught me that ner
vousnes and Effectiveness are usual
characteristics of thin people when in
crowd. Therefore, they are more
apt TO turn around suddenly and take
quicker notice of any push or jostling
they may receive. have invariably
found that such people are constantly
on the alert, SO they are not SO easily
got at as more Compliant and conse-
quently easier going peolpe. 1t is a
deuced sight more difficult to take
anything from them without detection
than it is from the individuals of more
extended corporosity who fall into pas
sive attitudes and reveries that render
them quite unconscious of the sly,
stealthy hand of the pickpocket."
This theory is known to all expert
police, and they govern themselves in
accordance with the rulte to always
watch the fat ones when looking for
! a dip"

TEMPTATIONS OF MIDDLE AGE.
One the 81 Am HoIier Than Thou" At
ttude Toward Youth.

| know no such persistent temDta-
ton for the middle-aged, none so sub
tie in it's nature, nor SO disastrous in
its consequences, as that which makes
us like to seem to our juniors not on
ly established in altogether virtuous
ways, but as if we had been so estab-
lished all our lives. 1t is not, l think
a very courageous attitude to take, es-
pecially before the young, who have
no means of knowing what rapids we,
their elders, have encountered when
guiding to a present safety the frail
crafts of our character.
The young, whose very nature it is
to feel the differences that distin-
guish them as individuals from the
rest of mankind, never fancy them
selves so isolated as when they witness
some of the older ones harbored in
quiet ports apparently unassailed by
tempests Then it is that by very
contrast the young imagine themselves
as controlled by an adverse fate which
has sent them adrift and alone on to
a sea of wild temptations over which
no respectable old person could ever
have been sent to sail Is it right to
make them feel so, ask myself
often, gratifying as it may be to us to
be venerated? Opulent people are con-
sidered i'll bred who make the INDECENT
feel poverty stricken. 1t seems to me
quite as culpable for the virtuous ell
derby person to make the young STUN
bier feel himself sinner-From Lii

DANGEROUS DEVOTION TO DUTY.
How Roosevelt Came Near Missing
the INAUGURATION, of Mckinley.

A vice-president seated in solitary
grandeur in the senate chamber,while
the ceremony of presidential inau-
guration to which he base been invited
as an honored guest is going on out
side, surely presents spectacle with
an element of humor in it. Few per-
sons know how near Theodore Roose-
welt came to playing, such part on
the fourth day of March 1901. The
senate stickles so far for minor details
of etiquette that even reformer of
Mr.. Roosevelt's sturdy type would
hardly have ventured to transgress its
rules, and they require that formal
motion to adjourn shall be put before
days session can come to an end.
After his Inauguration as vice-presi-
dent in the senate chamber, Mr.. Roose-
welt took the gayel, and when the rou-
tine business was finished, directed
the sergeant-at-arms, as usual, to pro-
coed with the ceremony of inaugural
ing Mr.. Mckinley as President.
1t was then in order for some SEN
ator to move an adjournment; but in
the confusion nobody seemed to have
his wits about him, and the whole as
semblage, including the senators, quit
ted the chamber for the east portico,
where the oath was to be administer
ed and the address delivered. In a
few minutes the vice-president found
himself alone, with fair prospect OF
remaining SO until the days perform.
ances were over. But it CHANGED that
Senator Heitfeld missed his hat while
passing through the corridor and came
back to look for it. Face to face with
the yice-president. it occurred to the
senator that something must be wrong
SO with the utmost gravity he moved
that the senate do now adjourn" Mr.
Roosevelt with equal solemnity, put
the motion, declared it carried, and
proceeded in Mr. Heitfelds company
to the place on the presidential stanG
which had been reserved for him.
