TFrom the Atchison. kas.. Daily Globe.I
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
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 remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case OF
GROUPS. as q revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to BE-
an old fashioned remedy for Group
known as hive syrup and tolu. bat some
modern mothers say that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better and does
not cost SO much. 1t causes the pa
tient 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 pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

The little building which served as .

pretty girl about sixteen years of age.
Somerville was an uninportant sta

agency was so small that in the VIII

of chest protectors TO hapless travellers.

miles north of Somerville.
There he at first gave promise OF rap.
i'd advancement: but, unfortunately, he
had become hopelessly enamored OF
pretty Nellie Carver, and Nellie had be

he soon began to spend most of his
days in her society at Somerville, for
feiting the sleep SO essential for a sat

company Indifferent service. He had
finally been discharged
Silas, having recommended him SO
highly, regarded this us personal at

asleep. To this Nellie had consented,
though with much misgiving, for she
was not given to deceit of any kind.

shouldn't have asked me to do this!
What would father say IL he knew it?"

"but I'm going away tomorrow, per-

seeing you. He'll never know it any

and listened eagerly to the clicking in

horror stricken voice: "Great heavens.
