Primer, a well known merchant of
Drummond, Tenn. II used one small
bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured
without having a doctor. I consider it
the best cholera medicine in the
world" There is no need of employ
ing doctor when this remedy is used,
for no doctor can prescribe a better
medicine for bowel complaint in any
form either for children or adults. It
never fails and is pleasant to take.

noble Breed That Furnishes Won.
aNRful Instances Of Intelligence
and Bravery.


A New England mill owner allowed
his pet st. Bernard to sleep in the Of
fee, quite near his house, says writer
in Country Life in America. AS he un-
locked the door one morning he heard
low growl, and there stood the dog
over the PROSTATE body of man. As
the mill owner approached the man
tried to arise, but another warning
growl made him drop back, ejaculat-
ing: For Gods sake, call off your dog!
He's been standing over me four
hours" Burglar tools lay beside him.
He was unharmed and SO was the safe.
A lady who was going on long
journey one summer left her "Brenner
in the care of a livery stable keeper, a
friend who knew and loved the dog.
Brenner was very quiet and unob-
trusive fellow, careful to keep out of
the way, yet always near at hand. So
quiet was he that strangers thought
him cowardly, and many times he was
showed about by teasing, human bull
lies-just to see what he would DO.
Brenner took all their rough jokes in
good part until one day after his toes
had been trodden on repeatedly by his
chief tormentor. Finding it appar-
emily impossible to provoke the dog,
the bully turned upon the stable keep
err and began wrestling with him. Up
sprang Brenner like tiger, and, push
ing his great body between the men, he
forced them apart. Then, erect upon
his hind legs he put his forepaws upon
his enemy's shoulders and uttered just
one fierce growl. That was enough.
His toes never suffered again.
A three-months-old pup, by careful
observation, learned the connection be-
tween the pump handle and his supply
of fresh water. When the pan was
empty and he felt thirsty he would
seize the handle and shake it repeat
edly as well as he could. If this pro-
ceeding failed to attract the attention
of any one he would take the pan in his
mouth and bang it violently against
the pump. As he grew older he helped
the boys about their farm work-or

became a good cattle driver, never an
noying the cows by barking in front of
them, but following them closely and
pushing the stragglers gently to per-
suade them to rejoin their friends.
When the door of the cow barn was
opened it was the signal for him to go
down the lane to the pasture and bring
the cattle home. He was proud of his
skill, having been praised repeatedly
for it. One blazing July day chance
visitor opened the door. Bravo, lying
in the shade, heard and saw. 1t was
hours too early and he was loath to
leave his comfort, but the call of duty
must be obeyed, and away hesped. The
cows were taking their comfort, too,
some resting under the elms, some
standing knee-deep in the cool stream.
Up they had to come, one and all, most
reluctantly. surprised and unhappy.
Bravo never understood why he got
such rating that afternoon.
No other breed of dogs is more adapt
able to changing conditions. Give him
his friends and he is happy, whether
hemmed in by the limitations of city
dat or free to roam over 100 acres.

Statistics of suicide in the Austro,

Even among the civilian population of
that empire the percentage of suicide
is high--1.03 per 10000 inhabitants, as
against O.76 in England, though still
lower than Germany, whose percent
age is 2.71. Austrian army suicides,
however, are equal to those of any
.hree European armies put together.
England's army of free men does not
weary of its own existence. The per-
centage is 2.O6 per 10000, while in the
Austrian army it rises to 1858, even
double that of the German army. which

A CHAMPION BLOwHARD.


Passengers near the fore end of the
trolley car became aware of trouble on
the back platform. The car was on the
midnight run between Newark and
Jersey City, speeding over five-mile
stretch of uninhabited meadow wilder
ness. For some time angry voices had
been heard, and now to these were
added frightened EXPLANATIONS from
women sitting nearest the rear door.
A loud voice in a full-mouthed Irish
brogue sounded like bass drum above
all others and informed the crowd
what its owner thought of it, individ-
ually and collectively. Finally blows
were struck, and Mike was in his glory,
handing out buffets right and left, re-
lates the New York Times.
Things were "fine as silk" and
promising better, and the car was at
the darkest point of it's run, when the
little conductor pulled the bell cord
and brought it to halt. Without a
word and without consulting soul he
got Mike by the nape of the neck,
landed a few choice blows by way OF
preparation of what was still to come,
and projected the big man into space
and a neighboring mud ditch.
"Don't put him off here!" "Ah, let
the poor fellow back!" Hell never get
home if you fire him off" and similar
remarks from sympathetic passengers
were launched, and high above these
sounded Mikes own promises to be
good.
So the conductor relented and al
lowed the fighter back on the platform.
But he was q sight. There he stood,
plastered black from head to foot,
with a fast-swelling eye, a sad-looking
nose, and coat, collar and necktie torn
to ribbons. The noble Hibernian spirit,
however, refused to bend even to cir
cumstantial evidence. He winked be-
tween labored puffs at the nearest
passengers, glared defiantly at the lit
tie conductor, and with a triumphant
twitch of the head. said:

fact that its motor-driven axle is in
