Like the other men of his blood and name, he made many friends wherever he was known. story is told which illustra . tes his popularity. The conversation was heard in a Pullman car.
 ''I tell you said one man to another. both being just a little jagged. that there never was more gallant sol dier.''
 True enough, true enough" was the assent.
 There never was a truer friend. continued the first man.
 That's right" came the response.
 Hes as good a politician as ever ran convention" continued the earnest man.
 T agree to that" came the ready echo.
 And he would make a d-d good bis hop"
 Well. now said the echo with some hesitation, II have some doubt about Anse McCook making good bishop"
 This story was told to Gen. Andrew Burt, retired, and he declared:

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN.

SAT Af(D HE Ct1ll@DHEN.
 Notwithstanding all that is done by boards of health and charitably inclin- ed persons, the death rate among small children is very high during the hot weather of the summer months in the large cities. There is not probably one case of bowel complaint in a hundred, however, that could not be cured by the timely use of Chamberlain's Coiic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. MT. Frank Riggs, of Franklinville, N. Y., in speaking of this remedy said: "I have found it eXpedient to have q sup ply of Chamberlains Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand. It has been a family safeguard and while especially beneficial to children, it is equally good in adult cases. recOm- mend it cheerfully and without reser- vation." For sale by all druggists.
