A JuGlcious INQUIRY.

A we'll known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has
often heard druggists inquire of cue
toners who asked for a cough medi-
cine, whether it was wanted for q
child or for an adult, and if for a
child they almost invariably recon-
mended Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. The reason for this is that they
know there is no danger from it and
that it always cures. There is not
the least danger in giving it, and
for coughs, colds and Group it is I'M
surpassed. For sale by j. Hawkins

The c. H. & D.-Pere Mar
quette are now running passen-
ger trains between Cincinnati,
Toledo and Detroit, which they
confidently believe to be the finest
complete trains in this country.
An Enquirer reporter who rode
on one Of these trains on is first
trip from Detroit to Cincinnati
Sept. 4th, 1904, describes it as
follows:
The train consists Of a COM
blnation baggage.car and smoker,
ladies' coach, com bination
coach and dining car, and a
perfect dream of a parlor car,
which when lighted with a my
raid of electric bulbs was re-
splendid and fascinating in the
highest degree. Every one of the
cars except the baggage and the
smoker, which is of Flemish oak
WITH rattan high back seats, is
finished in mahogany. Even the
com bination car at the head of
the train is provided with a lava
try with nickel-plated wash
stand. 1t will seat "A people.
The ladies' coach seats IS people,
and has high-back, roll-top plush
seats. A novelty which excited
admiration is the coach and
diner is one, there being seats
for 50, although a spacious
kitchen is located in the center
with four tables in the rear of
the kitchen. But the triumph of
modern car building is shown in
the parlor car, which is said to be
the handsomest ever turned out
in the Pullman shops. The ma.
hogany flush is made more eff
fective by the olive green revo1v-
ing chairs.
The smoking room is the most
commodious ever seen on any
train entering here. It is so con-
structed that it is absolutely
private from the rest of the car
and has accom- modations for II
lovers Of the weed at one time.
At the rear of this car is a plate
glass observation platform. In
honor of the inaugural of the new
service every car was decorated
with festoons of smi1ax, caught
up by clusters of asters aud
roses. The beautiful moving
palace has its own vestibules
and each car has it's own electri-
cal apparatus for lighting in adj
dltlon to the Pintsch gas system.

Old Fashioned Entertainment.
Editor Enterprise:

~ AoS'
The writer has been singular
ly blessed lately, in being invited
out to several Sunday dinners.
Along this line | want to say to
those who do not know my fond
ness for good eating and nv
capacity for disposing Of the
same (and who intend to extend
me an invitation in the near
future) that if invited I will try
and make things pleasant for
them-in the grub line.
A week ago last Sunday | had
the pleasure of helping to enter
tain some Of the friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Ingles, at their
cosy home on south Grant street.
The com pany consisted of the
host and hostess, Mrs. Bryan,
Mr.. Paul Bryan aud the Misses
Virginia, Florence, and Marquee
rite, and myself. The social
part of the day was excellent,
bat if l had to decide which part
OF the program | liked best,
| should not hesitate to say:
Give me the dinner first and
the talk afterwards" Nothing
of serious nature happened to
prevent the full enjoyment Of the
dinner, except that it might pos
sibly be that the host was little
slow in the capacity of second
cook and head waiter, for which
he made due apologies.
Last Sunday was another red
letter day for comrades Hooker,
Buckley, and Brown. The latter
from G. A. r. Post, No. II, of
Kalamazoo, Mich. The party
met at the pleasant suburban
home of F. D. Lee and wife, and
the comrades enjoyed themselves
as only old soldiers know how,
indulging in stories and reminis-
ences.
When the dinner horn blew,
every man promptly jumped to
his feet, and fell in line, and
marched out to the dining-room,
Clock step.) The table fairly
groaned with good things to eat,
and they were cooked like your
mother used to cook them, and |
want to say in this connection,
that Mrs. Lee has few equals and
no superiors as an entertainer
and suberb cook, and we all hope
to meet her around the same
board at no distant day.
/ regret that comrades Buckley
aAad Hooker, acted rather indis-
eetly at the table in not being
ied with the bountifu1 sup
Of dinner, and after all others

tRivers, here comes Swaddleford.
I'll bet you dollar you can't make
a simple remark to him about the
weather without getting long lee
ture from him"
"Betting is the vice Of fools, but
I'll take you up on that, Brooks"
A few moments later.
e'Good morning, Mr.. Swadaleforl.
Internal weather we're having, isn't
it"
fInfernal? Not at all, my dear
fellow. Quite tie contrary. This
weather is hiberlal, as would havo
occurred to you if you had reflected
little. 1t has always seemed to me
the strangest thing on earth that
people will persist in saying things
that convey an idea exactly opposite
to that which they mean to convey.

British Army "Reminiscences.

Lord Wolseley in his book of
army "reminiscences tells this story
of conditions in the British service
when he was young: 'It was then
common belief that the barrack
master and his old sergeants made
a good thing out of the charges lev
led upon young officers as barrack
damages. A cracked pane Of glass
was small silver mine to these
men. Fifty eusigns may have oc-
cupied that quarter with this crack
ed pane in it, and all had to pay for
a new one. After I had embarked,
the barrack sergeant presented me
with his bill, one item being for a
iatchkey which I had then about
me. In my innocence I proffered
the key and asked him to erase the
item. He positively refused. I paid
the several shallings demanded, its
outside value being, I should say,
one, and foolishly imagined I had
scored one against the harpy by
throwing the key into the river"

A Two Sided Story.

A yarn is told in Lowell, Me-,
about two men who were thorough
going sports, and as they were rid
ing by river side one day one Of
them said, CPL bet that I can prove
to you that we are riding on the
other side of the river"
"I'll bet you SIS you can't" said
the other one.
"Who'l we leave it to?"
'The next man we meet"
So when they met a pedestrian
the first speaker addressed him, say
ing as he pointed across the river.
"Say, mister, that is one side of
the river, isn't it?"
Certainly" answered the sur
prised pedestrian.
"And this is the other, isn't it?
"Why, of course" still more SUI
prised.
And the other man paid up his
forfeit.-Lewiston Journal.

Needed Regulating.

The new cuckoo clock, which was
supposed to strike only the hours,
but occasionally added an extra per-
formance gratis and had to be reg
ulated in consequence, was source
of constant wonderment to small
Marjorie-even more so, indeed,
than the baby brother that had come
to live with her about month be-
fore.
One day baby brothers dinner
did not apparently agree with him,
and a fit of hiccoughs ensued. Aft
er few moments amazed conten-
plation Of this strange phenomenon,
finger in mouth and eyes riveted on
the periodically convulsed counte-
nance of the pink headed baby, the
little girl sped away to give the
alarm.
ooh, daddy" she cried, almost
breathless with excitement, "'ittle
bruyver's swallowed a cuckoo, an
he's striking hours an hours an
tween times! You'd better come
reg'late him, quick !"-New York

Juvenile viewo of Marriage.

He was a curly headed boy with
life before him. She was a little
girl with a saucy pug nose, but
wise, it would seem, beyond her
years. The fact that she was nurs-

shut with click may have been his
inspiration.

ried if I knew how"
ooh, that's easy" replied the
owner of the pug nose. ''First you
buy diamond ring and give it to
her; then you buy gold ring, like

and then you must buy her a watch

COLLECTED THE BILL.
, Business Letter That Turned Out to
Be a Boomerang.


Be a Boomerang.
For three years Brooklyn bust
hess house had tried 50 collect an
undisputed bill of $50 from law
yer, whom a Brooklyn paper calls
Baker because that is not his name.
Whenever a collector asked for the
money the lawyer would protest Wig
orousiy that man of his large af.
fairs could not be bothered with so
small matter as bill Of $50.
One day the business house re-
ceived typewriter letter from the
lawyer, manifoldad copies of which
had probably been sent to many
other Brooklyn business houses. 1t
was evident that he had not recog-
nized the firms name when he sent
it. The letter read in part as fol-
lows:
81 take the liberty of writing
you, thinking you may have some
claims Oh your books that should
be collected. | undertake collec-
tions as branch of my business
upon the principle, No collections,
no charge OF course, 1 do not
bring actions at law for nothing;
neither do sue unless authorized.
I believe that collections are step
ping stones to other legal business
and give an opportunity to become
acquainted with my method of do
ing business"
The business house sent the fol-
lowing answer, together with its
bill against the lawyer:
eve have at hand your favor Of
the 23d inst, asking us to send you
some Of our uncollected bills, and
we take pleasure in sending you
herewith bill which we have been
trying to collect for q long time
without success.
"lf you can do anything in this
matter we should be pleased to send
you other bills for collection. Will
you kindly let us hear from you at
your earliest convenience
Possibly this did not especially
appeal to the lawyers sense Of hu-
NOR, but the bill was paid without
any further delay.-Exchange.

SHORTHAND In MIDAIR.
:iow Reporters In the House Of Rep
rcscntativcs Have to Work.

=iow Reporters In the House Of Rep.
rcsentatives Have to Work.
Reporters i'll the house Of repre-
sentatires perform a feat i'll nearly
all their writing which, it is said, is
not equaled anywhere in the world.
That is the taking of their notes
while standing. 1t is necessary to
move from place to place in the
chamber in order to hear accurate
ly all that is being said. Therefore
the stenographcr takes his notes in
midair, as it were, while standing in
the aisle, writing simply on the book
he holds with his left hand. Only
occasionally does he find q vacant
seat within range Of the orator into
which he can slip and find a resting
place for his blank book while he
keeps pace with The speaker with
his pencil. Unlike the house, the
senate is small enough to allow de-
bates TO be reported from the desk.
These reporters never use the
typewriter IN getting their notes
into form that mortal can read.
After working steadily for ten or
fifteen minutes the reporter is re-
lieved by fresh man and allowed
to repair to the transcribing room,
where he proceeds to read his notes
on to the recording wax cylinder Of
a phonograph. These cylinders go
to the corps of typewriters, who put
the reporters words on paper as fast
as they are reproduced through au
ear tube. Hour after hour during
the afternoons of the session the
phonograph tells them to the type
writer operator, and in q jiffy she has
them ready for the printer. Unless
member withdraws his remarks
for revision they are ON the way to
the printing office before he has put
on his hat and coat to leave the
house for the evening, and often he
can have printing Office proof de-
livered to him at his hotel before
bedtime.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

NATURES REMEDIES.
rhe Medicines That Are Used by thc
Adirondack Natives.

Adirondack Natives.
"Whcn the Adirondack native be-
comes afflicted with any Of the nu-
merous tritiing ills which make man
kind wretched," said the returned
visitor, che does not waste much
time on doctors, but goes straight
to the woods or the attic for ma
ture's own remedies. There is one
old man whom I have met with
pack basket on shoulder and shears
and rough board stool in his nit
tened hands going after yarrow,
which, dried, is standby for coughs
when it has been made into a wicked
looking brew. Fir balsam, coaxed
drop by drop from the blisters which
swell on the balsam fir at full moon,
is sovereign remedy for chest and
lung colnplnints.
Gravel weed, by which name
they insult trailing arbutus, is ex-
cellent for the complaint which
gives it its name, and bladder root
has desirable effect on the kidneys
and ncighborino organs. Sage tea,
containing a little summer savory,
is eilicacious for worms in children,
for which bclmonia, also stepped, is
also used. Suntlower seeds, stepped,
strained and sweetcncd with mo-
lasses, will cure the whooping cough.
Horseradish leaves, wilted and
bound OH the face and back Of the
neck, will drive away neuralgia, and
u nutmeg, bored and tied around
the neck, will keep it away. The
nutmeg must be renewed about
once every six weeks.
"Onions sliced, pounded and
placed in a cloth and laid over the
affected part will draw out inham-
nation. A red onion halved and
with one part slightly scooped out
and the cup placed over q cerbuncle
or boil will speedily remove the
pus and has saved life.
"There are many more of these
simple remedies in the north woods
pharmacopeia which the wise ones
have at their fingers ends, and if
they are not more widely used and
money kept in the overalls of the
thrifty native it is because lenient
and more fortunate fate presides
over the incomes of the Adirondack
medicos. New Iork Herald.

The Poor compositor Again.

There is trouble between the pro-
prietor of the Daily Trumpet, pub
lished in Slowbury Center, and one
of the prominent citizens of the
town.
The citizen is Orlando Vance
Jones, who writes occasional verses
for the "Poets' Corner and pays
for space in which to advertise his
dental sirup. The trouble arose
soon after the birth of Mr.. Jones'
grandson. Being much gratifed by
the resemblance to him which many
of the diplomatic mothers in Slow
bury detected in the features of Or
lando Vance LII, Mr.. Jones COM
posed tender poem which he en-
titled ga Pigmy Counterpart
When he opened the paper, of
which he had ordered one dozen
copies, he saw at the head of the
column his poem under the title GA

What Allied Her Pulse.

Little Bessie was recovering from
"run of fever" and her appetite
had begun to assert itself. "Can't I
have more than this, mamma ?" she
asked, looking at the meager slice
Of toast and the Shadow tea" that
had been brought to her bedside.
"This isn't half enough"
81 am afraid to give you more
just yet, DEAR" said her mother.
1eYour fever is not quite all gone.
Your pulse is still too quick"
'But don't you see, mamma"
urged Bessie, "that it's my excite
ment because I can't get enough to
eat that makes my pulse SO quick?"
