URGENT INVITATIONS.
Unique Method of German Police
COmmIssiOner to Compel n visit
from His Friends.

An American doctor who had re-
ceived his degree from a certain Ger
man university recently paid a visit
/ to his foreign alma mater, relates the
/ Youths Companion. He had not been
in the town since his graduation, ten
I years before, and the first few days Of
his visit were pleasantly spent in re-
newing his acquaintance with well-re-
membered hauRts. This stirring up Of
old recollections brought with it de-
sire to see some Of his former college
friends, chief among them a certain
Herr Schmidt, a brilliant scholar and
entertaining companion.
On the fourth morning Of his stay
the doctor started out with the de-
termination to hunt up his friend, Herr
Schmidt. lie had hardly left the hotel,
however, when a smartly dressed po-
liceman stepped up TO him from be-
hind, and touching him on the arm,
inquired IL he was not DR.. Saunders Of
New York. The American replied that
he was.
"ln that case said the policeman,
Il shall have to place you under arrest.
Please be so good as to follow me"
Arrest" stammered the doctor.
'What for? It's an outraged"
Perhaps" said the policeman, "but
have my orders and you must come
with me-"
The American was indignant, but
seeing that there was no help for it.
he suffered himself to be escorted to
the guard-house. Here, after a brief
examination, he was curtly told to seat
himself upon a bench already occupied
by another flushed and sullen-looking
prisoner.
He had been there only a few min
utes when a carriage drove up. and a
loud, authoritative voice greeted the
officer at the door:
you have got the two criminals?
Goodl Let me see them!"
"The Herr Commissioner himself"
exclaimed the captain, rising from his |
desk. These must be desperate fell
lows"
There was the ring Of footsteps along |
the corridor. and the prisoners looked |
up to see, advancing toward them with
outstretched hands and twinkling eyes,
the tall form of Herr Schmidt
Il am delighted to see you, doctor,
and you, too, Mr.. Watsonl Pray let
me introduce you. Therel Now step
out to my carriage, and we will have
a drive and return to my house for
lunch. You are my guests for the
day"
As the two desperate fellows" took
their places in the carriage with a sigh
Of relief. Herr Schmidt added.
Il hope you will pardon my method
Of making up a party, but | learned
in the course Of my official business
that you were in the city, and as there
seemed to be no inclination on your
part to look me up, took this means
Of securing your company"

Congratulations.

Mr.. John II. Cullom, Editor Of the

letter Of congratulations to the manu-
facturers OF Chamberlain's Cough Re-
medy as follows: sixteen years ago
when our first child was baby he was
subject to croupy spells and we would
be very uneasy about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in 1887, and finding it such a reliable
remedy for colds aud Group, we have
never been without it in the house since
that time. We have five children and
have given it to ali Of them with good
results. One good feature Of this reme-
dy is that it is not disagreeable to take
and our babies really like it, Another
is that it is not dangerous, and there is
no risk from giving an overdose. /
