Best Cough Medicjne for Children.

When you buy cough medicine for
small children you want one in which you
can place implicit confidence. You want
one that not only relieves but cures.
You want one that is unquestionably harm
less. You want one that is pleasant to
take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets
all Of these conditions. There is nothing
SO good for the coughs and colds incident
to childhood. It is also certain preYen-
tive and cure for Group, and there is no
danger whatever from whoOping cough
when it is given. It has been used in many
epidemics Of that disease with perfect sue
cess. For sale by 4. s. Marshall, Wood

The labor question in Washington and
their representatives from other parts Of
the country have been thrown into con-
dition of extinguishable rage by what they
call the duplicity and hyprocisy of the Re-
publican party in relation to labor legisla-
ton. Mr.. GOmpers is so angry that un-
comfortable emotion dams the flow Of his
talk. For ten years now a Republican
Congress has promised to pass an eight
hour law and an anti-injunction law, for the
protection of the mechanics and other
manual laborers of the land. But every
year on the close approach Of adiournment

He had followed a plow on his
Kansas farm with moderate success
and, having accumulated a surplus of
shekels, he and his faithful wife start
ed on a tour of the coast. They came
westward on a Santa Fe train and had
planned to return home by the long
est, roundabout way in order to get
the biggest possible ride for their
money. Like many other Eastern
visitors, when they reached California
they loitered about until the farmer
realized that if he went back to Kan
sas over the route he had contemplate
ed he would arrive too late to plant
the seed for the coming seasons crop.
He called at the local Santa Fe Office,
talked with Passenger Agent Duffy
concerning a rerouting and Duffy
agreed to place the matter before AS
sistant General Passenger Agent Greg
ory.
Rerouting of travellers is an under
taking that involves much clerical
work for the railroads. for reappor-
tionments of rates have to be made
and much trouble is given the audit
ing departments of the different trans
portation companies. which share in
the proceeds of the traffic. In con-
sequence a rule has been adopted that
only in cases of sickness or some
other great emergency will a change
in the routing of round trip tickets be
authorized. Gregory reminded Duffy
of this fact and remarked as he
glanced through the door of his Of
fee toward the expectant farmer and
his wife:

the gravel had been removed after
thawing it out with ordinary steam

long and seven inches in diameter

startling suddenness yesterday after
noon, when it began to snow green

AT first nobody knew where the
money came from, except that it came
and that it was money. The members
of the Literary and Crap Club were not
the only persons who saw the flakes Of
long green fiuttering on the breezes of
Broadway. Scores of pedestrians join
ed in the chase after the elusive bills:
conductors and motormen deserted
their posts, and presently. as the bills
settled here and there, Broadway was
treated to the biggest game OF scram-
BILE ever seen.
So great was the uproar and excite
ment over the fact that the flying bills
were of all denominations from 81 to-
$50 that nobody noticed a little, weep
ing woman in black standing by the
Greeley statue. She was the owner OF
the money-$1O00 in all-which she had
just drawn from the Dime Savings
Bank. In crossing the street she had
dropped the roll, which was caught up
and whisked away by the mischievous
breeze before she had time to recover
it.
She made known the facts to Police

When friends of George +. Hatton,

net and a few other kindred spirits.
Some one remarked that there was
s160. 100000 in the Mint. Hatton
dropped his knife and fork on his
plate and a faraway look stole over
his features as he murmured,
wouldn't that jar you?" He remained
silent for minute and then brighten
ing up said, do you know how that
coin could be got? No? Well I'll
tell you.
There are twenty-four watchmen,
believe, at the Mint. Give each
watchmen say $4,000, in all $780,
900. There are about 500 policemen
and $4,000 to each would make S16'-
100000. That would enable you to
get into the Mint without interference
You could buy a ship for $1,25O,OOO
and for carting the coin to the ship
and subsidy to the captain and crew
say s1.000,000. These sums total $685.
100000. You could sail to one of the
South American republics and if your
destination were discovered you could
hire an army for say $50,O00,000 and
still you would have S1,270,000 at
your disposal. Isn't it a great
scheme ?"
There was no answer to his ques-
ton; the other diners simply stared at
each other and one of them signif-
icantly touched his forehead. The
others nodded.
