THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack Of la grippe
is like fire, the sooner you combat
1t the better your chances are to
overpower it. But few mothers in this
age are willing to do the necessary
work required to give a good old
fashioned reliable treatment such as
would be administered by their grand
mothers, backed by Boschee's German
Syrup, which was always literally
used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and Is still in great
er household favor than any remedy.
But even without the application of
the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure a severe cold in quick time.
1t will cure colds in children or grown
people. 1t relieves the congested or
gans, allays the irritation, and ef-
fectively stops the cough. Any child
will take It, 1t Is invaluable in a
household of children. Trial size bot

There haye been columns amount
ing to yolumns written apropos the
whipping post since the Presidents
message has recalled attention to that
substantial device. But the whole
truth has not been rold, and because
of the delicacy or supersensitiveness
of the modern ear, cannot be told. In
every family the patriarchal form of
government theoretically or actually
still exists and must exist until the
family is abolished. There must in
all government be head-a source
of authority-with power to enforce
authority Happily in most families,
this authority is patriarchal, hui
namely, benignly exercised. In many
American families it is matriarchal,
where the husband and children SEN
sibly obey the wise rule of the SUI
perior mother. But there are other
families where, for example, the hus
band spends all the money, pawns
his wife's wedding ring, the family
bible, the children's school books and
takes the blanket off the bed of his
sick child for drink. Will anyone say
that his wife ought not to beat him?
But, on the other hand, it is some,
times the wife who does unspeakable
things. So here we are. The law and
the courts have no adequate substi
tutefor patriarchal government. There
are some instances in which prompt
family chastisement is the only posi-
bleremedy andis justified even though
it may be inflicted ON the father or
mother who are sometimes the worst
children in the household. But this
is no argument against the whipping
post BY all means let us have it
back with some other things pertain
ing to the simple life of yore. 1t is
said it will brutalize the whippee.
Then all the more let us have it if it
will exalt him to the level of those
clean, patient kindly and moral ami
mails we call brutes, it will do what
all the prisons and other moral re-
form enginery have pitifully failed to
do.

BuRT'S THEATRE.

The attraction at Burt's for the last
half of this week is Vance s. Sullivan's
great scenic production, "a Light
house By the Sea-" which tells a
strong story of loye and intrigue.
During the course of the play the
strong scenic features produce great
thrill among the audience. The light
house is seen where the william extin-
guishes the light and as ship is about
to be wrecked on that account. a girl
siezes a burning torch and walks
across the water on a clothes line to
the lighthouse and relights the lamp
IN time to save the ship. 1t is scene
of thrilling realism, and is said to
fairly sweep the audience off its feet
in a frenzy of excitement.

LYcEuM THEATRE.

"1he Village Postmaster" will be
the attraction at the Lyceum on
Thursday. The play opens in vii
lage tore and post Office, which
changes to the village green on Gen.
eral Training day, when law abiding
citizens were compelled to turn out
and drill This constituted the militia
of the village when Franklin Pierce
was president. The village band ap-
pears and enlivens the festivities,
speech making, a dance by the village
girls and general jollitication which
ends with sudden shower of rain
driving all to shelter. The rain is real
and the act ends with some amusing
situations. The second act shows a
country minister's sitting room with
fire in the fireplace and the snow
and sleighbells outside the window.
This is the scene of the minister's do
nation party and every one comes to
give the minister something and have
some music and fun. The third act is
the farm yard and threshing day on
the farm-an old-fashioned threshing
machine at work. The fourth act is
the interior of the village church with
the interrupted wedding.
