A Wonderful Ride.

The most wonderful straightaway ride ever made by man was the gsllop of Francis Xavier Aubrey, ci-devant Canadian voyageur and a famous pony express rider, from Santa Fe, N. M, to Independence, Mo, in 1858 - 500 miles in i've days and thirteen hours. In 1852 he had covered the same dis tance in a little over eight days, and his record was on the wager of S1,0O0 that he "cOuld do it in an even eight" In the whole distance he did not stop to rest, and he changed horses only with every 100 or 200 miles. He was a stocky French Canadian, light hearted, genial, adventurous and absolutely fearless. For some time he was an overland freighter, and he also made the enormously difficult and dangerous drive of a flock of sheep from New Mexico to California. across the deserts of the Colorado. He was killed in San ta Fe.-MCClure's Magazine.

Early Autograph Hunters.

4 certain Atossa in early Roman days seems to have been the mother of au- tograph collectors. Cicero had a collec- ton, which must have been a fine one, for he speaks of 1t with particular pride. The fever, even in those far back days, was contagious. Pliny speaks of Pompeius Secundus, at whose house he had seen autographs of Cicero, Augustus, Virgil and the Gracchi, and his own collection was valued at $15,OOO of our money. Then came the thrush of barbarians, and we do not again meet with the collector until the beginning of the sixteenth century, when he reappears in the per son of a Bohemian squire, who kept a book to record his exploits in the chase and enriched 1t with the signatures of bis great hunter friends.

The Grip

"Before we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered our selves" No one can relize the suffer- ing attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he has had the actual ex- perience. There is probably no disease that causes so much phsical and mentsl agony, or which 80 successfully deies medical aid, All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has not recovered.

When Death coo1r His sting.

There is a curious superstition in Ja- maica that If a death occurs in the house all the water in 1t Is poisoned at once and must be thrown away, the reason given being that death cOols his sting" after destroying life in the first water he finds, and as no one can tell-death being invisible-what jaI he may choose it is safest to throw 1t all away.
