Neglected Colds Threaten Life.
from the Chicago Tribune.l


"Don't trifle with cold,' is good advice
for prudent men and women. 1t may be
vital in the case of child. Proper food,
good ventilation, and dry, warm clothing are
the proper safeguards against colds. If they
are maintained through the changeable
weather of autumn, winter and spring, the
chances of surprise from ordinary colds
will be slight But the ordinary light cold
will become severe if neglected, and well
established ripe cold is to the germs of diph
iberia what honey is to the bee. The great
est menace to child life at this season of the
year is the neglected cold" Whether it is a
child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the
very best treatment that can be adopted is to
give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Il is
safe and sure. The great popularity and inn
mense sale of this preparation has been attain
ed by its remarkable cures of this ailment A
cold never results in pneumonia when it is
given. For sale by Graham & Workman.

Bobby was comforted by such a champion.
He knew that Launces people were the i'm
portant family of the village, and felt, when
Launce interfered, everything was bound to
go right.
81 do hate sneak" said Launce, hotly,
to himself, as he walked away, watching
over his shoulder to see little Bob hobble his
way up the steps into the house: I'D like
to pummel Hank Peckins till he couldn't
walk. I'll tell Mr.. Bluff, the constable, about
some of his under-handed tricks. Poor Bobby!
he isn't worth a fly to fight. And Hank is
nothing but bully"
It had been arranged that clique of his
village friends were TO go out to skate on the
encountered Mr.. Bluff. =
He was still full of angry indignation, and
SO he stopped the constable and vehemently
told the story of little Bob Dorrity's perse
cution.
II never thought Hank was very bad boy
at heart" said Mr. Bluff; "he's only idle and
ignorant. His father beats him about once
a day, and all he knows is to be brutal in
turn, See if you can't work on him in some

him this minute I'd batter his carrotty head

Peclins, that little Bob Dorrity is lame. He
doesn't have much fun; now don't you bother
him. How'd that do?'
"Wel" doubtfully, II don't know. Seems
to me he's only mean sneak, without any
good in him."
And Launce's fingers clatched his palms as
If they wished they were inside Hanks collar
and could choke him.
'sHe's rough and he's coarse, but he isn't
all bad. Try coaxing"
LAunce, a trihe cooled in his wrath hur-
ried toward home. He tried to turn the mat
ter over and over in his mind from this other
point of view. But he was still inclined to
feel that only fght-a thraahing, a physical
punishment of some kind-would give flank
Peckins what he deserved.
After supper, he slung his skates over his
shoulder and started for the pond.
he encountered more than one of his mates
bound for the same sport. With their gay
banter and talk, he gradually forgot the twif-
light episode with little Bob Dorrity.
When he reached the pond, there were al
ready good many black figures skimmfne
over its surface in the light Of the Just rising
moon.
The very first one he distinguished among
them was Hank Peeixins He came sweer
ing up the shore, and in his free-and-easv
way, called out Hello, Kingsley!" and passed

fall in an air-hole and go under" said Launce,
hotly.
'Why?" asked chorus of voices.
He's no good! saw him serve small
chap the meanest trick this afternoon-little
Bob Dorrity, the lame boy"
Mean? Hank isn't SO bad" said another
one. Not more IMAM an hour ago he hauled
a fellow out down by the dam. He'd gone
too near the edge and broke in, and Hank
got him out at the risk of their both going
over the dam together"
Somehow, every one seems to take Hank g
part" thought LAunce; "and | can't see
why"
The next encounter with Hank was on the
way home.
With lungs full of fresh air, and spirits
were tramping along in the moonlight toward
town.
Hank made himself one of them, with his
usual lack of delicate feeling.
The intrusion irritated Launce. He made
up his mind to be rid of him. So he said
"Boys, l saw the very meanest trick done
this afternoon l ever saw in my life. And i
I could have caught the scoundrel that did it
I'd have thrashed him."
'What was it?" they all asked, curiously.
Launce told the story.
How contemptible!" they all exclaimed.

we must do tomorrow. We will build Bob
Dorrity a regular giant-the very best old
Colossus that can be made OF snowbalis Wen
see whether any one1l dare touch that"
All agreed to this with enthusiasm.
When they reached the village, IAunce's
way Law apart from his companions, his home
being the only one on the hill. He had not
gone more than a rod or two alone when he
heard steps behind him.

"That,s fine sport" scornfully. "a little

Launce waited minute and then laughed
aloud. What could this lout be made Of, tol

dazed at Hanks coolness

half-amused and halfdisgusted
Next day half-dozen boys entered the
Dorrity gate. Bob was on the watch, and
Hoppy, too.
Presently over the back fence came Hank.
Bob screamed in terror at the sight of him,
and Hoppy cried:
Go way; go 'way!"
Never mind Hank" said Launce, reassur-
ingly. He's going to help
Hank set to work, without any appearance
He rolled the largest balls. He heaped
them. His eye took the best measure of pro-
portions. He brought water to pour over the
work at intervals, SO it would freeze solid.
He did all the heaviest tasks. He directed,
suggested and worked so well, that all were
In entire harmony with him before an hour
had passed.
It was growing colder and colder, and the
boys had to go home to dinner. When they
were passing out of the Dorrity gate, Hank
said:
"Launce, s'pose Bobby and his little
sister think that's Sanity Claus, but It amt
He ought to have pack and--and some
things in it. The DorTitys are poor, You
know. I'll cut spruce up in the woods. You
see we might put things on to the tree, and
sling that over his shoulder, eh?"
The plan was arranged theL and there.
1t was rather late when Hank, with two or
three followers, again entered the Dorrity
dooryard.
He had a slim spruce saplng on his back,
and it had a lot of curious colored punches
on it-some shining things, some paper bags
and dangling doll. Hank rested the tree
across, the giants right shoulder and fixed It
securely in the snow muscles of its great arm.
And there all night stood the white giant,
with his pipe and tree and sled, and there he
stood white and still just the same when Bob
and Hoppy awoke next morning.
They cried with wonder and Joy.
The tree was got down from old Santa
Claus back and set up in the house The
sled was ready to use at once on the glaring
sidewalk.
A week or two after Iaunce met Mr.. Bluff
on the street.
"How about Hank Peckins?" asked the
constable. "Is he as mean as ever?
"Oh, no. He sometimes acted worse than

after ALL"
"Yes; if he'd had any bringing up he'd have
made tip-top man. Don't thrash him-show

hesitatingly:
"Oh-nothingl"
''Let me help you," the voice said again.
And, with slouching leap, Hank Peckins

through the snow to where Bob had been so
happily at work all the afternoon.

the clumsy figure he had made. "hoppy and
were playing, you know"
Hoppy was his sister, and had toiled until
her tired little back was fit to break rolling
big snowballs for Bob to pile up into legs
and trunk and arms and lastly crowning
one for the head
Nothing could have scared him worse than
to have Hank Peckins appear just then.
Hanks sociable tone had not deceived him.
He was sure it meant mischief.
"What do you call him now"
'eHoppy called him Santa Caua," timidly
'It's most Christmas, you know"
Hank laughed aloud again.
He approached the figure with outstretched
hand. but Cne instant ne was near enOuBn,
he dealt it heavy blow with his fist that
knocked its head off. Another welldirected
stroke on the chest left only the legs stand
ing, and departing kick demolished them.
"Good-by, Sanity Claus" he called, as he
strode away, chuckling, to the back fence,
and vauted over it again into the alley.
At the first movement of the cruel fist,
Bob had screamed out in helpless anguish.
.TWhat is it, Bob? What did he do?"
It was a kind voice that spoke now, with
pity in it. There was straight, alert boy at
his side, with hand on his shoulder.
"Oh, he spoiled my man-Hoppy's and mine.
He knocked him all to pieces. Oh, OIL"
"Who? The Peelins boy! I thought

"Yes-Hank. He always does it."

Bob told his pitiful story-how he and

lighter, they were going to put real pipe in

and friendly; but Bob gave start
and half gasp, and then answered.

WILD FLOWER ROCKERY.
Suggestions For Beautifying Yards
of Town III

In the garden. where flowers and
foliage plants gathered from the woods
and fields are grown, natural condi-
tons should be initiated as nearly as
possible, says the Washington Star.
Most of the earliest wild flowers prefer
some shade. There is no better way
Of providing this than by planting
them in q rockery in the front or back
yards. 1t can be built of a few loads of
weather stained stones arranged in Il
mound, leaving recesses of varying
Sizes for pockets in which to put soil
and plants.
AS in a bed, the soil for the plants
should be thoroughly enriched With fer
dlfzer, and the flowers should be care
fully watered until they are we'll es-
tablished. The rockery may be made
beautiful with a score of plants and
ferns that grow in the woods through
out the country even near the largest
towns, only awaiting some one who
cares enough to dig them up.
The columbines. liverworts, saxifra-
gas, lady's slippers, anemones or wind
flowers, gentians, may apples, violets
and many hardy ferns, including the
beautiful m~aidenhair, are widely dis
tributed. Spring flowers which do we'll

Making the Streets Attractive.

We shall need to bestir ourselves
more than we have done if We ever
catch up with some of the cities in
Europe, no only in the matter of good
municipal government, but also in the
less important, though none the less
valuable, particular of municipal adorn-
ment, says Leslie's Weekly. France
and Belgium are far in advance Of us
in laws and regulations affecting bill
posting and other forms of public ad-
vertising and also in the encourage.
ment offered in various ways to pri-
vate citizens to cooperate in the work
of identifying streets, parks, resi-,
dences and public buildings. An an
nual prize has been granted by the
Paris municipal council for some years
past for the most artistically designed
house front, and recently a competition
has been opened in Paris under the
same auspices for the most artistic
signboards, the prizes offered being
sufficient to stimulate the efforts of the
best living French artists. The posi-
bilities lying in this direction of add
ing to the beauty and attractiveness of
business streets are obviously very
great.

A Fair Divide Wanted.

The tariff protected trusts having in
creased the cost of living nearly 30 per
cent, for which the Republican leaders
are responsible by standing pat, the
voters at the late election gave the
G. o. p. a jolt just to remind it that
patience was ceasing to be a virtue.
Two or three corporations closely allied
with the Republican party, therefore,
gave notice that the wages of their en-
ployees will be raised 10 per cent, and
their organ, the Pittsburg Gazette
Times, boasts, "The very first thing
that triumphant Republicanism does is
to raise wages all around" This open
confession that triumphant Repub-
licanism" is closely allied with the
trusts and corporations should be kept
in mind by those who only get 10 per
cent to pay so per cent increase on
what they have to spend and prepare
to make the next jolt they administer
to the party Of trusts and special
privileges enough harder so as to force
the corporations to make a fair divide
Of their protected profits.
