Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup-the cough syrup that tastes nearly as good as maple sugar and which children like so well to take. Unlike nearly all other cough remedies, it does not constipate. but on the other hand it acts promptly yet gently on the bowels, through which the cold is forced out of the system, and at the same time 1t allays inflammation. Always use Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup. Sold by finders Jacobsen.

THE FAULT OF "sMARTNEss. {,

Do not be smart" Whenever you
see any Of your mates showing signs
OF "smartness" in his work, his talk
or his play, take him by the hand, or
both hands, or by the back of the
neck, If necessary, and lovingly,
playfully, but firmly, lead him to a
knowledge of higher and more inter-
esting things.
In the light Of recent events" the
above quotation from Kipling's abun-
dant store Of knowledge Of men and
things, and the proper manner Of
handling both, may not be amiss.
If, However, we are going into the
business Of censoring others acts,
and constituting ourselves judges of
who and what is Smart" let us be
very careful in the matter-espe-
cially If we attempt to follow to the
letter Mr.. Kipling's advice to take
him by the hand, or both hands, or
by the back of the neck, If neces-
sary," and thus lead the way to "a
knowledge of higher and more inter-
esting things" 1t might even be
well when we advance to the last
step and go at 1t "by the back Of the
neck" to consider somewhat the rel
ative merits of muscle, lest this good
humor be turned into pathos, with
ourselves well to the fore on the pa
thetic side. Even eliminating this
more strenuous side of the que stion,
which is fraught with no end of latent
possibilities, may We not be equally
smart" in the eyes Of those we seek
to correct, by criticism, by insinua-
ton or "by the back Of the neck"
and ourselves merit even more than
we can give our smart" friend?
Kipling's advice is good, and Kipling
doubtless would be able to practice
1T without bringing himself Iii for
adverse criticism. Unfortunately we
are not all Kiplings. Let us consider
well, therefore, before We attempt to
follow his advice, lest we get only to
the point Of taking our erring friend
by the hand, when we find ourselves
taken suddenly-possibly rudely-by
the back Of the neck.
