because you have contracted or
dinary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind. do not
for q moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin In a common cold. Con-
sumption 10 not caused by a cold, but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development Of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. II Is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever. measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks In q cold than in any
other Of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
colds Is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures
ehected by this preparation have
made II a staple article OF trade over
a large part Of the world. For sale

vICTOR's SPEECH.
How the Wonderful Leader Addressed
an Audience I'm q Southern College
Town.

In a certain college town, when
Signor Victor and his Venetian Band
were making their first Southern tour
under the direction of the Radcliffe
Entertainment Bureau. Victor had an
experience which neither he nor the
audience In likely to forget. The band
bad played several heavy classical
Numbers which were most enthusiast
ically received and In recognition CT
the applause the band responded with
the beautiful old Southern melody,
Way Down Upon the Swanee River"
The audience was fairly electrified,
and when one Of the ushers was seen
making his way toward the stage
with an immense bouquet Of roses,
the audience was intesified. Si.no-
Victor received the floral token, smil-
irg and bowling his appreciation Of
the compliment. Again the audience
applauded and then one Of those ir-
resistible college boys started to cry,
Speech! victofy speech!" His COM
panions took up the call with q shout
that nearly raised the roof. Signor
Victor who speaks but little English
was plainly embarrassed and for just
a single moment looked as though he
would have preferred to have been
roaming the vine clad hills Of his ma
tive Italy rather facing that audience.
His embarrassment. however. was but
Tor moment, then raising his hand
for silence as the inspiration came to
him, he said, Ladies and gentlemen,
speak da English yer little, but dis
my Speech" and with a wave of his
baton he brought his musicians to
their feet and then--pandemoni
reigned supreme for the band was
playing Dixie" and this was victor's
speech.
Victor and his great band will be at
the Academy Of Music tonight.

Calcutta, India 1t is serious ig.
norance of the worlds big news to be
unaware that there is at present in
India n widespread sentiment of re-
sentiment, If not actual revolt, against
Great Britain, which may at any time
find sporadic expression in revolu-
ton. Great Britain, with the self-con
hdence of the strong, does not seem
to be paying much attention to the
matter although some persons, re-
calling that this year marks the fiftieth
anniversary of the mutiny, are nerv-
ously calling public attention to GER
tain disturbing signs.
Anyone who gets as close to the ma
tives as the missionary does-which is
far closer than any other white man
knows that the foremost subject of
thought and agitation among them is
what they consider their wrongs at
the hands of the government. They
claim that they are being dealt with
in high.handed and oppressive fash
ion; that they are denied anything APP
preaching a proper measure of self.
government; that the public offices
are open to them in decreasing de-
gree, and that, in short. India is being
ruled for the welfare of Great Britain.
and not of India.
The "lndia for the indians" Cry.
Now a fair.minded observer cannot
by any means agree with all of the
positions of the Indian agltators; nor
can he withhold great deal of ad-
miration for the fairness and disin-
terestedness of the British officials.
Nevertheless, he is bound to recognize
the seriousness, not to say ominous-
ness, of this "Swadeshi" or India
for the Indians" agitation. Without
putting much credence in the talk of

this caste system, with its unbridg-
able divisions, no foreign power could
long control this nation of three hun
dred millions of people. This same
spirit Of "karma-kismet" fate, which
leads man to dull acceptance of his
lot. rather than to a cherishing of the
spirit Of sell. Improvement and ambi-
ton which marks the westerner.
keeps back the nation from develop
ment, so that its golden age is in the
past. The greatest need of India is
simply men.
AS is we'll known, the converts of
the missionaries have been chiefly
from the lowest classes-those who
are below caste. in fact, the outcasts,
the sweepers. Having nothing to lose
by accepting Christianity, thousands
of these have embraced the gospel :
and they are to-day entering the
Christian church in large numbers.
The motives of many are doubtless
mixed, but they at least afford the
missionary material on which to
work. The material is not of the best,
but it is human. Here, as in all
heather lands, it is to be borne in
mind that the missionary Is really
after his converts grandchildren; no
missionary known to me expects to
see completely transformed and
Christianized people come out of raw
heathendom.
So he bears with the shortcomings
of his Christians. He laboriously tries
to set Them on their feet, and though
they fall hundred times from the
ideals of self-respect and self-support,
coming to him with the bland assur-
ance You are my father and my
mother; please help me" he does not
! lose heart. For he has ever before his
