During l.. T. Cooper's recent stay
in Boston, it is estimated that sixty
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicine. This
is an average Of over two thousand a
day.
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and the press. There must
be q reason for this. Here Is the
reason given in his own words by Mr..
Cooper when interviewed on the sub
ject. He said:
"The immense numbers Of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
is not unusual. I have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever I have gone. The reason is
q simple one. It is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach In good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual,
but it is in fact the key to health. The
stomach is the very foundation of
life. I attribute 80 per cent. 1 of
all sickness directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main well with poor digestive appa-
ratus. Few can be sick with a diges-
ton in perfect condition: As matter
of fact, most men and women today
are half.sick. It is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into half
sick condition. My medicine gets the
stomach back where it was, and that
Is all that is necessary"
Among Boston people who are
staunch believers In Mr.. Cooper's
theory, ia NJ. Frank D. Brown, OF 81

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, lone Of the
objects of the law is to inform the con-
sumer Of the presence of certain harmful
drugs in medicines" The law requires
that the amount Of chloroform, opium,
morphine, and other habit forming
drugs be stated on the label Of each
bottle. The manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con-
tain any Of these drugs, and the truth
Of this claim is now fully proven. as no
mention Of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one OF The
safest, but one Of the best in use for
coughs and colds. It's value has been
proven beyond question during the many
years it has been in general use. For

The (, JOY o. Life.

[ do not wish for riches vast,
Nor fame or high estate;
I do not care when walk past,
To have men call me great.
The Joy Of life is all I ask,
In perfect peace to dwell;
Beneath the summer sun to bask,
To live and dream spell.
Good health is but my one desire,
With just a friend or two;
A wife to love me and inspire,
In what I have to do.
The JOY of living is enough,
No greater boon can be;
Then, though my roads be e'er so
rough,
Content shall dwell with me.
For one need not be rich or great,
Or even known to fame;
Round humble cot or vast estate
Earth's glories are the same.
The same sun shines on US all,
The same stars CLEAN at night;
The flowers that deck the garden wall
The poorest man may sight.
Then grant to me the joy of life, =
And I'll not ask for more;
For in the heat of bitter strife,
know when it is o'er.
Beneath Gods sky I'll take my rest
And glory in its blue;
With peace and love within my
breast
As God meant we should do.

CLEVER SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Old Salesmans Advice Left Firm

Henry Clews is telling a new story

firm, the tale tells, overbought for

had been in the line of overcoats,
which 1t looked they would have to
carry over season. Efforts to get
cash for the stock were fruitless, ex.
cept at ruinous rates. At last the firm

REeukEp THE GREAT WRITER
American Was Not Awed by Grouchy
Poet Laureate.

writer in Harper's Weekly brings
to light an interesting anecdote OF
Tennyson which well illustrates the
singular habits Of the great laureate
in his intercourse with his friends.
The poet was not only brusque and
rough, but he was domineering and
exacting, and most other men were
afraid OF him. But an American
schoolmaster who for many years
maintained a great intimacy with him
had no fea in his heart, and sat and
smoked on an equality with the sover-
eign singer by Farringford Preside.
One evening"" says the writer,
when the two were thus together,
Tennyson said that he would depart
from his custom and narrate a per-
sonal experience; but he had suffered
a good deal from repetitions of his
tales by those to whom he had told
them, and he would be obliged to ask
his friend never to repeat what he
was, about to hear. The American
smoked on for few seconds while
Tennyson waited for the promise, and
then he said: My lord, in my coun-
try a gentleman would never make
that request of another gentleman.
Hmm said the poet, and looked
out of eyes that wondered If the
quiet smoker opposite knew how much
he'd said. Then he told the story"

flee to the late governors names,
members of his bodyguard, to signify
their zeal and hatred of the assassin,
seized Hsu's still warm heart and
cutting it up into mince meat boiled
it and served the grewsome dish
among themselves to be eaten. This
seems poor way of revenging the
death of one patron, especially since
1t was due to the very ineptitude and
subsequent panic of this very brave
bodyguard that enabled Hsu Hsi-lin
to fire so many shots, without any
kind Of hindrance, at the late En-
