tain in this text gives not the slightest hint or indication of the character of the man who fell among the thieves; that in , "the original" as he called it. the word is "tis,' which word may be properly applied to any sort of man, good or bad; that 1t means no more than our indefinite article 'a," and that "a certain man is equivalent in meaning to "a man. no matter who" And the plague of the thing is that as soon as these things are stated, one cannot help seeing that they are true. An acquaintance of mine, who was a member of the senate of Virginia, was accused of lying. In conversation about the matter, he said that he would not have so much minded the charge If the fellow had not come so near proving it."

Desperate Struggle i'm Air.

New York, Oct. 11.---Atop the
great iron tower at the Brooklyn end
OF the williamsburg bridge q thrill

hundred of persons looked on from
below. An insane man. who had
eluded the tower watchman, climbed
an iron stairway at the top of the
tower, 553 feet above the East river
and was preparing for leap into
the river when two policemen climb
ed after him.
The appearance Of the policemen
distracted the man from his purpose
and he turned upon the blue coats
with razor. The insane man rush

narrow footing at the dizzy height a
10-minute battle took place which
held all who witnessed it speechless
with horror.
Back and forth the trio struggled
now on the verge Of topping to de-
struction and then tottering back to
the center of the small platform. TO
those who gazed aloft it seemed
hours instead of minutes before the
man was overpowered. Then he was
handcuffed and taken, still strug-

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do
not for moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Every one knows
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development Of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t 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 a cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made it staple article Of trade
over large part Of the world. For
