quires that the amount of c~hlorotorm,

bottle. The manufacturers of Cham

claimed that their remedy did not con-

An Unhappy Comparison.

A country minister had just received
his first call to the charge Of a small
church, and his wife, of course, was
highly excited-so much so that she
was obliged to tell everybody of the
good news.
One day she met n farmers wife and
began the conversation.

my husband has just secured the in.

lady, q" quite understand your feel

The Lady In tho Moon.

An amateur astronomer writes of the
lady In the MOON" ut is a very beau
titul face seen in profile and uplifted,
as though in proud disdain of things
terrestrial. The curve Of the throat Is
exquisite, and indeed the entire outline
Is marvelously lifelike. The moon
lady may best be observed through a
small opera glass when our satellite Is
at half. AT that time the tip Of the
chin about touches the terminator-
that Is, the dividing line between the
light and dark portions Of the lunar
surface. Most people can recognize
the man In the moon Well, the hair
or the lady, in which I can always fan
cy l see a spray OF orange blossom,
forms the mans left eye, the nose and
mouth his nose, and the chin and
throat the mans mouth"

RECEIVERS FOR
SEABOARD ROA
Federal Cont Has Charge of Properi
of Big Railway Systematic
Courts Decree.

Richmond, January 2.-Judge Pritch
Ffd, of the United States circuit cour
sthe eastern district of Virginia. tbi
{fning entered a decree naming s
YVES Warfield, of Baltimore, Md.
saaand X. Lancaster Williams, Of Rich
mond, receivers for the Seaboard All,
Linz railway. Bond is required in the
sum Of fifty thousand dollars each, con.
ditioned on faithful performance of du.
ties and with sufficient sureties to be
approved by the court.
About six typewriter age are coy-
cred by the decree, and the cause of
which 1t is entered is nominally desig-
mated as:
~"seaboard Air Line railway, COM
plalnant VS.. the Continental Trust Co.
as trustees under the first MORTGAGE
made by Seaboard Ar Line railway
defendant.
Broadly speaking, tbs naming of the
receivers is the result Of a sort If "con-
sent Proceedings" 3 other words. all

contention or squabbling among the
lawyers appearing before Judge Pritch-
aad. Receiver Warfield is said to be-
long to the Ryan faction in the Sea-
board Air Line management, while Re-
ceiver Williams, of course. is known as
the representative of John Shelton
Williams and his following.
The development today is a complete
victory for John Shelton Williams, who,
single-handed, has waged his tremen-
dous fight against Ryan. The surren-
der of the Ryan-Blair element is uncon-
ditional, the appointment of a Will
liams as a receiver meaning, practi-
cally, that the road goes back under the
old control and management. 1t is said
that Williams, when the question of u
receiver was first mentioned, refused
absolutely to treat with Ryan or Judge
Watts, forcing that element to practi-
cally sue for terms.
The statement of Seaboard officials
that the new restrictive State laws
aimed at all railroads are responsible
for the troubles in the Seaboard is posi-
lively denied here. No such charge is
made in the bill, and in fact it is def
nitely stated that the road, if ade-
quately and honestly managed, would
be on a paying basis in spite of reduced
revenues entailed by these laws. The
recent decrease in earnings of the Sea-
board is charged to increased taxes and
operating expenses, nothing whatever
being said about reduced passenger
rates. This statement is madeby those
in close touch with the WilliaHses, who
now have control of the properties.
The receivers are fully authsrized to
''take immediate possession Of all the
property of the corporation in he union
and to continue the operation Of said
railroad system, and to run ano operate
the said railroads and such other rail-
roads and property as the corporation
holds, and in such manner as will, in
their judgment, produce the most atis-
factory results, and to exercise the au-
thority and franchises of the COMPLAIN
AM; AND to cnnact sys0ten,aticaF the
business and occupation of a common
carrier of passengers and freight"

Don't Take the Risk.

When you have a bad cough or cold
do not let it drag along until it becomes
chronic bronchitis or develops into an
attack of pneumonia, but give it the
attention it deserves and get rid of it.
Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
you are sure of prompt relief. From a
small beginning the sale and use of this
preparation has extended to all parts of
the United States and to many foreign
countries. Its many remarkable cures
of coughs and colds have won for it this
wide reputation and extensive use.

He writes for that exceedingly large
class" said Mr. Sinclair, namely, cid
erly and ugly women who have an af-
lection, naturally unrequited for young
and handsome men, All his heroines
verge on forty. They all love in vain
Apollos of twenty-four or twenty-five.
And if you'll notice his readers you'll
find they are nearly always ugly spin
sters of forty or fifty.
oh he's canny," said Mr.. Sinclair,
with a laugh. HE reminds me Of old
Reverdy Scarlet of my native Balti-

"Reverdy, in return for favor of
some kind, set out one day to give a
young Baltimore business man some
good advice.

Yes, sir was the reply.
"'And have you got any credit

things" said Mr. Batonyi, there's a
trick that one must learn. 1t is SO
with book writing.
1T is so with horsemanship of all
kinds. | remember once, in a Hun
garian village, seeing two aged farmers
dickering over the sale of a horse. Such
honest old chaps they looked. Who
would have imagined there was any
thickness in either?
But when one of the farmers called
his son out of the inn and said, Get on
this horse and ride it about l heard
the youth whisper in the old mans
ear:
