A COnSumptive Cough.

A cough that bOthers you continually
is one of the danger signals which warn
of consumption. DR.. Kings New Dis
covery stops coughs, loosens the chest,
banishes fever and lets you sleep peace
fully. The first dose checks the symp-
toms and gives prompt relief. Mrs. A.
F. Mertz, of Glen Ellyn, Iowa, writes:
"Dr. Kings New Discovery cured stub
born cough after six weeks dOctOring
failed to help" Try it, as it will do the
same for you. Best medicine for coughs,
colds, throat and lung troubles. Money
back if it fails. Price SOC and $1.00.

continued:
After l had, with my best atten-

other visit and returned him his book
with due acknowledgment Of the
favor he had done me in communicate

liked it and What l thought of 1t,
which l modestly but freely told him;
and after some further discourse about
it, | pleasantly said to him: Thou
hast said much here of Paradise Lost,
but what hast thou to say Of Para

Millions cottage is at the end of
the picturesque irregular village
street. It's windows look out on fields
and hedgerows and on the fragrant
garden which seems to be but a part
of them.
The back of the house joins on to
other houses, in appearance hardly
less interesting than itself. In one of
them Breakspeare, Millions publisher,
once lived. 1t Is still g. charming
place in spite of the fact that one of
IT'S rooms has become butcher
shop; that joints Of meat hang in one
of its windows. Another house calls
itself ''The Old Cottage" and claims
to be the oldest in the village. This
is shop, too, but of far more artistic
quality, a curiosity shop, with all
sorts of quaint things, peculiar to the
county or connected with it's worthless.
The back windows look out on the
cherry orchard which stretched from
Millions cottage to Breakspeare'
farm. 1t is said that Milton used to
find mis- way thither through the or
chard, guiding himself by the tree
trunks. In fancy one could see the
blind poet stepping slowly through
the rich grass, holding out his hands
to touch the familiar trees.

Mr.. Summer, the former, rising to take
his leave, said: We'll, Summer, you
may be right, but should just as soon
think of joining society for the sup
