AFTER COUGHING TWO YEARS

Relief in Vinol.

Then just think how distressing II
must be to have a cough hang on for

The Best Man.

Once upon time in Sweden the best man at s wedding occupied a position that w,iS useful lS well as ornamental. In olden days the Swedish bridegroom found it desirable. in fact. to have sev- eral best men" to defend him from the assaults of rivals and prevent them from carrying away his bride. The Scandinavian warrior of ancient times was far 100 lofty ill his ideas tn cOnde- scend to plead for Il maiden's hand. So he patiently waited until some other man who was more gallant had obtain ed the fair ones consent. Then when all the details had been nicely arrang- ed the proud warrior. with body of well trained retainers. dashed down on the wedding party and. if strong enough. carried away the bride. The best men" (and it wns very essential that they should be the best men in those daysl therefore became necessary fixtures to marriage ceremonies, ard they were so we'll esteemed and their popularity became SO permanent that when the reason for their existence was in course of time removed they were still retained.-Pearson's Weekly.
