To the Housewife

Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to lead
to serious diseases. A child is much
more likely to contract diphtheria or scar
let fever when it has cold. If you will
inquire into the merits of the various
remedies. that are recommended for
coughs and colds, you will find that Cham
berain's Cough Remedy stands high in
the estimation of people who use it, 1t
is prompt and effectual, pleasant and safe
to take, which are qualities especially to
be desired when medicine is intended
for children. For sale by all dealers.

John BROWN HOUSE.
.|SSTAND|NG TODAY
Occupied by "Liberator" While
Preparing for Raid on
Harpers Ferry.
REGARDED BY NEIGHB0RS
AS A "FINE OLD MAN"
Won Popularity in Community,
Which Was Surprised When Out,
break Occurred.

Within few hours ride of Washing
ton Is still standing the house occupied
by John Brown and his followers dur
ing the time that he marshaled his
forces and prepared for the raid on
the government arsenal at Harpers
Ferry. Though the hand of time has
destroyed the arsenal, the site Of which
the inhabitants will point out, there
are still many things left to bring up
memories of the raiding days to the
few people left in the vicinity who re-
member the church-loving man. who
masqueraded under the name of Isaac
Smith, and who was liked by his neigh
bors.
1t was in the early part of the sum-
mer of 1859 that this party appeared
at a small village across the Potomac
river from Harpers Ferry and at the
base of Maryland Heights which was
then. and still is, called Sandy Hook.
They engaged board with a villager
whose name was Ormond Butler.
The elder and the leader of the party
was stern and pious old man, who
gave his name as Isaac Smith. The
three members of his party. who were
his sons, made no secret OF that fact
and. of course, they also passed under
the name of Smith.
Posed as Prospectors.
Joseph Barry, the historian Of
Harpers Ferry and the chonicler of
number of the legends of western
Maryland and western Virginia. who
was living at Harpers Ferry at the
time of the raid and had personal ac-
quaintance with all the chief and petty
actors in that wild tragedy, writing
of the appearance of the John Brown
or the Isaac Smith party at Sandy
Hook, says:
They represented themselves as be-
ing prospecting for minerals and they
took frequent and long rambles with
GUS peaks of the Blue Ridge noun
tains."
After their stay at Sandy Hook dur
ing which Isaac Smith. and his confed-
crates had gained all the information
concerning the arsenal at Harpers
Ferry which they believed would be
valuable to them, the old man and his
sons rented farm about six miles
north of Harpers Ferry, on the west
side of Elk Ridge.
When John Brown rented the farm he
paid the rental in advance and up to
the following March, five months after
the attack on the arsenal, which was
three months later Brown was dead.
