HOW cATARRH is CONTRACTED

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflam-
nation Of tho mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, disease
that is seldom cured and that may
proyae a life's burden. Many persons
who have this loathsome disease will
remember having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A lit
tie forethought, a bottle Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously used.
and all this trouble might have been
avoided. Obtainsble sverywhere.

The Missinu Quarter.

On a Saturday morning Philip Hart ley was sent on an errand that made him feel just as if he were grown up, like his big brother Rob, who wore a watch and chain, and who sometimes jiEgled money in his pockets. Phil's mother put three shining silver coins in his hand each one a quarter of a dollar, and told him to go dO-Rl to Peter Johns Cobbler shop for his shoes, which were having new soles and heels put on, so that he could wear them on Sunday. Also she gave him a penny to spend at Miss GIarys candy store on the way home.
 Phil had never before been trusted with so much money, and it made him feel very big and proud. He dropped the four coins into his trousers pocket and jumped them up and down a few times to hear the tinI1ling. jingling sound.
 Then with a happy Good by!" he ran out into the sunshiny garden, crawled through a hole in the picket fence, and made his way into the lane that led to the village road.
 For a while he kept his hand in his pocket and tightly gripped the four coins, as if he had feared that they would take wings and fly; but Q little later he let them toss about and Clink together, and when he came to the old oak in the lower branches of which Rob had built snug little tree house, he almost, if not quite, forgot about them.
 The ladder seemed to call to him to mount it's tiny rounds and to sit in the broad comfortable seat above, where the breeze was whispering among the leaves.
 He had never been up alone before but now he feIt old enough even. to build tree house himself. He climbed quickly upward and in a moment had reached the house. One side was open and the floor was made of huge knot ted limbs, with here and there a board to fill the spaces.
 From this shady perch he could see the village and the lake; but soon he heard the town clock striking nine, and he scrambled down to the lane again and trotted straight along to Peter Johns cobbler shop, opened the door and shouted "HellO!"
 Good morning, Friend Philip" said Peter John, reaching for PhiPs shoes, which looked as good as new. T sup pose you've come for your hoOts?"
 Yes, and I've got the money, too," said Phil putting his hand into his pocket.
 One of the quarters was missing, so back he ran over the tracks he had made, but still he could not find that quarter. He even climbed the tree, but all to no advantage. He went back to the cobbler's and paid the two quar- NCLS 1OE HIS S4O0S, say HE Ii4clL oO4llG day he would find the quarter and then he would run back to the cobbler with it.
 One winter evening, more than a year later, Phil was sitting before an open fire when he discovered some thing shining In a burning log.
 He bent forward and pulled out the log. The next moment he shouted: "Mother, here's the missing quarter!" LILLIAN M. BREHAUT. Red Bank, N. J.

"Oh, dear! Oh, daar!" sighed Mar garet "how can l possibly wait? And besides, maybe papa has sent me something, too. l might have a peep at the box, anyway" She felt the string, and finding that it was tied very securely she about decided to put 1t up again when she found that she had loosened the knot, and without any more thought she had the package opened and the box lying on her lap. Dangling from it was small key "Perhaps," thought Margaret If I open it, Mary will never find out" Forgetting completely about what her mother had said, she gave the lock one quick turn and opened the box.
 MT. Lawrence had always shown good taste in whatever he sent or brought his daughters. Just at this time his business had called him to large city in the west, and it was here that he had purchased these little gifts. Margaret's eyes opened very wide as she noticed a note lying on the top, addressed to her. What can this mean?" she thought. Surely papa didn't think it was my birthday" Opening the slip of paper, she read almost aloud. and with hurried and sobbing breath:
 Dear Margaret-You have, of course opened your sisters package. You see, your father knows how very curious you are. This terrible fault of yours cannot go unpunished, even on your sisters birthday. If you had not opened the parcel you would have re- ceived the bracelet that I have in- closed for you, while your sister would have received the necklace. But. as you have opened it, your sister will receive both"
 It was no use trying to hide any thing now. Margaret was quick enough to realize that. Her crying soon brought her mother into the room. It was a heart broken little girl who looked into her face as she sat down beside her. Her mother needed no explanation, as both she and her hus- band had thought ir 2 good way to cure her of her great fault. The days ex- per1ence was worth more to Margaret than an aFmful of bracelets, and from that time all of her child1sh curiosity vanishaS zzAR.- -lBoa4nn ,PnRt
