1t is when you have a severe

q lalitieS of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Mrs. Frank Croker,
Pana, ILL.,, writes: ''Our fiveyear
old son Paul caught a severe cold
last winter that settled on his
lungs and he had terrible cough
inelspells. We were greatly wor
ried about him as the medicine
we gave him did not help him in
the least. A neighbor spoke SO
highly of Chamberlains Cough

The first dose benefited him so
much that l continued giving il to
him until he was cured"

MELODY IN RUSSIAN ARMIES
Their Marching Songs Are Wild and
Melancholy, but the Soldiers
Are Cheerful.

Nowadays there are soldiers every
where in Petrograd-big blond boys
in long tan overcoats with flap caps
slapped rakishly over one ear. They
drill in dozens Of squares, on the cob
ble-stoned space below the dome OF
st. Isaac's, which suggests st. Peters
and Rome, and march the streets day
and night, singing their tremendous
Russian songs, writes Arthur Ruhl in
Golfers Weekly.
Three of four files start the air, at
ter a measure or two the next section
comes in and so on down the street IN
til presently the whole column Is
booming a sort Of round" The song,
wild and melancholy with tremendous
basses, goes down the street in a series
of waves, and as one descends in front
Of you another is flung to the house
top little way down the block.
They march slowly, with curious
rolling of the shoulders and swinging
of their long tan Overcoats. Their
feet go out and down with a snap
clop clOp-in q sort OF modi-
fed goose step, and to accent the
rhythm they are taught to swing the
free arm, the one not carrying the rifle,
in wide, slow arc. almost up to the
opposite shoulder and back again.
And this slow, deliberate reaching
forward and setting down each foot
one recalls Kipling's "bear that walks
like a man''-together with the long
high swing of the closed fist, repeated
by innumerable blond giants In long,
swaying overcoats, is curious and i'm
pressive. There is something more
than accident in this or the drill SER
geant's notions-something at once
tremendous and quaint, something OF
the faith, heaviness and slow, uncon-
querable power Of Russia itself.

as they would have conned and steered
her into a British harbor.
"Starboard" said Dodd, In q deep
calm voice, with motion of his hand.
"Starboard 1t u.s."
The pirate wriggled ahead a little.
The man forward made silent signal
to Dodd.
"Port!" said Dodd quietly.
sport it is"
But at this critical moment the pi-
rate stern sent a mischievous shot, and
knocked one of the men to atoms at
the helm.
Dodd waved his hand without a
word, and another man rose from the
deck and took his place in silence, and
laid his unshaking hand on the wheel
stained with the mans warm blood
whose place he took.
The high ship was now scarce 60
yards distant, she seemed to know, she
reared her lofty figurehead with great
awful shoots into the air.
But now the painting pirates got
their new foresail hoisted with joy
full shout; it drew, the schooner gath
| cred way, and their furious consort
close on the Agra's heels just then
scourged her deck with grape.
"Port!" said Dodd, calmly.
"Port 1t u.s."
The giant prov darted at the escap-
ing pirate. That acre Of coming cam
vas took the wind out of the swift
schooner's foresail, it tapped; oh, then
she was doomed! Crash The
Indiaman's cut-water in thick smoke
beat in the schooner's broadside; down
went her masts to leeward like fishing
rods whipping the water, there was a
horrible shrieking yell, wild forms
leaped off on the Agra, and were
hacked to pieces almost ere they
reached the deck-surge, a chasm In
the ear filled with an instant rush OF
engulfng waves, long, awful, graf
ing, grinding noise, never to be forgot
ten in this world, all along under the
ships keel-and the fearful majestic
monster passed on over the blank she
had made, with pale crew standing
silent and awestruck on her deck; a
cluster Of wild heads and staring eye
balls bobbing like corks in her foam
ing wake, sole relic Of the blotted-out
destroyer and wounded man stagger-
ing on the gangway, with hands up
lifted and staring eyes.

Economy and Scrap.

Some very ingenious methods are
used by some concerns in disposing Oh
scrap material. A large automobile
manufactures sells his old cushion
springs for the purpose OF making
porch cushions. His old motors are
sold for power boats, muffiers for sta
tionary farm engines, bodies for taxi
cabs and liveries, and junk dealers
take a large portion of the materials
which cannot be sold in this manner.
The brass and aluminium scrap Is
sent to the foundry to be renlelted and
used again. The iron anu steel are
sorted out and dumped into bins and
sold for old metal in carload lots.
Nickel steel trimmings and ends are
carefully separated and kept in sepa-
rate bins, because this class of ma
terial brings a much higher relative
price than other kinds of scrap.-Au'

MUST VOTE ON BRIDGE
County Commissioners Can't Put New
Span Over Soldier Creek

If a bridge is built across Soldier
creek, on the north side of the Kaw,
by the county, the people will have to
vote that way.
The county commissioners, in ses-
sion today, received bids for the con-
struction of such a bridge. Not al
of the commissioners, apparently
were in favor of building the bridge
Some of them favored repairing the
old one.
The matter was definitely settled
when a communication from Robert
Carver, county attorney, informed the
commissioners that it would not be
legal for them to contract for building
a bridge which costs more than S25,-
600. without first submitting the ques-
ton to a vote of the people. The low
est bid on the construction of the
bridge was 5000.
Consequently. the matter will be
held up for a time, and if the new
bridge is built, it will be after an
affirmative vote by the residents of
the county.

IRRIGATE FRIzELL RANCH.
Largest Dam in Western Kansas
Across Pawree in HOdgeman.

Jetmore, Kan, Jan. 16.-B. v.
Hanna has just completed the build
ing of the largest dam in western Kan
sas. across the Pawnee, on the upper
Frizell ranch, in Hodgeman county,
fourteen miles northwest of Jetmore.
1t is of cement, and the lower wall is
two feet long, and the dam is fourteen
feet high. 1t was built for irrigation
purposes and will furnish water most
ly for alfalfa land.
The rinch contains 5000 acres. and
much of it will go into alfalfa in the
near future, particularly the bottom
land. Mr.. Hanna, who runs the ranch,
plows with q tractor during the sum-
mer and works on Improvements dur

houses and two new barns have been
erected on the ranch. In the spring
