Forgot What RE Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when "A
young gentleman came to this office
and asked for copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized il
carefully when copy was handed
him, and then said Now know"
Nv hat is it you are looking for" we
inquired My wife sent me after Il
bottle of Chamderlain's Cough
Remedy, and forgot the name. |
went to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the line on
the shelf except Chamberlain's IN
try again, and I'll never go home with
out Chamberlain's Cough Remedy"
The Republican would suggest to the
pr0prietOrs of stores, that they post
their clerks, and never let them sub
stitute. Customers lose faith in stores
where substituting is permitted, to
say nothing of the injustice to makers
of good goods and the disappointment
of customers.

"Ungrateful-Unworthy!"
1t was hopeless plant that Arthur
Wayne uttered. Around him was lux
ury, nothing betokaned business or
money troubles, yet to him his enyir-
onment was desolate, the ties of home
and family the source of bitter dis
appointment.
TO him love seemed a mockery, hap
piness ii delusIon, loyalty, upselfish in-
terest mere meaningless words. He
sat staring into vacancy, wretched,
unhappy being. 1t was in no yindic-
tive mood that he summoned up, a
memory Of the past, but mOurnfully
and clearly he balanced up the results
