THE PITH OF POLITIOS. (BY ARTHUR J. PILLASBURY.) "How is the campaign going?" inquired a sunny-faced lever of Lincoln of the writer as he was encountered on Market street inhaling the ozone from the fine October breeze. He was informed that the bogy of imperialism had been punched full of holes, that the viper of militarism had suffered the extraction of its fangs and that if the make-believe could be as effectually punched out of the populistic pretensions in regard to hostility to the trusts Republicans would win hands down. "That is just the way with them," broke in the old political warrior of other days. "I have lived to be 83 years and 7 months old and I can distinctly remember every campaign for seventy-five years, and during all that time the Democrat never once stood up and fought fair and square on real issues out in the open, but were always appealing to men's passions and prejudices rather than to their brains. They won sometimes, but it was never on the square, never on the square, and I see they are at their old tricks still." And the thought came, as the writer walked away: "What else could the poor fellows do?" Four years ago the campaign came on with the country wallowing through the valley of despondency. The people, rightfully or wrongfully, held the administration responsible for the great panic of '98, and assuredly would not give the old party under the old management a renewed lease of power. What were the Democrats to do, stand up and fight on the square on old lines to face inevitable defeat, or turn in their political hides, like a badger in a dog fight, and come up in a new attitude of offense and defense? It was that or go out of business for four years to come, that or a surrender to the opposition party without condition. And what was the plight of this pretended Democracy this year? To stand up and fight on the issues of '98, with the old candidates and the old arguments, was to dig a mica, deep political grave and voluntarily crawl into it. The only thing that could be done that promised any hope of success was the thing that was done—trump up a collection of bugaboos and try to win with a rush there is a change to elect a Bryanite to congress, such trust is taken under the protecting wing of Eryanism, which avows that not a hair of its head is to be touched. That these modifications of platform to suit local conditions are inconsistent with each other is not held to militate against them, but, on the contrary, is regarded as a great advantage inasmuch as it secures that scientific adaptation to environment essential to survival. This shifty convenience of party principles to local conditions is held to be a faithful following of the Scriptural injunction to make friends with the mammon of unrighteousness and be all things to all men. The currency law is branded as a surrender of the money of the people to the control of the money power, but this crime is not to be hampered in any particular lest it disturb finances and shake confidence. Government by injunction is fiercely assailed, but the assurance is unhesitatingly given that the independence and power of the judiciary is not to be curtailed in the smallest particular. The Monroe doctrine is to be extended to Asia, but it is never to be so offensively thrust under the nose of any nation as to risk provocation for war, because the army is to be disbanded last gun accidents happen and somebody get hurt. The American soldier is to be gloried in—and mustered out. Nothing is to be done toward the rehabilitation of the American merchant marine, but our flag is to sail in peaceful quest of commerce on all the seas of the earth. Taxation is to be reduced and the striotest economy observed in expenditure, but the Nicaragua canal is to be built at once and a magnificent system of national reclamation of arid lands is to be entered upon and prosecuted to completion without delay. In fine, each of the sixteen millions of voters is to have whatever he wants "while you wait." If such a platform as so modified by the writers and speakers for Bryanism does not catch all the votes that are cast, except those who are stabborn and stiff-necked—then there is no virtue in sticky fly paper. It may be well to bear in mind, however, that these modifications of the Kansas City platform made by the Ryans the Henrys and the Orichtons, "A Good Name is Better Than Riches." Hood's Sarsaparilla is good name. A legion of those who owe health to its blood purifying qualities laud it for the skies. It brings the riches of heads to those who use it. In the shape absolutely pure blood, the permanent foundation stone of health. Weakness—"I was all run down weak and without appetite. A friend brought me a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. I began taking it and three both entirely cured me." Mrs. M. A. Logan 127 Post Street, Rutland, Vt. Blood Purifier—"We think Hood's Sarsaparilla has no equal as a blood purifier and invigorator of the system." J. B. Best, Woodbury, N. J. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints Hood's Pills cure liver illis; the non-irritating only cathartic to take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. And what was the plight of this pretended Democracy this year? To stand up and fight on the issues of 90, with the old candidates and the old arguments, was to dig a mole, deep political grave and voluntarily crawl into it. The only thing that could be done that promised any hope of success was the thing that was done—trump up a collection of bugaboos and try to win with a rush. No political party ever yet confessed that it had been in the wrong and politically took its medicine. It always asserted, and reasserted, its entire innocence up to the moment of drawing the black cap over its eyes and springing the trap that sent it into eternity, and even then the mourners bemoaned it as a martyr perishing on the altar of liberty or some other convenient pretext to immortality. When the "outs" assembled at Kansas City on the Fourth of July, they found that the party in power had determined their policy for them. They had only three courses left to choose from and they were all "Hobson's" choices. The Republican party had followed closely the course of events and had done, as each exigency arose, the only thing that could be done. Were the Bryanites to admit the fact, endorse McKinley and Roosevelt and adjourn? We have had but one era of good feeling in the history of this nation, and that was when the Democrats came into power only to abandon their own principles and take up and carry out in good faith the principles of the Federalists. That killed the Federalist party, which afterward had no excuse for existence. The Republican party is now, as the Examiner has affirmed, the true exponent of Jeffersonian principles, and Bryanism has no reason for existing other than its hunger for office and for the power that office brings to a party. It was hardly to be expected of Bryan that he would see this, waive his ambition to be president and counsel his followers to refrain from putting up a ticket. He saw that the Republican policy was the only policy that could be followed and so he had to conjure up pretended issues and bugaboos and win with a rush or retire with his party to innocuous desuetude. When your opponent has the right of the argument you have either to admit his contention and sit down or storm like blazes and confuse the fact with the kicking up of an irrelevant dust of combat. Every orator who has nothing to say either guys his adversary tells stories, ridicules or storms like a wild man. There was no other way for the Bryanites at Kansas City to do except what they did, raise fake issues, storm, work on the passions and prejudices of men and rave at everything in sight. They did what it is human nature to do and there In fine, each of the sixteen millions of voters is to have whatever he wants "while you wait." If such a platform as so modified by the writers and speakers for Bryanism does not catch all the votes that are cast, except those who are stubborn and stiff-necked—then there is no virtue in sticky fly paper. It may be well to bear in mind, however, that these modifications of the Kansas City platform made by the Bryans, the Henrys and the Orichtons, why are striving by supple contortions to wriggle into offices they are unworthy to fill, are likely to be repudiated by the party if it once gets that power on the ground that they are irregular and unauthorized and therefore not binding on the principals. The Republican platform adopted at Philadelphia is, as it was, unmodified in letter and spirit, and not one jot or tittle of it is to pass away until it is fulfilled. The Republican platform is not "all things to all men." It is the same thing to all men. It is so good a platform that it is hard to keep Bryanite candidates for congress from stealing rides on it. There is no trouble but what the people know that Bryanism is loaded, and that is what practically accounts for the prevailing apathy of the campaign. In the course of a generation people are apt to forget, but the shortest of memories cannot have failed to remember how things were four years ago. The voters are laying low and saying little, but their minds were made up before the nominating conventions were held. The Bryanites will hear something "drap" about the 7th of November. We won't have to wait for the official returns to find where we are "at." The telegraph bulletins will read: "McKinley and Roosevelt so many, and the rest will be reported as scattering. There need be no fear of the result if each Republican does his duty. He will. When we have a President who believes that it is neither his right nor his duty to see that the mail trains are not obstructed and that interstate commerce has its free way, irrespective of state lines, and courts that fear to use their ancient and familiar writs to restrain and punish law-breakers, free trade and free silver will be appropriate accompaniments of such an administration and cannot add appreciably to the national distress and national dishonor.—Benjamin Harrison. THE MAN WHO WORKS. It has ever been the desire of demography to delude the wage earner into rendering his suffrage in the interest of a self-seeking charlatanism and the means used has always been the same: o taffy him all over with delectable phrases calculated to show how glorious is his occupation and how dear he can enter upon and prosecuted to completion without delay. In fine, each of the sixteen millions of voters is to have whatever he wants "while you wait." If such a platform as so modified by the writers and speakers for Bryanism does not catch all the votes that are cast, except those who are stubborn and stiff-necked—then there is no virtue in sticky fly paper. The Republican party does not pose to loot other peoples to enrich own, but it does propose that our Nation and people shall have every advantage in the world of commerce that anyone on earth has for its people may require the strong arm to applish this but it will be accomplished. Republicans are given the power home. Will you give them the Reader it is for you to decide between strenuous and manful and a man pamby policy. McKinley stands first and Bryan for the second. THEY KNOW IT'S LOADED. "Now, gentlemen, I don't want that in the hard times, when they were looking pretty black, men to strange gods. It has always been since the day that Moses wrote them logue. Don't wonder when a man sick and does not know what matter with him, and he cannot out, that he should try a quack meat once; but if he tries it again I question his intelligence. If the day of this country want to go back irough so despond, out of which have so painfully emerged—if want to do that, why, under this situation, it is their inalienable life. But when they get back there, do them advance the 'I did not know was loaded' excuse."—Theodore Earl at St. Louis. HERE THEY ARE. Stripped of all pretensions this issue are reduced to these. them in your hat so as not to astray: The free coinage of silver upsetting of our present financial ability. The destruction of our industries, in order to be rid trusts. The packing of the court of the United States, in order bring its decisions into harmony; the Bryanite platform. The abolition of an independent judiciary; to that the perpetration of crime must be estopped in advance of this. This is the spirit of anarchism manifest in party policy. Republicanism is a builder. Bryan is a smasher. Republicanism is destructive. Bryanism is destitute. Republicanism is optimism. Bryan is organized pessimism. They have the whole controversy of their paign in a nutshell. Where do they belong? THOU ART THE MAN There have been recent outbreaks in Philippine islands against thority of the United States. The vicissitudes of the Bryanistic predicament have necessitated informal but decided remodelings of the Bryanistic platform adopted not longer ago than July. The platform is not held to mean any longer what it meant when it was adopted amid so much acclamation. The public are assured, for instance, that that platform does not mean anything at all in relation to the issue of 16 to 1; that the plank was put there to humor Mr. Bryan, but that it is not to be taken seriously. The reflections of that platform upon the Dingley tariff law are, we are assured, unmeaning platitudes and not to be considered as binding the forces of Bryanism to the making of any assaults upon protected industries of any of the home districts of any of the Bryanite candidates for congress. We are likewise assured that, while all industries involved in trusts are, in the event of Bryan's election, to be destroyed, no industry in any district where any Bryanite stands a ghost of a show of being elected to congress is to be interfered with in the smallest degree. If, however, any trust has had the temerity to shut down one of its plants in any community, such trust is, so far as that community is concerned, to be wiped from the face of the earth, but communities where these same industrial plants are in full operation and free silver will be appropriate panements of such an administration and cannot add appreciably to the national distress and national dishonor.—Benjamin Harrison. THE MAN WHO WORKS. It has ever been the desire of demagogy to delude the wage earner into rendering his suffrage in the interest of a self-seeking charlatanism and the means used has always been the same: to taffy him all over with delectable phrases calculated to show how glorious is his occupation and how dear he is to the heart of the patriot. The farmer has been fished for with the same bait, and with considerable success. There are between seventy-five and eighty millions of people in this country who must somehow be enabled to feed, clothe and house themselves in comfort or our country cannot be prosperous or happy or tranquil. The farmer can, if he is put to it, supply practically all of his requirements from his farm. Professional men and financiers can, if they fail, join the ranks of labor and live if the laborer as a whole can be employed, but the laborer must have labor to perform at a living wage or become a burden upon, and a menace to society. If he fails to find work at his handicraft he cannot start a bank, open a store or practice one of the professions. Now the productive power of this country is so great, that it can produce in eight months of the year as much as it can consume in the entire year. What is to be done about the other four months in the year? Is industry to cease and are workers to be turned out upon the streets for an average of one third of their normal working time? Either this must be done or markets must be found abroad for what can be produced in the four months of the year remaining after the home demand has been supplied. Across the water to the west are hundreds of millions of people who have not the necessaries of life, who are not con- Republicanism is a builder. Bryan is a sinner. Republicanism is destructive, Bryanism is destroys Republicanism is optimism. Bryan is organized pessimism. They have the whole controversy of their paign in a nutshell. Where do belong? THOU ART THE MAN S There have been recent outbreaks on Philippine islands against the morality of the United States. American soldiers have been sent death while in the performance of duty. Who is responsible in patriotism and morals for these outbreaks? Put the response where it belongs and let those deserve it bear the blame. This is not the first time that a nation similar to this has been raised was raised in 1863, when Valandale and his copperhead associates were "imperialism" and "militia" doing all in their power courage enlistments of soldiers down the rebellion and to many soldiers in he field believe that were helping to destroy free government and establish a despotism ruins of the republic. Do you think this? Then read the following from the Indianapolis Sentinel and listed in 1864. It was as much in that campaign as it is in this: "Should Mr. Lincoln be re-elected revolution will be accomplished will be no longer a Republic United States, but a consolidated pre. Every safeguard must soon later give way. The limitations executive power will not be in situation, but in the pleasure president. We implore patriotic intelligent men to pause and refrain their verdict on Tuesday no people will not save their constitution and Union it is lost." Now read something that shows Lincoln looked at copperheadsm quotation is taken from a letter Good Name is Better Than Riches." God's Sarsaparilla is a name. A legion of those who we health to its blood bringing qualities laud it to us. It brings the riches of health who use it. in the shape of purely pure blood, the permanent stone of health. Skarness—"I was all run down, and without appetite. A friend met me a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla I began taking it and three bottles cured me." Mrs. M. A. Logan, West Street, Rutland, Vt. God Purifier—"We think Hood's Sarsaparilla has no equal as a blood purifier and invigorator of the system." West, Woodbury, N. J. God's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints about the pleasures of existence that they can keep their stomachs and yet they can produce raw fruits for us to make into new and products and can consume much more make beyond supplying our own industries. To reach out for this exponent of trade in the only way that success, that is, by establishing systematic base of operations in the Philippines and maintaining an open door to all Asia, is an essential element of public policy. This policy is not unmindful of the fact that will result to the Asiatics, the best thought of Republicanism is for the welfare of the American citizen who works for wages he may live. What do the Bryan people say of policy? They say that it is an evidence of commercial greed," that the purpose exploit the down-trodden Asiatics; the policy is tyrannous, sordid and lethal? It leave politics and partisanship of your mind for the moment, close eyes and think it out. Is the policy set forth "sordid," "greedy," noble," "inhuman" or any of the Bryanites are calling it. Addressed on June 12, 1863, to Erastus Corning and others: "Long experience has shown that armies cannot be maintained unless desertion shall be punished by the severe penalty of death. The case requires aid the law and the constitution sanction this punishment. Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deserts, while I must not touch a hair of a wily agitator who induces him to desert? This is none the less injurious when effected by getting a father or brother or friend into a public meeting and there working upon his feelings till he is persuaded to write the soldier that he is fighting in a bad cause, for a wicked administration of a contemptible government, too weak to arrest and punish him if he shall desert. I think that, in such a case, to silence the agitator and save the boy is not only constitutional but, withal, a great meroy." Being thousands of miles from home, with an ocean of water between, the soldiers serving in the Philippines cannot desert, but it is definitely known that strenuous efforts were made to prevent their re-enlisting when their terms had expired, and encouraging the Filipinos to resist is no more treacherous than to encourage American citizens not to aid in putting down that insurrection. Who is doing this? Theodore Sandico is one of the agents for the Filipino Junta at Hongkong. Among recently captured Filipino correspondence, which has been forwarded by mail to Washington, there is a letter from this agent to Lieutenant-Colonel Tinio, in which occurs the following expression of opinion: "The present campaign has created in America a political situation that may produce the downfall of McKinley, which will signify the triumph of our ideals. * * * I believe that it is necessary that we continue our struggles and only accept peace on a basis of independence, although under an American protectorate. If the re-election of McKinley be accomplished * * * I will be the first to accept the peace that I believe will be necessary * * * since I now consider our forces are impotent to defend our rights." General Lew Wallace has all along opposed the Philippine expansion policy. It will be of interest to read what he says of responsibility for the continuation of Filipino hostilities and the killing of American soldiers: "Finally, I am opposed to Bryan, as I hold him directly responsible for the death of every one of the brave Americans." Miss Maud Kenyon, Of 1533 Orange Street, Los Angeles, Cal., writes: "I had been afflicted with my eyes for over a year with such a dreadful itching and inflammation that I could not use them for anything. Physicians had given me many different remedies which were like using so much water; they measured my eyes for glasses, which I got and wore for some time, but they did not benefit me in the least. My mother desired me to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce and explain the condition of my eyes. I did so, and after following your advice, and using eight bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription' and eight of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' can say my trouble is entirely cured. I would advise any one so afflicted to try these wonderful medicines. My health was never so good as it is now, and I shall never tire of praising Dr. Pierce's medicines."

The Democratic party were to be policies and principles of the Party would Democrats still be their allegiance to the old organization. Partisanship, then, merely of name so that the power that the name captures the party is being gallied to think so. It has fessed by the San Francisco office that the Republican party for four years the truer expression Jeffersonian principles, and agree that this is so. The Exam also confessed that the Republic is now the truly conservative party man who will look into what find that this is so. We should a Democrat yield his to a political party that contains with which he is in sympathy the name "Democratic." Brush not Democracy. It is populism, Altgeldism. It is an abhorrent unhealthful phenomenon whose existence is accountable only to ground of the personal magnificence and over-mastering it, who has usurped the I name and laid violent hold on Democrat organization. Democrats are unwise if they themselves to be deceived there. "I have used Chamberlain Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedies to be a great medicine," said S. Phipps, of Poteau, Ark., me of bloody flux. I cannot win the good opinion, if not those who use it. The question which it effects even in the cases make it a favorite for sale by P. A. Derge. TURNED THE Joke TO ACCOMPLISH Some friends once invited Tiny Waterman to their shanty at Kings Lake, near St. Louis first afternoon they stationed a ducking tank, or sink box, well knew ducks had never been. He took the joke good nature that night at dinner he pulled out of his pocket and tossed table with the remark that he had put all of his shell naturally one of the shell open with his pants disclosing the contents. The astounded at the number of as he called them, and as many were in a shell. Of one could enlighten him, if "If you fellows who are hurt don't know, it seems to me good betting proposition." "Good scheme," exclaimed hosts. "Let's make it a dollar to who guesses nearest to me." General Lew Wallace has all along opposed the Philippine expansion policy. It will be of interest to read what he says of responsibility for the continuation of Filipino hostilities and the killing of American soldiers: "Finally, I am opposed to Bryan, as I hold him directly responsible for the death of every one of the brave American soldiers slain in the Philippines. It is the encouragement held out to the rebels by Bryan and others of his ideas that keeps up the struggle there. The war was over, but the sympathy and promises held out by Bryan have caused the fighting to break out afresh, and it will from this time on until concluded, be fraught with more disaster to our boys, for they have slowly and surely been teaching their adversaries how to fight. For each man who falls there, he be inspired by a sense of duty or love of war, Bryan is responsible. The thought of electing such a man as this to the presidency is utterly repugnant." Now, reader, without passion, without prejudice, in a heart to heart talk between your political self and your better self as an American and a patriot, who conjured up this sham plea of imperialism that he might make a campaign for the presidency on it? Bryan. Who is the Valandingham of the campaign of 1900? Bryan. Who has talked of McKinley "enslaving" the Filipinos? Bryan. Who has talked of our country having bought Filipinos or tried to buy them at $2.50 per head? Bryan. Who has declared a thousand times that our war to restore order there and establish government was an unholy war of subjugation? Bryan. Who has declared that, if elected president, he will convene congress in extra session to give the Filipinos their independence and yet be responsible to the world for their conduct? Bryan. Who then is responsible for the renewed outbreak of the Filipino insurrection and the sufferings, wounding and killing of American soldiers who are bravely striving to establish liberty and order regulated by law? Bryan. Bryan, thou art man! Weak attempts may be made in seeking to justify the fact, but the fact itself is not to be disputed. THE BALANCE OF POWER Died-in-the-wool Republicans will vote the Republican ticket, and died-in-the wool Democrats will vote the Bryan ticket in the mistaken notion that it is Democratic. That will be a stand-off. Mr. Bryan is making his appeals almost wholly to the discounted, envious, unreasoning and emotional. The Republican writers and speakers are appealing to reason, experience, patriotism and munty courage. Bryanism is pessimism. McKinleyism is optimism. FARM PRICES. Mr. Bryan is truly cunning. He finds out what is being produced in the next town where he is to speak and, with a statistical abstract in his hand, puts in the time between stations getting onto the proper thing to say to fit local conditions at the next stumping stand. He struck a barley growing district up in Minnesota the other day and by referring to his statistical abstract, he found that barley had been off on price for two or three years and so he used that illustration to prove that farmers were getting less for their produce and paying more for what they consumed than before the wave of prosperity struck the county. That was cute, but it was not candid. An analysis of the average prices of ten articles of farm consumption such as rice, iron, petroleum, tin, coffee, leather, sugar, tea, cotton cloth, rope, taken at the same place and dates as above and compared, show an average increase in the prices of these things which farmers have to buy of 19 per cent exactly. The lowest rate of increase in farm products was that of hay which only increased 11 per cent, and the highest was that of lard which had increased in price 68 per cent, bringing hogs up to a fine figure. In the things which the farmer buys tea and coffee were lower than four years ago, and the highest was hemp, or sisal, out of which rope is made which had increased in price 66 per cent, which makes it necessary for the farmer to give his calf less rope rather than more, but that is his worst injury. This is a good showing for the farmer, but Bryan did not make it. It is not in his line. Try Allen's Foot-Ease. A powder to be shaker, into the shoes.

Died-in-the-wool Republicans will vote the Republican ticket, and died-in-the wool Democrats will vote the Bryan ticket in the mistaken notion that it is Democratic. That will be a stand-off. Mr. Bryan is making his appeals almost wholly to the discontented, envious, unreasoning and emotional. The Republican writers and speakers are appealing to reason, experience, patriotism and manly courage. Bryanism is pessimism. McKinleyism is optimism. The balance of power between the died-in-the-wool elements in both parties is held by these antagonistic attributes of human character, and the result will determine which is the stronger in the hearts of the American people. The test is to be a crucial one and the world is watching it with the utmost interest. The issue can hardly be regarded as doubtful. The nation is not in the dumps.

If the Democratic party were to adopt the policies and principles of the Republican party would Democrats still maintain the allegiance to the old organization? Is partisanism, then, merely a matter of name so that the power that captures the name captures the party? It would be galling to think so. It has been confessed by the San Francisco Examiner that the Republican party has been for four years the truer exponent of Jeffersonian principles, and anyone can cease that this is so. The Examiner has also confessed that the Republican party is now the truly conservative party, and any man who will look into the facts will find that this is so. Why, then, should a Democrat yield his allegiance to a political party that contains nothing with which he is in sympathy except the name "Democratic." Bryanism is not Democracy. It is populism, pessimism, Altgeldism. It is an abnormal and unhealthful phenomenon whose existence is accountable only on the ground of the personal magnetism of an imperious and over-mastering personality, who has usurped the Democratic name and laid violent hold upon the Democratic organization. Intelligent Democrats are unwise if they permit themselves to be deceived thereby. "I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedy and find it to be a great medicine," says Mr. E. S. Phipps, of Poteau, Ark. "It cured me of bloody flux. I cannot speak too highly of it." This remedy always wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those who use it. The quick cures which it effects even in the most severe cases make it a favorite everywhere. For sale by P. A. Derge. Turned the Joke to Account. Some friends once invited the late Tiny Waterman to their shooting club at Kings Lake, near St. Louis, and the first afternoon they stationed Tiny in a ducking tank, or sink box, where they well knew ducks had never seen. He took the joke good naturedly, and that night at dinner he pulled a shell out of his pocket and tossed it on the table with the remark that he "thought he had put all of his shells away." Most naturally one of the diners cut the shell open with his pocketknife, disclosing the contents. Tiny seemed astounded at the number of "bullets," as he called them, and asked how many were in a shell. Of course no one could enlighten him, so he said, "If you fellows who are hunters really don't know, it seems to me that it is a good betting proposition." "Good scheme," exclaimed one of his hosts. "Let's make it a dollar each as to who guesses nearest to the actual A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little Son's Life. Mr. H. H. Black, the well-known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co., N. Y., says: "Our little son, five years old, has always been subject to croup, and so bad have the attacks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and used many medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is now our sole reliance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucus and by giving frequent doses when the croupy symptoms appear we have found that the dreaded croup is cured before it gets settled." There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to a babe as to an adult." For sale by P. A. Derge, Druggist. Mining.

'Let's make it a dollar each as to who guesses nearest to the actual number in the shell.'" "As there is only one bet in this proposition," Tiny suggested, "let's make it $5 a corner," which was agreed to. Each one wrote on the tablecloth his guess as to the number contained in the shell, and when the pellets were counted it was found that Tiny had guessed the exact number. He accordingly gathered in the $30, and when he had it safely bestowed he casually inquired, "What do you fellow think I was doing in that blamed tank all afternoon?"
