A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Vlfiat Little Mlts Sunshine Dreamed
In Church.
The sermon had been deplorably
long, there could be no disputing
this, and little girls arc not supposed
to understand what is being said
•nyway. Even grownups fidgeted
in their pews, and the funny little
man with the white side whiskers
was seen to yawn behind his hand.
Little Miss- Sunshine, in her
crushing Sunday hat and her long
cloak, had finally given up. The heat
and the nrusic and the never ending
sermon were too much for her. En
tirely unknown to uny one, she had
leaned against her mother’s arm
aud fallen oil to sleep.
“Ora, wake up! Aren’t 'you
ashamed?” said her mother, who
discovered the child, and little Sun
shine was rudely disturbed from
slumber.
She straightened up, blinked her
eyes two or three times and whis
pered so .that all the people in the
* pews around could hoar her. “It'
was a ’ligious dream, mamma,” she
sobbed in the defensive; “I thought
a crowd of angels came to our house
from the sewing society and you
lent Nan down to say that you were
out.”—New York Herald.

Visitor—So you were ship
wrecked and came near starving?
Mariner—Yes mum, and 1 had
to eat a whiskbroom and the saw
dust. out. of a cushion.
Visitor—It must have been a
terrible dose.
Mariner—Not. so bad, inuni,

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Buttle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy.
“ When I had an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one) I actually cured
m)H>»lf with one bottle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy," says Frank W. Perry,
E dtor of the Enterprise, Shortsvllle, N.
Y. "This is the honest truth. I at times
kept from coughing mj self to pieces by
taking a teaspoouful of this remedy, and
when the cougbii.g spell would come on
at night 1 would take a dose and it seem-
led that in the briefest interval the cough
would pass oH and 1 would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its accom.
panylug pains. To say that the ninety
acted us u most agreeable surprise is put
ting It very mildly. 1 had no Idea that
It would or could knock out the grip,
simply because 1 had never tiled it for
such a purpose, but it did, aud it seemed
h ith the second attack of 'couguiiig the
icmedy caused it to not only be of less
duration, but the pains were far Its* se
vere. and 1 bad not used the contents of
one bottle before Mr. Grip had bill me
