It nray be a question whether theed itor of a newspaper, has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffer ing we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have al ways found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in deep ening iinplicity on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suf fering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physi cian not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by E. Bradford. laws. W. R.

Steele, secretary of the Texas Standard Bale Compress‘Associ ation, in a letter written to the West Times, June 30, says: “Let me say a plain word to the plain people: For the same reason that yon pay more for a good coat than you would for a ragged and sleezy one, so will the English and German spinner pay you more for a neat, dense, well covered bale than he will for what is left of an unsightly hag, which has lost half its valne by wet, waste, pilfery and dirt.” For exactly this reason spinners pay more for ronndlap than for square bales of any size whatever. It is precisely because ronndlap bales are “neat, dense, well covered,” protected against fire, moisture, waste, theft and damage, that they are worth more to spinners than an “unsightly” square “bag which has lost half its value by wet, waste, pilfery and dirt.” It is precisely for this reason, also, and because of the savings made in the wrapping, hand ling and shipment of ronndlap bales that buyers are able to and do pay for them a premium above the valne of square bales sufficient to pay the baling charge and leave the owner a substan tial profit besides. The width of a broad grin is eqnal to the length of a smile. Better have a good medicine and not need it than to need it and not have it. See? Then just before you get hurt, buy a bottle of Dr. Tichenor’s Anti septic. It is a record'breaker for wounds, burns, bruises, scalds, etc., for man and beast. Fifty cents a bot- lle at all druggists.

The Mountain Denier Objected to n Fall For Religion** Reason*. “That reminds me indirectly,” said the other drummer, “of a yarn I heard lately over iu South Carolina told at the expense of ( a peculiarly guileless old chap who. keeps a little crossroads store up in the mountains. Everybody wears boots in that part of the country, and, as the story goes, the old fellow had been buying -his stock for many years of a manufacturer in a big city not 1,000 miles away. He paid $6 a pair for his boots wben he first went into business, and the maker had con tinued charging him the same figure year after year regardless of the fact that the market pride had been steadily going down. The old storekeeper, se cluded from the world in his mountain home, never dreamed that lie was be ing fleeced and took pride in paying his bills with clocklike punctuality. ‘At last, when that grade of boots was quoted at $2.50, the manufactur er’s conscience smote him, and be de cided to make amends. So he wrote the country merchant, saying that. there had been a considerable decrease in the price of leather, and he was glad to state that he would be able to let him have the last lot of boots he order ed at $4 a pair. This, he added r was a special low rate, made on account of personal esteem and the fact that he had been a regular customer for such a long period. A few days afterward the conscientious manufacturer was amaz ed to receive a letter runuiug some thing like this: DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP? A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous resnlts of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go to a warmer and more regular cli mate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in either case take the only remedy that has been introduced in all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, Boschee’s German Syrup.” It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, bnt allays in flammation, causes easy expectoration, gives a good night’s rest, and cures tho patient. Try one bottle. Recommended many years by all druggists iu the world. Sample bottles at Knight Dru Co’s. ‘Dear Sir—It’s mighty kind of you all to offer to me luive them boots at $4, but I wish you would please keep the price the same as what it was before. 1 have been selling them boots for $10 pair for 12 years, and, being a deacon in the church, 1 don’t think it would be right to take no stronger profit. So no more at present from, yours truly, Peter Doe.” —New* Orleans Times-Democrat. G. A. R. Chicago. The 3-lth Annual Encampment, at Chicago, August 27th to 31st, promises to be the greatest G. A.

To one unaccustomed to tropical con ditions the furnishing of the Porto Rican home would at first sight seem meager, but it is quite ample. A short residence will demonstrate that nearly 500 years of experience with the un pleasant features of life in the West Indies have been crowned by -a sur vival of the fittest in house furnishing as in other matters. Austrian bent wood furniture and also wickerwork and willow ware consti tute the main equipment of the par lors and living rooms. Upholstered fur niture is unknown and undesired, little or no attempt being made at decoration except in the matter of embroidery and fine handmade lace work. Hundreds of yards of crochet work are used iu the embellishment of a single canopied bed. This work is the chief delight of the Porto Rican housewife. The walls are for the most part bare, but here and there a painting of merit may be seen. The sofa pillow is tho one great featnre of the home. It Is ev erywhere, in every conceivable size, shape and material. Ferns of gigantic size and exquisite formation, as well as broad spreading palm leaves, are used to festoon the walls and arched doorways. Cut fresh from day to day, they render the dark, cool rooms invit ing and attractive. Potted tropical plants in great variety abound within and without the house.—Harper’s Ba zar. Admiralty Weak on Geosrapby. During the Boer war of 1SS0 the ad miralty was hopelessly ignorant of the geography of South Africa. The admiral in charge of the fleet at Cape Town received strict orders that he was not on any account to bombard the town of Potchefstroom. Now, -as Potcbefstroom is a good many hun dred miles from the seacoast and lies on the Mooi river, which Is barely 200 yards across and dry for three parts of the year, this order was superflu ous. During tile same period the fleet was at Port Elizabeth, and the admiral headed dispatches to the admiralty from that seaport. By the next mail he again sent dispatches, but happened to bead them Algoa bay. The admiralty cabled out asking him what business he had to change the location of the fleet without instruc tions. sublimely ignorant of the fact that Port Elizabeth and Algoa bay are one and the same place. By the way. the names Algoa bay and Delngon bay are derived from the outward and homeward voyages of the old East. Indiamen who. on their voy ages to Goa. In India, were wont to call at Port Elizabeth on the outward voynge and at Lourenco Marques on the homeward voyage. Hence the names Algoa (to Goa) and Delagoa (from Goa).—Stray Stories. The Sultan’, Bnrbaron, Capital. European ladies constantly run away witli the idea that Constantinople Is a civilized town and act accordingly. Then they are’ astonished when some thing disagreeable happens, and con tinually one hears of ladies being bus tled. pinched or kissed by Turkish sol diers. It must be remembered that the soldiers are recruited from the wildest tribes In Asia Minor, where woman Is" considered an inferior creature, who must give way to man, besides being trained to avoid him on all possible oc casions. One can easily imagine that such a soldier Is astonished to see a European lady unveiled, boldly expecting him to give way to her or at any rate not avoiding him. and he naturally takes It to be an advance on her part. Ladies have often told me they have been pushed by soldiers into' the gutter, and. I have nearly always found that it is simply as I have explained, that nei ther makes way for the other, with the result that the lady, being the weaker, comes to grief.—London Telegraph. A Fisherman*, Trick. “One day I was talking fish with a number of friends,” said an old fisher man, “and I made a bet that I could catch more perch than any other man In the party In a given time. The crowd picked out the most experienced fisherman in the lot, and we set a day to try our lock. The day before the match I got a large glass jar, filled it with water and put some minnows In It.- Over the mouth of the jar I -put a piece of parchment in which I had made some small holes. Then I went to a point just east of the waterworks, picked out a likely spot and sank the jar In the river, first attaching a cork float to It by which 1 could locate It next day. “We went out for the fishing match the following afternoon, and 1 soon found my float and anchored there. The other man located a short distance away, and we began. The perch were just beginning to run, and in a little while I had pulled in 180 perch, tvhlle my opponent got only 24. Then he gave np, and 1 won my bet. “I showed the boys the trick before we left the fishing ground. Yon can always In that way make a good catch of fish that will swallow minnows. The sight of the bait in the jar always at tracts a crowd of fish and seem3 to put them in good biting humor.”—Detroit Free Press. Plausible, bat Failed. The cunning of children Is well rec ognized *o be of a very superior kind, and it is seldom if given a chance that they cannot Inveigle their elders into seeing things their way. The follow ing is an instance of where a little girl slipped up on this by not taking into consideration that her mother had had enough experience with children to have an Insight into their nature. The girl’s birthday was a couple of weeks off, and her parents had told her that they were going to give her a handsome present upon- that occasion. She had been counting “the minutes” for several days, but thinking she could not possibly await her birthday without, knowing what her present would be. she stole softly up to her mother and begged her to show her the present “Why, it wouldn’t be right to show it to. you now,”' her mother answered, “because we want to surprise you on your birthday.” “Ob. that’s all right!” exclaimed the little one. “I’ll forget what It Is before then.”—Memphis Scimitar.

THE PALACE WAITED- A Builder’s Suggestion Tliat Chang ed the Plans ot a Pope, At a time when there was great suf fering among the people from lack of food and when famine in its worst form was threatened Pope Alexander VI had made arrangements for the erection of a uiaguiiiceut palace. The best architects had been employed, and the plans had beeu submitted and ac cepted, and an accomplished builder had beeu sent for to come from Venice, a man whose work had wou for him re- no wu and who was known to be a just and upright niau. The builder had arrived, and at an appointed time he waited upon his ho liness to receive the plans and make his estimates. "There is one thing yet to be done.” said the pope. “There has been no 1 %.ht inscription or legend thought of to be placed over the main entrance of the palace. It should be put above the great gate. You have had experience. Do j’ou think of an inscription that would be appropriate?” If your holiness would pardon me for the liberty, 1 might suggest one most appropriate at this time.” You are pardoned in advance,” said the pope, smiling. “Now, what shall it be?” “Sovereign pontiff, let it be thus: Command that these stones be made bread!* ” The pope was visibly and deeply af fected. He paid the builder munificent ly for his expenses of coming and go ing, and instead of building his palace he fed the hungry ones of his childreu. —Weekly Bouquet.
