<la J s u b r 'h "bile at work in W . II.
Barron’s new house. Tom seemed
think he had a regular engage-
ment with our abbreviated Jit.tie
sheriff' for a round dance. Tim
williz began in tho ball and was
kept up in a sort of confused style
until the partners to the dance
passed out of the hall and across
the broad piazza. On reaching
the railing Tom decided he had
about enough of the waltz and he
proceeded to pick up his partner
and toss him over the railing,
heels ever head out into the yard,
and then he ran off in a trot like
a young colt. Our dear little sher¬
iff wasn’t hurt at nil by the tall
but seemed very much surprised
at Turn’s new style of teaching j
him to waltz on his head. He
bruslied’t he dirt off his clothes,
got on his horse and went home,
promising himself never to engage
in another free for all dance ex-
cept right out on the ground. He
doesn’t like round dancing aVy
longer at any elevation from the
ground. Moral: Why elect a she;-
who weighs only two or three
hundred pounds? To hold Tom
White we need one who weighs a
thmis-md uunisauu.

A lady vvliosemme it is not

The weal her man seems at last
to realize that wood and coni piles

Tendency of the Time#.
The tendency of medical* sci¬
ence is toward preventive thought of meas¬ the
ures. The best
world is being given to the sub¬
ject. It is easier anil better to
prevent than to cure, ll has been
fully demonstrated that pneumo¬
nia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented
by tho use of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al¬
ways results from a cold or from
an attack of influenza (grip), and
it has been observed that this
p(ly counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
bis has been fmiy pi oven in
m»»y thousands of casus in which
this remedy has been used during
tlie of colds and
grip in recent years, and can lie
relied upon with implicit confi¬
dence. Pneumonia often results
fry)n a slight cold when no danger
