he took up a pad and began

“There! said he, finally, “I

“Figure what out?"
“This," Trigg answered,

There is a diminutive fox ter
rier with snappy brown eyes, a
short tail and a pair of nicely
trimmed ears at the home of Miss
Annie Stein, seventeen vears old,
that is the object of much consid
eration, sayB the New York Her
aid.
Miss Stein has one arm bound
up in a sling, but with the other
she pets the terrier. For the lit

There is a bull on the Stein
farm—big, cross and always look
ing for trouble. Seeing Miss
Stein walking through a field.
wearing a red coat, the bull came
charging down upon her. -He
caught the girl on his horns and
tossed her high in the air.
i lie terrier was trotl ing quietly
along with his' mistress when the
bull charged. He leaped at the
bull and his teeth closed tight
over the animal’s right ear. Ev
erv ounce of terrior strength and
persistency was in that grip, and
the bull became so disconcerted
that he forgot the prostrate girl
and tried to break the dog’s hold.
Meanwhile Miss Stein managed
to scale a fence* When she xx r as

fence after her.
The sea took less toll of hu
man lives last year, it seems
than for a similar period during
twenty years. The figures of
the British Chamber of Com
merce show that during 1903
the total number of lives lost at
sea was 624 , of whom 599 were
sailors and 25 passengers. This
isindeed. remarkable, when it is
reflected that the transient

Literally of millions during the run

passengers were lost is a tribute
to the better construction of
ships and efficient inspection to
which ocean passenger vessels
are subjected.

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE’S.
Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies
To The Good Qualities of
Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy.
Ashburnham, Out., April 18,
1903.—I think it is only right to
tell you what wonderful effect
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter
I was so distressed xvith a cold and
cough that I did not think to be
able to take any duties the next
day, as my voice was almost chok
ed by^the cough. The same day I
received an order from you for a
bottle of your Couge Remedy, 1
at once procured a sample bottle,
and took about three doses of the
medicine, To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely
disappeared and I was able to
preach three times on Easter Day.
1 knew that this rapid and effec
tive cure was due to your Cough
Remedy. I make this testimo
n ial without solicitation, being
thankful to have found such a
Godsent remedy.
Respectfnlly Langfeldt, yours, M. A.,

Yes, Cairo is dry while our
