No Tears Nor Hill.
In tho days when Howley II1I1 was
bishop of the Isle of Man ono of his
clergymen beurlug tho name of Tears
came 1 to any adieu to his bishop on
gettluit preferment The parson said:
"Goodby, my lord. I hope we may
I meet aenln, but If not hero In some
better place.".
The bishop replled,,"I fear the latter
Is unlikely, as there are no Tears In
heaven."
"No doubt," wittily answered the par
ton, "you are right that our chance of
meeting is small, as one reads of the
plulus of pnradlsc, but never of any
Hills there." London Queen.

Although the bushinen of Australia
arc the very lowost In Jhe scnl6 of Ig

that equals that of many aulmals and
Is In Us way as wonderful as man's
reason. 1 It Is almost Impossible for
them to be lost. ' Even If they lie led

they never make a mistake.

Over Thirty-Five Years.
In 1872 there was a great deal of
diarrhoea, dysentary and cholera in
fantum. It was at this time that
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought
into use. It proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment,
and has for thirty-five years main
tained that record. From a small be
ginning its sale and use has extended
to every part of the United States and
to many foreign countries. Nine
druggists out of ten will recommend
it when their opinion is asked, "al
though they have other medicines
that pay them a greater profit. .It
can always be depended upon, even in
the most severe and dangerous cases.
