W. A. McGuire, a well known citizen
of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that
there is nothing as good as children
troubled with colds or croup as
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He has
used it in his family for several years
with the best results and always kept a
bottle of it in the house. Alter having
la grippe be was himself troubled with
a severe cough. He used other remedies
without benefit and then concluded to
try the children's medicine and to his
delight it soon effected a permanent cure,

For a pain in the side or chest there is
nothing so good as a piece of flannel
dampened with Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and bound on over the seat of pain
It affords prompt and permanent relief

same treatment is a sure cure for lame

SAWED A SALOON IN TWO.
Straddling a State Use, It Hade a Lot of
Trouble.
Bill. Lewis, one of the first to settle
in Kansas City, and one of the wicked
est men that ever lived there, died a
few days ago, says a western exchange.
Since 18b6 he has been known as the
king of Toad-a-Loup, a district which
harbored about all the known criminals
in town. The saloon he kept in Toad-.
a-Loup was hardly less notorious than
himself. It was built exactly on the
state line between Kansas and Mis
souri and was furnished with a mova
ble bar. y Lewis paid no license, and
when the Missouri tax collector called
upon him he moved his bar over in
Kansas. When the authorities of the
latter state attempted'to arrest him he
transferred his business in a minute to
Missouri. He was arrested many times,
but had to be released. Concerted ac
tion on the part of the authorities of
both states finally ended the career of
Lewis' barroom in Toad-a-Eup. The
direction of the state line was chalked
off on the saloon and the structure was
sawed in two from roof w cellar with
an immense cross-cut saw. -
HE KNEW A TENDERFOOT.
A Jerseyman's Exciting Experience with
. a Pennsylvania Mine Mole.
Patrick Murray, of Perth Amboy, N.
J., had 'an exciting experience a few
days ago with a mine mule at Summit
Hill, Pa., which he will never forget,
says the New York' Post. When he
reached the bottom of the slope and
proceeded, to explore the gangway he
attracted the attention of one of the
mules. He is at a loss to know what
angered the animal, but the beast
came for him at full speed, and Murray
started for a "headinsr" with no thine-
but the light of a miner's lamp to guide
him.
It was a race for life. The mule
was rapidly closing the gap, when the
Jerseyman reached two mine cars. He
plunged between them. The ' mule
countermarched and began using his
hind feet with terrible effect. He
kicked the stout oak planks of the
car into kindling wood, and while he
was occupied in this manner Murray
made his escape and returned to the
surface. He is fully satisfied that the
mine mule is not to be trifled with, es
pecially if you are a tenderfoot with a
red necktie.
Something She Could Faint.
Mme. d'Albertin, one of the lesser
painters of France, was as conceited
about her artistic ability as she was no
torious for her excessive use of cos
metics. On one occasion, a certain
count, who held her in much disesteetn,
lost a bet to her. "And what will
madame choose?" he asked, with mock
courtesy. "Something in my art," she
simpered; ''something I can paint."
"Very well, madame," he replied, bow
ing himself out. A day later madame
received a package from the count,
which, upon being' opened, revealed a
life-size drawing of her own face in out
line. Electric Sunstroke.
It is now claimed that there is such a
thing as electric sunstroke. The work
ers around electrical furnaces in which
metal aluminum is produced suffer
from them. The intense light causes
painful congestions, which cannot be
wholly prevented by wearing deep-colored
glasses. ..

Catarrh Hall's Catarrh Cure is the

is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the

An old citizen of Austin, Tex., was
awakened by the ringing of the fire bells.
He dressed himself and went out into
the eireet. "Where is the fire?" he
asked of a fireman who was hurrying
past. "Down on Austin avenue, near
the corner of Twenty-fifth street."
"Let me think who lives there," mused
the old man. "Why, there is nobody in
that neighborhood " whose house is in
sured. That fire is not going to amount
to anything," so he went back into bis
honse, and in five minutes he was snor
ing as loud as ever. The fire, as he sup
posed, was only a chimney on fire.
Tammany times.
"I see," said Mr. Wickwire, "that the
newspaper liar is at it again. This time
he has a story of a hen adopting a lot of
kittens." "That story may be true,"
said Mrs. Wickwire. "The hen may
have been deceived by the similarity in
the sound of the wordd. Kitten and
chicken sound a good deal alike." In
