GlLBEltT, 5-td County Superintendent. The Little MlnUter. Charles Frohman will offer our theater- goers a great treat when he will present; the comedy "The Little Minister," I adapted by J. M. Barrie from his famous j and popular novel of that name. Un- j doubtedly this play holds the record for ' phenominal business. The engagement ' in New York extended over a period of .100 nights, and played to houses at every performance that packed the theaier to the doors. It was only taken 1 off to give the company a much needed I rest. Since the comedy was sent on the i road the business it did in New York ! hap been repeated wherever it lias been j seen. The Boston engagement was ' remarkable. It was necessary to give ' extra matinees ut the Hollis Street I theater during its run there in order to j accommodate the people desirious of i seeing the play. Great ca ehas been used in the selection of the company.

My husband's lungs are weak also, and he cured himself with the same grand old remedy. Our boy and trirl have both "been saved by it from death by croup. I know this is so, for when they were attacked in the night I had a bottle in the closet, and by acting quickly that fatal malady was easily overcome. "We always give it to the children -when they have a cough or cold, and we would not be without it for anything. My sister will tell you also, if you ak her, that it is a medicine that can always be depended upon for all the troublesof the breathing orcans.
