Death cunc to the household of
Mr. a id Mrs. James Henson of this
city last Tu?s'hv morning Feb. 13.
in a cruel and heart rending
manner. Their little daughter
Mnbel Catherine, suddsnly passed
away attera few hours illness, at 110
liiiio considered datigerous. Sun
duy Mr. and Mrs. Benson had
Mabel at church and she was in her
usual good health, wreathed in
happy childish smiles lor all who
noticed her. Mo.iday she socuied to
take a seveie cold.. Dr. Wall was
called and while he realized that
she was a sufi'.Ter from cold he had
no idea of a fatal termination. Tues
day morning she became restless
and shortly after 7 o'clock while
lying in her fathers arms she seemed
to go into convulsions. The black
angel of death havered near for a
moment and the great door of
eternity swung out and the little
flower faded into the life everlast
ing. Mabel Catherine Henson was
born July 29 1899, and lived to
gladden the hearts of a fond mother
nnd father, just 6 months and 15
days. She is the second baby girl
Mr. and Mrs. Henson have watched
lowered into the grave dining the
last year, and the heart felt sym-
pithy of the "people of Cottage
Grove and vicinity go out to them.

Thoro is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Its pleacant tasto and prompt
and eileotiial cures make it a favorite
with mothers and email children. It
mtickly cures their couphs nnd colds,
preventinp: pneumonia or other serious
consequences. It nlso cures croup and
has been used in tens of thousands of
cases without a slnido failure so far as
wo. have been able to learn. It not
only cures croup, but when rIvhii ns
soon as tho erottpy cough nppoars. will
pruvent the attack. In casos of whoop
lug cough it liquefies tho tough mucus,
making it casior to expectorate, and
lessons tho severity and frequency of tho
paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving
that disease of nil dangerous conee-
qnences, Forealo by Bknsok Dauo Co.,
