Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welchton, Florida, says he cured a case of diurrhoea of long standing in sis hours, with one small bottle of Cham berlain’s Colio, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy.

He has used it in his family for several years with the best results and always keeps a bot tle of it in the house. After having la grippe be was himself troubled with a severe cough.

First In Is the winner- n I ways, sure enough. That the bust man in pluak or brains doesn't ahvivs got first plaoe in the competitions of the world is a generally accepts 1 fact, while the merits per se of wind or musole in reaching the front rank cannot be disputed. One little boy forgot this distinc tion the other day and remained blissfully happy in oonsequence. It was at a traveling circus, one of those one-night stands where they fill out the show by an aot or two made up of local effort, running, bowling or spar ring for some prise by members of the audience, and whe re, before the seats have time to be cleared after the performance, they begiu to haul the poles from under the teals. A race for small boys for a 36-eent prise wee to be run, and a chubby, well-groomed lad of 6 pleaded with his father and mother to allow him to run. The other boys were bigger and shabbier boys, and the father only consented after long pleading and hesitation. Ha ran like a little man and “Two to one on the little chap!’’ shouted from all sides spurred him on to excited effort. He threw his little curly head up and stuffed his chubby fists into his trouser’s pockets, just to show that he felt 'twas all as easy as fun, and if he won the 38 oents it wouldn’t be after any tremendous exertion. But a fe w years and short legs, as was natural, fell behind, and when a raw-boned lad of about 8 gripped the post and claimed the quarter the little chap was three rounds behind. He wasn’t thrown down about it. His head kept up and his eyes gleam ed and he ate pped back to his seat, his fis ta still thrust independently in his pockets and with an air of actual conquest. “I told you I could run.” he said. “You see I did ran the best' Every body says I did, only—the first boy won.” WEALTH GOINO TO .WOMEN. Becoming Mors Numerous as Stock holders In Eastsrn Factorial. In a large number of manufaotur infr concerns in Massachusetts, the affairs of which are covered by the latest report of the state bureau of labor statistics, there were 43,803 partners or stockholders in 1393, against 48,735 in 1398. The number of males iuoluded in the total for the latter year was greater, however, than that whloh was oovered by tbe larger figures for 1893. There were 87,385 male partners or stockholders in 1898, and 87,311 in 1893. On the other hand, the number of women who had an interest in the manufac tories dealt with by the report was 15,593 in 1983 against 15,410 in the year preceding. The partners or stockholders were 63.91 per oent males in 1893 and 87.56 per cent fe males. In 1893 the proportions were 88.38 per cent of fern ales and 68.18 per cent of males. The change thus shown to have taken place in one year is a curious hln t of thp tendency of the times to plaoe more and more of tbe property of th e world, and es pecially of the United States, in the possession of women. It looks as if the weaker sex, whioh must hold its goods and chattels in a sense by vir tue of the forbearance of the stronger, were destined to become the moneyed part of the human family. THEY WERE SHOPPINO. And What They Saw Mortified On* of Them Badly. She was a haughty dame, and, be ing on a shopping expedition with a friend, happened to cateh a glimpse of an acquaintance she did not wish to recognize. “Let us go this way past the silk counter. I just saw some one X don’t care to meet” "Who is she?” asked her friend, who did not see any one near them. “Oh, some horrid woman with a smirk on her face. Of course, 1 have only a bowing acquaintance with her, and, although her face is so familiar, I cannot remember her name.” They finished their shopping and the two ladies found themselves at the same point where one of them had seen her disagreeable acquaintance. “There she is again. Why, I do be lieve she’s been there all the time,” she said, pointing to the person in question. “That woman? Goodness sakes, that’s yourself you sea in the mirror there,” said her friend, choking with laughter. And the mortified woman who had out her own reflection was obliged to acknowledge that the disagreeable smirk was her own. Killed by an Advertisement. Vestris, the great dancing-master, died at eighty-three, and it was said he would have lived till a hundred but for a sudden and mortal blow in the shape of an advertisement. One day he asked for a newspaper—prob ably for the first time in his life. Soarcely had he opened the sheet, when his eyes lighted upon the fol lowing: “Wanted, a professor of dancing at Calcutta. Must be a skill ful chiropodist at the same time.” He took to his bed and never left it again alive. Solomon's Wisdom Foiled. A Georgia magistrate was perplexed by the conflicting claims of two wo men for a baby, each contending that she was the mother of it. The judge remembered Solomen, and, drawing a bowie-knife from his boot, declared he would give half to each. The women were shooked, but had no doubt of the authority and purpose of the judge to make the proposed com promise. “Don’t do that,’’ they both screamed in unison, “you can keep it yourself.” BEST FOR SHIRTS. THE PROCTER ft GAMBLE 00, OINTI. Dec. 15. Hungarians are making prepara tions on a grand scale lor a raltlenlal exhibition, and the government ad dressed a prayer to the emperor that he might lend them all the his toric relics in his possession whioh have any connection with Hungarian history. The emperor granted the re quest and a number of Hungarian his torians and antiquarians have oome to Vienna to study the imperial col lection and make a list of the objeots in question. They have selected a great number, which represent a val ue of 3,000,000 florins—if the value oi unique historical relios oan be ex pressed in figures. Among these ob jects are copies of the portraits in re lief of King Mathias, Corvlnus and Queen Beatrix, a bronze bust of Mery, queen of Hungary; bronze reliefs oi Adrien Fries, illustrating the Hunga rian wars; the remnants of the erown of King Andreas and the imperial globe, dating from the fourteenth cen tury; the double cross that belonged to Lewis the Great, with relics oi Christ’s cross; a map of Hungary en graved in a metal plate, a nautilus shaped oup, with arms of the Batthy anis. It is easy to imagine what ef forts will be made in Hungary to pre vent these objeots from returning to Vienna when once they have been in the Hungarian capital; and if they are left there surely Prague would ask for all that referred to Bohemia in the imperial collections, and Cra cow for all that referred to Poland. Ills Idea CoSt Him SSO. Arthur E. Fowler of Lynn, Massa chusetts, pleaded guilty in the United States district court to the charge oi using the United States mails in a scheme to defraud. He was arrested Borne time ago for advertising in the newspapers stating that he would send a lady, on receipt of ten cents, a new improvement as a substitute for the obnoxious hat pin. When ho re ceived the money he inclosed in an envelope two small rubber bands, with instructions to fasten one end of a rubber to the hat and then pull it under the ear. After the facts were stated by United States Assistant Dis trict Attorney John H. Casey to Judge Kelson he fined Fowler 950 and the costs of prosecution. Good-Natured and Witty. Perhaps the best-natured, and at the same timo one of the wittiest, re joinders in religious dispute was that made by Father O'Leary to an Irish Protestant “I have no objeetion, ” said the latter, “to having the Virgin Mary treated with revercnoe, but only as a respectable, venerable woman just such a one as my own mother.” “Still,” replied O’Leary, “you must allow there is some difference in the children.” Heart Disease 3U Yrs! Short Breath, Palpitation. Mr. G. W. McKinsey, postmaster of Kokomo, Ind., and a brave ex-soldler, says: “I had been severely troubled with heart disease ever since leaving the army at the close of the late war. I was troubled with palpitation and shortness of breath. 1 could not sleep on my left side, and had pain around my heart. I became so 111 that I was much alarmed, and for* tunately my attention was called to Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure I decided to try it The first bottle made a decided improvement in my condition, and five bottles have com pletely cured me.” O.
