he tried various remedies recommended
by friends and neighbors, He says: "I
thought sure I would lose him. I had
seen Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy ad
vertised and thought I woult try it as a
last hope and am happy to say that after
two doses he slept until morning. I
gave it to him next day and u cure was
effected. I keep this remedy in the

MILKED A WHOLE COW.*
Zn This Fashion a I’eovlili Husband Chit
BU Bio wins '.Ylfn.
At a plea sant home in Covington
the other evening a happy company
were gathered. The host utul hostess
had just returned fr om a t rip to Mack
inac, and the young wife was relat
ing to her guests so mo of the inci
dents of the journey.
“Oh, I learned so many things
while we were gone," said she, and
her pretty face was lighted with the
most becoming animation as she went
on breathlessly.
“We stopped one day at the state
institution for the deaf and dumb in
Michigan, and what do you think the
steward told us? Why, he said they
sift a barrel of flour for every meal
there. ”
“A barrel of flour!” said a young
lady who was listening.
“Yes," said the hostess, triumph
antly, “for every meal. And how
many potatoes do you suppose they
peel for dinner? Ouess.”
Nobody dared.
“Ten bushels. Just think of it!
And they use three barrels of cab
bage, and when they have watermel
on it takes just 260 to go round. But
listen. That isn’t all. They seed 175
pounds of raisins for the Sunday cake
and they put twenty-one bushels of
apples in the pies. Don’t they, Har
ry?"
Harry was the husband and the
companion in this remarkable voyage
of discovery. He turned to his wife
fondly and then drawled out the
meanest speech of his married life.”
“Yes, my dear. Not only that, but
they milk one whole cow every day. ”
TRIES THE NERVES.
The Shoe Salesmen Certainly Hat lilt
Irn ablet.
“I do not believe," said a salesman
in a big retail shoehouse,where a vast
number of shoes are sold every day,
and principally to ladies, “that any
business in the world will try a man’s
nerves and patience like this. The
best and sweetest tempered woman
in the world becomes a cold-blooded
cynic the moment she starts to buy a
pair of shoes. She has a fixed idea iu
her head that she wears a certain size
and any attempt of a salesman to con
vince her that she wears a size larger
is regarded as an affront. I have
actually h ad women walk away from
me and ask the manager to send some
one else to wait on them because 1
showed them by measuring the out
line of their feet drawn on a piece of
paper, that they were mistaken in the
size.
“I remember particularly one lady
who insisted that she wore a 3 A, and
had never worn anything else in her
life. The shoe she had on was a 4 A,
although marked one size smaller. I
was imprudent enough to demon
strate this to her, and she took the
shoes from my hand and walked with
one stockinged foot to another sales
man. Recently I liad a customer
who tried on 14 pairs of shoes and
then did not buy, because she could
not get her foot into the size that she
declared was her fit By the time
we are ready to go home I feel sour
enough to make vinegar out of cider
by looking at it.”
HUMAN BALLOON.
An Indian With the Power of Distend
log Himself.
> San Jacinto has a first class sensa
tion in the person of a big Indian
named Eduardo Guata, who lives
across the river in the famous village
of Sabobo. Eduardo's peculiarity is,
that he has the power of distending
himself at will to most enormous di
mensions. When Eduardo has been
persuaded ‘ to give an exhibition of
his expansive properties, he arranges
for it with all due solemnity and dig
nity. He loosens his overalls, un
buckles his suspenders shakes out a
reef or two in his shirt, takes a last
look at the world, and starts in to
pump himself full of atmosphere.
It is a sight to see him swell up;
Eduardo is no sprinter to begin with,
but when he has successfully engulfed
a tubful or two of air he would put a
prize hog to the blush. He keeps on
bravely until the spectators get ner
vous with the momentary expectation
of an explosion. Just as the suspense
becomes unbearable Eduardo ceases
and displays his person proudly to
the assembled throng. They have
only one tape line, so haven’t tried to
measure him when inflated, but his
circumference is something appalling.
When Eduardo wishes to reduce him
self be merely makes some mysterious
folding motions of his arms and shoul
ders, when presto! change! Richard
is himself again.
Her Hat 1 rimmed With Smoke.
A woman hit on a style of bonnet
decoration the other evening' that she
probably will have no difficulty in
keeping exclusively. While in a mil
liner's store a tall loop of ribbon on
her hat caught tire in the gas jet. It
did not blaze, but there was a little
red coal of fire that spread along the
ribbon, and as she walked down the
street the smoke rose from her
head like the smoke from a locomo
tive. At the next store she visited
they smelled smoke and began to
look around to find the fire, and finally
located the trouble upon the unfor
tunate lady’s head.
Found a Watch Two Tears Host.
A man up in Maine stooped over to
pick up a stone to throw at a opw the
other day. Did he get hold of a bum
ble bee instead? No; this isn’t a
story with a moral. He picked up a
watch that he had lost two years ago,
and hadn't been able to find after
ever so persistent a search. And,
although a mowing machine had been
over the field two seasons, to say
nothing of rains of summer and snows
of winter, that watch is now ticking
off the hours as good as new.

HE’D LET QO.
A Buffalo Man Gives a Pointer to the
Saint.
In an art gallery in a town not far
from Buffalo there hangs a splendid
painting by some Frenchman (namo
forgotten by deponent) of tho temp
tation of St. Anthony. The painting
is one of the show pieces of the gal
lery and cost a fabulous amount of
money.
This artist's version of the tempta
tion represents the sorely-tried
saint clinging to a small sap
ling with one hand, while threo
scantily-clad and bewitching fe
males are tugging on the other
hand and trying to pull the saint from
his tree. The expression on the
saint’s face is tho crowning glory of
the picture. It is marvelously painted.
The other day a dignified and well
known Buffalonian was escorting
through the gallery his wife
and her friend, a charming yrang
widow from Washington. They
came to this picture and stood
before it a long time discussing its
beauties.
Just as they were about to leave,
the young Washington widow glanced
archly at the Buffalonian and said:
“Now Mr. U. if you were in SL An
thony’s place, what would you do?”
The Buffalo man looked perplexed
and hesitated for a minute, then said:
“Well, if the tree didn't break, I think
I should let go my hold.”
HALF BROWN.
furious Markings on tbs Body of a Lit
tle White Boy.
The colored woman who is turning
white in places has a rival in a little
white boy who was born brown in
places. The color of his brown places
is about the same as that of the skin
of the average Afro-American.
The little boy, George Russell by
name, is the son of a baker in New
York. lie was born in Omaha two
years ago. He is fair-haired and his
skin is light, aside from the patches.
He is plump and healthy.
The boy is mostly white as far down
as the waist line, below which he is
brown, with the exception of the left
leg below the knee.
The white portion, including the
face, arms and body, is dotted with
large patches of varying intensity of
color. On the loft temple is a very
large red birthmark. This is the only
approach to deformity in the child.
Otherwise he is very well formed.
There are fifteen spots on the face,
nearly as many more on the scalp, and
more are scattered over the should
ers, arms and body. The left leg be
low the knee is liberally spotted with
cniur down to the foot and on the toes.
Tired, Weak, Nervous
Could Not Sleep.
Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston,
Idaho, says: “I was all run down,
weak, nervous and irritable through
overwork. I suffered from brain fa
tigue, mental depression, etc. I be
came so weak and nervous that I
could not sleep, I would arise tired,
discouraged and blue. I began taking
i Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and now everything is changed. I
sleep soundly, I feel bright, active
and ambitious. I can do more in one
day now than I used to do in a week.
For this great good I give Dr. Miles’
i Bestorative Nervine the sole credit.
