No healthy person need fear any dangerous, consequences from an atlack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much the Hume as a Ht-vere cold and requires precisely the name treatment. Kemain quiet ly at home and take Chamberlain's Couli Remedy as directed for a se vere cold and a prompt and com plete recovery is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency ol la grippe to result in pneumonia. Ainon the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneumonia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F.

''In the" Intter r.iup I used Chamberlain's Cough remedy, and I thins with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days, againBi ten days for the first attnek. The second attack, I am ratsfied, would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy, as I had to go to bed in about 8x hours after being struck with it, while in the first case I was able to atiend to business about two days before getting down. 59 cent bot tles for sale by F.

KrnIunln rll!i it 'nill-n-y Tliat ll:t !n UnntrerTlne Through Many Vcur.- America, so far as we know, has n patron 6,'iiut. Colniubns was never can onized, and George Washington livetl too late for such honors. But she has compensation for this lack in the num ber of saints brought with her settlers. St. Nicholas, St. David, St. Andrew, St. George and we know not how many more have become dominciled, each bringing his quota of history, legend, poetry, song and genial association, but they are incidental thrown in with the bargain, as it were and oar republic has no one patron saint. We would not willingly say a depre ciatoiy word of those distinguished per sonages whom we mentioned, but simple. modest, historic truth compels us to say that no one of them is more than a "cir cumstance" on American Boil to him whose anniversary day, crisp, breezy and bracing, calls out the long proces sion, the harp-decorated green flag and the indestructible shamrock which re appears in fresh verdure every year. For something like 1,100 years the 17th of March has been observed as St. Pat rick's Day. And yet it is curious how entirely this eminent saint has been overlooked in naming places. You have saints all through the alphabet, from St. Albans to St. Vincent, but no St. Patrick. The Scotch have got in their St. Andrew, in the cold north, to be sure, as was fit. The Anthonys, Augustines, Bernards, Charleses, Christophers, Clairs, Francis es, Johns, Josephs (run into Joes pro fanely), Lawrences, Louises, Marys, Pauls, Peters and all the rest have their names linked with towns, parishes or streams, but there is not a notable St. Patrick's anywhere. This can only be explained by the modesty of those who hold him in regard, and it is a wrong that ought to be redressed. It is to be lamented that so much of the poetry, song and drollery of a lively, mirthful, mercurial and imaginative people have gathered around this name that the historical character is lost sight of, and there stands up to the popular eye a legendary figure, exorcising the snakes and displaying the shamrock. Nothing can be further from the reality than this picture. A great amount of real scholarship has been expended on the investigation of St. Patrick's his tory, and while differences of opinion exist as to details, St. Patrick, unlike St. George, of England, is recognized by all as a true man with a definite record and a solid claim to the veneration of the good. According to history, Patrick was a farmer's son, either on the coast of France or of Scotland, most of the early i church authorities representing him being born about 410, in the neighbor hood of what is now Boulogne. His original name was Succath, which the early writers of the Irish Christian church stated meant "brave in heart," and the Latin name Patricius was later given to him. At sixteen he was carried captive iuto Ireland and was in slavery for six years. While serving as a herder in compara tive loneliness in woods and wilds the Christian truth of his early daj-s came to his mind, tie prayed, meditated, be lieved; and when liberated returned to his home what would now be called a converted, acti vely religious man. He re- membered with pity the heathen among whom he lived, and returned to tbem as a Christian teacher. That is supposed to have been about the year 4-ii. He preached the Gospel with singular elo quence and such extraordinary effect that he established Christianity to strongly in Ireland that it could not be overthrown. He baptized the kings of Dublin and Munster and the sons of the king of Connaught. He also established numerous monasteries. St. Bernard testifies that St. Patrick fixed his metropolitan sea at Armagh. He devoted much attention to the sut pression of slavery, one of the conse quences of the piratical expeditions of the age. He died in Down, Ulster, on March 17, of either the year 493 or "403. J Here are his own words rendered into English from the stiff Latin, tinged with Celtic, in which his "Confessions" are written: "I am greatly a debtor to God, who has bestowed his grace so largely upon me, that multitudes should be born again to God through me, and that of these, clergy should be everywhere ordained for a people lately coming to the faith, whom the Lord took from the extremities of the earth. The Irish, who never had the knowledge of God, and hitherto worshiped only idols and unclean things, have lately become the people of the Lord, and are called the sons of God." The "Confessions" the shortest, the genuine work, without later interpola tions is in the "Book of Armagh," one of the richest literary treasures of the Irish libraries. Daniel D.

RUNNING A PONY EXPRESS. Exrllini; i:iTl-nrf of n Mall Carrier i ' the I arly In f the V-f.t. When ti' venerable Steve Uncles pulled off hi- t-torni dt lier and touched up with a parlor match a goodly pinch of old Virginia natural leaf, he was only a moment sending more than a cloud winding among his neihhoi h i-i the Grand I'acMic corridor. Sieve h.. 1 come in from Denver a few hours be fore and had b en in the city just alxnit long enough to not care a blank wheth er he saw an) thing, anybody or any where. , "You can bet that I'll show some cf these tenderfeet, if they tackle me, that I'm the biggest glizzly this side of the ieak," and Steve gyrated and de scribed a few circles with his feet. "Nary jump in the road are any of theMi here umbrella swingin dudes goin tr 6tep np next ter me, fer right sudden there's goin ter be er row. Now, there cain't anybody realize any better than 1 kin that Chercawgo is ther city of ther only World's fair, but let me tell you, pardner, some of these young ducks what thinks they'se got an immortal cinch on the universe is goin ter get into a hull lot of trouble if they fools with this old cormorant from away out west.V Old Steve took an extra puff on his well seasoned black brier and settled into a reminiscent mood. He had taken part in many of the early incidents of the border days, and when he was in clined could tell many interesting tales. "Why, young fellow, 'way back in 1849 I was one of the first of the boys to. tackle the pony express business. It didn't take much nerve the way nerve weighs nowadays, but when you come to look at it in them days a fellow had to take all the chances of a lifetime, and it was a kinder ticklish job to tackle a horseback ride across the Injun country alone. "I would start out from St. Jo, pony on the gallop from the second I put my hand on the saddle horn, and ther wan't no let up on that jump till I landed in Denver. Right through the redskin country then, and now when you can look at 'em livin quiet down in Florid.t or occasionally kickin over the traceb up north, they ain't a marker to what we had to deal with in thet country them days. It was likely to be a run nin tight from start ter finish, and 1 am only sorry thet j er didn't live ter write erbout thet old time from actual ex perience." "Tell me something about the pony express." "Well, of course it's an old story about how she was started and run un til the stages and railroads knocked the business out. But in the early days of that gallopin mail arrangement a feller got all the excitement he wanted every trip. You know we wasn't suptosed to lose a second's time along the road, and many's the time I've ridden a quarter or half a mile on the dead run with the saddle cinches undone completely, so's the minute I got 'longside my change pony I'd lose no time transferring my saddle. "Fer a long time we didn't know 'whether er not we was goin to find any transfer still runnin fer our benefit, fer the ponies was good ones and the Injuns didn't care much fer a man er two when they was after hosses. Several times I struck a deserted transfer station, saw the poor fellers lyin there with the top of their head gone, but I had to move on, as 1 had a tired iony and couldn't lose time getting to the next station to change." "Did you ever have any personal en counters with the Indians, Mr. Rugles?" "You bet, but don't call me Mr. Iluglcs; plnin old Steve. Yes, I've heard the whizz of the arrer and hum of the ballet, have gone at a dead run with the bridle reins between my teeth, both h&nds busy with two six shooters, and have been plugged three times. That's tho narrowest escape I ever had," and the veteran pushed back his gray hair and exhibited a scar that extended across the 6ide of the head on a level with the left temple. "It was getting along toward night, and about the time the pony began to act kinder queer I commenced to realize that Injuns was somewheres close. Sure enough, the first thing I knew, a gang of 'em comes gallopin from some timber a short ways off, yellin and shootin. Pony and me went fer all we was worth, and then I remember holdin onto the saddle horn and all grew suddenly dark. A heavy jolting woke me up, and I found that my saddle had saved my scalp. Wounded and stunned, I had never lost my horse sense, yer might say, and I had hung on all the time." At this junction one of Steve's early friends came up, everybody went up and "smiled," and Steve promised to talk more seme other time. Chicago News. A New AVortl.

Haskell, who are equal partners. , -The firm is announced as Medame Haskell & Haskell. Miss Elizabeth U. Gates, already well known as a lecturer, is the author of this significant and ex pressive title. , It will doubtless come into general use as the new order of things makes a term simplifying the business partnership of men and women necessary, and this would apply equally well to such persons, married or single.
