"might have been worse:' Old Jeff Howerson, up in Lake county, always said that things might be worse. While a young fel low he was engaged to a beautiful girl, but she married another man, and Jeff sat down on the bank of the creek, gazing at the water and the dark shadows that seemed to float down the stream. A friend came to sympathize with him thinking that his spirit was broken, but Jell looked up aud said : "Oh, it could be worse." It was a philosophy that no one wished to argue against; it always has been aud doubtless will be until the end of human disappointment, which means until the end of time. Well, Jeif eut about his business what little he had and after a time married a girl who turned out to be a scold worst scold that any body had ever seen. One day she scolded because there wasn't any thiug in the house tit to eat. Jeff went to the cross roads grocery and returned with a market basket full of provisions. He put the basket on the floor aud turning to her with a philosophical smile, began with : 'My dear " but there he halted, for she flew at him. "Oh, how dare you make a slave of me!" she cried. "Oh, you heart less thing, loading me down with all IS YELLOW POISON In your blood ? Physicians call It nalarial Germ. It can be seen changing red blood yellow under microscope. It works day and night. First, it turri3 your com plexion yellow. Chilly, aching sensations creep down your backbone. You feel weak and worthless. ROBERTS' CHILL TONIC will stop the trouble now. It enters the blood at once and drives out the yellow poison. If neglected and when Chilis, Fevers, Night-Sweats and a gen eral break-down come later on, Roberts Tonic will cure you then but why wait ? Prevent future sickness. The manufac turers know all about this yel low poison and have perfected Roberts' Tonic to drive it out, nourish your system, restore appetite, purify the blood, pre vent and cure Chills, Fevers and Malaria. It has cured thous andsIt will cure you, or your money back. This is fair. Try it. Price, 25 cents, tui !e uj that stuff to cook," and she heaved the basket out into the road. Jeff scratched his head, and a neighbor who had seen the perfor mance haltsd and began to sympa thize with him, but Jell smiled and remarked : "Oh, it might have bean worse." The creek arose and washed his crop away, and because he dropped oil to sleep as usual that night his wife railed at him. "Oh, you haven't a particle of sense," she fumed. "Everything gone and here you are asleep." "Well, I can bring everything back being asleep about as well as being awake. Gone you know." "And I suppose it could have been worse." "Yes, we might haye had more to lose." "I do think you've got less sense than any man I ever saw." "Well," he drawled, "might have been worse." "I don't see how. Wish you'd tell me." "I might have had a twin brother might be two of us instead of one, you know." Tho next season there came a cy clone and everything on the farm but the mortgage was swept away, and Jeff 'lowed that it might have been worse. His wife snapped at him. "Well, I can't see how." "Why, it might have blown the well away. As it is, you see, we've got plenty of good water, and if there should come a water famine throughout the country our supply would be worth thousands of dol lars." About the time the philosopher got back into shape a couple of fel lows came along and sold him a gold brick for the price of his wheat crop. His wife had been delighted at the deal, but when the truth fell cold upon her she flew at him with a spurt of reproaches. lie pointed to the fact that hog cholera was raging in the neighborhood. "But what difference docs that make ?" she snorted, and ho replied; "Good deal. Myk.es it all the better for us." "I don't see how," "Why, we haven't any hogs to lose." To the neighborhood lie was a great comfort. Discontent stopped at his gate to receive encouragement. and once when an old man had been made to believe that down the road there was for him a better day lying bright in the sun, the wife came out and colded him away, but Jelf oaught up with him, climbed up in The Best Remedy for Croup. From the Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe. This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neigh borhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be. lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to ''throw uf the phlegm' quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Giyo this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists. his buggy and said : "Old friend, it might have been worse; she might have kept you from stopping." "Ah," the old man replied,' "you help me, but where is your encour agement?" "Mine? Oh, I have it. I might have married my wife sooner." One day while tho wife was walk ing in the woods a tree fell and knocked her senseless. Some one went after Jetf, found him talking to some gloomy neighbors, and when he arrived at home the doctor was getting ready to leave, having given his patient up. The woman called Jeif to the bedside and with the last irleam of reason said to him : "Now, you see what has happened. I am dying. Can you say it could have been wone?" Jell scratched his head. "Yes, Jane, it could have been worse." "But I don't see how," she feebly replied. "Why, dear the tree fell this week, didn't it? Well, it might not have fallen till week after next and, be sides, it might have fallen on me." And the neighbors all said it could have been worse. Opie P. Head. For a Bad Cold.
