CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY WOULD HAVE SAVED HIM $lOO.OO "In 1902 I had a very severe attack of diarrhoea," says R. N. Farrar of Cat island La. "For several weeks I was ueable to do anything, on March 18, 1907, I had similar attack and took Chamberlains Colic and Dirrahoea Re medy which gave me prompt relief. I consider it one of the best medicines of its cikd in the world and had I used it in 1902 believe it would haved me a hundred dollar doctor bill." Sold bv " W. S. Martin. y Just So. A woodpecker sat on a knotty limb; his head was red and his temper grim; for the world was out of whack with him. He had hammered the stumps till his head did swim; he had looked for worms till his eyes were dim; he, nad punched each tree and knot and limb, and darn the bug there was for him. Not a song he sung, not a woodland hymn, for how can a bird with hunger slim, and gaunt starvation grew some grim, looking right into the eyes of him, get up a voice like a cherubim and with melody make the welkin swim? His crop was vacant, and only a whim, was in the stomach of him. Then he flew to the river and drowned him, and never made an effort to swim. His last words were "Oh birdie trim, why did you vote for that hawk fo prim, who got to work on each woodland limb, and placed a trust on the bugs of whim ? I m like the farmer gaunt and grim, who gets surrounded by a rim of trusts that fiill him to the brim with wind till there's naught in the stomach of him." The woodpecker then was out or breath, and the fish that ate him starved to death. An exchange says there are two reasons why some people don t mind their own business. One is that they haven's any business. A SRfflMil Showing How Brave Men Can Calmly Meet Death. WRECK OF THE BIRKENHEAD. The Way This British Vessel Went Down Off the Cape of Good Hope. Most of the Crew Were Lost and Ail the Women and Children Saved. Visitors to the hospital of the old pensioners at Chelsea will perhaps have noticed In the colonnade a simple me inoiial tablet, placed there by order of the late Queen Victoria to record the heroic constancy and discipline of the officers and soldiers who lost their lives in the wreck of the transport Bir kenhead off the Cape of Good Hope on Feb. 26. 1852. On Jan. 7 in that year, aft er embarking re-enforcements amount Ing to fifteen officers and 476 men foi the troops engaged in the Kaffir war 1 the Birkenhead left Ireland for th cape. On board were also 166 womei and children, the wives and familie? of soldiers. All went well till th transport reached Simon's Town, when ten officers and eighteen men wer lauded. The ship continued her cours on the evening of Feb. 25. But th captalu in his anxiety for a quick pas gage unfortunately kept so close to th shore that during the night the shi| got among the rocks which line tbt coast About three miles off Dangei point at 2 o'clock In the morning of th« 2t»th, while all except those on watel: wore sleeping peacefully in their ham mocks, the ship struck with a violent shock. The bulk of the men on board were young soldiers. The rush of water on the Birkenhead striking was so great that most of the Holdiers on the lower troop deck were drowned in their hammocks. The re mainder. with all the officers, appeared on deck, many only partly dressed, and fell in as orderly and as quietly #s on the barrack square. Calling the officer? round him. Lieutenant Colonel Seton of the Seventy-fourth highlanders, the senior officer on board, Impressed on them the necessity for preserving or der and sileuce among the men. The services of the next senior. Captalu Wright Ninety-first highlanders. were placed at the disposal of the command er of the ship to carry out whatever orders he might consider essential Sixty men were put on the chain pumps on the lower after deck and told off In three reliefs. Sixty more were put on to the tackles of the pad die box boats, and the remainder were brought on to the poop to ease the fore part of the ship, as she was roll ing heavily. The commander next or dered the officer?" chargers to be pitch ed out of the gangway. The plunging and terrified horses were got up and cast over, five of them managing to swim ashore. The cutter was then got ready for the women and children, who had been collected under the poop awning, and they were passed In one by one. There being room in the boat for one or two more, the order was given for any trumpeter or bugler boys to be taken. A young drummer standing near was told by an officer to get into the boat, but drawing him self up, exclaimed that he drew man's pay and would stick by his comrades. The cutter then shoved off in charge of one of the ship's officers, and the women and children were safe. No sooner was she clear than the entire bow of the vessel broke off at the foremast, the bowsprit going np in the air toward the foretopmast. The funnel also went over the side, carry ing away the starboard paddle box and boat and crushing the men on the tackles. The paddle box boat capsized on being lowered, and the large boat In the center of the ship could not be got up. The men were then ordered on to the poop, where they stood calmly awaiting their fate. Within a few minutes the vessel broke in two. cross wise, Just abaft the engine room, and the stern began rapidly to fill. In this extremity the commander called out. "Those who can swim jump overboard and make for the boats!" but the of ficers begged the soldiers not to, as the boat with the women and children would be swamped. They were young men in the prime of life, with all be fore them, yet no one moved, nor did any sign of terror or fear escape them. Lower and lower sank the vessel into the deadly sea. The old transport shivered, gave a final plunge and dis appeared, carrying with her the band of heroes on deck and those working below at the pumps. Men of aii ages and ranks they were —the colonel and the drummer boy, of ficers of gentle birth and men from the workshop, the plow and the mine, but all animated with the same heroic resolution, fortitude and chivalry—as cool as though they had been on their parade ground, with as much courage as in action in the field. A few man aged to cling to the rigging of the mainmast, part of which remained out of water, while others got hold of float ing pieces of wood and were eventually rescued, but of fourteen officers and 4T>B men no fewer than nine officers and 349 men perished, many falling prey to the attacks of the sharks, which surrounded the ship in shoals, waiting for their victims. Every wo man and child was saved.' Perhaps the greatest compliment ever paid to the~ memory of the brave was the order of the king of Prussia for the account of the wreck of the Birken head to be read on three successive parades at the head of every regiment In his army, and It was spoken of la every school in Prussia and Germany. —London Qlobe. THE REMEDY THAT DOES. '"Dr. King's New Discover is. th remedy that does the healing others promise but fail to perform," says Mrs E. R. Pierson. of Auburn Centre, Pa. It is curing roe of throat and lung trouble of long standing, that other treatments relieved only temporarily. New Discovery is doing me so much good that I feel confident its con tinued use for a reasonable length of time will restore me to perfect health. This renowned cough and cold rem edy and throat and lung healer is sold at C. M. Shuford W. S. Martin and Menzies drug stores 50c. and SI.OO. Trial bottle free. The Baltimore America steps up and remarks with great solemnity: "Taft's nomination rises to the height of an inspira tion." Ortainly it did and Roosevelt's inspiratin at that, the one with the big stick also inspir ing some about Sherman.—News and Obsevt r. CONSUMPTION. All nations are endeavoring to check the ravages oi consumption, the "White plague" that claims so many victims each year. Foley's Honey and Tar cures coughs and colds perfectly and yun are in no dangea of consumption, ou not risk your health by taking some Doknown preparation when Foley's Honey and Tar is s afe and certain in results. The anti-injuction plank of the republican platform, as finally adopted, is a transparent fraud. It is possible that the members of the committee were buncoed by some trust lawer —that is the J only charitable view that can be taken of it. Those who advo cated the plank claimed to be doing it as a cencession to the wage earners, aod yet if you will read the plank he will see that it is in fact an announcement that the republican part is un alterably opposed to the labor ing man's position.—Commoner.
