This Cough Syrup is different from all others because it acts on the bowels. You can not cure Croup and Whooping Cough until you rid the system of all congestion, by working on the cold through a copious action of the bowels. Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar does thus, and cures all Coughs, Croup, Whooping-Cough, etc. No opiates. Sold bv. S. H. Kllison, & Co. An Awkward Position. The following incident occured at an intertainment in a large pro vincial town. On the programme a certain vocalist was down to sing "The Miner's Dream of Home," and to add special effect to the souk he, having a friend a fireman at the fire station, about three minutes' walk from the hall, ran out and borrowed his top-boots. His turn on the programme came around. He appeared on the stage in all the glory of a red blouse, slouch hat, white breeches and (the fireman's) top-boots. His render ing of the song was a great success up to the middle-of the second verae, when a commotion was heard at the entrance of the hall. Then a hot and eager fireman forced his way through the audi ence up to the footlights, and bawled out at the top of his voice: "Bill, you've got to come out of them 'ere boots if you value your life. I'm called to a fire."—Tit- Bits.

The clear limpid waters that sur round Bermudt and the West Indies lie alMtve coral reefs covered with plants and animals, many of which are brilliant in color as a rainbow. They look like glimpses of fairy land, and as yo >reye wanders from one wonder to another you catch yourselt striving to peep just around some corner into a st-ange nook half hoping to ser a bevy of mer men and mermaids sporting and playing within the crannies. Here is a patch of pale green sea lettuce, there a group of great purple sea fans, yonder some golden corals standing out like a tree, while among them all swim lovely fishes that take the place of the faries that should dwell in th's inagic land and fascinate you by their gorgeous colois and their graceful, wavy motions. There is a great green "parrot tish'' as brilliant jn color as his namesake the bird, showing him self boldly and swimming along slowly, secure from any assault. His scales are gree.i as the fresh grass of springtime, and each one is bordeiedby a p;ile blown 1 lie. His fins are pink, and the end of the tail is banded with nearly every color of the rainbow He is showy, but this showincss seives him a _ood purpose. His Hesh is bitter and poisonous to man and probably so to oth r tishes as well, and they let him well alone, for they can re cognize him afar off, thanks to his gaudy dress. Underneath the parrot, lying on the bottom, is a "pink hind '. You notice him, and as the parrot passes over him he suddei-ly changes to bright scarlet and as quickly re sumes his former faint color, (lad the parrot been looking for his din ner and thought the hind would make a good first course, this sud den change of color might have scared him off, just as the su dei> bristling of a cat makes a dog change his mind When a hind is disturbed at night, he gives out flashe lights to startle the intrude! and send him away in a fright.—St. Nicholas. Tirrific Rati With Death "Death was fast approaching.'' writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa Fla., describing his tearful race with death, "as a result of liver trouble and keart disease, which had robbed nie of sleep and of all interest in life. I had tried many different doctors and several medicines, but got no lienefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their effect, that in three days I felt like a new man 'and today I am cured of all my troubles." Guaranteed at S. R. Bigg's drug store. Too Much Exercise. ••Do you V-nnw" said a pale young invalid at a heal h resort re cently, "I believe that the aitides that are written on the necessity ot physical exercise for women ar- mostly rot. lam a case in point. Ever since I was born I have been fed on hygi. Nic foods, have done hygienic things—and have been an invalid. To develop my muscle 1 have stead ly attended gymna slums and my room is equipped with chest weights, dumb bells, Indian clubs and a punching bag. Now, at the age of twenty. 1 am as thin and pale as a factory hand My cousin Mary has never con sidered her health. So far as 1 know, she never ate anything be cause it was good for her or re trained because it was bad for her She never pulled a chest-weight or swung a club in her life, yet *he is the picture of health with a color and figure any one would envy Kxercise may be a pleasant form of diversion, but 1 am convinced it has ve y little to do with one's health."—New York Tribune. • ACreeiiag Death Blood poison creeps up toward the heart, causing death. J. E. Stearns, Belle Plaine, Minn., writes that a friend dreadfully his hand, which swelled UP like blood poison ing. Bucklen's Arnica salve drew out the poison, healed the wound, and saved his life. Best in the world for burns and «ores. 25c at S. R. Bigg's drug store. The Great Joke, Death. "Death," said a publisher, "has been treated humorously in our lit erature often. Indeed I am quite sure that a collection of many thick volumes might lie made under the title of 'Death's Funny Side.' Thomas Hood was one of our best writers of this sort of verse. Don't you remember his ballad on the youtig sailor who died heartbroken over his girl's untaith f The last stanra was: "His happened in his berth, At forty odd befell; They went and told the sexton, and The sexton tolled the bell. "Hood did another ballad on the subject of a soldier who lost both legs in battle, who was in con sequence jilted by his sweetheart and who then hung himself. Now that is rather tragic, is it uot ? It has a bizarre but none the less poiguant tragic note. Guy de Maupassant indeed once handled almost this same situation, but he handled it from the opposite view point, and don't voti remember how he narrated the first, the cru cial, meeting of the lovers after Ben Battle's double amputation ? "But when he called on Nellie Gray She made him quite a scoff, And wheu she saw his wooden legs Began to take them off. "This treatment drove Ben to despair ; "So around his melancholy ueck A rope he did entwine And for the second time in life Unlisted in the line. "And there he hung 'till he was dead As any nail iu town; For, though despair had cut hitn up, It could not cut him down. "There is a tremendous litera ture of humorous etitauhn. Th»r«. must be, I Y iucy, 10,000 of these, but two of them are all I can re call. The first goes: "Here lies the lxHly of mild Maria; She went one day lo start the fire, "Biit the wood was green, So she used kerosene, And now she's where the fuel is, drier. "The other is grimmer : "Life is a lie, and all things show it; I thought so once, and now I know it. "Then there are songs on the side splitting aspects of death, some of which have caused tender hearted ladies to double up with mirth 'Johnny Jones and His Sister Sue' is one such song, and I bet that six people out of ten 111 America know it by heart. "Yes," the publisher concluded, "under the title of 'Death's Funny Side' an anthology of many, many volumes could be made. The an thology should be IKJUIKI in black pigskin, with grinning skulls and crossbones tooled in gold on it." — Philadelphia Record.

Harrowing a man's feelings won't help toward cultivating his acquaintance.

Saved by Dynamite Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can't cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so long, you feel as if nothing but dynnamite would cure it. Z. T. Gray, of Calhoon, Ga., writes- "My wife had a very aggravated cough, which kept her awake nights. Two physicians could not help her; so she took Dr King's New Discovery for Consum ption, Coughs and Colds, which eased her cough, gave her sleep, and finally cured her."

Your value to the town in which live must lie measured by the work you do. If you have noth ing but criticisms and unkind re marks to make of the town and people therein or if you never pat ronize home industries but spend your nionev in other towns, you may depend upon it the good you will do for those around you will amount to very little, and you ought to go forthwith to some place that you can work for and talk for. Both the town you leave and the one you move to would be better for such a change. —Ashe ville Citizen. FOLEYSHONEI^IAR hwilihu^i Helpful Hints.

This from the Atlanta Journal is plumbing the line; "While it is rather mean to accuse Alexander Hamilton of having been the foun der of the New Jersey breed of trusts, it isn't half as mean as accusing Thomas Jefferson ol being the father of all the various brandk of so-called "Jeffersonian" Democracy that are in existence to day."

Breaking a Will. A wealthy woman named Sylvia died at Lisbon and left her entire property to a rooster. She was a fervid spiritualist, a believer in the trausmitigation of souls, and imag ined the soul of her dead husband had entered the rooster. She caus ed a special fowl-bouse to be built and ordered her servants to pay extra attention to their "master's" wants. The disgust of her rela tives over the will caused the story to become public, and a lawsuit might have followed had not one of the heirs adopted the simple ex pedient of paving the wealthy rooster killed, thus becoming him self the next of kin. —Ex. An exchange says that "laying on of hands" for compliments, especially in children, is now tak ing the place of Christian science. A mother cured her son of using profane language with one dose. She laid her left hand on a sub stantial slipper, and then laid the slipper where it would do the most good. It effected a cure, and a re lapse is not looked for.
