A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox evolves the
following beautiful and truthful
sentiment:
Standing in line for theater tick-
ets was a well dressed woman friend.
The friend yasn't there for tickets
—-she was simply with tho woman
in line. The latter was right behind
a man who was smoking a big ci-
gar lustily. The smoke went into
the face of the woman In line and
it made her mad. Sh« didn't speak
to the smoker, but she decided to do
some talking to her friend.
"This smoke is awful!" she said
Indignantly.
"Indeed, It is," was her friend's
reply. The man continued to puff.
"They ought not to permit such
men to stand in line," said the wo-
man behind the smoker.
"Of course, they oughn't," re-
plied her friend. The man smoked
on.
"Any man who'll smoke In the
face of a lady is no gentleman,"
came from the woman In line. "I
wish my husband were here. Ile'd
see about this."
Just then a big cloud of smoke
encircled her, It came from behind.
Turning fairly beside herself with
rage, the woman looking into the
face of the new offender. It was her
husband. Denver Post.

A Soldier's Grave.
A pathetic story of Civil War
times is recalled to the older pioneer
people of Chester county In the
western part of Tennessee by the re-
cent dea'h of ex-Governor James S.
Hogg of Texas. Some days after the
battle of Shlloh, one of the decisive
and bloody engagements of the wat.
fought on April 6-7, 18G2, a lone
and wounded Confederate soldier
made his way to a log cabin, located

"Last winter I caught a very ae-

says J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Onts-
rlo. "My cough was very dry ano
harsh. The local dealer recommend-
ed Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and guaranteed It, no I gave It a tri-

me. I believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to be the best I have ever
used." This remedy Is for sale by

The missionary held up a beauti-
ful piece of Chinese writing.
"It is a Chinese medical prescrip-
tion," he said. "A friend of mine,
Dr. Ping Cho prescribed it to a wo-

of opium. I'll read It to you."

To these Ingredients which It
would take a day to aeeamble, two

took the man in and administered
to his wants as best they could with
their limited resources. They were
unable to secure medical attention
and the soldier, already emaciated
from the lack of food and proper
attention, gradually grew weaker
and weaker until ho died. Realizing
his approaching end, the soldier re-
tuestcd that bis body be burled in
the wood near the house, and mark-
ed with a simple slab bearing the
name, "Gen. J. L. Hogg, Rusk, Tex-
as."
The request was complied with,
and in the years that passed the

became overgrown with wild weeds,
