A COMPLETE CURE.
Th Story of the Girl Who Ran Away
From Home.
"I rnn away once" began the
young woman in the rocker to some
afternoon callers. ''It was when I
was eight. I was a terrible child
and as there were six others my
mother had no time to reason with
me. Anyhow I didn't deserve to be
reasoned with this time for I had
walked deliberately over the lace
curtains which were pinned out on
the floor to dry. I believed I was
pretending I was Mary queen of
ocots or some one equally above
caring for lace curtains.
"As I had been reproved for doing
the same trick before I was whip-
ped for it this time. It hurt my dig-
nity and I went upstairs and made
a bundle of my best gown. Down-
stairs 1 hunted for a string and
when mother inquired what I was
doing I said I couldn't seem to get
along with her and was going away
from home.
"I had a wise mother. She made
no remonstrance. She merely said
she hoped I'd find a place to suit me
and helped me tie up my dress. I
devarted haughtily my mind on
the home of some old" friends of
ours German people. I thought I
could find the place if I followed the
etreet car track and I did.
"When I walked in they were
glad to see me and when I told
them confidently I had come to stay
because I couldn't get along with my
mother they did not seem in the
least surprised. I did not know
mother had telephoned them of my
probable arrival.
"1 nev said I could stav with thern
always if I wanted to but there was
one thing I must remember I mu
f peak German all the time ; no Eng
lish would be allowed. As I knew
about three words of German the
prospect looked black; but on the
other hand it was preferable to
home.
"The familv had company bo that
night I had to sleep with tho two
grownup daughters.
"In the middle of the night I eud
denly woke up with an awful home-.
eickness. I tumbled and tossed til
finally one of the young women ex
asperated by mv pranks spnnked
me and ordered mo to lie quiet and
let other people sleep if I didn t
want to mvself.
"That was the last straw. Even
here I was whipped. If I must be
whipfod let it occur in the seclusion
of my home. If heaven permitted
me to live till morning I would go
home as fast as I could. I lay there
6eetmng with rape and wounded
pride and at the break of day I slid
out carefully dressed grabbed my
best gown and let mvself out.
"Toward home I flew and I shall
never forget my awful sinking of the
heart when I found the house still
locked up and the shades down.

She looked at me as though I had

ahe inquired.
"That was when I wanted to die
right away. My own mother had
forgotten me and in so short a
time!
"I managed to choke out in ter-
ror: 'Why don't you know me? I'm
your Jittfe girl. I'm Sue'
"'Oh oh!' she said in a puzzled
way. 'But I thought you had gon
away for good. I didn't suppose you
were ever coming back.'
"I don't remember how many
kinds of angel I promised to be
before she relented and let me in.
But I never ran away again."

Sells More of Chamberlain's
Cough Keniedy than of
All Others Put
Together.
The following' letter from a
locality where Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is well known
shows by the unprecedented de-
mand for it that the medicine
sells on its own merit. Mr.
Thos. George a merchant at
Mt. Elgin. Ontario says: "I
have bad the local agency for
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
ever since it was introduced in-
to Canada and I sell as much of
it as I do of all other lines I
have on my shelves put to-
gether. Of the many dozens
sold under guarantee I have
not had one returned. I can
personally recommend this
medicine as I have used it my-
self and given it to my children
and always with the best re
suits." For sale by S. V. Wirt
Druggist.
A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Tho TerHblo Infant Telia Tatoa Out of
School to New Found Frienda.
The little boy made eyes at the
women in the seat behind and at last
deserted his mother for their society-
"Yes'in" he said "we're going on
the train. Ain't it fine? My uncle's
dead. We're gain' to his flunerell."
"Was your uncle your mother's
brother?" asked one of the women.
"Yes'm an' papa hates him. An
when my mother was a little girl my
uncle was a little boy an' he licked
my pHpa. You see that lunch bastik ?
Well we've got some chicking in it
cold chicking. nn' I'll give you some.
When my mother was a little girl
she always had to eat the neck 'caus
there was two four elevum chil-
dren an' she was the littlest an'
6he just hates the neck."
His new found friends wero prop-
erly sympathetic.
"See that satchel? Well that
ain't ours. We had to borry it from
Mrs. Didson 'cause the mite ato ours
all up. Oo! Look at them cows!
We had a cow once but it died.
Ain't that a pretty-dress mamma's
got on? It ain't hern. It's Mrs.
IMdson's only she's bigger'n my
mother. I guess you ain't got any
little bovs have vou ? Is your uncle
dead?" Boston "Post

Not a Business Matter.
"Why do you wish to learn jiu
jitsu? I can't see where it'll help
any in your business.
"It's on my wife's account. She's
so fussy. Whenever our cook has a
beau who stays later than 12 o'clock
at night I have to go down to the
kitchen and order him to leave."

A NOVEL INSOMNIA REMEDY.
In a recent In. Mr. Stackpool
O'Dell puts forward a novel remedy
for sleeplessness. He says: Take a
card about the size of a sheet of
foolscap and obtain n bottle of lumi-
nous paint. Write with the paint
upon the card the words "Sleep
6leep sleep" large and clear. Place
this card in the daytime where the
light will get at it and at nighttime
in such a position on the wall or on
a screen that you will have to lift up
your eyes in order to look at it
while you are lying in your easiest
position on the bed that is to say
the position in which you generally
go to sleep. As you see the illumi-
nated words repeat them to your-
self in a monotonous manner. As
the eyelids become tired let them
close. You- will not in most cases
repeat the words very often before-
eleep brings on forgetfulncsa. Humanitarian.
The Longest 8trlk.
What is the longest striko on rec-
ord? There is one still running In
Germany which has endured for
thirty-five years. It has other re-
markable features as well as the
strikers arc members of parliament
though it must be admitted of a
small one. They are the deputies to
the diet of the principality of Hatze-
burg and they are striking against
the reactionary constitution imposed
by the Grand Duko of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz in 1SG0.
Since that year the members of
the diet have steadily refused to
meet although frequently called
upon to do so. Now however tho
new duke hns held out the hand of
reconciliation and promised to con-
sider their demands for a revision of
the constitution so that the strike
will probably soon come to an end.
Cured by Laughing.
Dy;-pcpsi:i b nov to be systematic-
ally cured by laughter. It is stated
that a Paris doctor in return for a
large fee admits patient into his
private institution where the mirth
treatment is administered. A few
dyspeptics sit around a room and
beppn to smile at each other. The
smile must never be allowed to fade
away. On the contrary it must In?
developed by will power into a grin
and the grin into a guffaw. Then
you - have- to go on laughing until
your sides ache when you will very
6oon feel much better. A course of
a week or two of the treatment at
the rate of a couple of hours' gig-
gling a day cures tho worst cases of

A Long Drawn Out Nam.

The crocodile is a large animal
that inhabits the Nile and loves to
go on the sandy beach to bask in
the sunshine and lav eggs. It looks
some like a dachshund only there is
more of it at the ends and it is big
ger lhere was n crocodile once
that escaped from a circus. It roam
ed o'er the country seeking in vain
lor i;rs and small children to de
vour and died of starvation in great
anguish. 1 ou can ride on the back
of a crocodile but it is moro com-
fortable to use a saddle. It is usual-
ly quiet but is terrible when roused.
We all ought to be thankful wc are
not a crocodile. Benny in Chicago

The Dutch are the most accom-

There exists no finer monument to
