How to Cure a Cold He as careful as you can you will occasionally take cold; and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability; one that has has an established r-putation and that is, certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by its remarkable curses of this most common ailment; and can always be depended upon. It acts on nature's plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of a single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used; which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by all druggists.

COURT ORDERS MICHIGAN COLLEGE TO ADMIT THEM AS STUDENTS. Grand Rapids. Mich., Judge Perkins in the County Curtt on the 17th, inst., issued a mandamus directing the Grand Rapids Vetinary college to accept the entrance application of F. D. Jooker and W. D. McCoy two Colored students. The Negroes were refused admission at the opening of the school this year, the color line being drawn against them although they had completed one year of the course at the college. Judge Perkins held that the college being a quasi-public institution and as such receiving certain benefits from the state had no right to discriminate among citizens. We are proud of the victory for right and justice. We as a race must learn to know and stand by and support our white friends who are honestly and earnestly fighting for equal accommodations. We congratulate Judge Perkins and those who assisted him in this case. SOUTHERN ORPHANAGE AND INDUSTRIAL TRAINING The above institution at Sanford, N.

Upon such a aftuation steadily but surely crept the Thursday which the president of the United States had chosen sf'the’annual day of thanks- gtving, and at the distance of only one short week the fact suddenly dawned upon the clustered intelligence of these two Dakota towns that there was not a turkey in the great Jim val ley north of Sloux Falls, and that 80 miles, of windswept praitie lay be- tween a more hopeful fleld of possible supply at Watertown, near the Minno- sota boundary. There {s material for a volume of adventure’ in the account of the two rival expeditions dispatched simultaneously yet with all secrecy on 2 journey of a hundred and sixty miles for fowls to furnish forth « Thanks- giving dinner, but this story must omit the details. One party returned hilart- ously successful with the three tur- keys that eloquence, strategy and mon- ey combined were able to procure in Watertown; the other, downeast, de- jected, and pessimistic, came back empty ‘handed. ‘To emphasize thelr victory the suc- cessful town announced a prize turkey shoot (at which all but Redfleld marks- men were barred), a turkey dinaer at the hotel, and a grand ball in tho ratl- road warchouse. This was calculated to make its rival, Ashton, elther swell with rage to bursting or wither away in selfabasement and-despalr. ‘The fateful day arrived, a gray day with the first flakes of snow in the A.GRACE FOR TODAY ee Ge ie Pw) Mis cit Me Fe Tg Sih Ve Hb A ee, ity SAN Ween Fa i ede CON ayer ) VOme eee TOW uy the way to ace the ord amen to oor es Ni ‘rho ‘biesings ally under mie tive us cheer alone ihe cave un conto with gold and sea sng ome dee oseese= cee TMG er what In ere Satta Satay oe thamecnees. s Sas put broaden, 100, the seat and sind eee eet il nat be. fund peat tatete at rote eaelned atone anya narra bound Lara” gia cor early sa, At 8 een to ewok and creep, alr, The prize turkey shoot came off early In the morning at Redfleld, as ad- vertised, but an unforeseen contingency resulted. A marksman of truly dia- bolical skill devetoped in a resident of two weeks’ standing, and all threo turkeys fell before hls trusty rifle, The fowls had been set up at 150 yards and with only their heads exposed to the destructive bullets. All_ participants at half a dollar for each shot had dis- played remarkable accuracy of alm, but the winner had distanced his com: petitors, and captured the shooting match. ‘The _appreenston evolved among the witnesses of thls remark. able accident soon ripened Into rebel- lous determination, What was to be done with a disloyal citizen who calm: ly announced that the turkeys would be served up at a private banquet at the Hotel Dedge, to be enjoyed by him self and two especial friends? He sald he thought a bird apleco was about thelr normal capacity, and as thres fowls certainly could not furnish a meal for 75, and somebody must go without turkey, {t would be more sat- isfactory"all around to let three lucky fellows get enough for once. At the end of a short but explosive debate the winner was immured in a freight 4 ae f car in spite of fils verbal and fistic protests, and the turkeys were haod: ed over to the hotel proprietor and his cook to be prepared for the grand public dinner, ‘The short winter day came to an ‘end and darkness fell upon the plain, hardly whitened by the snow that had melted as fast as It had fallen. Sud: denly there was great excitement and confusion at the hotel. Nothing was to be found of the cook or of the tur- keys which had been roasting for hours in the oven of the hotel range, ‘The chet had been bribed in advance by a wily Ashtonian, and with the first shades of night he had stolen away, figuratively and literally, with the turkeys already done to a turn, At Ashton all went merrily. The oyster supper began decorously, but when plates bearing small but In- dubitably genuine slices of turkey, and generous helpings of dressing flanked by quivering masses of crim: gon cranbetry jelly, were swiftly passed down the long table, a wild, exultant shout went up that lifted the roof of the frail hotel structure and shattered the silence of a Dakota night outside.

A woman sat down in the shoe department of a New York store and bade the clerk hurry. "I left a friend at the lace counter," she said, "and I want to get my shoes fitted before she gets here." The clerk apparently appreciated the circumstances. He worked fast, and in an incredibly short time the woman had selected three satisfactory pairs of shoes. "I wonder why she was so anxious to get through before her friend came," remarked another customer. "For the same reason that makes every woman want to shop alone when buying shoes', laughed the clerk. 'She has rather a large foot, and she didn't want her friend to find out what number she wears. It is seldom that the purchasers of shoes shop in pairs. They may hang together when buying anything else in the store, but when it comes to shoes each woman strikes out for herself. The only exception is the woman who has an unusually small foot. She would take her whole list of acquaintances along when buying shoes if she could." LIKE THE ORDINARY MORTAL High Church Dignitary Had Name to Sign to Check. A comical story is told of the arch bishop of York, who is an ardent fisherman. Not long ago he betook him self for a few days to a little Yorkshire village, which boasted a good trout stream, and put up at a clean but modest hotel. His grace on his arrival informed the landlord who he was, and on leaving wrote a check for his bill and handed it to his host. The landlord closely scanned the signature and asked: "What name is this?" "W. Ebor," answered his grace. "Ah," said the landlord, as he poketed the check, "I thought you were telling me a falsehood when you told me you were the archbishop of York." The man evidently did not know that an archbishop has a name like an ordinary person. Pressed Clear Through. Children have a very fair idea of what constitutes justice, and decidedly object to being punished more than they think they deserve. A bright, lit the seven-year-old committed some trifling misdemeanor and was taken to task very seriously by her mother. After listening some time in silence, Mabel said: "What makes you keep talking to me so, mama?" "Because," replied the mother, "I want to impress it upon your mind so that you won't do it again." "Well," was the response, with the faintest quiver of grief in her voice, "I think I'm 'pressed clear through now.' What could the mother do but conclude that the lesson had been sufficiently 'pressed' for the time being, and send the little caprit about her play? Why Are We So Hard? The following motto was on the wall of a woman's bedroom: "Let us take hands and help each other to daw, because we are alive together." She is a bride of a year, and that is the sentiment with which she furnished her bedroom and tries to carry out in her everyday life. The hard blow we give with a word, the mean thought or harsh judgment recolls on ourselves. No woman who is hard and critical is happy. "Take hands and help each other to day" is the sure road to contentment and happiness. Got Even with Maid. Shirley Brooks, one time editor of Punch, was noted for his whimsical humor. "It annoys me," he said, one day, "if I am discoursefully treated at the threshold of a friend's door. I remember once calling on some one and the maid, in her, rudest manner told me he was not in, and shut the door in my face. I felt I must be revenged upon her somehow, so I returned after an interval of five minutes, rang the bell, and in my meekes manner mildly said: 'Did I say he was?" Marricd Chums. "Has he any friends?" asked the judge of a prisoner in the dock. "No, only a wife," was the matter of fact reply of the witness. Rather hard on the wife not to be counted as her husband's friend, wasn't it? It is the perfection of marriage when a couple are real chums, as we lovers, just as it is the perfection of parenthood when children count mother and father their real, best friends Looking for Trouble. "Ever notice it?" queried the man who propounds questions in sections. "Did I ever notice what?" asked the party of the audience part. "That people who meet trouble hat way nearly always stand on a corne and wait for happiness to come along," concluded the installmen querist "I do in some casse," replied Tite wad.

Charles G. Dawer Good Advice to Young Men in Business This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lead a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life —first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poorer; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them Devices of Defense What could be more perfect defense than the device of the mooren?
