the dress and began to shako it out. A tap

when oho once more took it up it was after
she had partaken gratefully of the best

Haidee was sobbing now. Real sobs they
were too. Partly frmn Fear of the failure of
her plans, partly because of his coldness to
her, This evident clinging of his to the mem-

Jack looked at her a 11101110111 and then
said "There is 00 use of your crying,

Here is an incident from the South
—Mississippi, written in April, z89o,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. "I am a farmer, one of
, those who have to rise early and
work late, At the beginning of last.
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. ,where I got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse everyday, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon
BRAZILIAN SUM.. who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe'
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have feltmthat way , ever - since."

his head for suggesting that,, if the clergy

is to have bowling alleys and billiard rooms
in the basements of these churches, instead
of prayer meetings, and that what are called
