Major C. T. Piotou is manager of the ocate tiotel at Denlsou, Texas, which the traveling men say is one of the best hotels in that section. In speaking of Chamberlain's Oolto, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, Major Pioton says : "I have used it myself and in my family -^for several years, and take pleasure in saying thatel consider it an infallible care for diarrhoea and dysentery. I always recommend it, and have fre- i qnently administered it to my quests 1 ? in the hotel, and in every case it has i proven itself worthy of unqualified en- ' dorsement." For sale by all druggists, i Engaged Ones In Society. An engaged girl may receive her future husband alone In her mother's drawing room, though it is requisite fit I some time during this daily visit after a considerate cough outside the portieres, or preliminary rattling of a door knob for the maternal dignity to hover a moment on the threshold. Oat of consideration of her lover's feelings she does not receive her young men friends save on her -4 ' . unj ?b UUUH. She acoepts no invitations, exoept to gatherings of her own sex, where he Is not inoladed and devotes every attention to his family, with peonliar conrtes'es to his parents. It is considered most important that together they attend ehnrch at least ODce every Snnday. They may drive, walk and bicycle alone, bat mast take an obligiog younger menber of the family along to the theater, opera and concerts. It is permitted them to go to a dinner party with only her maid's company, yet to a ball an older woman relative is the proper companion, and auy demonstrations of affection is public are utterly disoountenanoed. Discussion has raged high at times on the question of jutt what part an engaged pair have a right to take in the frivo<it'e9 of society, and of late it has been satisfactorily decided that when attending a dancing party the happy coaple should take a few turns together in a round dance, with partners of tneir own choosing, end then talr? thai* leave. Ah to the exchange of Rifts between these young people a new and very sensible dec'slon has been reached respecting their proper t estowal and value. The engagement ring may b6 as splendid or simple affair as the man's taste aud pocket can afford, while in exchange may be given a thin dish of ivory on which is painted a fair faoe, shut into a red leather, heart rbaped ou>e. This esse is just large enough to fit nictly into an inside waietooat pocket end closes with a look, of which only toe owner knows the spriDg. Daring the weeks of engagement an abundance of flowerB, fruit, books, bonbons and odds end ends of brio-a-brao are tokens proper to lay on the shrine of love, but not until the week before the wedding ought jewels to he given, for beyond her engagement ring none of them can be used by the reoipient, aud in case of any rupture of the agreement the return of aaah gifts is an awkward I duty.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. t ho ralVThaii^HtBiSyirackcd Will B ml* r~ DHHHiaflm violate a law, human or divine, h^tth'$' little deeds and eoarsts of comMtfjl that are almost and yet not qamQ violation, are as easy as the spirUgbpv^ takes refuge in them are oowardlyTThe life of many professors of i^UbJob Is scored with the subtle fraottltvs that result from little sins, like* tampers, little act* of lnsineerity and telflshness. It is possible te craek a costly vase so flinely that it eannot be notioed by the closest scrutiny; but let this be done again and again in different directions, end.some day the vessel will suddenly fall to pieces at a touoh, and without a sound. When we hear of kaome one who has had a lifelong reputation for good character and consistent living suddenly falling into shameful sin, we are uooaea ana scandalized, and puzzled. If we knew all, we should find that the fall has pnly been sadden in Its in inlfestations; right away back In the life there are a thousand "craoked" Commandments, and the final public exposure is bat the falliag of the vase to pleoes, whose beauty has long been a lie and pretenoe. This is unquestionably the prime lesson we should learn from the exposure and punishment of Jabez Balfour. His fall, at the time when the "Liberator" exposures took place, was a problem to many. We now see the meaning of It all. By reading the evidence at the trial just cooolnded, we can see how bis career was a slow but sure descent into evil; one fraud leading to another insensibly, till at last the edifice of wrong which he had reared with such amazing skill, toppled over like a castle of nerds. He cracked one and another of the Commandments, and at last be broke thnin. * uiouo uiuem ureaK them and they Involved one another in a common rnin and shame, which ha* 1 now been brought home.?London ' Christian. i An leeing for oak* that will be found , inexpensive and good, may be made by taking three tablespoonfuls of milk ] and letting it oome to a boil.
