Lake City (Fla.)'Indvx. "Gol durn it, Lott Johnson, don't yer know no bctter'n to run a blame steam engine up the street," was the greeting given an enter prising citizen of Lake City who decided to invest in a horseless carriage and put oil airs. And then the way folks lit out in a streak behind him as he "cavorted" up town from his iron work; and put his steed in the stable. And thereby hangs a tale. It ought to mobile, but didn't.

But comii back was to be another story, as the "best laid plans of mic, and mii gang aft aglee." With banners streaming and en gine pumping, on the day belore Christmas, the quartette started out. After getting about four or five miles from town, with Boozer and Martin sitting on the rear seat, the latter observed, "This place is getting-warm, Johnson," and investigation developed the fact that water was running powerful low ill the tank, in fact there was none there at all, but there was a well lard-by and near a school-house, from which they filled Lii) V.:h the needed aqua pura. TPhen for the hunt. All day long they, shot and at nightfall counted six quail. The law allowed them forty-four more, but these were non est comeatabus.

We began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable reri edy for colds and croup, we have neCer been without it in the house since that tinc. We have five children and have given it to all of them with good results. One good feature of this remedy is t h t it is not disagneeable to t.ake and our babies really like it. Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an overdose. I congratu late you upon the success of your rem edy. " For sale by Smith brug Co..
