"When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says Frank W. I'errv, Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. "This is the honest truth, t at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon ful of this remedy* and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that-in the briefest interval the cough would pass oil' and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that, it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I bad never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and T had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."

I CLAIRYVOINT COLUMN. * THE MYSTIC VEIL PULLED ASIDE. By Mrs. R. P. Ward, J. W. H. A8K8 QUESTIONS. There was a country store burned ^ on the night of June JiOth, 1899, in r this neighborhood. Can you tell who burned it, whether white or black, or both, and how many implicated? If larceny was the intention was much or little taken out of the store ' *? 11 _ UUIUTtt lb nao uuiuvui Does the one or if more than one implicated in the burning, live near the store? J. W. H. THE ANSWER. The fire came at or near midnight; if the store was not a large building, but a moderately small one, with a mixed stock of goods therein. It was as I see it robbed of some of the contents, ere It was set on fire; the fire seems so rapid that it appears to me to be from oil, or some condition that would burn very rapidly. There is a negro that holds some knowledge M of the burning, he is a rather old ne, gr0? an(* fear has kept him silent all IK this while, yet he may at some time )f unfold what he knows of this. There are two men in the burning, a white ( or a mulatto man and one rather tall, i lanky, ugly, poorly dressed black man that took a hand in it. Some of the goods were buried for sometime after the fire; there has been many suspicions regarding this and some of them seem to be right to me. There was a good deal taken from the store. This store appears to me to be in a distant place or there has been some change made since then, Ann r\9 noff Sno 1 i vnrl nnor 5 r? o V I1U VI VilV put VIVO * ? vv* ??VM? , <u w thick, woody, damp looking place, seems like it is near water or in a low place. The old negro man that I see ?I1# with some knowledge of thejrobbery 1 lives in the same neighborhood, seems to be a little bit lame or crippled in some way; he will with a little persuasion and a promise of good treatment quite likely tell what he knows. There must have been shoes in the ;ht store as I see shoes and some folds of cloth as well as other things; these things were buried in a thick, dark place, and some of thera seem to never have been taken up yet. There must have been some one or more tires near there Since that one; I seem to see more fires; there comes to me the name John and then a great, angry flash. The man that owned the store must have been named John or had something to do with it. Pardon me, I have possibly taken up too muctv spaoe for the pleasure of our genial editor. Mrs. R. P. Ward WAWTS IP PC AfARMEfl'S WIFE. ? A Farmer's Girl Replies to the , Article in The Times of Feb. i . Entitled "Happy Fife of a Farm" er's Wife." She Takes the irk Ground That the Article Was a ce Written by one of our City Girls. >ut. * p_ Mr. Editor;?I notice in The i,le Times an article entitled "Happy ibe Life of a Farmer's Wife." The i _ '-i x. .1 . i n buwu gin wuo wrote teat was misit taken in the class of men she was writing about, when she depicted the 'es life of tho farmer's tfife, after saying .'he it was a fond dream of her's to be a ing farmer's wife. The class of men she l*h describes is not up to the average ,n? man to be found on tbe farm. Our 1 formers, as a rule, measure fully up 1 to your town men, and arc far supe- 1 aw rior to your town loafers. I say to be a farmer's wife would 1 >rc seem to me one of the greatest pleae- 1 ures upon top of God's green earth. ' ^ When you ride along the public 1 road and see the home ot tbe pro- 1 e] gressivc farmer, a well cared for 1 p'antation, with a nice, comfortable 1 dwelling house, surrounded by nice 1 shade trees and beautiful Ibwers, I 1 dare say that beneath that roof you r. would find the happiest of wives. 1 Give us what we deserve and we < will give you the same. 1 Some one said in a recent issue of int Tiie Times that he heard a dove calling. lie was not the first to ? ny hear the dove. I hoard the dove, fis, and it was a Taint, far away, mourn- j ful sound that caine to my eer, as < the call of a lover whose heart had < vn grown weary with waiting, and was j n,'1 growing cold. The dove may call ( lie its mate as the first heralding note I ey of spring. But when spring does J to come and the birds are singing in j pj[ the branches of the trees, and the j it- buds are bursting into beautiful flow- a y era on every side, then indeed it is a iiH happy life to be living on a farm, t >x The spring time is the time I most * 1 enjoy, I can gather flowers and weave t them into pretty boqueta. Everylo thing seems to have put on new life, there is a freshness everywhere that jo gives a joyous inspiration of happi* a ness to one and all. And we are ?: id glad that we live to enjoy these gifts v of nature, aad breath the pure, fresh ? air laden with the sweet perfumes of a< ! nature's garden. When we look at 01 all this we Can but feel that the beautiful spring is one of God's richest n blessings to mankind. n It is tho time of seed planting.
