walked from there to Smethport to
join. Two men had signed the roll of
enlistment before he did, but the other
two failed to qualify, so in reatity, he
was No. lin that historical roster. He
was in the war three years and three
months, and although he did his share
of the fighting the bullets of the op
position never touched him. He is still
a well preserved active man.—Eldred

The Marriage Knot.
Few of those who talk about tt>*
"marriage knot" realize that the ko»t
was ever anything more than a mere
figure of speech. Among the Babylo
nians tying the knot was part of the
marriage ceremony. There the priest
took a thread of the garment of the
bride and another from that of the
bridegroom and tied them Into a knot,
which he gave to the bride, thus sym
bolizing the binding nature of tho uo
lon.

In a volume on the snakes of Egypt
Hlppolyte Boussac states that the In

changing a snake Into a rod Is still
practiced by the snake charmers. They
touch the snake at a certain place In
the neck, when It falls Into a cataleptic
condition and becomes straight and
stiff. It Is then restored to Its former
condition by taking Its tail between the
hands and firmly rolling.

WILL GIVE GUARANTEE BOND.
L. Taggart Qlves Signed Agreement that ni-o
na Cost* Nothing Unless it Cures.
Mi-o-na, the remarkable flesh forming
food and cure for dyspepsia, has won im
mense popularity by the unusual way in
which it is sold.
With evary 50c box of Mi-o-na, L.
Taggart gives the following signed guar
antee bond, assuring the purchaser that
Mi-o na costs absolutely nothing unless it
increases flesh, cures all stomach traubles
and restores health.
GUARANTEE BOND.
I hereby agree to refund the price
' paid for Mi-o-na if the purchaser
telle me that it has not increased
j flesh and given freedom from sto-
I mach troubles.
L. Taqoart.
This guarantee bond is plain and sim
ple and it positively assures you that when
you commence the Mi-o-na treatment you
run absolutely no risk. You simply de
posit 50c for a box of this flesh-forming
food with L. Taggart aud if after using
it you do not feel that you have been ben
efited, you go back to his store and he
will return your money without any ques
tion or argument.
It is a true flesh forming food confined
with elements that regulate the digestive
organs and remove congestion and irrita
tion the stomach, liver and intes
tines. Mi-o-na will restore firm, healthy
flesh, fill in the outlines, and give a pleas
ing plumpness and sjmmetry.
Begin its use to-day with L. Taggart's
guarantee to return the money if Mi-o-na
does not do all that is claimed for it.

School Report.
, Tutal pupils registered 719
I Number in attendance during m0nth....699

I Percentage of attendance 95%
j Number present every day 419
I Number of pupils tardy 75
| Number of pupils sick 51
j Number of visits to schools by patrons.elc. 51
Compared with the preceding month
there is an increase of 23 in the aver
age daily attendance and of 57 in the
number attending every day of the
month.
In comparison with the second or cor
responding month of last year, the to
tal enrollment has increased 29, the
average daily attendance by 111, the
percentage of attendance by 21 per
cent, and the number who attended
every day of the month by 111. In
this last item the record for the month
just past is the best made in tho last
two years. The attendance, therefore,
has been above the average.
The following schools have made a
record in attendance of 95 per cent, or
over: Miss Barker's, 98; Miss Ludlam's
97 J; High School and Miss Metzger's,
97; Miss Bair's and Miss Maxwell's, 90;
Miss Gregory's, 95A; Miss Larrabee's,
Miss Cumming'rf and Miss McQuay's,
95.
The work (lone in the schools shows
the same gratifying progress noted 111
the attendance, and is such as to merit
the cordial support and co operatiou of
every parent. 54 visitors are credited
in the report, but the actual number of
separate visitors is much smaller.
Several of the directors visited all the
schools and were reported from each
school visited. This means that very
few patrons have found their way into
the schools to see for themselves what
kind of work is being done. All par
ents are cordially invited to come.
The following pupils have made a
record of 95 or more per cent in schol
arship, attendance and deportment
combined:

New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
Mr. Arthur Chapman writiig from
Durban, Natal, South Alrica, says: As
a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is a cure suitable for old and young,
I pen jou the following: A neighbor of
mine had a child just over two months
old. It had a very bad cough and the
parents did not know what to give it. I
suggested that if they would get a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and nut
some upon the dummy teat the baby was
sucking it would no doubt cure the child.
This they did and brought about a
quick relief and cured the baby. This
remedy is for sale by L. Taggart.
