Chronic Bronchitis Cured. "For ten years I had chronic bronchitis so bad that at times I could not speak above a whisper," writes Mr. Joseph Coffman, of Montmorenci, Ind. "I tried all remedies available, but with no success. Fortunately my em ployer suggested that I try Fo ley's Uoney and Tar. Its effect was almost miraculous, and I am now cured of the disease.

The Sabbath school at Board yard is progressing nicely under the care of W. R. Daniels.

A fire which did quite a lot of damage, by burning fences and timber occurred on the farm of Ervin B. Fisher, now occupied by Fred Gordon, last Thursday. It caught from an engine which was used to run a sawmill. When the fire was discovered it was smaller than a half bushel, but before the sawyers could reach it, the Hames were beyond control. Help was soon obtained, aud inlessjthan an hour's time about fifty men and boys had gathered to the scene, and in a short time had it under control. The dwelling house of Ephraim Gregory, also caught tire the same day, Jonathan Keefer, who happened to be present extin guished the Hames before they had accomplished much damage. The Girl Athlete. When the young woman athlete is portrayed we generally see a com bination of Juno and Amazon, a Btahvart, not to say strapping, type made current by C. D. Gibson. As a matter of fact, in the track ath letes at Vassar last spring it was an entirely diirerent build of girl who took the lead. The feminine records for running broad jump and stand ing broad jump were both broken by a gentle, fragile looking girl who would almost be called little, but who nevertheless lifted the records to respectively 14 feet Gia inches and 7 feet 7 inches. Another rec ord breaker who did the 320 yard run in 30 3-5 seconds and the fifty yard dash in 6 3-5 seconds is slen der to the point of frailness and must weigh under 125 pounds. There were dozens of typical women athletes sitting in the grass cheer ing the events, but as a rule that was as far as they took part. The hon ors went to champions whom no seeker of the typical would have dreamed of pointing out. Every body's Magazine. . Barrio's Autobiography. James M. Barrie, the novelist, has no patience with reporters who try to pry into his private aiiairs. On one occusion he was asked to pen a short autobiography. At firs! he refused, and then, when the re porter began to coax him, he stop ped him, took up his pen and wrote as follows: "On arrival in London it was Mr. Barrio's first object to make a collection of choice cigars. Though the author of '.My Lady Nic otine' docs not himself smoke, ljis grocer's message boy does. Mr. Bar rio's pet animal is the whale. He feeds it on ripo chestnuts." Our Slang. What n difference there is between a slung word like ''fierce" and a slang word like "four flushcr!" "Four flimlier" is a tense, com put t metaphor. "Fierce" is just cant. "Fierce" ought to lie canned. "Tour fluBher" deserves to bo enshrined. Chicago Tribune. Wise words, these, betraying pro found thought and discriminating judgment.
