A SURE CURE FOR CROUP.
Twenty-live Yean' Constant Uso Without a
Failure.
Tho first indication of croup is
hoarseness, nnd in a child subjeot to
that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of the approach of an at'
tack. Following this hoarseness Is
a peculiar rough cough. If Cham-
berlaln's Cough Remedy is given bb
soou as tho child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears,
It will prevent tho attack. It is usod
in many thousands of homes in this
broad land and never disappoints the
anxious mothers. Wo have yot to
learn a single instance In which It
has not proved effectual. No othor
preparation can show suoh a record

which find their way Into pilot In ap

plotter of tho century. Probably not

hns any foundation In fact, but any
thing mysterious about this wonderful
man finds ready credence. Ho lecclves
from tho Transvaal government some
thing like JSO.OOO a year, and what bo

give something for nothing, and the

final examination In the go crauieut

ho Is universally known.

of the South Afrlcau Ilepubllc When
In Holland. Mr. Kruger offered tho at
torney generalship of his republic to
Professor Moltzer of Amsterdaii, who
declined, but iccommended Lcyds, and
the latter soon found himself Installed
as tho legal light of tho Transvaal and
Its' people. In 1SSS I.ojds was pro
moted to the state secretaryship, an
office of which thp holder Is elected ev
ery four years by 'the volksra.id. After
the expiration of his second term In
1600 he w.ib sent abroad as Duropcan
representative.
Tho secret service of the Transvaal
Is an extensive affair, and to Its thor
oughness Is due the foreknowledge
which headed oft the Jameson raid
and succeeded for years In foiling ev
ery scheme of the ultlanders. In fact.
It looks as If tho Innermost secrets of
tho British ministry had been made
known to tho Boer leaders through
fome ngency not yet Identified. In the
Boer scciet service there are of course
many employees, and tho system of
shadowing and counter shadowing Is
elaborate nnd efficient Every agent
receives his pay thiough an Interme
diary channel, so that no traitor could
possibly disclose anything beyond his
own personal opinions.
It Is not nn easy thing to become a
Tiansvaal secret agent. Tho ante
cedents of each applicant are carefully
looked up and his motives and ambi
tions Investigated. If accepted, ho is
put at work ou probation for nine
months, during which tlmo be is care
fully watched. Ills salary ranges from
3 to flO a week, with a contingent
bonus at the explratjon of his term. If
satisfactory reports aro sent to head
quarters regarding his trustworthi
ness and abilities, the novice, at the
completion of tho nine months, Is
sworn to secrecy and acquainted with
the moro Important branches of the
service. Ho Is then engaged for a
period of two years at a monthly sal
ary of from f3o to 50, with all travel
ing expenses. If be has to make long
Journeys to tho continent or olscwhere,
tho salary is considerably Increased.
The Transvaal recognizes the value of
Incidental expenses In connection with
secret servlco work, and the manner in
which the secret agents get rid of
money In European capitals would be a
revelation to tho simple Boers who con
stitute the backbone of tho republic.
However, It Is not In Boer nature to
criticise tho means If the ends are sat

The girls who have complalaed In
various keys because they had dishes
to wash may be glad to hear of a
young man who can look at the mat'

wanted to save as much as possible oa

the story sounds better In bis own

awakened and told to go to work. I
hastily dressed, for the first and last
time on board, for during the rest of
the voj age I took care not to undress.
ItEeemed scarcely worth while. I ar
rived on deck and found tho steward
waiting for me. He showed me Into
the pantry, Introduced mo to 'Pants,'
as tho pantryman was called, and told
me that my chief duty during the voy

Destroying the Io!nt.
Every ono knows tho man who Is
notorious for so telling a story as to
destroy Its polut An English noble
man, Lord P., was noted for his suc
cess In thus ruining the prosperity ot
a story. Tho author of "Collections
and Recollections" exhibits a specimen
of his lordship's peculiar art.
Thirty years ago two largo houses
were built at Albert Gate, London, the
slzo and cost of which seemed likely to
prohibit tenants froqt hiring them. A
wag christened tbem "JIalta and Gib
raltar because they can never be
taken."
Lord P. thought this an excellent
Joke and ran round the town, saying to
every filend he met:
"I say, do you know w hat they call
those houses at "Albert flite? They
call them Malta nnd Gibraltar because
they can never let them. Isn't It aw
fully good?"
Some ono told Lord P. tho old rid
dle, "Why was tho elephant tho last
anlnml to get Into tho nrk?" to which
the answer Is, "Because he had to pack
his trunk."
Lord P. asked the riddle of the next
.friend he met and gave as tho answer,
"Because he had to pack his portman
teau." LOVE ON THE FARM.

And, giving her so artichoke,
Devoured her with tie cyra.
