Rub the price mark off the present un less it is an expensive one. Don't ask your child what be wants unless you intend to give it to him. If you wish to surprise your girl never ask her what she would like for Christ- las. Don't bny your beet girl a present on the installment plan, as she might jilt you before you had made all the pay­ ments. .

The social given at Mr. Paddock's last Friday evening was a grand success. There were, as nearly as we could tell, 125 present ranging all the way from two to sixty-five years of age. The gold­ en curls of the little child mingling with the silvery locks of the aged, as they played together in childish glee, caused one to forget worldly troubles and for the hour again become the smiling youth of yore.

Nowhere else can be seen such centres of enterprise and American vim as in Chicago or Kansas City, and few invite lovers of elegance and beauty like St. Louis. In going further into the ,'Great West" there are various routes the tourist may select, but supposing the start is made from Chicago the great starting point of western travel, no line can be found more desirable than the Chicago & Alton, the great "Three Link" route, and its unsurpassed connections. Elegant cars, courteous train men,a first class track, and every convenience that modern railroading employs is here found for safety and comfort. The coun­ try traversed is unexcelled for beauty of scenery--the vertible garden of the conti­ nent. * Be sure and secure tickets of the Chicago ft Alton if you would have a pleasant journey. W® want every mother to know that croup can be prevented. True croup never appears without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child appears to have taken a cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarse­ ness from the start. After that a pecu­ liar cough is developed, which is followed by the croup, The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared the disease may be prevented by nsing this remedy as directed. It has never been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent an<| $1,00 bottles for sale by QrW. Besley.
