Power, of Emporia, Kau. “My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, them called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said. ’No.’ I went home and brought him my liottle and gave him one dose; told [urn to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not feel relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured.’’ Sold by Holthouse, Callow A; Co. a i

Hemorial. Margaret J. Kline, wife of Rev J. . R. Kime, ami daughter of John and Elizabeth Earle, was born in Burke county Pa.. September 11, 1845. and died at her home in Decatur Indiana, August 16. 1900. aged 54 years, 11 ' months and 5 days. Her parents were of Scotch Irish descent, and came to America in early life. Her natural grandmother was a descendent of the Irish nobility, and a strict member of the Presbyterian church. Her early years were spent in Burke county, and later in life at Knox county Ohio. For several years prior to her marriage she with her parents lived in Van Wert county Ohio. She J was united in marriage with Rev. J. Q Kline. December 25. 1869, in \an Wert county. To them were born three children. Edith M., Edgar H. and Maude, the voungest dying infancy. Edith M., wife of Elijah Sicknep of Lima Ohio, and Edgar H. of Indianapolis Ind., are living and present. She was converted in early life and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, and after her marriage joined the United Brethern church at Middlepoint Ohio. In 1882 her husband entered the regular ministery in the United Brethern church, and served the following charges: Paulding. Ohio, Pleasant Mills Ind., Lima and Elida Ohio. Saratoga, Red Key and Decatur Ind. To all these charges they moved, she cheerfully awaiting with her husband in the work of the ministry, and never complained of the hardships and privations incident to that work. Her fidelity, prayers and courage rendered it possible for her husband to undertake the work of the ministery, that otherwise would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible. As an illustration, when assigned to the Lima charge in 1885, when the church there was weak and in its infancy, and by no means inviting, her husband said to her on his ret urn from conference. "Mamma, what shall we do.” she cheerfully answered “We will go and trust the Lord, we can stay one year, we have never starved yet.” They went and the Lord blessed them, and they continued their labors there four years. Her quiet, unassuming life, won friends whereever she went. She was deeply interested in the church she so dearly loved, and for which she made sacrifices and was ever ready to contribute to the support of the church, I and entertain those who were assigned to their home during conferences and conventions. The servant of God was never sent away hungry from her home. Her last illness was somewhat brief, and rendered it impossible for her, for several days before her death, to hold a conversation. At intervals, however. during her sickness she was able jto speak, and said "hallelujah." and

Evidently the was inside the shop, without a the wag stole quickly up and. openin, the carriage door, carefully sl atnmwl ‘ to. In an Instant the coachmaa straightened himself up and gazed un the street as If he had never seen any thing more Interesting to look at In hk life. Then he stole a look over ba shoulder and saw the wag standing bat in band, apparently conversing with some one inside the carriage 5 "Thank you. yes. Good morning." said the practical Joker and b< )Wwl hfmself gracefully away from the door turning as be did so look at the coachman and say, "Home I" “Yes. sir! Tch! Get up!" and gwgJ went the brougham "home." Where that "home" was, who the mistress of the carriage was or what she did or said when she came out of the shop or what the coachman did or said when he stopped at the door of “home” and found the carriage empty —all that only the coachman ar.d the lady know.—London Tit-Bits.
