Prof. H. A. Howell of Havana, Cuba, Recommends Chamberlain’s Cough Cure.

"As long ago as I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, but never in my life have ,1 realized its true value until now,” writes Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howell’s American School, Havana, Cuba. “On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very severe cold; the next day was worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not lie down and It was necessary to have him in the arms every moment Even then his breathing was difficult I did not think he would live until morning. At last I thought of my mother’s remedy, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded promp relief, and now three days later, he has fully recovered. Under the circumstances I Would not hesitate a moment in saying that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and that only, saved the life of our dear little boy.” For sale by B. F. Fendig. c Henry E. Agar, the alleged wrecker of the Princeton Elevator Co., and a former well known member of the state legislature, is now on trial at Princeton, Ind. Agar mysteriously disappeared some two or three years ago and left the impression that he had been drowned, and his wife collected some of his life insurance by a judgment of the teourts. He was later found in Texas, arrested and returned to Princeton. The jury that will try him is composed of fanners.

Kidnaped Whitla Boy Recovered at Cleveland.

The country has been greatly excited for the past few days over the kidnaping at Sharon, Pa., last Thursday morning of Willie Whitla, son of a prosperous lawyer. The kidnapers went to the school house and called the janitor, telling him that Willie was wanted at once by his father. The teacher, excused the boy and the men, two in number, took him in a buggy to Warren, Pa., and then into a street car. The parents did not learn of the affair until the boy did not return home at noon. They inquired of the teacher and found that he had been called out on pretense of being taken to his father. At 2 o’clock that afternoon the parents received a letter stating that the boy had been kidnaped and was being held for SIO,OOO ransom. Negotiations were entered into and the police and detectives set a trap to catch the kidnapers, but it failed. Other letters were sent to Whitla and it was evident that the kidnapers did not propose to be entrapped.

Whitla was more than anxious to comply with the demand, and the restoration of his son was dearer to him than anything else. He was ready to pay the money and when a proposition came from the kidnapers for him to meet their representative a woman, alone in Cleveland, he prevailed on the detective to let him alone. He went to Cleveland and it is supposed met the woman and paid the money. The kidnapers kept faith with him and sent the little boy, who is 8 years of age, to the hotel where his father was stopping in Cleveland. The boy was placed on a street, car in the suburbs some place, and given transportation. On the car two t young men who had seen the boy’s picture recognized him and went with him to the hotel. The father was there waiting for him. Detectives are now working on the case and if captured the kidnapers will get the limit for the crime. The little boy’s own story of his treatment will be interesting and is here published: Willie Whitla’s own story of his experience with the kidnapers was told to his father and newspaper men at Cleveland Monday night. "Papa," said the little boy in a tone of childish'prattle, “I have been buggy riding, been on cars and in a nice big white house that looked like a hospital. I have been treated nice and had lots of good things to eat. "One man, tall, with a black mustache, came to the schoolhouse Thursday and told my teacher, Mrs. Anna Lewis, that you wanted me at your office. I went out to a buggy with him. I got in and then we rode away. On the way downtown he asked me to address a letter to you. I did this and then dropped it into a mail box. He was awfully kind.

“We went from Sharon to Warren. Wo bad the nicest trip. The man, who was the same one who brought me to the car line tonight, was nice to me. He tucked the robe about my legs and made me comfortable. It was a nice ride and I enjoyed it. Gee! he was good. “When we got to a place the man said was Warren the man left the buggy in the road. Then we got on what I think was an electric car. I don’t just remember what it was, but

it was something like a street car. I don’t know what became of the horse and buggy. I was sleepy when he got on the car and I slept much of the way to the place where we were going. “When we got to a town that .the man called Newcastle they took me to a big building and turned me over to a woman. She was good to me. The hospital, or whatever the building was, was a clean place. There was a man there who I think was a doctor. He looked like a doctor, because he had whiskers—short, gray whiskers. “The people in the hospital told me that I must do just what they told me to do. If I did not obey them they said they would take me to a place called the pesthouse, where folks that have smallpox have to go. It was not a clean or pretty place to go, they told me. I would have been good anyhow, but when I thought there was any chance of having to go to the pesthouse I did not do a thing that I shouldn’t have done. I walked the chalk just like a good boy, papa, like you’ve told me to do. “On Saturday night I was taken away from the hospital and I think we went to a town called Ashtabula. We traveled in a buggy and on foot. Early in the morning we went back to the hospital, I heard one of the men say: ‘There will be nothing doing tonight, I guess.’ - “I might have been right here in Cleveland, though, papa, for some of the town that I saw tonight on the car looked like the place we went to Saturday night. “They told me all along that I was just taking a little vacation. I was not going to be hurt, they told me. So I just acted nice and had a good time playing around the hospital. I knew I would get back home all right and just supposed ‘Mr. Jones’ was one of my friends who was treating me nice because you wanted him to treat me that way, papa dear.”

For Diseases of the Skin.

Nearly all diseases of the skin such as eczema, tetter, dalt rheum and barbers’ itch, are characterized by an intense itching and smarting, which often makes life a burden and disturbs sleep and rest. Quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain’s Salve. It allays the itching and smarting almost Instantly. Many cases have been cured by its use. For sale by B. F» Fendlg. c The other night, at the opera house in Logansport, a paid speaker for the “wets” asked, “What will the brewery men, the drivers, the bartenders, the saloon proprietors and their families do when your town goes "dry?” A lady in the audience rose and said, “I have washed for twenty years to support a family and educate three children and a drunken husband; they can have my job.” Several murders have occurred in Indianapolis recently. The worst was the murder of an old lady by four young men, who fobbed her of >7.50, which they divided among themselves. All were arrested and confessed to the crime. A negro from Chicago shot and killed a white man whom he had never seen a few evenings ago. He was Intoxicated and stated that he belonged to a society that required murder of its members before they could get married. The third murder occurred Thursday evening, a bar tender named Law killing a man named Monaghan.

CHILDREN ANDRCHOOLLUNCHEB If your children cannot return home for noonday luncheon, let them go to a restaurant, or provide a good luncheon. Children with fickle appetites are more apt to play than eat during the noontime, Jthen eat too much for evening dinner. Eating too heartily at night Is not good for a child engaged almost wholly In mental duties. If the luncheon is tempting, It Is more liable to be eaten. It is said- nothing tempts the childish appetite more than raisins, and children will nibble at them when other fruits are let alone. They are highly nutritious and can be eaten raw or cooked in bread. If boiled eggs are included In the luncheon, they should cook at least twenty minutes, otherwise the yolks are indigestible. Good cheese Is nutritious, tbough it should be as sparingly used as meat, for only people engaged in muscular duties demand such heavy food. Bananas are healthful, but oranges are not considered so for luncheon, being a breakfast fruit It is claimed that apples cause headache, because children with weak stomachs eat' apples that contain an acid, which often causes violent spells of headache. Again, children who hive good digestion are benefited by eating them. It is for parents to know what foods agree with the children, for what may be nourishing to one child might prove injurious to another. The chocolate girl, or the one who indulges in crackers and pickles for the noonday luncheon, is a sight to behold, for a worse pimpled face is difficult to find. The penny candy shops do a thriving business when the school opens and they are frequented when the luncheon box fails to meet the demands of a hungry or fickle appetite. If the health of school children is to be considered, then must the luncheon box or basket be carefully prepared. It does not call for much, but it does call for the very best. The best brain workers in the school room are children carefully and sensibly fed; laggards are found among the poorly fed ones. Studying with a half-starved or overfed stomach is like praying with cold feet, both liable to get woefully sidetracked. s

Being Frank.

Have you ever heard a person making his or her boast that he or she would keep certain facts from certain persons? We all have, and to a great extent we all practice the,bit of deception. But when largely carried out, mischievously, done, there is no end to the trouble it brings. The faculty for concealment, as "secretiveness,” as the phrenologists term it, is a dangerous gift. Openness and candor are delightful. When we discover that a friend has deceived or only half-trusted us, we regard him ever after with suspicion, and it requires a very long time for him to recover the ground he nas lost in our cpnfidence and esteem. 'Nothing has a worse result in the home than mysteriousness in trifles, which so often lead to quarrels, tragedies and sensational scandals. Friends are often separated by the lack of frankness in s*ome trifling event easily explained, if it needed to be, yet secretly kept. Children who begin these trifles at home are those who are discouraged and fear to be frank, and for this very reason children deceive parents because they realize they cannot go to them and confess little faults and the like because it would mean punishment of the worst kind, and something even worse, the lack of sympathy. The girl who can sit down on a low ottoman at her mother’s knee, open her letters and read them aloud, discuss her love affairs as freely as she ever discussed her school life events, is the girl who will grow to be a frank, honest woman. She may not be openly frank, but she will not be possessed of a hidden nature which always makes her a suspicious person among friends.

Short Notes.

Strings of passementerie knots appear on many new garments. Velvet girdles lined with satin are made to wear with velvet directoire gowns. Corded silks are used for making the semi-princess dress, with material cut on the bias for trimming. Plcot-edged lace appears as trimming upon silks and satins. Tassels attached to crochet rings are found upon nobby street suits. The long motor coat for fall wear shows a row of tiny buttons from the collar to the cuffs, though not one appears where buttons rightfully belong, or, if there are any in use, they are hidden with the front plait. Bulgarian embroidery was found upon a dress of white satin. The narrow red satin cravat is worn with the tailored white linen waist. Plaids In warm, dull colors abound in street waists for early fall wear. A little French dress in the directoire mode showed the upper half of the coat literally trimmed with lace, and the tiniest band imaginable decorated the lower edge, leaving the skirt wholly untrimmed. Lace insertion edged the sides and lower half of pockets, placed low upon the coat skirt, and two small lace buttons wefe attached to the center of each pocket. Buttons of similar kind decorated the very narrow vest. i — Petroleum ointment stains are obstinate, and the best’ thing for them is to soak them in kerosene.
