However, Frank was well supplied with kindling wood in the morning, if nothing else. Hallow 'een was celebrated by the boys in some instances iu a very reckless manner. When property is destroyed it is anything but amusing and shows a very bad tendency for the boys. Innocent fun anyboy can enjoy but when wiudow panes are being demolished and business signs bedaubed with mud and steps at the houses torn from their fastenings aud other property destroyed, it becomes an outrage and the villians should be punished. The Darlington, Journal says editorially of a popular patent medicine: "We know from experience that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is all that is claimed for it, as on two occasions it stopped excruciating pains and possibly saved us from an untimely grave.

We would not rest easy over night without it in the house." This remedy undoubtedly saves more pain and suffering than any other medicine in tho world.
