HERE AND THERE.

| TOOK A 11 HEADER." j While out with the Melbourne Hunt I Club at Clyde tihe other Saturday afternoon Mr J. G. Beaver met With a pecu- : liar accident. He was giving his horse ■ a drink at a waterhole, when it slipped | and caused him to take a "header," ' The horse fell into the hole on top of :Mr Beaver, and both disappeared under tihe water. They scrambled out, however, none the worse for the experience. ( IT WOEEED WONDERS. ' "While ploughing I was seized with influenza," writes Mr M. J. McAvady, Ohura, New Zealand. "I went to bed, aud was so ill next day that I called in x the doctor. He prescribed for me, but his medicine did no good. A friend recommended me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and I did. It worked , wonders, and I was able to resume my ■ ploughing in a few days. Sold by 6.

Near the Cobden statue it collided | with a tra.nnvay-car. The foice of the J impact sent the donkey on its haunches, and there it sat gravely regarding the | ";ar till its master arrived iu a motor- ' car. j GASPING FOE BREATH. ' "Several times we nearly lost our son Bert with croup, for he was choking and gasping for breath," writes Mr P. Balmer, draper, Launeeston, Tasmania, "and I have had to get up in the night and go for a bottle of Chamberlain's , Cough Remedy. After a good dose of j this wonderful remedy there would be a marvellous difference in Bert, and I have never known one bottle to fail to completely cure him." Sold by Gv W. Hutchins, chemist, Balclutha. SENTIMENTAL JURY. Married only last year in Paris, the ! life of a workman named Celestin i Hardi, who was afflicted with a stam- ■ mer in his speech, was made a misery to him by his wife laughing at his in- ! firmity and joking about it in the pre- : sence of their friends. | This treatment so infuriated the man ; that he killed his wife by cutting her throat. The jury at his trial were so moved by the story of the insults he had to endure that they inflicted the mild punishment of six months' imprisonment. THE VEEY BEST THING. '' Some time baek I had a severe cold ! and violent cough,'' writes Mrs Grace j Harris, Ashbourne street, Woolston, j Christchurch, New Zealand. "I tried > severa so-called remedies without ob- : taining relief. Noticing an advertisej ment on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy j I purcnased a bottle and it gave me I immediate relief. I consider ChamberI lain's Cough Remedy the very best : thing I have ever come across." Sold by G. W. Hutchins, chemist, Balclutha. " NO KISSES OR SKIRTS." "2013" is the title of a Suffragette play written by Mrs Christian Hemmick and performed in Washington for the benefit of the Suffragette cause. It represents the world as she expects it to be 100 years hence, when, according to the author, kisses and skirts will long have been abandoned, when mem-! bers of both sexes will parade in Oriental trousers and when couples bent on matrimony will approach the altar ! armed 1 with personal health certificates. AFTER OTHEES FAILED. "I use Chamberlain's Pain Balm for a Bore throat, and have always found one rubbing to cure it," writes Mr T. Dennis, Hihitaki, New Zealand. "It J worked wonders when I sprained my ankle, giving me immediate relief from J pain after other liniments had failed. I also recommend Chamberlain's Pain , Balm for rheumatism, it having relieved i me many times." Sold by G. W. Hut- ! chins, chemist, Balclutha. "TAKE THAT MAN OUT." "Take that man out," shouted a woman in the audience of a West End cinema theatre lately. There was a commotion, and two of the attendants went to where the woman was sitting. She shouted, "1 smacked his face—take that man out." The attendants tried to pacify tier, but she continued shouting. It appeared that the woman, who had , two children with her, was wearing a i very large hat which a man sj-ttiiv* hind her had requ«ste{] her to remove. H? had Sskefl her twice, but the hat remained. Apparently the man made some remark which sreatly offended the woman, wiho struck him in the face. After a brief altercation the woman and her children left the building. TRIED A SAMPLE. "Some years ago I was subject to biliousness from which I could get no relief," says Mr.W. G. Miller, grocer, Lindfield, New South Wales. "I was given a sample of Chamberlain's Tablets, and in a few hours after taking them all traces of biliousness were completely gone. Whenever there has been a recurrence of the trouble I have got immediate relief from Chamberlain ?s Tablets." Sold fcy G. W. Hutchins, chemist, Balclutha. BOY SCOUT NIGHT WATCH. A night watch of Boy Scouts is a noval feature of Wymondha.ni, in Norfolk. They do not call out, "Ten o'clock I and a fine night" like the watchmen who preceded the modern police, but ' I they carry Chinese lanterns. , [ It was decided at a parish meeting some time ago that a lighting rate of 7d in the pound was too high and that not ' more than a sixpenny rate must b§ incurred. The town is therefore plunged in darkness at an early hour save for j the fitful gleams of the boys' lanterns as ' | they light the inhabitants to their j homes or guide travellers as they pass through the town to or from Norwich. 1 Some residents put candles in their • fromt windows to light wanderers home.
