THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG Ee ee E / HER CHILDREN 4AD THE HUMAN Z00 By C. D. Batchelor WHOOP ING COUGH Copyright, 13924, by Public ws . - _ This is one of the most dangerous diseages of children. It starts with fever and cough. The cough is at first short and sharp, but gradually increases in severity and occurs in sudden spasms, vomiting follows, and - sometimes there is nose hleed; the child turns livid in the face, the eyes appear .asvif they would burst from their sockets, and suffocation seems . imminent till relief is brought on by the "whoop." Dr. Wood's Norway /Pine' Syrup will clear the bronchial tubes of the collected mucous and phlegm and in this way ease the racking cough, and in a short time make it disappear. Mrs. L. Ambrose, Sarnia, Ont. Writes: --"My little ones were both sick with whooping cough. I read where Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup was good, and I only used two bottles and they were better. I had chronic bronchitis for three years and tried everything until. finally, I got 'Dr. Wood's." I would not be without this remedy."

Right on the main line of the C.P.R, at Moose- Jaw, a band of painted savages had held a war dance, and, after plun- dering the stores, driven the settlers to seek refuge in the C.P.R. dining room. At Frog Lake Big Bear and his brave had murdered Indian Agent Quinn and other white men, thrown their mutilated bodies into the flames of the burning houses and held a three days' dance in celebra- tion. The red demons had even massacred the two Catholic priests, Fathers Farrard and Marchand, who vainly tried to'save their flocks. A wire from Minnedosa stated that the Indians had threatened to burn that town. Brandon folk went ahout walked right into a trap. Suddenly, as the soldiers moved up the slope of one of the numerous brush- crowned hills in the neighborhood, the advance fringe of scouts was seen to fall back and take cover. In another 'instant the redmen hidden in trenches and behind brush, open- ed a deadly fire from all sides into the exposed troops. Despite their ar- tillery support, the Queen's Own had to retire.

At Fort Pitt on the Saskatchewan, Capt. Francis Dickens, son of the great novelist, had been attacked by Big Bear and a seething horde of warriors. Dickens and his red coat Mounties; refusing to surrender, beat the enemy off after a stiff fight, and then, destroying stores and ammuni- tion, evacuated the fort and retreat- ed down the river. Major Crosler, with 80 Mounted Policemen and some Prince Albert volunteers, tried to save the government supplies at Duck Lake. Buf Gabriel Dumont, the buffalo hunter, Riel's first lieutenant, ambushed them, and Crozier had to retre wounded. Prince Albert, barr: caded with ramparts of cordwood, was surrounded by Indians, and mo- «| mentarily' expected an onslaught. | Col," Irvine," of the Mounted Police, had been compelled to abandon and burn Fort Carleton. A brief mes 'sage to Toronto from Battleford re- lated that the few settlers from the surrounding country, had taken re- fuge beside the fort, whose 12-foot stockade and little garrison of Moun- ties stood between them and nearly 8,000 Indians. The bravery of the red coats and the discharge of the single little 7-pounder cannon was all that held Chief Poundmaker in awe, ; »~Troops went to war in those days .|in all the glory of scarlet and pipe clay.
