Scott's Emulsion
combines the best oil
with the valuable hypophosphites
so that it is
easy to digest and does
far more good than the
oil alone could. That
makes Scott's Emulsion

Dear Sir: Two years ago, Mr
Grant Smith, Erie, Pa., painted
three frame houses, and the
woodwork of a brick house.
The painter estimated ?116.50
for the paint, lead-and-oil.
He bought Devoe ?97.40 and
returned ?11.60. Saved ?31.10
oij the paint.
Don't know the cost of the
work. By the rule, the saving
of labor would be from ?60 to ?90.
On all from, ?90 to ?120.
This is the tale, as it comes
from Messrs W P Nick & Son,

CHEATED DEATH.
Kidney trouble often ends fatally,
but by choosing the right medicine,
E H Wolfe, of Pear Grove, Iowa,
cheated death. H-* says: "Two years
ago I had kiduev trouble, which
caused nie great pain, suffering and
anxiety, but I took Electric Hitters,
which effected a complete cure. I
have also found them of great benefit
in general debility and nerve
trouble, and keep them constantly
?-u hand, since, as I find, they have
..o equal." Dr W V" Brockinton,
druggist, guaiantees them at 50c.

FRIGHTFUL SUFFERING RELIEVED.
Suffering frightfully from the
virulent poisons of undigested food,
C G Grayson, of Lula, .Miss., took
Dr King's New Life Pills, "with
the result," he writes, "that I was
cured." All stomach and bowel disorders
give way to their tonic, laxative
properties. 25c at Di W V

CONDENSED "STORIES.
Why th# Tramp Got No Old Pant* at
tha Chines* Legation.
All the members of the oriental
legations, with the exception of the
Chinese, have cut their hair and
adopted conventional male attire,
says the Washington Post. The Chinese
minister and his suit still cling
to their draperies and wear upturned
shoes and four cornered hats.
A tramp who rang the bell at the
Chinese legation not long ago asked
if the gentleman of the house had a
pair of old shoes to give away.
"DOH'T WEAR 'MX," fUJD MIKE.
Mike, the Irish bhtler and tutelary
genius of the establishment, opened
j the door.
"No shoe," he said, "that would
be of any use to you. This is the
Chinese legation, man," he added,
thinking that would be sufficient explanation
for any seeker after castoff
clothing. But it signified nothing
to the tramp, who had never
heard of the Chinese legation.
"Maybe the gentleman has an old
pair of pants," he began, pursuing
his inquiries.
Michael realized the futility of
further explanation.
"Don't wear 'em," he said briefly
and closed the door.
Devil Loses Scent.
Representative Dayton of West
Virginia says that a negro preacher
in his state preaches the doctrine
that no person can be saved unless
dipped under the water. Recently
the son of Ham illustrated one of
his sermons by telling this:
"Once I was out huntin' on the
! mountains, an' I saw a great big
; buck come bookerty-book-book down
the mountain side. Dat buck was
| followed by the dogs, bow-wow-wow,
just as hard as they could clip it.
i "De buck jumped into South
! branch, swimmed across, an' de dogs
ome to de river an' barked an' barked,
but dey done loss de trail, for de
buck done loss de scent off his feet
by jumpin' in de river. Den de
dogs turn dere tails an' go back up
de mountain side.
"Jis so it am, brederen, wid us,
whites an' blacks, Dimikrats and
. 'Publicans. If we get in de water
i an' wash our 6ins erway de debil
loses scent of us an' we gits safe
home ter glory an* choses our own
musical harps to sing psalms."?
Washington Times.
The Turk's Reply.
According to President Francis,
the brightest thing said on the
grounds during the St. Louis fair
was uttered by one of the attendants
at the Turkish mosque on the Pike
when an elderly spinster fell into
conversation with him and, showing
the customary inAest in his spiritual
welfare, remapped, "I hope you
j go to church evpy Sunday like a
Christian." irmo, madam," he replied.
"I go epry day, like a Turk."
This calls J^mind the story of
the traveler in all^^mmedan country
who asked his guide if it was
safe to leave certain baggage exposed
without a guard. "Why. oJLcourse."

A Trimmer.
! Richard Olnev was attacking that
bellaose spirit which he has very
cljKrly termed the war bacillus,
in the course of his attack he
had occasion to refer to a certain
diplomat.
Wh.ile Mr. Olney was speaking a
man with bow legs passed and saluted.
"There goes Hunt," said Mr. Olney.
"A more bowlegged man never
lived than he." Then, going back
to the diplomat, he resumed:
"The trouble with this diplomat
is that he is all things to all men.
With A he is a Methodist, with B
he is a Prohibitionist, with C he is a
Presbyterian and, by Jove, with
Hunt he is Wvdegged."?Baltimore
