What is the er-umLady's Name.
"There is a freedom Of manner

ship acquaintances which almost
takes the breath away from a per-

long journey on one of the big

delightful Mediterranean trip.

about 45 or 80 years old, hale and
hearty. He was sitting on a long

the first time on the trip. We

Physicians

prescribe SCOTS Emulsion of
Cod-liver Oil and Hypophos-
phites because they find their
patients can tolerate it for a
long time, as it does not upset
the stomach nor derange the
digestion like the plain oil.
SCOTS Emulsion is as much
easier to digest than the plain
oil as milk is easier TO digest
than butter. Besides, the fish
fat taste is taken out of the oil,
and it is almost palatable. The
way sickly children, emaciated,
anem1c and consumptive adults,
gain flesh on SCOTS Emulsion
is very remarkable.

A Scientist and a Ham Bone.

n SSl0AG4SI dllu q Adh oOA0'
In the newly published life of
Sir Richard Owen occurs the fol-
lowing:
A foOtman came over from Penn
broke Lodge with a large bone
wrapped up in paper, and note
from Lord John Russell requesting
Owen to let him know to what
animal the bone belonged. The
professor looked at it, and at a
glance perceived that it was ham
bone of an ordinary pig. The de-
scription was transferred to paper,
and the footman returned to Penn
broke Lodge, leaving Owen at a
loss to understand why a ham
bone should have been sent to
him. Some days passed, and,
hearing nothing further from Lord
John, he walked over on Sunday
afternoon to ask for an explana-
ton. "The fact is" Lord John
Russell said, "President Grant
made me a present of what pur-
ported to be bears ham (Which
is considered a great delicacy,) but
as had my doubts about it | sent
you the bone"

England Advised To Wake Up.

From the London Spectator.
The rise of Japan to the first pos
itiOn among Asiatic Powers is not
only the most amazing incident OF
the half-century, but it is the one
which most directly affects the fu-
ture OF Great Britain. If the war
ends in one probable way, namely,
a subordinate alliance Of China
with Japan, we shall have in Asia
a Monaghan empire OF 4OO,OOO,OOO,
guided by men who can create
fleets as good as any in Europe,
who can organize great armies
under Prussian discipline, and who
can pursue fixed purposes Of am
bitiOn with patient concealment OF
them for twenty years-an empire
which can attack Russia and
France and Great Britain by land,
its roads into Turkestan, TOnquin,
British Burmab, and Bengal via
Sikkim or Nepall, being all open,
all known, and all indefensible
without frigthful expense and eX-
hausting additions to the per-
manent garrison. II, again, the
war ends in another probable
way, by payment Of a great in
ldemnity and a cessiOn Of Corea and
Formosa, we shall have great
naval power on the eastern edge Of
Asia elated with victory, intent on
adventure and conquest, and will
ing or perhaps even anxious, to
test its strength in naval engage
ments with some single tirst-class
European Power. And, lastly, il
the war ends in drawn game, we
shall have a most capable though
disappointed Asiatic people able to
live on low wages, devoting itself
to manufactures and ship building
in a way which may in few years
divert from Great Britain much OF
its carrying trade, now our largest
source OF profit, all our textile in.
dustry, and much of our trade, in
iron machinery and coal. Never.
theless, we English are watching
events more important to US than
any ordinary European war, with
dull and sleepy interest. Not a

them, no candidate mentions then

IBY OUR SUBURBAN RHYMSTER.
From West End Echoes.
Now send us your spring" poet to write
OF our suburbs beautiful site;
How our orchards are in bloom,
Our people on building boom,
| How the electric current roamS
| Across new wires IN new homes;
! How our private schools succeed,
! While for public one the need
! Is getting great. Then let his muse
Even cut one Of the Lake" boats loose,
And skim over our placid sheet,
With noiSelesS move and wooden feet,
! View sporting fowls of many kind,
That here their safest play grounds find,
Or stare on the large brick built pile,
That is reached by the Lake Side" Stile,
Then TO st. LOIis'" handsome home
His 'Ouiriny ewes would have to come,
And in his going 10 and fro
Could see the streams our GevSerS flow,
Not like the one from Iceland old.
OF warm flood; ours here are cold:
Or listen to our Knockers" lay
That nightingale could ne'er essay;
Nor should he miss our carpets richest
sheen,
That Blessed nature again renewed in
green.
Don't let him miss the accidental rays
OF our vernaI and length increasing days,
For never yet has Italy surpassed
Our western sun in going to his rest,
For has pen ever, in truth or candor SAID
That our sunsets are not just as great;
And to my mind, there is no cline
That ran show any as sublime,
And West End has the grandeSt OF them
all.
From early spring Till LEAVES begin to
fall"
But 90 not send poet wild.
Who could pass by lovely child,
Who would ride in MeduSa's blood,
Into sensations exciting flood,
Or lead his Pegasus aStray,
To chant a love sick minStrePS lay,
How Cupid-NenuS' child's- old dart
Flew from the bow and killed heart.
Send one of simple pen: some friend,
Who can and will rhyme up West End,
For West End, as the LIGHT well knows,
Stands never still and always grows,
Even the numbers in the orphans
Home"
Which from near and from far have come,
Its managers Of late have rather had to
ask
A help from charity, to aid them in their
task:
They ask from those who could afford to
give
A little help for unfOrtunates to live.
There may be those who, in their silky
dress.
Are partial to some poor 'fatherless,"
And yet some. kindly feeling others,
May want to help poor orphans without
mothers;
But there are those whose minds are far
TOO thin
To treat with charity the helpless child
That like Christ in the maDgel born,
Was SinleSs as Gods dew. pearled morn.
But let me not find fault with those
Who do good, as the saying goes;
I'm not here now to mOraliZe,
But to ask you, ere the spring time flies,
To give some gifted scribe the trend
To picture up our cool West End
Old San AntOnio's most inviting part
That tracts the eye, with nature and
with art;
Its AeOian music never cea SEES,
For its part of our summer breeZes
Send us man, whom nature may yet
move
BY its own beauty, not with Mammon'S
love:
Sent one who will portray the hills,
Our open plains, our flowing rillS,
Who has a mind to write, and think
if grape juice is not made to drink.

SKETCHES BY M.QUAD


AS I approached the place thought
it deserted. One corner of the log hut
sunk down, no doors or windows were
to be seen, and the space around it had
grown up to weeds and bushes. I stood
looking at the scene of desolation, when
a bareheaded, barefooted man came
out with a pipe in his mouth and sa-
1uted:
''Howdy, strangeri Won't yo' climb
down and come in?"
''But thought the place was aban-
doned, =" I replied.
Eyes; most folks think that way, but
it isn't. I'm still livin yere. -
HYou are evidently in hard luck?''

on stump, with tears filling his eyes,
81 wasn't goin to say anything about
my hard luck, but bein yo've men
stunned it I will say to yO' that few
critters hev suffered as hev. Fur seven
straight y 'ars my crops failed on me. -
''What crops?" I asked as 1 noticed
that the clearing did not comprise over
an acre in extent
"Waal, con and taters and melons
and coons and woodchucks and possums
and roots, and SO on,'' he replied.
''Luck was right agin me every time.
AFTER the crops failed the ole woman
took sick and died. "
'That was bad. :"
''Then the cabin sunk down as yo'
see it, and fur two vars I've had to
sleep with my feet higher'n my head
AFTER the cabin sunk my dawg died
Then I lost my mew1 on a mortgage
Then took sick and couldn't work fur

There was d sudden crash which
drowned his words. The big rock on the

wide, and it rushed down the steep,

deep. 1t was over in minute Then

girl with the bracelets crossed over and
picked it up and scanned its contents.
They covered period of 40 days, and
under 10 different dates were the words:
Another mash and another engage
ment today.
The summer girl with the bracelets
chuckled as she pocketed the diary and
drew out and placed her own in the
chair and walked off. She was none too
soon. The summer girl with the small
feet came flying down the veranda and
seized the book. She saw that it was
not hers. but she opened it and eagerly
glanced at the contents. Something had
been written under 40 different dates,
but it was the last entry, made only the
day before, which sent the icicle to her
heart. It read:
Another mash and another engage
ment, making 38 to date, with from five
to seven declarations due tomorrow.
