Fifty.nine Years a Queen

Fifty-nine years a queen, and her sub.

for a much further continuance of her

SHOULD THEY FIGHT?
Not England and the United
States.
Timely Reinforcements in the
Battle for Existence.

Timely Reinforcements in the
Battle for Existence.
Perhaps you have an answer for us
to this question all ready. And per-
haps we may disagree with you.
Listen to our side of the story. Is it
not terrible warfare which sweeps
from the face of the earth one-third of
all children under five years of age?
Yet this is the history of the great
struggle In which we are all engaged
the battle of life. Some children yield
at the first approach of disease, while
others make grand struggle for exist
ence. In this sense, then, we are all
agreed that children should be good
fighters. They can best fight disease
when they are hearty and strong.
We do not mean simply when they are
fat. Fat is not muscle. They need
strong bones, sound nerves and firm
muscles. The natural food for all in
fants is milk. The fat of this food,
the cream, exists in the milk as minute
globules, resembling in this respect
the minute globules of fat found In
Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites. There is also min
eral matter in milk, and it is in Scott's
Emulsion as well. This preparation
looks like milk, and children soon be-
come fond of it. So many infants and
young children do not appear to derive
much benefit from their food. They
remain extremely thin, weak, do not in
crease in weight or height. They seem
to have some disease which is actually
wasting the body away. Their system
calls for food, and yet the food does
not nourish them. But food they must
have. They also need some remedy
which will alter or change the action
Of the organs of the body to healthy
activity. There are remedies which
naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable of making this change.
For this reason they are called "alter-
atives." The hypophosphites are also
of service, as they strengthen the
nervous system, which is the great
seat of power. The poorly nournished
body calls for fatty food, such as the
fat of cod-liver oil. These are the
reasons why Scott's Emulsion has
proved so valuable to children. 1t re-
stores healthy action. It feeds. It
nourishes. 1t supplies needed material
to the growing body. We cannot state
too strongly the Importance of these
few early years to future health and
happiness. Children do not seem to
bear raw cod-liver oil well. 1t is SO
difficult to digest. But the oil in
Scott's Emulsion has already been
digested, and is, therefore, in condi-
tion to render prompt aid.
Scott's Emulsion ca,As2ins more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver OIL than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being a perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor.

and it was said that once, when Orvay
came to spy out the land, she kept him
so amused by her quaint tales and eX-
cellent wit. that he sat in the doorway
gossiping with her while around q
little point Tarboe and two others un-
loaded and safely hid away cargo of
liquors from the Ninety-nine. And
one of the men, as cheerful of spirit
as Joan herself, undertook to carry a
little kcg of brandy into the house,
under the very nose of the young in
spector, who had sought to signalize
his appointment by the detection and
arrest of Tarboe single-handed. But he
had never met either Tarboc or Tar
boe's daughter when he made his boast
to himself. If his superiors had known
that Loce Bissonnette, Tarboe's io-
vial lieutenant, had carried the keg
of brandy into the house in water
pail, not fifteen feet from where La
farge sat with Joan, they might have
asked for his resignation. But they
were not there, and that is one of the
things a man never tells on himself.
True, the deception was cleverly done,
for Bissonnette made the water spill
very naturally against his leg, and
when he turned to Joan and said in a
crusty way that he didn't care if he
spilled all the water in the pail, he
looked so like an unwilling water
carrier that Joan for one little moment
did not guess. But when she under
stood, she laughed till the tears stood
in her eyes, and presently because La
farge seemed hurt, gave him to under
stand that he must stand upon his
honor if she told him what it was. He
consenting, she, still laughing, asked
him into the house, and then drew the
tiny keg from the pail, before his eyes,
and, tapping it, gave him some liquor,
which he had humor enough to accept
without churlishness. He found moth
ing in this to lessen her in his eyes, for
he knew that women have no civic
virtues, be they of low or high degree,
and that those with faces like Saint
Elizabeth will smugglc, though it be
laces, jewelry and such like things,
and not wine that would grace
kings table, or brandy that would
gild bishops halo.
So Orvay Lafarge drank to their
better acquaintance, and with fewer
compunctions than his general char
acter might warrant, matter not to
be thought upon as scandalous, for
there is nothing like witty woman tc

turn a mans head, and there was not
SO much at stake after all. Tarboe had
gone on for many year, and many
had gone on many year before Tar
Doe in the same lawless way, till it al
most seemed like the romance of law
rather than its breach; and it was not
in Lafarge's heart to do as did those
guests with that famous host, when
They ate his mutton. drank his wine,
And then they poked his eye out.
And, indeed, this was the very stave
that was in Lafarge's mouth when he
started away well before sundown to-
wards the little inn of the parish, fol-
lowed by the gay speedings of Joan
Tarboe, who had warmed his heart as
finely as it had been warmed since he
came into the world. In truth, it is
safe to say that he was less sincere
if not less blameless customs officer
from this time forth-for humor on q
woman's lips is potent thing, as any
man knows that has heard it, or kissed
it off in laughter.
But, as we said, Tarboe lay rocking
in blight at Anticosti with an empty
hold and scanty larder. Still he was
in no ill-humor, for he smoked much
and talked more than common. Per-
haps that was because Joan was with
him-an unusual thing, for she seldom
went out with him, and not of late
years on so long cruise as this. She
was as good sailor as her father, but
she did not care, nor did he, to have
her mixed up with him in his SNUG
Cling, as indeed she never had been di-
rectly; and, SO far as she knew, she
had never been on board the Ninety
nine when it carried smuggled cargo.
She had not broken the letter of the
law. Her father, on asking her to
come on this cruise, had said that it
was pleasure trip, and that there
would only be enough liquor aboard,
from first to last, ''to kill the animal
culae" In the drinking water.
Ihe pleasure had not been remark
able, though there had been no bad
weather. The coast of Anticosti is

played the concertina with a passing
sweetness, and sang as little like a
wicked smuggler as one might think.
But there were boundaries even to
that, as there were to his love making,
which was, however, so interviewer

Charlotte Monroe's Resort Burned
 Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning at o'clock Off, cers Steve Bailey and Al Galpin were standing on the corner of Washington and First streets when they observed blaze several blocks east of the city hall. They gave the alarm and one of them fired the engine and with the as- sistance of couple of other officers, pulled the machine to the scene of the fire and had steam up before the hose teams arrived.
 The blaze was in the house occupied by Charlotte Monroe, corner of Madi- son and Fifth streets. Three strong streams of water were soon playing on the flames and by the efforts of the f1remen the adjoining property was saved, but the house occupied by the Monroe woman was burned down. the brick walls only remaining.
 How the fire originated no one knows and the flames made such head way that very little of he furniture was saved.
 The house was owned by Mrs. Win ters, who until last August had pol icy of $1,OO0 on the building, but al lowed it to lapse. Miss Monroe had the furniture insured in the Caledon-
