Pity
and
Beauty

The most beautiful thing i'll
the world is the baby, all
dimples and JOY. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and joy have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve-all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat;
it is death, be quick!
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil is the fat she can
take; it will save her.

THE JURY COMMISSIONER.

There is no apparent purpose back of
the bill pending In the Missouri Legis-
lature providing for the appointment
of the st. Louis Jury COMMISSIONS by
! the Governor instead of by the Judges
Of the Circuit Court, except a small grab
for the spoils of office. The position is
mol political in any sense, and there is
no good reason why the name of de
termining the Commissioner should be
changed.
There are so many good reasons why
this official, who is necessarily a part
of the court machinery, should be di-
rectly subject to the authority of the
Judges that 1t would be n grave mis-
take for the Democratic majority in the
Legislature to take the appointing
power away from the court for DO other
reason than to assure h appointment
of a Democrat. 1t is quite true that the
Judges of the Circuit Court have not
ignored politics in selecting the Jury
Commissioner but that fact in itself af-
fords no justifiable occasion for taking
the appointment away from them.
IL any excuse could be given not mere
ly a matter Of patronage, The Republic
would make no protest against the pend
ing bill. Inasmuch as it raises no issue
except II of patronage, it is impossible
to refrain from these words of warning.
The Jury Commissioner bill is a good
n to kill.

Washington, March 1.-THE Government

land divided into homestead tracts as the
prize. 1t is expected hat fully 1000 1000 peo-
pie will engage in the drawings which will
take place during the months Of July and
August.
The Government recently acquired title
to the lands in Oklahoma that were owned
by the Kiowa. Comanche and Apache
tribes, and according to the terms Of a proc
lamation to be issued soon. practically

In order to avoid the "rushes" which have
always accompanied previous openings of
public lands, Secretary Hitchcock has de-
The lands are to be awarded ON a lottery
system. with no crowding or rushing on
tho part Of the homesteaders and no dis
putes over titles. The indications are that
the drawings will be on a larger csale than
those of the famous Louisiana lottery DUR
ing its palmiest days. The entire area IS
sions laid out. These will be numbered
and registered according. to a careful
method. AS the applications for home

have been filled. When the time for enter
ing claims has expired. the Secretary will
direct that the drawings be made. The
will be drawn one at a time and the
awards made to the applicants with cor
responding numbers. Each subdivision
will consist of 160 acres of and.
The department has already discovered
several attempts on the part OF private in
dividuals to turn a dishonest penny on ac-
count of the approaching drawings. Agen-
cies have been established in certain
Western towns. and advertisements sent out
representing that claims for these lands

cies have been brought to the attention Of
Secretary Hitchcock. and on Saturday last
he placed the matter in the hands of the
First Assistant Attorney General for the
Interior Department, Judge Vandeventer,
with directions to prosecute those who are
back of the schemes. No person is to have
any advantage whatever in the drawings,
and it will be impossible for any influence
to be exerted to obtain choice lots for favor

PARKER'S PLEDGE.

feature of the campaign?
When Parker handed out that pledge
to the Merchants League Club it was
considered very clever politics.
As Mr.. Parker said, that is the way
to build up a party'-meaning by party
a machine. The loud and long cheers
which greeted the promise were consid-
cred a happy omen of work by the boys
and of a good strong machine after the
election.
Why this recent grief? Didn't Parker

George has produced the warm, kindly ex-
preston which was characteristic Of the
famed reformer.

this work." said Mr.. George to-day, and
while employed on other studies. I nave
had this constantly in my mind. The work
is really composite, as I had my studies
made from life during the numerous sit

many photographs, in addition to the death

MY father had a finely modelled head.
