Never thought of such a
sign for a medicine did you ?
Well, it's a good sign for
SCOTS Emulsion. The body
has to be repaired like other
things and SCOTS Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear out
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones are not we'll made-and
all of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
SCOTS Emulsion fixes all
kinds. 1t does the work both
inside and out. 1t makes soft
bones hard, thin blood red,
weak lungs strong, hollow
places full. Only the best ma
terials are used in the patching
and the patches don't show
through the new glow of health
No one has to wait his turn
You can do it yourself-yo

THE BARGAIN CRAZE.
Men, 1t Is Alleged, Are as Much In
fected as the Women.

Mem, 1t Is Alleged, Are as Much In
fected as the Women.
This perennial joke about the love
of women for bargains wearies me-"
said a bright business woman the other
day. with most presumptuous supe-
riority men charge our sex with an ex-
travagant zeal for bargains, but l see
enough of business men to assure me
that they are just as eager as women
are to get an article at few cents less
than the usual price.
''AIr. A is generally extravagant
in his personal expenditures, but he is
keen after bargains. The other day he
came into our office wearing an air of
great satisfaction, and his jubilation
had no other foundation than the dis
covery of a street stand where sec
onds' in lead pencils were sold at 2
cents each.
eff you know good pencil when
you see it, he explained, you can rum
mage in the pile and pick out and 10
cent pencils at 2 cents each or three
for 5.
And that reminds me of another
bargain. You know the 10 cent cigars
l smoke? Well, there is a little shop
down near the ferry where you can
get them four for quarter. I just
heard of the place and ran down there
at lunchtime and filed my pockets.
Great bargain
"And would you believe it, that man,
whose transactions run into the mil
lions. went on telling my employer Of
bargains in clothes, stationery, etc,

CUTTING DOWN THE ACREAGE

The Daily News, of Meridian, says,
very aptly and properly, in discussing
the question now being detailed, of re-
stricting acreage of the coming cotton
crop, by concerted movement of the
farmers with view to maintain high
price for cotton in 1901-O2, that there is
one way and only one, by which cotton
prodion can be restricted, and that
is through the indirect means of MAX
ing other crops more profitable. We
believe that when the South fully real
ICES the economy in raising at home
the things consumed at home;when we
grow our own bread, pack our own
meat, manufacture the cotton we grow,
convert into disable articles our wealth
of timber, when, in short, we create a
market for other products than cotton,
the land and labor given to the sur
plusage of the staple will be diverted
to more profitable employment and the
cotton acreage will be normally and
naturally diminished.

for two men charged with stealing.
There had been taken from the men q

The trial was held the next day, and
the future senator made a brilliant
speech to the jury. He exhibited the
and without leaving their seats the
jury returned a verdict of Not guilty"
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50.

were about to separate, L am curious
to know why you carry that Bible and
the empty drawer" Then the senator
listened with establishment to the his
tory of his clients.

pressed a hidden spring in the thick
cover and disclosed a hollow in which
there lay two steel files and a small
saw, land this old drawer has a secret
bottom, where we keep our tools"
The future senator confiscated the
Bible and the drawer.
One of the thieves shouted angrily,
''Well get those things back yet, you
mark my words"'
Several years passed, and then the
incident was brought back to Mr.
SpoOners recollection in the following
manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment, and no one
was left at the house. When they re-
turned at a late hour, they found that
the house had been entered by bur-
glars and ransacked, but that nothing
apparently was missing. The next
days mail brought letter which read:
Dear Sir-Please excuse the way we came in
last night, but the door was locked. We never
did think you treated us square by swiping our
outfit, and so we came back after it and found
you not at home. We always keep our
word. Yours truly, JACK AND JIM

FROM Olympia TO v1cKsBURe.

The arrival of Aguinaldo in Manila
on the United States gunboat yicks-
burg recalls the fact that just about
three years ago Aguinaldo arrived at
Manila on another American warship,
bat at that time he was not prisoner
of war He was an ally, brought by
Admiral Dewey from Hong Kong to
stir up the natives against the Spanish
forces. He had acted in conjunction
with the American consul and the
American commodore and was given
arms from the arsenal at Cavite which
the Americans had captured. Agul-
naldo was saluted by the American
flag and entertained by the American
authorities. He was treated as an ally
by the sailors and soldiers. Since
then things have changed The Amer
lean government has decided to hold
the Philippines against all Corners
The Spanish were driven out and the
Americans took up arms against the
natives themselves. Our former allies
have become our present enemies
The dusky Filipino president, dicta-
tor, or whatever he calls himself, was
driven to the mountains, deceived,
betrayed, captured, and, doubtless,
curses the day when he listened to
American Establishment. Aguinaldo's
condition shows the fortunes of war.
There is but one step from the Olym-
pIa to the Vicksburg; from Aguinaldo,
the liberator, revolutionist, to Agul-
naldo, the prisoner, with none too low
