Recently a bent old lady entered one
OF the Salina street stores and upon be-
ing asked what she wished to see made
reply in what the clerk judged to be an
unknown language. A second inquiry
proving no more satisfactory, the clerk
excused herself and went in search Of
one Of her colleagues who is Of German
descent.
"Oh, Miss L." she entreated, won't
you come over to my counter for min
ute? There's poor old German lady
there, and I can't understand word
she says"
Miss l.. followed and, pausing before
the stool on which the would be GUS

sweetest tones:
"Are you Germanw
The ''poor old German lady" raised
her handkerchief to her lips and evi-

OIL for the
Children.

GlVe them Oll-COQ-llVCr Oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it 10 the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anImic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
we are so careful in making it
pleasant to take.

Entertaining SQUIRRELS.

Alive in his native woods the squirrel
Is an amusing little fellow, and he will
entertain you by the hour If you will
let him.
You probably become first aware of
his presence by his dropping things on
your head. Then he plays hide and
seek with you as he zigzags up tree.
While he pauses for thought, or pos
sibly to wash his face, another squirrel
comes scudding along the branches of
neighboring tree, and away they go,
one chasing the other, jumping from
branch tip to branch tip, racing up and
down the trunk and making the bark
fly. Sometimes one loses his footing
and falls headlong 20 or 80 feet to the
ground, landing there with force that
makes him bounce. You think every
grain of sense must be knocked out of
the small body, but he only blinks a
bit, and, after moment spent perhaps
in letting the stars set that must have
suddenly risen before his eyes, he
streaks it up the nearest tree after the
other fellow. Long after they have
disappeared from sight you hear them
chattering together up among the
leaves like two watchmen's rattles.--

An English Explanation.

This is the way prominent English
paper explains it:
The president Of the United States,
who receives a salary of 10000 a
year, must pay for all the food consum-
ed at the White House, and the ex-
penses of getting up an elaborate state
dinner are not small. Cigars and
wines the president buys, and they
must be of the best. He has to main
tain his own equipage. The govern
ment, however, allows him a valet; al
SO a clerk, who opens all his letters.
All other personal servants must be
engaged by the master and mistress of
the White House.

and tact and patience sublime; he

told Of the very obliging captain who,
to please the lady who asked to be
shown the equator while the ship was
in southern seas, pasted a hair across
the large end of a spyglass and told the
lady to- look And the lady through the
glass declared she could see the equa-
tor "as plainly as A B c." One other
polite captain have heard of-one who
directed an officer on the bridge to do
as the lady Wishes" when the lady re-
quested that the captain steer the ship
over to the horizon so she could see
what the horizon was like.-Captain

Letter to Riverside Wooden Co

Stafford Springs, Conn.
Dear Sirs Consider one point, If you
please, In painting your work-a point, on
which the practice of painters Is apt to be
wrong-the printing.
The usual practice is to use cheap ochre
for priming. Don't do 1t. Use the same
paint you are going to use for the other
two coats.
The 1eason for cheap ochre is: 1t Is
cheap-a poor reason. The saving Is
very small-a few cents on the side of a
house-and the damage considerable.
Cheap ochre is very poor stuff; not fit for
foundation paint not fit for the bond be-
tween paint and wood. And priming is
both foundation and bond.
Devoe Is your paint: the same for all
coats; lead and zinc; best paint in the
world. We have no monopoly of it.
Others can make it they choose to make
inferior point. Lead and oil lasts half as
long as Devoe.
This Is an absurd condition In the paint
business; but 1t exists. Devoe is your
paint.
Yours truly,

Professor Vivian Lewes, at the Lon

following answer to the question,
"Why do, we bathe" Twenty y-eight
miles of sweat glands in our skin arc
discharging 26 ounces of water per day
and leaving upon the outer surface of
the skin a full ounce of solid matter
These are aided by the oil glands Of the
hair, which facilitate the adherence OF
external dirt. Hence the refreshing
character of the morning bath and the
necessity for grease absorbing alkalies
