A Story of Lincoln.

It was a frequent custom of Lin
coins to carry his children on his
shoulders, says The Literary Digest.
He rarely went down street that he
did not have one of his younger boys
mounted on his shoulder, while an
other hung to the tail of his long coat.
The antics Of the boys with their
father and the species of tyranny
they exercised over him are still the
subjects of talk in Springfield. Roland
Dillcr, who was neighbor Of Mr..
Lincoln, was called to the door one
day by hearing n great noise Of chill
dren, and there was Mr.. Lincoln strid-
ing by with the boys, both of whom
were wailing aloud. "Why, Mr.. Lin
coin, what's the matter with the boys"
he asked.
"Just what's the matter with the
whole world" Lincoln replied. "Fve
got three walnuts, and each wants
two"

The Lost Atlantis.

"The. Lost Atlantis" is fayorite SUBJ
ject Of song and story, and even now
strange tales are told by sailors who
claim to have seen great white city
rearing Its domes and minarets up
through the green Of the sea. Atlantis
was n continental island between Eu-
rope and America. Scion. as long ago
as 600 b. c., learned the story in Egypt,
and it Is from him and later from Pla-
to that the tale has been handed down
to modern peoples.
Atlantis was reigned over by three
kings Of marvellous power, and the In
habitants were a warlike people far
advanced in civilization. The three
kings finally became so pulled, with
power that they united forces and
planned q descent on Europe, the pur-
pose Of which was to destroy and en-
slave. The Athenians met the invaders
and after fearful battle gained de-
cisive victory. Two days later mighty
earthquakes shook the earth, and tre-
mendous inundationS came. When
peace succeeded elemental turmoil, the
sea stretched where once had been At

Met His Match.

Some years ago steamer touched
at Colombo to coal, and a Norman
went aboard and asked Sir William
Gregory to buy catseye for 5000
rupees. 1t was worth 10000 rupees.
but the distressed Moorman's father
was In Jail, and he wanted to buy him
out. Gregory listened to the old story
and then offered the willy dealer a
rupee for the gem. The man went of
seemingly offended. but presently re-
turned and offered the gem for 1000
rupees. "No; rupee" repeated the
Irishman. AS the four hours passed
the Norman came back at regular in
tervals, with>a lower offer each time
5000, 1000, 1000; then 500, 250. 100.
and so on-till finally. as the steamer
was about to start, he handed over the
catseye and took Gregory's rupee!
For once in q way the Norman dealer
had met his match.

Necessity is the mother Of invention
today, as always. The idea that fortui-
tous inventions have formed promi-
nent part In the worlds industrial and
material development has induced
some to attempt the invention Of USE
full articles without any previous ex-
perience or preparation. They have
trusted to blind chance and have failed.
Accidental discoveries cannot be taken
In the literal sense, for very few indeed
have ever been the product Of an I'm.
trained and unobserving mind.
A mechanic who has spent half life
time in one department Of human en-
deavOr may see the great need Of SIM
pie invention to save time or labor In
his work Year by year his mind dwells
at intervals upon the subject, and one
day an idea flashes upon his mind or
simple accident suggests the way Of In
venting what Is needed. Such an acct,
dental invention is really the result o,
years of study and observation, and II
is thus that many OF the simple inven.

OIL for the
Children.

Give them Oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the pcevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, an1mic child,
and his face becomes rosy ana
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child thai
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.
