gets away slowly, and it keeps running down
into the rivers little by little for months, and so

But where the trees have all been cut off

the railways are under water. and the trains
stop and the cellars are filled with water and

a beautiful time padding around RATS. And
after that the water is all gone and there Is
none left 10 water the farms and the crops when
il is needed, and the crops are spoiled, and the
farmers lose their money. and We have to pay

What makes the lumbermen cut the forests

why, you see, the lumbermen who do the

TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND ENGLAND.

TREATY BETWEEN JAPAN AND ENGLAND.
England and Japan have lately made treaty
saying that If either Of them are with
other country the other will not interfere. but II
one of them gets into fight with two other powers
the other will help that
I think the reason England wants to make this
treaty is so that Japan, who has a good navy ana
is right out there China, will help them to
keep the open door in China, and the reason
Japan wants make it is that she is afraid the
other powers viii take parts Of China, and then
they will be her that they might take her
The United States also wants TO keep the open
door in China. I think the reason England and
the United States want this is that they both
good traders, and II they allowed to trade with
China it will be a great thing. because China has
so large population to be fed and clothed, and so
large a territory to be fitted out with modern i'm
provements such railroads bridges and all kinds
OF modern machinery. ROBERT Z. MEIGS,

Thomas b. Reed, who died Sunday,
is generally regarded as having been
one OF the greatest characters in public
life in this country during that period
embracing the last quarter of a century
just passed. He was a man of striking
individuality. he lacked in diplomacy
and in courtesy. 1t was the writer
privilege to see and observe him at the
national convention at Minneapolis in
1892, He was ungraceful in manner,
but carried with him the sense OF
power. His speech had down cast
yankee drawl and slight nasal twang.
He was most effective in debate where
his sarcasm could be used. He made
few close friends, not caring for them
unless he found superior qualities in
them. We recall that when Congress-
man Cousins first went to congress
Reed was at the zenith of his greatness.
Cousins made speech or two that at
tracted national attention because OF
their eloquence and splendid delivery.
He at once became great favorite Of
Reed who saw in the brilliant young
congressman qualities beyond the ordi.
nary. Reed was not in harmony with
his party in the last few years of his
life. 1t is generally thought he was
disappointed because Mckinley beat
him for the presidential nomination in
1896.

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
