Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisth themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared Tor easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

CAVE LIKE FAIRY PALACE.
Cavern Containing Strange and Beautiful Figures.

While prospecting in the mountains ten miles west of here recently, says report from Anaconda, Mont, Frank McKinnon broke through the earth into one of the most peculiar caverns ever discovered in this section. Mc- Kinnon had sunk shaft possibly 20 feet. Suddenly the earth gave way beneath his feet and he was precipi- tated into great underground chamber.
 Filled with stalactites and stalag- mites of all kinds the place was a veritable fairy palace. The only opening into or exit from the cave seemed to be the opening into which the man had fallen. In the cave was a small lake and near this were the skeleton of man and the bones of a mountain lion. Cold drafts passed over the lake continually, showing that it was connected with the out- side world, yet the closest search failed to reveal the opening.
 McKinnon, who was accompanied by friend made an inspection of the cave and was later pulled to the surface with a rope.
 It has been known for long time that there was something mysterious about the mountains where the cave is located, as the Indians cannot be induced to go there, claiming the To- cahty is haunted.

DON'T BE sHoCKED.~ v

as to get her victims to write many promise filled and affection reek- ing letters to her-'s such ink singers as the old parties are, to be sure! was her artless way of putting it--and these bundles of documents were, of course, her potent weapons.
 tsIn several cases, she told me, her comfortably fixed elderly victims were really willing, not to say anxious, to marry her-which was annoying, she said, because it spoiled everything She wanted them to sidestep the mar riage proposition and fight it out in court, of course. Those who were really willing to marry her she had to run away from, of course, because she wasn't in the marrying business.
 Besides the suits that she won in court she had forced quite 8 number of elderly parties to settle with her under her threat that she would have recourse to the law, and she said that some of these settlements were more remunerative than most of the cases that she had won in court
 You may believe that I was in a state of stunned surprise, perhaps not unmixed with curiosity, as I listened to this woman's calm and connected narration of the superior form of b1ackmail in which she had been en- gazing. I was relieved as to my own connection with her when she told me that the case which I had won for her was genuine affair, and that she had really been befooled by the Brook 1yn contractor from whom I had ob- tained the $5 600 award fo her.
 '.It was only after winning that suit that she had determined to go into the breach of promise game as a business, and to prepare herself for this sort of thing she had deliberately studied the law in all of it's bearings upon breach of promise suits until she had become so expert that she was enabled tc frame up case on a victim with such precision and predication that she could generally tell tota T just how good her case was going to be when it came to trial.
 'FDon't be shocked she concluded, smi1ingly, after she had unraveled her story to me; T know lots of other women who are making good in the breach of promise business all over the country, but. just because I've made my pile and am out of the busi- ness, I'm not going to give them away certainly not -.
 "A pleasing tale, that, for reptsta- bIe lawyer and the father of family to spend a morning listening to, wasn't 1t? But it's all in the days work, and have a receptive mind for these new things"

INDIAN TERRIToRY's CAPITALS
There Are Five in All, One for. Each Tribe, Yet No Proper
 Capital.

Here is a common geography mis-, Scr Ocean:
 ssThe educators of the Indian terri tory should endeavor to educate the various school-book publishing com panies in regard to the capitals of the Indian country" recently said Tanrs Bixby, chairman of the Dawes commission. Every geography pulp ished has TahleqHah as the capital of the Indian territory. The maps of the territory in these geographi hies show scarcely any other towns. But Tahlequah is always played up in heavy black letters, with the star representing the capital. It is about time that authors of geogfaphies knew something of the geography of the Indian country, and the educa4 tors here ought to draw their atten- tion to the inaccuracies of the text books on geography.
 ssAs a matter of fact, the Indian territory proper has no capital, as it is not regularly organized terri tory. It is simply the Indian terri tory.
 t'The seat of government is Musko- gee. Each of the five civilized tribes, however, has a. capital. Tahlequah is the capital of the Cherokee nation, Okmulgee of the Greek nation, Tishomingo of the Chicl1asaw nation, Tuskahoma of the Choctaw nation"

THE CANINE FLooD-GAGE.
old Man's Dog Relied Upon to Warn Him If Higher Water
 Was Coming.

Floods on the Mississippi river are usually marked by tragic features, but occasionally the humorous ele- ment predominates. As a refuge in time of need, says the New York Mail and Express, balconies are built on the roofs of houses and cabins ad- jacent to the river, and there pris- oners of the flood gather when the water gets inside the levee and takes possession of the lower floors of their dwellings. e.ea
 They take things calmly, especial ly if they are negroes, waiting con tentedly for the waters to subside. On one of these balconies on negro cabin, near Natchez, an old colored man watched the recent rise and fall of the river. His wife, nine children, his children's goat, his hound and his wife's chickens kept him company.
 .sYou'd better come off your perch, unclei" called one of a relief party from skiff. ''We'l take you where you'll be safer The water will soon be up to your feet
 "No, it won't,' said the old man, calmly. ITS lib here 36 year. an ct never come higher'n this, an ct won't come now, lease this dog ain't a-whin- in. Dogs has got more sense'n folks, an eff the flood had a mind to come higher, this dog'd be a-cryin' like chile.''
 The old man stayed on the balcony, and his faith in the hound was strengt thened by fall in the height of the water.

 UNCLE FEB AND THE AUTO.

This shufer, must say, was a fust- class nav v'gator, and he did handle her in great shape. Wa'al, as was sayin', Cap'n Joe's friend, Cap'n Joe, and I got in aft, and the shufer was on the front seat, and we started. Cap'n Joe didn't say nothin' at fust; he was hang in on with both hands. Finally he said, Eb, du you s'pose the darn thing is runnin' away? It goes faster then eny hoss in Nauset.' The fust corner we went round, the feller didn't slow up bit, and swan I thought we was gOin' over sure Cap'n Joe he stood right up. Slack your sheet, or she'll capsize' he yelled. 'Jerus'lem, young man, you oughtn't tn jibe when you're carryin' so much sail But the shufer was further and couldn't un stand word, and Cap'n Joe's friend was laffin' so hard thet he couldn't say any thing t all. Things went all right fer a while until we got intu the crowded part of the village and then Cap'n Joe was continually advisin' them tn short en sail. Look here,' he said. you ain't goin' through the fleet at a twenty-five knot clip, be ye? Gosh CT mighty, we'll get foul some feller's fore riggin' fore we get through here.' It seemed as though we must run intu somebody, but we didn't slow but nightly little.

, WHAT IS GOSSIP?

There has been a complaint, from the beginning of history, that women are curious" What is curiosity? It is the uneasy appetite of an ill-fed mind. People fully educated and fully employed are not curious. Civilized woman has inherited the mental growth of man, and then has had to confine that enlarged capacity to pre- cisely the same field of activity which was sufficient for a squaw. Women have been accused, for centuries, of a tendency to gossip" What is gossip? ? It is small talk about other people, the discussion of personal affairs which are not our own. The tendency to this vice is a reaction from the persistent presence of our own affairs.-Charlotte Perkins Gilman in July Success.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
Enterprising Woman Carries On a
 Paying Business in It.
Has Sued Many Elderly Svvains and Secured Enough 'EDamages" to
 Retire from the Field, Inde- pendent and Still Young.

You don't have to be successful lawyer to make a good living out of the law" said a lawyer who keeps tab on queer cases in connection with his profession, to Chicago Tribune re-. porter. 'tIf you're smart enough and devoid of scruples you can be pro- fessional 1itigant.
 About nine years ago I won a breach of promise suit for a woman who had been school teacher. The defendant was an elderly contractor, and we got $5, ,O0O. out of him. He was a widower, and, like a good many lonesome old men, he had been pretty mellow in his correspondence with my client, which won out for us. The woman wasn't especially pretty, but she was winsome and attractive.
 '.Well, that woman has been a pro- fessionaI lftigant in the breach of promise line ever since, and she has made herself we'll off from it. She has instituted more than dozen breach of promise suits, always against wealthy and elderly men in large cit ies of the United States, and she has won the majority of her suits. know  these things because, with frank ness as naive as it was overwhelming, she told them to me herself not long ago.
 'tShe told me at the same time that she had become so we'll to do through her breach of promise 'business'-she called it that-that she had decided to give it up and settle down. She is still under 40 and as winsome and attrac- tive as she was when put her first breach of promise suit through for her.
 tsHer game must have been un- imaginab1y easy, from the way she described it. Her story certainly went far to convince me of the truth of the adage that there's no fool like an old fool She made a speciality of trap ping elderly men of means, widowers in all cases. She so contrived matters

xarxest Chemical Factory.

The largest factory of chemicals in the world is said to be the ani1ine and soda establishment of Baden, in Ludwigshafen on the Rhine. The works employ 14s scientific chemists, 75 technical engineers, 3o5 clerks and more than 5000 workingmen. There are 421 buildings for factory purposes and 548 dwellings for laborers and 91 for officials. One hundred and two boilers furnish steam for 253 engines with 12,16o horsepower. Gas is ex- tensively used for fuel. Five large steam hoists on the banks of the river are used for loading and un- loading. The works own a vessel with a capacity of 600 metric tons, for the transportation of sulphuric acid. A network of railway, having a total length of 27 miles, connects with the state. Eighty-seven cars are owned by the factory railroad system.

Lew Drill. who received his sheepskin
at Georgetown University yesterday. was

cupied almost entirely by a crowd of
Georgetown boys, fresh from their com
mencement, who cheered their fellow
coilegian every time he moved And
right we'll did Lew respond TO their
cheers. The first time at bat he pasted
the leather on the nose and sent it soar
ing far out into left garden for three
bases The second time UP he planted

his share OF the cheers and even outdid
