He Reports In style.

Secretary Shaw is the only member
of the cabinet who makes his repQrt d.
rect to congress. The president pre-
sents those of the other cabinet minis
tiers with his annual message. Hereto
fore secretaries Of the treasury have
made no special attempt to send their
reports TO the capitol In style, but Mr..
Shaw did so with vengeance. The re-
port was inclosed in suitably in
scribed cover OF pebbled morocco, and
the inscription was In gold. The official
copies of President Roosevelt's message
were not so pretentious. The president
was content TO inclose the pages con-
timing his message between two
sheets of stiff paper.

Origin of "waterea Stock

The expression "watered stock"
which describes so well the expansion
Of the stock OF a company beyond the
value Of the property, originated, it IL
said, In connection with Daniel Drew,
who was once the wealthiest and most
unique manipulation in Wall street.
Drew had been a drover in his younger
days, and ii was said OF him that be-
fore selling his cattle In the market he
would first give them large quantities
Of salt to make them thirsty and then
provide them with all the water they
could drink. In this way their weight
was greatly increased, and the pur.
chaser was buying 'watered stock

Old Polo.

In "The Arabian Nights" we read Of
q wise sage who cured great king by
a detection with which he anointed the
handle Of a stick with which the king
was in the habit of playing a game at
ball, TO the end that when the regal
hand perspired in the vigor of the play
the open pores might receive the med
icament
The translator speaks of this stick az
golf stick" (sic). but it is plain frsn
the context that the game was played
ON horseback. 1t was, in fact, psls.
Indeed the illustrations OF the vesy
same edition show the said king play
Ing the game on horseback.

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about 1T.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
1 milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they. like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

ORANGE, N. j., Oct. 31.--Albert Luka-
chervsky, who was arrested last night
by Detectives Drabell and Cronin Of Orange
on charge Of deserving a wife. was brought
before Police Justice Bray this morning
so that tie official might decide with
which Of the two wives who claimed him
Lukachervsky should live. Both women
were in the court room. FIc did not teny
two marriages. Wife No. was, previous
to her marriage, Mary Kimpinski. and
until three months ago she lived in Po-
land.
Justice Bray decided that he should live
with wife No. and pay to the other woman
81 a week. This arrangement seemed to
be satisfactory to all hands, and the man
gave bonds to insure his part of the con-
tract.
Justice Bray called attention to the fact
that wife No. 2, who was married sixteen
years ago to the defendant in Polish
church in Brooklyn, was the mother OF
three living children. Wife No. had
borne five children, but only one was now
living. He is 10 years old. The first mar
riage took place in Poland twenty-one
years ago.
Wife No. offered no objection to wife
No. living with her husband, and the JUS
tice said that he felt safe in making his
Celision. The two women spent last
night together.
