SEVEN TO ONE

From reports received we
figure that one bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion sometimes builds
seven times its weight Of solid,
healthy flesh! Why is this so?
Because SCOTS Emulsion is
itself the richest and most
digestible of foods.
Because SCOTS Emulsion
gives strong appetite.
Because SCOTS Emulsion
makes all good food do good
strong stomach-strong diges-
ton.
Because SCOTS Emulsion
wakes Up the dormant system
new life to the tissues-so
that the body uses it's food for
bone making and flesh building.

A Word to the Boys.

What do you think, young friends,
of the hundreds of thousands who
are trying to cheat themselves and
others into the belief that alcoholic
drinks are good for them? Are they
to be pitied and not blamed9 Do you
want to be one of these wretched
men? IF we are to have drunkards
in the future, some of them are to
come from the boys to whom I am
writing; and I ask you again if you
want to be one of them? No, of
course you don't! Well, I have a
plan for you that is just as sure to
save you from such a fate as the sun
is to rise tomorrow morning. It
never failed; it never will fail; and
I think it worth knowing. Never
touch liquor in any form. That is
the plan, and it is not only worth
knowing, but it is worth putting in
practice.
I know you don't drink now, and
it seems to you as if you never
would. But your temptation will
come, and viii probably come in this
way: You will find yourself some
time with a number of companions,
and they will have a bottle of wine
on the table. They will drink and
offer it to you. They will regard it
as a manly practice, and very likely
they will look upon you as a milksop
if you don't indulge with them. Then
what will you do? Eth, what will yor
do9 Will you say, "No, mol none Of
that stuff for mel I know a trick
worth half a dozen of thatl" or viii
you take a glass with your own com.
mon sense protesting, and your con
science making the whole draught
bitter, and a feeling that you have
damaged yourself, and then go of
with a hot head and a skuIking sou
that at once begins to make apollo
gies for itself, and will keep doing
so all this life2 Boys, do not becomt
drunkards.-J. g. Holland.

NOT A SICK DAY SINCE.

"I was taken severely sick with
kidney trouble. I tried all sorts of
midicinss, none of which relieved
me. One day I saw an ad. of your
Electric Bitters and determined to
try that. After taking a few doses
I felt relieved, and soon thereafter
was entirely cured, and have not
seen q sick day since. Neighbors
of mine have been cured of Rheu-
matism, Neuralgia, Liver and Kid
ney troubles and General Debility"

In the lists he saw a cousin of his
who was about his own size, and at
once he decided upon a course of ac-
ton. After the cousin had run the
number of courses fixed by the rules,
Bertrand went to him and begged
him to lend his horse and armor. His
cousin did so and the boy rode into
the lists.
AS he had the visor of his helmet
down, no one knew who he was, but
he overthrow every knight who came
against him except one That one
was his own father.
When Bertrand saw his father
charging upon him, he c~ourteously
lowered the point of his lance and
passed by with a bow, refusing to
fight him.
When Bertrand had ended his

Then he took off his helmet and
everybody saw that the victor was a
boy of seventeen, the despised Der
trand du Guesclin.
His father and mother became i'm
mensely proud of him, not only for
the skill in arms he had shown, but
also for the courteous name in
which he had borne himself.
After that his education was bet
ter attended to, and he got a start
in the world. The tournament made
his name famous through all Brit

which it was held.

trand du Guesclin. He lived and
fought many years before Columbus
discovered America. Besides being
a valiant soldier, he was a champion
of the rights of the people, who were
much oppressed in those days. He
gave good counsel to the king, SO
that all men admired him.
He had much success in driving
out the Spaniards and the English,
who, at that time, tried to conquer
France. The King of France thought
so much of du Guesclin that when
the soldier and counselor died he
had him buried in the Church of ST.
Denis at the foot of a tomb which he
had prepared for himself.
When Bertrand was a boy he was
awkward and far from good looking,
and his parents feared he
would amount to much. They neg,
Iected him and gave him no part of
the affection which they bestowed on
his brothers and sisters.
This neglect only made Bertrand
determined to try the harder to i'm
prove himself in all ways and achieve
a position which should make his
parents proud of him. The boy was
fond of exercise and athletic sports,
and when he was nine years old he
began to drill the children of his
fathers tenants as soldiers.
He was a generous lad and after
one of his play battles he always
would spend all his pocket money on
his companions. When he was six
teen years old his father sent him on
a visit to his aunt to see if she could
make anything out of him. While
on this visit he watched some coun-
try people wrestling near the castle,
The champion wrestler of the dis
trict seeing the boy looking on, chal-
lenged him.
Bertrand accepted and threw the
champion; but his aunt, hearing OF
the affair, scolded him and made
him promise to give up such sports

knights, in iron and MOUNTED
on horseback, entered an enclosure
called the lists, and charged upor
each other with long iron-tippec
poles or lances, each trying to knocl
off the others helmet or hurl hin
from his horse.
When Bertrand was seventeen
years old he took part in one of thes,
tournaments.
He was mounted on one of hi

THREE DEAD
EskimOs Mete Out Drastic
 Punishment.

News of the shooting and killing of three Eskimos by fellow natives on Kings island in the Boring sea, was brought from Nome by passengers arr irving from there. The passenger who brought the news was Samuel Anarek, a native of Upalakleek, who is on his way to attend school in Pennsylvania.
 While Anerek is not informed as to the details of the shooting, he having heard the story from natives on one of the whaleboats in Nome harbor, he ex- presses the belief that they were shot by their fellows as punishment for the commission of crimes. The three men shot mad been accused of causing the death of child, and this, together with other oifenses which they were supposed to have committed, enraged other natives against them. Whether the act of vengeance was merely tho act of one man, he doing the killing alone, or whether a number of natives joined in the shooting, Anarek was not informed.
