Editor Inc Manning lines.
You will please all me space to ex-
plain my connection with the Oak
Grove inquest.
After hearing how the child was
affected and died, and being asked by
the grandfather Of the child to name it
to the coroner, which did with no i'll
feelings to no one. When I found out
that | was panneled on the jury I re-
fused, did not go on the jury on my
own will. From what I heard from peo-
pie whom I thought were in position
to knew; surely thought foul play was
with the child, and my actions were
based on what I thought were facts. l
have no i'll feelings for any of the fami-
~ and cannot see where am to blame
in any way The blame should be at
tached to the ones who started the re-
port that the child was murdered.
Respectfully Yours,

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing 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 yOurSeI any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SC
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better tor the
treatment. If it is consump~
ton you can't expect to be: 6
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.

Nevertheless there was a sound of
footsteps on the pavement. Who
would stay out as late as this and
brave public opinion with such au-
dacity? woman, only lady's shoes
could give that light quick tap-tap.
But who? Mr. Grundy, who happened
to be sitting near his window, hastily
put up his blinds and looked out.

lamp he recognized the sweet, tired
features of Jeanne Berlin, the pretty

Mr.. Grundy stared uneasily and
then remembered that the dressmaker
for whom the young girl worked had
kept her assistants over hours that
week, to finish some ball gowns. With
a sigh of relief the worthy man closed
the blinds again and went off to bed.

was in hurry to get back to the

she was deeply interested. In the

might read her I'LL Of poetry and beau

Hesitating little, she kicked 1t with
her foot, then her curiosity getting the

When ! was in the Philippines,
said Admiral Dewey, IAN American

would interest me because II contained
al account Of an American invention.
Then, with smile. he translated a
paragraph that ran some thing like
this:
The ingenuity OF the Yankee is
typified well in a hens nest that he
has recently invented and patented.
This nest Increases the laying capacity
Of the hens TO an unlimited degree.
III the bottom Of it there is a trap door,
governed by a delicate spring. The
hen lays an egg, the weight Of when
causes the trap door TO open, where,
upon the egg drops down into a subtef.

closes very swiftly and silently again.
The hen gets up turns to look at the
