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 it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a 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.

The Plains are in most part covered

brutal exhibitions and punished me
whenever she learned OF my being

sympathized with me, though, good
man, he did not see fit for my mother
to know it.. Coming home one even
ing my mother presented proof of my
presence at canine scrap and sug-

father, pretending great wrath, &C.
cepted the suggestion, and taking me
into bedroom proceeded with a
great stick to lash the furniture, say

course howled, and my mother, hear.

Favors Woman's Rights to Vote.

Mr.. Roosevelt expressed himself in

Progress says that other men who
have occupied the White House enter.
tained, even though they did not
publicly express, similar views. 1t is
pointed out by this writer that " Cleve.
land proved himself favorable to it by
actions rather than words, as he
signed bills giving women partial
suffrage in New York when he was
Governor of that State. Hayes fav-
ored it in his quiet way, and helped
to get woman's rights resolution
through the Republican National
Convention in 1872. Garfield recog-
nized its growing Importance. He
said: Laugh as We may, put it aside
as jest if we will, keep it out of Con.
gress or political campaigns, still the
woman question is arising on our
horizon larger than the size of mans
hand; and some solution, ere long,
that question must find: Mrs. Nc
Kinley presented handsome doll to
the National Suffrage Bazaar not long
before her husbands assassination,
and Ohio suffragists, in their resolu.
tion Of regret for President McKinley's
death, spoke of him as a sympathizer
with the cause. Some other Presi-
dents were believed to be moro or less
friendly to it, but Roosevelt and Lin
coin have been the only ones to put
themselves conspicuously on record"
