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
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.

ATTACKED BY A
SAVAGE BULL
Ole Peterson, Farmland
Mixes Things with an Ugly
Bovine and Comes out
Second Best.

Ole Peterson, farm hand<who is in
the employ of Josiah Slim, who owns
q, farm six miles south of town, on
last Monday evening went out to drive
the cows in from the pastuae. Know
ing there was savage bull in the
herd Ole prudently took pitchfork
along as a matter of precaution.
After starting the COWS the bull
suddenly left the herd and made a
viscious attack on him. Ole made
vigorous use of his pitchfork, prodding
and jabbing the bull with all his
strength, but his efforts availed little
in stopping the onset of the infuri-
ated animal.
The bull brushed the pitchfork out
of Ole's hands, dashed him to the
ground, bunted and trampled him un-
til he became unconscious. 1t was
exceedingly fortunate for Ole that the
bull was a muley, without horns, or
he would have been instantaneously
gored to death.
Ole's long absence from the house
caused alarm and search was insti-
tuted and he was found in an un-
conscious condition with the bull
standing over him apparently waiting
to renew the attack at the first sign
OF life.
| The animal was driven away and Ole
was carried to the house where it was
found his left leg was broken above
the knee, his left shoulder badly in
iured, his right ear nearly torn off,
and his entire body severly bruised
and lacerated.
Drs. McMasters and Lamb of this
| city was summoned to attend him.
They found him in a precarious con-
dition but there is hopes OF his re-
covery.

DR.. RENNICKS
Successfully Passes His
Examination --

DIR. Rennicks, who on last October
came here from Fargo to practice his
profession, that OF veterinary sur
geon, and was compelled to cease
practicing by series of transactions
by others practicing in the same line
which closely bordered on persecution.
The doctor was graduate OF a
Toronto Veterinary College and soon
established lucrative practice.
It was discovered that he held no
license from the State Board. Com
plant was made and he was twice ar
rested for practicing without license.
In each case he was bound over to the
District court, giving bonds for $500
in each instance. When the cases
were called for trial in District court
they were promptly dismissed by the
judge.
Unfortunately the doctor's diploma
was destroyed by a fire in Fargo,
which necessitated "trip on his part
to Toronto to secure q duplicate.
It had been so many years since he
graduated that it was necessary to
prove his identity before he could
secure duplicate diploma.
This was easily done, the duplicate
was secured, and at the last session OF
the State Board the Doctor passed a
most successful examination and his
license was issued to him.
The Doctor will resume his practice
here at once very much to the salts.
faction OF his numerous friends and
as he is a first class veterinary, no
doubt he will soon secure a large
practice.

Anna and Edna Cooke.

In speaking of the exquisite and
altogether inimitable bare back riding
of the Cooke Sisters, Anna and Edna,
there is no language too strong to
proclaim their merits, nor is it claim
ing too much to aver that they are,
beyond all question, the most daring,
the most accomplished, and in every
way the most finished equestriennes
the world has ever produced. Their
riding is a revelation and poem.
Beautiful and as graceful as fawn,
Anna and Edna accomplish on their
flying coursers numberless feats none
else ever dared attempt, and backward
and forward somersaults are to them
the merest bagatelle. There are many
equestriennes in the profession, but
there is none that can compare with
Anna and Edna Cooke, who are with
the Pan-American Show which will
exhibit at Sauk Centre on Thursday,
July 81.

4 GOOD GAME.
Sundays Game of Ball Be
tween Osakis and the Home
Team Proved a Good
One.

On Sunday the locals played a
combination Of Osakis, Alexandra
and st. Cloud, with Doty of Royalton
in the box for the visitors.
1t was pretty good game-some
good plays and some errors, but on
the whole it was an excellent game.
The home team had several new men
but they all played we'll, and as a
result won hands down.
Doty, who pitched for the st. Cloud
team in the first part of the season,
and who was something of a puzzle
for the locals in the st. Cloud game,
was an easy proposition for the boys
in this game. Twelve hits were made
off his delivery, while Gilchrist held
the visitors down to six hits. The fol.
lowing is the score:
