A Napoleon Fights for Russia.

European exchanges comment in
reminiscent fashion on the announce
ment that. in response to an urgent
telegram from the car Prince Louis
Napoleon has gone post haste to as
sumo command of Russian cavalry in
Manchuria. One writer remarks that
neither OF the princes ancestors. the
greater Napoleon and the less. could
have imagined that a prince Of their
house would ever draw his sword in aid
Of the power which was the deadly foe
of each. The glories of the first en-
pire found a grave on Russian soil, and
amid the SHOWS OF another Russian
winter the full-blown pride Of the
later Napoleon was paid for with the
blood Of his subjects in the Crimea.

WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child!
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply Of
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives a child weight and
plumpness, but it feeds the
brain, bones and nerves with
strength and active power.
Fewer mothers would
worry if they knew more
about SCOTS Emulsion.

Soon warm weather will be coming
With the bluebirds all a-bluing:
And the humming birds a-humminS;
And the dewberries a-doing;
And the robins all a-robbing;
And the crocuses accusing:
And the spring trobs all a-throbbing;
And the isthmus busy mussing;
And the candidates a-datinG
Up the work that's to be done;
And the delegates a-gaiting
For a profitable run; @

Over all the country flung,
When it may be thus inferred you're
