Fateful Presidential
Conventions,

Mr.. Rogers contributes second pa
per of timely interest to the April issue
of The Booklovers ingaEine on the
subject of "Fsteful Presidential Conven-
tions." He reviews the conventions of
1892 and 1896, and attributes Harri-
sons defeat to the attitude OF Blaine
who. like Achilles, sulked in his tent
while the battle was on. Bryan's
meteoric rise and periodic fall are seen
to have been partly due to economic
causes beyond his control and partly
TO dissensions in his psrty. The ar
ticle. like its predecessor, is fully Illus
.rated.

w WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
!. +; good too, but it is very hard
o 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 cant
deceive yourself any longcr.
Begin with the first thought
10 take SCOTS Emulsion. l.
it isn't really consumption 50
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
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
/, ats the best treatment.

THE LEGISLATURES

The ancient State Capitol at
Richmond was the scene yesterday
OF great activity, the members of
two Legislatures being at one time
"4'''A-- go ''.-..~. - .ovv4u. u
800 days, and session extending
into four calendar years, one
Legislature went out of existence
and today at noon another begins
its s'ttings, the period being limi-
ted to sixty days.
The retiring Legislature, by it's
diiatory methods, has been severely
criticised by the State press. and
1t appears justly so. 1t seems that
the session after Christmas was
notnecessary, as nothing of i'm
portance was done after the recess
was taken before the HOLIDAYS
Two important measures passed
by the last Legislature are ex-
pected to come up for consideration
by the ne Y. Efforts are expected
TO be made to repeal the Mann
Anti-Saloon law. By providing !
that licenses outside of cities shall :
be granted only upon petition of |
majority Of the registered voters, L
this law has rendered many sec q
tons of Virginia "dry" districts.
Its friends hold that the attack on c
the measure will be unsuccessful.
though number Of advocates of G
saloons bave been elected to the II
lew Legislature. The Barksdale II
'ure-EIectioh Law is also expected Fl

BLOODHOUNDS

In view Of the recent fires in tn,
county supposed to be of incen-
diary origin it has been suggested
that possible remedy for this
and other forms of lawlessness
would be the purchase and main
tensnce of several bloodhounds.
The knowledge that criminals
would be hunted with these keen
scented dogs would have a deter.
ring effect, and they would think
twice before laying the frebrand
to their enemy's property.
1t is claimed that the losses
from the few recent fires supposed
to be the work of incendiarjes
which has been sustained by the
Insurance companies, would more
than defray the expenses of kesp-
ing the dogs.

honor of Judge Houston of tn,
County Court, whose retirement
from the bsnch was in accordance
