Shortly after Franz Lenbach had
painted the portrait of Emperor Will
helm l. privy councillor called on him
to express the emperor's satisfaction.
There was only one criticism to make
would the professor be so kind as to
paint more distinctly the buttons on
the uniform, which were only indicated
vaguely? Lenbach looked at him a
moment over his glasses and said:
"Look here, Mr.. Councillor, paint
heads, not buttons Qch mall nur koepfe

TRAVELLING whales,

The whales that swim about the is
lands which lie off the coast Of Norway
and Finland in March and April travel
immense distances. In May they turn
up at the Azores or even at the Bermu-
das and sometimes pay visit to the
Antilles. They swim fast, for in June
they are back off Norway. Some of
these whales have been known to bring
back evidences Of where they have
been, for harpoons Of the peculiar kind
used of the coast of South America
have been found stuck In them.

should inquire why no statues were
erected to me than why they wera.-

Proverbs

Wv uStl Tie DuCC6I WON
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 Maine Election.

The vote in Maine shows an increase in
the Republican vote of 15 and in the
Democratic of 81 per cent The result is
not only encouraging in the marked de-
crease in the Republican majority, but as
evidence of the fact that the voters are
thoroughly alive to the situation
Four years ago, with the gold Demo-
Gratis not voting or solidly aligned against
him, and the full strength of the Inde-
pendent vote thrown to Mr.. Mckinley.
Mr.. Bryan succeeded in securing 49 per
cent. of the total popular vote cast. This
year Judge Parker will have not only the
great mass of the Bryan vote in his favor,
but 80 per cent. of that cast by the gold
Democrats in 1000 and an equal division,
if not decided majority, of the independ-
ent vote.
The campaign has been proceeding so
quietly that there seemed reason for be-
lief that the full voting strength of the
country would not be polled, the loss in
this event falling on Judge Parker, as his
opponent would marshal the whole force
of the Federal machine, and the regular
Republican vote. The result of the
gubernatorial election in Maine dissipates
that fear.

THE Republicans admit the increased
cost of running the Government under the
present extravagant administration, but
claim that it is necessary, as the growth
of the country demands it. But the cost
per capita should not increase faster than
the population increases, as it should be
relatively cheaper to run an eighty mil
lion country than one with forty millions
of people; but the cost is increasing at a
much greater ratio than the population,
which shows extravaganza and waste of
the peoples money

ALL the Cabinet officers have left Wash

seems to run along just as well as if they

be only useful for about sixty days when
campaign is on, and if they dom do any
better service on the stump than Shaw and
Wilson, their services could be dispensed
with altogether to the advantage of the
Republican party.

lECTURfD BY COURT
Appiauded Verdict Rendered by, jury
and the Judge Admonishes Him.

When the jury in the case of the
state against George Dague returned
verdict today. finding the accused
not guilty and recommending that the
prosecuting witness pay the costs. it
caused vigorous applause from a num-
Der of Interested spectators in the
court room. Judge Brents did not ap-
preciate such a demonstration in the
court and he ordered the sheriff to
bring the offenders in front of the
bench. The sheriff said that he could
not recognize any of them, when the
judge pointed out one man. and he
WAS taken in the presence OF the court.
Judge Brents then gave him a lecture
that he will not probably forget for
some time. He said that he should be
fined but he would not do so at this
time and then he scored him very Sc
verely for not having more respect for
the court.

Though much of fairy lore.

Arrayed in gaudy royal robes,
With countenance serene.

And then I'll wed a king.

Why, that's a certain thing.
Then with the king I'll shopping go.
And always wear my crown.
Of course they'll give us free of
charge.
The best they have in town.
Well. never mind about that crown
l shall have one some day.
When having joined the ransomed

On harps of gold We'll play
Instead of royal robes I'll wear
A garment snowy white.
Washed clean in Jesus precious
blood
And perfect in Gods sight
The empress has a jewelled crown,
But it's not half so fair.
AS that which God has promised me.
And which I'll surely wear.
