Cured With Pills and Humor.

Representative Warnock of Ohio, re-
lated this story as one of the best he
had ever heard:
"Ohio produces good physicians as
well as men in other professions and
trades. One of the wittiest physicians
l ever knew lived at small place near
Cleveland. He was greatly liked and
his practice was very heavy.
Sometimes people would tell him
that they called him in more for the
fun that was in it than the virtue of
his medicine. His wit was fully equal
to his skill. and it was difficult to say
which did his patients the most good,
his wit or his pills and pellets.
AS he always did his best With both
at the same time they probably helped
each other, just as it happened when
one of his patients revolted at mon
strous dose of physic and said:
why, my dear doctor, you don't
mean such u dose as this for a gem
tleman?'

A Matter Of Postaae.

New York Press: Postage is some
thing of an item in our business" said
the general manager OF corporation
that supplies one of the necessaries of
life. I'VE have 10000 accounts which
have to be squared every month. We
mail statement cents; the custom
err mails a check cents: we mail re-
ceipt--2 cents. Thus it costs our Gus
toners S400 a month to settle their OBJ
legations, or $4,000 a year. 1t costs us
$500 month, or $9,699 year. Natural
ly, we are in favor of 1-cent postage.
A 2-cent stamp is small matter in the
abstract, and people who write few
dozen letters q year don't mind il, but
when a correspondence requires the
purchase of 100000 stamps year the
item assumes a. magnitude that com.

Novelty in Flowers, a ereen PRIMO

Novelty in Flowers. Greon Primrose.
Ladies' Field: The green rose Is a
very old and rather ugly novelty" that
crops up afresh from time to time as
a catch-penny attraction. and there are
one or two other plants with green
flowers that are usually more curious
than attractive. A somewhat rare
green-fiowered Lenten rose, heileborus
viridis multifidus, is really rather good,
but the ordinary FORM h. v. dume-
forum. is unattractive. The prettiest
green-fiowered rock plant is perhaps
hacquetia epipactis little alpine that
flowers close to the ground. the bright,
green petaled blossoms. with pretty
gold centers. being about the size OF
primrose blooms, and produced with us
early in spring before the strawberry
like leaves. Bupleurum ranunculoides
Is another alpine that tae curious in
green-tiowered rockery subjects might
try; but as 1t Is high alpine, it's Gull
ture will be for careful gardeners Only
The latest invention in the way Of
green-fiowered varieties is an addition
to that familiar family. our own yellow
primroses. 1t is called Novelty and
is described as a large and truly green
lowered form of the beautiful old Wild
primrose. a free blcomer and strong
grower.

GOOD Stories.
. TOLD BY CONGRESSMAN -
No "sheepskin" for Him.

Washington Times: Uncle" Lon Liv-
ingston, who represents the Fifth con-
gressional district of Georgia, takes
time from cutting Parker timber to tell
this interesting story about Bob
Toombs and the old oak tree which
bears the name of Bob Toombs at Ath-
ems, Ga:
While all of these young graduates
are getting their diplomas. it is good
, time to say. that the great Robert
, Toombs. of my state, didn't want
sheepskin.
When the ungovernable young fell
low was at the state university he was
easily the leader in his class. but there
was no deViment practiced by the stu
dents in which Toombs didn't play q
full hand. Just before commencement
when TOombs was to graduate first
honor man, there was a fearful infrac-
ton of some of the rules. and the fac
ulty decided that a diploma should not
be given ToombS.
when the day came around Toombs
was on hand With his class as clipper
as though he had always been the best
boy in the university, but he knew he
was going to be hit and lit hard. The
chancellor announced that for good rea-
sons Mr.. Robert Toon:bs would not be
{permitted to speak, and that u diploma
would not be given him.
i ToOmbS rose from his seat and with
a courteous Thank YOU. Sir walked
down the aisle and out of the chapel.
f, meeting his negro servant at the door
and saying to him, srom, so down to
one of those stores on Broad street and
get me the damndest biggest dry goods
, box you can find. ar | place it out there
under that big oak tree
Tom hustled off : } do his masters
bidding and soon returned with a box.
, BY this time about half Of the students
and visitors We're around Toomos, hav-
ing deserted the chapel exercises after
the young man walked ut.
'ToOmbs mounted the box and an
nounccd that while the old fossils had
declined to permit him to speak in the
chapel, he was determined to get up
little commencement exercise Of his
own He rolled out eloquence by the
yard, while the crowd around him in
creased until he had more than 5000
hearers. the chapel exercise being all
most broken up. He held the crowd for
, more than two hours.
When he had finished he was placed
in carriage and. behind six jet black
horses was driven over the city. ToOmbs
was the lion of the day. for notwith-
standing the fact that he was little
wild. his talents were appreciated, and
he made friends with all classes.
When TOombs went out In the world
and made for himself name, the fac
uty wrote him asking if he would ac-
cept a diploma from the university.
His reply was characteristic: To hell
with your damned old sheepskin.

Minister Made Tracks.

Colonel Joe Meeks was one of the
pioneer settlers of Oregon" says rep
resentative from that far away state.
"A travelling preacher tackled the
colonel once, and opened up by asking
him if tracts had been literally dis
tributed through the section in which
he lived. The colonel played green.
and replied that there could be found a
fair sprinkling of tracts throughout the
entire territory. for Oregon was then a
territory.
Have you yourself a good supply?'
asked the preacher as he began to
tumble around in his saddlebags, which
were thrown across the rear of his
saddle.
Lord. yes answered the colonel.
There's bar tracks. deer tracks, panth-
er tracks, coon tracks, and every other
kind Of varmint, and the boys are now
hunting for the tracks Of a pfnted-nose
preacher, who disappeared the other
day with a horse which didn't legally
belong to him. If they catch him, there
will be tight rope performance in
this neighborhood.
The preacher concluded that he had
a hard customer and did not waste
time trying to convince him of the evil
Of his way"

SEVEN TO ONE

From reports received we
figure that one bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion sometimes builds
seven times its weight of solid,
healthy flesh! Why is this so?
Because SCOTS Emulsion is
itself the richest and most
digestible of foods.
Because SCOTS Emulsion
gives strong appetite.
Because SCOTS Emulsion
makes all good food do good
strong stomach-strong diges-
ton.
Because SCOTS Emulsion
wakes up the dormant SYSTEM
new life to the tissues-so
that the body uses it's food for
bone making and flesh building.

Interest in Europe.
And not only has the military element OF
the Tinted States shown a decided interest
in the work of the maneuver corps now en-
camped in this section of the country
England. France, Russia. Turkey, Mexico
and Spain have commissioned officers OF
their best military forces to come and
watch the work of the soldiers OF the
United States and report what they see TO
their home governments In Europe the
the army and militia of the United States
have been fortunate in beginning on
basis of study and clingfng closely 10 the
program that has been mapped out. In the
past few years the courses or instruction
in this country have progressed rapldiy.
Maneuvers are not new things In this coun-
try For many years it has been the Gus
tom to have what is now called by that
name at great posts in the west Where
troops of all arms in available numbers
were massed for purposes of advanced IN
struction. 1t IS within the past few years
however that the courses at these great
military schools have advanced SO far as
to include the citizen soldiery or the coun-
try.
Last Years Maneuvers.
Last year at West Point, KY, and later
at Fort Riley, Kan, maneuvers were held
on the largest scale ever attempted In
this country. A division of troops, esti-
mated at 10 900 or ZOO officers and men,
was massed at different times at these
two posts, and from central camp forces
