Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems I'd
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.

they are not the least interested. The latter .are sure to take up the sport shortly. know they can learn to play the game, for when the Giants were in Savannah for practice last spring a team, oG soldiers. from nearby fort played an exhibition game with the Gi- ants, and with them was young Fili- pino, who while he did not play on the soldier team, practiced with them and showed surprising proficiency. And if he is a sample of the Filipino rooter they win all be well, wells in the Philippines in short order.
 The bi,own-s skinned youth knew all the fine points ofthe game, as well as Henry ch adwiek, and he licked at least a half dozen Savannah darkies, who had the temerity to root against his soldier boys. I umpired the game, and he was going to punch me. Nothing strange about that. but it only shows how intensely interested the Filipinos become over the game. He was the cockiest most courageous little fellow I ever saw. I have thought well of the Filipinos ever since. If he could have reached mo I might haya thought still more Q! them

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER SOUTH.
Some of Prof. sneath's Impressions of
 That Sunny Land.

Some of Prof. Sneath's Impressions Of
 That Sunny Land.
 After a three weeks trip in the south ern states during which he travelled as ff.r as N aca, Texas, Professor E. Her ,shey Sheath of Yale university arrived home Ss tuEday morning. Professor sneath's mission in the south was an educational qsae, and he has covered the field comprahensive,y meeting princi- pals and tesoheTs of the high schools, normal schools and heads of colleges, and universities.
 Professor Sheath is most enthusiastic about the southland. He was especially impressed by southern loyalty to high ideals and devotion to the establishment of a worthy educational system under great difflculties and handicaps. He found that Yllle is held in very high es- teem by soutllerners everywhere
 Regarding his impressions Professor Sheath says:
 "The public school system as exam ined 1t in the various states was con stant source of revelation and delight. was amazed to note the progress in the sopth in this direction. The progress is simply remarkable when we recall the sact that the south had really no pub lie school system till some time after the civil war.
 .'The south has done and is doing great things for the colored people. They are giving them splendid school advantages and are really as generous in their disburseInent of funds for the education of the negro as for the edu- cation of the whites. The so-called class hatred that have heard so much about failed to be in evidence. On the other hand I saw splendid evidence of generosity to the negro and much prac- tical philanthrony. This solution of the race problem, as far as it bears on the schools, has nscessitated really two public school systems, involving du- plication of the educational plant and a material increase in the teaching force so that the financial burden which the south has had to carry in building up her school system has been very heavy.
 T found the summer school move ment very strong in the south. They lock upon it as orlas of the most powerful agencies for insreasing the efficiency of the teaching body. Many of the tearhers attend these schools.
 II found the people of the south de- liightful. They are, so cordial and hos pitable. They make one feel thorough l ly at home.
 Professor Sheath, suggests that wor. thy field for the funds of northern cap, italists is among the illiterate whites of the south to educate whom is one oi the most pressing of the educational problems of that region.

 Resuscitated, Charged with Drunk
 enness.
 Captain F. c. Larson, of the barbe Jennie and Florence Cahill, which an chored recently at Belle dock with a load of coal, came up town Saturday night to celebrate Christmas About 10 o'clock he went back to the dock and started to get on board, when he fell overheard. The water was exceedingly cold. Captain Larson immediately sank below the surface. When he came up he cried for help, at the same time try ing oSswinl. Owing to the cold and the sWiftness of the current he made but little progress, finding 1t difficult to keep above the surface,
 AS he was about to sink his cries were heard by Watchman H. Mack, who called two brakemer who were in the vicinity, and they started to inves- tigate. The man was seen and Watch man Mack threw rope to him, which, after several attempts. the man was able to grasp. He was then dragged to the dock and a ladder was let down to him, and he was then dragged upon the dock, the task of getting nirn there be- ing a most difficult one owing to Lar sons numhed condition.
 After the men got him on the dock they worked over him for some time, and when he recovered he was taken to the Grand avenue police station in the ambulance. On his arrival at the police station he was put into blankets and he finally apparently fully recovered. He was taken to the central station yester- day morning and locked up on charge of drunkenness.
 The police say that every time Lar sons boat arrives here he goes out and gets drunk, and that he was arrested 5 for drunkenness less than month ago, when his boat was here. At that time he was allowed to go the next morning. This time he will face the city court when 1t starts doing business this morning,
 Watchman Mack, who was the means of saving the mans life, is a special this city to-morrow afternoon.
