EMERGENCY RATION

EMERGENCY RATION
A man has lived forty days
without other toou than rs
wn fat.
Fat is mans emergency ra
ton. The fat is stored in
convenient hollows all ever
the body against the day OF
necessity.
Consumption makes heavy
demand on the storage of fat.
Nature uses fat to fight the
disease. The crying need OF
the consumptive is fat.
SCOTS Emulsion contains
the best fat to be had, next tc
human fat itself. SCOTS Emul
sion IS a natural substitute fol-
human fat. 1t prevents waste.
1t furnishes the consumptive
with natures own weapon for
fighting the disease.

2:O334 last summer was the stallion
race record for 1904. Locanda is
PAGER and is by Allerton, cham
pion trotter of his day, and cham
pion sire of the present time. The
dam Of Locanda is by Alcyone, a
horse which, all things considered.
was probably the best son of George
Wilkes, so that the Allerton pony
has right to pace fast, as Allerton
was an inbred Wilkes.
The fastest two PAGERS Of the AL
lerton family, Locanda and Charley
Hayt, are ponies in size, and both
are out of mares by sons of George
Wilkes, all of which shows that
doubling up of good blood does not
hurt, although, of course, in a gener-
al way, inbreeding tends to reduc-
ton of size, and Wilkes himself was
none too large. Locanda is only
seven years old, and as he has been
raced for several seasons, his colts
are few in number, but if any of
them take after him they will do.
Mr. Borden, who bought Locanda
only year ago and intended going
into the breeding of light harness
horses on an extensive scale, has
found that large business cares,
caused by the death of his father,
will prevent his plans being carried
out. and the dispersal sale is the re
suit.
Directly is also a champion. Back
in 1894 he came over the mountains
from California and made a record
of POTS as a two-year-old PAGER.
which discounted anything done in
that line up to that time by so young
a side wheeler But the hardships
Of early training were too much for
the chunky black colt, and, although
he paced in 2:0714 as a three-year-
old, it was then necessary to retire
him until he was six, when the late
George West took the cripple in
hand and won a brilliant race with
him. one Of the miles being in
2 :O214. Since then Directly has been
in stud, both in New York and Ten
nessee, and I am told his colts are
showing well.
Another champion is Delmarch,
2:111h. His mark was the best stall
lion race record at the time it was
made in 1891, and so good did the
son of Hambrino look to the trot-
ting experts of those days that J.
Malcolm Forbes offered $4,000 for
the horse without securing him, al
though MS owner at that time was a
man in moderate circumstances. The

The young ladies Of Columbus

culture, beauty and intelligence,
and Miss Anita Bell, whose won
drous grace and charming man
ners have brought her homage
from many quarters, has recently
been the recipient of a high COM

sent the loving cup which the
American people are to give Sir
Thomas Upton as a token of the
respect and esteem in which he
is held by the people of this
country. An additional compli-
ment has been conferred upon
Miss Bell by selecting her to
make the presentation speech,
and Columbus is proud indeed
that one of her daughters should
have been thus highly honored.

GIVEN THEIR LIBERTY.
Gov. LOnsinO Grants John r. AIbritton,
Asa and Jim Bob Brown a Con-
ditiOnal Pardon.

On Saturday last Governor
Longino granted conditional
pardon to John I'll. Albritton,
Asa and Jim Bob Brown, con-
victed at the May term, 1901,
of the Lincoln Circuit Court, and
sentenced to the peniteniary for
five years for arson. A pardon
was recommended by Judge
Powell and the Penitentiary Board
of Control, and in response to
this and the petition and represen-
tations of a number of citizens OF
this county, the Governor con
sented to grant the pardon on
the express written conditions
copied below:
Conditions upon which pardon is
granted to j. r. Albritton, Asa
Brown and Jim Bob Brown, OF
Lincoln county
That said convicts refrain from
the further use of Intoxicating
liquors and lead quiet, peaceable,
orderly and Industrious lives and
upon the breach of either of the
above conditions by either of the
said convicts the said pardon is
hereby revoked and any officer
or private citizen is authorized
to arrest them or either of them
violating said conditions and re-
turn him or them to the State
penitentiary.
Each of the above named pris-
oners by the acceptance of the
pardon upon the above named
conditions accept and agree to
abide by them. y
John Albritton was for long
time the recognized leader of the
rough, turbulent element around
Bogue Chitto and Norfield. Up
to the time he was sentenced to
the penitentiary he had been
charged with several of the grav-
est crimes in the calendar, COM
mitted in that portion of the
county. He and those who knew
him best, however, have always
attributed whatever of lawless
conduct he was guilty of to drink,
and On representations such as
these, and the assurance that
hereafter he would lead the life
of sober, orderly citizen, the
Governor at last consented to par
don him on the specific conditions
named.
The Brown brothers are igno-
rant and pitiabIe men, easily led
astray, and would have followed
Albritton to hades if he had asked
them.
All three of the pardoned men
have seen a good deal of the hard
experience Of prison life, and for
the welfare of the county, as we'll
as their own, it is hoped this ex-
perience has not been in vain and
that hereafter they will live
sober, Industrious, peaceable
lives, in the endeavor to do which
every good citizen should give
them all the aid and encouragement
possible.

Conscience.

The concience of a guilty man is
like the great clock of st. Paul's,
in London. At midday in the
roar of business few hear it. But
when the work of the day is over
and silence reigns, it may be
heard for miles. In the whirl of
excitement, conscience is not
heard, but the time will come
when it will sound and bring
misery to the soul. Bessus, ma
tive of Greece, being one day seen
by his neighbours pulling down
birds nests and passionately de-
stroying their young, was severe
ly reproved for his cruelty. He
replied that their notes were to
him insufferable, as they never
ceased twitting him of the murder
of his father. -Arvine.

A gossip is that species of animal
which finds no character strong
enough to be immune from it's at
tacks, no virtue so transcendent
that it will not surge against with
all the slander and filth at its COM
nand.
The gossip is that individual,
which, having. failed in life, and
wallowed in degradation up to the
very ears. desires that all humanity
should be brought to his or her
level.
They never rest; they are at the
cradle to whisper inuendos; they
stand above the grave to tell some
impossible tale about the cold clay
which cannot defend. They are
everywhere and always the same, a
stencil in the nostrils of the COM
munity.
Gossips are classified INTO he and
