The throng, ueeply impressed and in
full sympathy, waited for continue
ton OF the simple speech.
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
The speaker, Rev. H. c. Congdon,
had begun this hymn, familiar to every
one.
At the second bar the orchestra took
up the air, and presently hundreds OF
voices Joined in the singing until the
sacred melody swelled and filled the
playhouse like the tones of great
pipe organ In cathedral.
Wher the last. note ebbed tears were
to be seen in many eyes.

Proverbs

49," When the butter won
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems tc
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
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.

TO the worst year OF destructive tires In

ne total loss 70 about $325. 900.
An accompanying feature TO the story
OF the fire Is the now familiar one OF
Inadequate water pressure and the
consequent handicapplng OF the
efforts OF the firemeu to.prevent the
spread of he flames. With six water
plugs on the premises, a private hose
and the services of two fire steamers,
two streams of water were all that
could he employed, and for the greater
part OF this time these two streams
resem bIed those with which residents
of the city secure from garden hose.
