w WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. 1t
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment:

COULD NOT KILL THE HOBO.
ing a Cow After Running Into Herd.

"It was way back in the '70s," said an old engineer. T was pulling the limited east from Council Bluffs to Chicago over the Rock Island. The night was bitterly cold. We had gone about 20 miles out, and had stopped at night office for orders, and had started up again, when the fireman reached over and said: There is hobo on the pilot; saw him get on at the depot 'Sure?' I asked. Go out on the running board and see if he's there yet The fireman did as he was ordered to do, and returned with the information that the hobo was still there.
 Well, said I, it's a bitter cold night, and if he can stand it out there I am willing he should ride with me- And on we went toward Chicago, with old s2ll' barking like sixty at the low joints ahead and forgetful of our head end passenger on the pilot.
 By and by, by the faint glimmering of the headlight, thought I saw ahead what seemed to be bunch of cattle on the track. As we approached it the bunch seemed to grow larger. It was now too late to do anything, so just pulled her wide open and old gil hit that bunch of cattle 'ka-bif.' To para phrase the language of Tennyson, who glides into raptures of admiration over the charge of the Light brigade at Bala- klava, there was just simply cattle to the right of us, cattle to the left of us, but none any more in front of us.> After 1t was over our thoughts reverted to the hobo on the pilot. Go out and see if he Is still there,' I said"
 "Well," said an old brakeman, under whose feet the frosts of many winters had crackled as he wended his way in the dark over many long train of box cars, and who had been listening to the story. Well" said he, twas he killed?"
 "No," replied the engineer. "There he sat, as large as any hobo could sit, on the pilot with an oyster can milking one of those durned cows. ."-Topeka Capital.

coZY HOME FOR TRAMPs.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans . Comfortable Refuge for
 the Aged.

Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest tramp in America, who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, at the expense of western rail- road magnate, as result of 8 wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months, Is to build a home for aged tramps. Hans recent ly received $25,000 by the will of rel- ative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in . New York bank.
 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson. of Wor- cester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and, while talking about Hans project, said:
 "lt sounds like the dream of . crazy man. but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. I asked him why he didn't take his money and settle down and he said it is much more fun to be tramp.
 He said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is a home to live in when he gets too old to catch freights. so long as he had to build himself homo. he declared that he might as well build one large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew 5000 tramps on the road in the United Statss Some of these friends of his, he ex. plained, are getting old and stiff and cannot tramp much longer.
 "He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by little work. such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running ex- penses. When I asked him how soon he Is going to build this home he said that he is looking for a suitable place, and that as soon as he finds one he will take his money out of the bank and build"

A Serious Mistake.

It is a serious thing to neglect. your heart.
 The moment you detect any weakness or irregularity, such as short breath after exercise, palpitation, futtering, weak or hungry spells, pain in breast, side or shoulder, or uneasiness when lying on left side, you should take Dr. Miles Heart Cure; it rarely ever fails to relieve all these symptoms.
 If not promptly restored, chronic heart disease soon de- velops, and then it only remains for some sudden strain to con- pletely exhaust the heart.
 Thousands of hopeless cases have been cured, and if you do not try it, it will be the great est mistake of your life.
