parleying the Lieutenant was per
mitted to enter and warm himself
He then began diligent search to see
if any lurking husband could be
found about the premises. At last
the Lieutenant said he was very sorry
to have disturbed the lady, and turn
ing to the bed recently occupied by
the woman, in which lay a small
sleeping specimen of the TT ami-
ly, he tenderly lifted the little white
headed infant out, and turning
toward Mrs. T, said: "You will
please take this child" ooh, sir, |
pray you let the dear, sick child
lay" The Lieutenant insisted, and
she reluctantly relieved him of the
precious charge. Then he lifted off
the nice feather bed, and behold
there lay the missing Isaac, who
crawled out laughing, acknowledged
that the Lieutenant had outwitted
his wife, terminated his French
furlough, and broke up the happiness
Of his holidays at home; though not
until that cheerful but defeated
woman had prepared a hot supper,
which Lieutenant Cox and her hus-
band enjoyed together before starting
on their return TO Lebanon.

at the end Of the year, and in fact
every since the present editor took

For Thin
Babies

Fat is of great account
to a baby ; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, SCOTS
EN- ulsion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need Immediately for
bone and mus Gle. Fat
babies are happy they do
not cry ; they are rich
their fat is la id up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat sur
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny tn ose
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle to uch h. They
delight in SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t is as sweet as
wholesome to them.

In the effort to save the State to the
republicans, and TO draw the sting out
the tax law u6til after the next elec-
ton. Senator Darst, as assistant to the
tax commissioner, is going through
the state, nosing into the affairs OF the
counties and municipalities, and fix
ing the levies, so as to reduce taxes be
low what they were last year, III spite
of the fact that the new law imposes
on the counties very heavy expense,
Tor criminal prosecutions, that was
formerly borne by the State. The st.
Mary's oracle, a paper published IN
Peasants county w. Va, gives an in
terview with Mr.. Darst, which dis
closes the "niggcr in the wood pile"
1t says Assistant Tax Commission
er Darst has been actively at work in
this county in an .ndeavor to reduce
tue various levies and save the state
for the republican party. When he was
told that at least twenty thousand
dollars would be necessary to run the
county for the year, and that twenty
five cent levy was not enough to raise
that amount he still insisted upon a
reduction.
"But," it was urged, "the county
will get in debt worse than ever
"Damn the difference" said he "this
year. Make it up nett year"
1t can only be made up next year,
by raising the leviss in the various
counties sufficiently high to make up
the deficits and to pay back the debts,
incurred by the counties to defray nee
essary expenses. Voters should not be
deceived by an apparent reduction OF
taxes, this year, for political reason,
when they have the prospect before
them of ''making it up uext year"

A Destructive Earthquake.

An earthquake, similar to that
which caused such destruc, ion in San

Without the slightest warning the
shock came with great violence, and
whole rows of houses collapsed upon
numbers of helpless victims who were
trying to escape. The exact details, as

tunnels having fallen in and numerous
landslides caused by the shake.
