WAS A SURPRISE PARTY.

A certain rather prominent
married man of the city was
treated to rather a rude surprise
from which he has gained conSid-
cradle notoriety among the "goS-
sip clubs" of the city. A group
of young girls were playing hide
and seek at the west school build
ing grounds on this certain even
ing, and the station where the
girl who was blindfolded was evi-
IDENTIFY the trysting place of the
aforesaid man and a lady friend,
for while the girl who was ''it"
was waiting for the other girls to
hide, the man came around the
building and mistaking the girl
for the lady he evidently intended
to meet, proceeded without cere-
mony to embrace and address her
in endearing terms. Naturally,
the girl was frightened at thus be-
ing suddenly approached by a
man in the darkness and let out
a few screams of fright which
called her companions to the
place and the reception which was
then rendered to. the gentleman
of the loving disposition was no!
one which would altogether tend
to help along his peace of mind,
and the retreat which he beat was
not anywhere near as dignified
as the graceful back-Stepping
which the allied European ma
tionS are now doing before the
onSlaughtS of the Germans. The
gentleman has had an abundance
of experience in this line so that
there is really no excuse for his
being so indiScreet as to arrange
for a trySt of this kind without
some signal being arranged for
previously so that mistakes of
this kind will not occur.

WHY WEAK lungs?

The ton of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender threats
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou
sands ofpeople take Scott sEmulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. Scott's Emulsion is natures
streagth-builder. Refuse substitutes.
