The Frog Legs.

Editor Tidings: There is one
thing which the writer wishes to i'm
press upon all the advocates of the
springs bond issue. That is talking
in favor Of the proposition, at least
to the extent of letting their position
be known to all men.
The moment one begins to question
around it becomes apparent that the
silent vote is in large majority for
the bonds, but the opponents are SO
vociferous in their opposition that
they create a surface appearance of
considerable strength. There is in
every community certain per cent
of the vote which wants to be on the
winning side, and it is to influence
these voters that it is advisable for
all favoring the bonds to speak out
their position at all times.
Without the least disrespect to the
worthy gentlemen who are opposing
the proposition, they remind the writ
er OF the well-known story of the bull
frogs. a man went to hotel and
wanted a contract for supplying frogs
legs. Said he could furnish a mil
lion. He returned in a week with a
dozen pairs. When asked why he
had no more he said: Il judged by
the noise they made that there were
million, but l could only find a
dozen" SMALL TAXPAYER.

WHY WEAK LUNGS?

The toll 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 throats-
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
To guard against consumption, thou
sands ofpeople take Scott Emulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in
the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist
tuberculosis. Scott Emulsion is natures
strength-builder. Refuse substitutes.

HITCH OVER AZORES.
Plan for Naturalization of Islands
Il Suspended.

II Suspended.
Special Cabls to The Washington Heah
London. Jan. 10.-There has been an ab-
rupt suspension Of the negotiations be-
tween the Portuguese, British. German.
and United States governments on the
proposed naturalization OF the Azores In
the East Atlantic.
An amicab'e spirit has been shown until
now. but the turn affairs have taken, re-
sulting from conditions made in Washing
ton. is due primarily to the refusal of
Germany ard Great Britain to be repre-
sented officislly at the Panama Exposi-
ton.
The naturalization Of the islands Is of
great interest to every maritime and COM
mercial nation. A glance at the map of
the Western Hemisphere Is enough to
show what =. necessarily important part
the Azores, or the Western isles. will play
in relation I, navigatio. to and from the
new interoceanic canal, while it is to be
noted that a. the city Of Horta, on the
island of Fayal, there is joint cable sta
ton occupied by English, German, and
American companies, which have al
ready efeven o.ean cables anchored there
and In active service.
The main proposal under the comsid-
Grafton Of the governments referred to is
the arrangement of joint treaty between
Portugal and all the other civilized ma
tons, establishing a neutral International
zone In the archipelago Of the Azores.

London. Jan. 1o.-The wedding OF WV
yam Holland, son of Oscar Wilde. to

One of them was Sir Herbert Beerbohm

pie at his house and subsequently facili-
tated the love-making. Another was Mrs.
Mackail. who is a daughter of the ia
