looking BACKWARD.

"Say, mister, that man told me to
get you to give me the brick stretcher;
he wants it," said a small boy to an
Emmett man Saturday afternoon.
The old timer gasped, and then GOV
cred his mouth with his hand, and
said: swell, we just sent it over to
the blacksmith shop to get it repaired;
you will have to go after it."
The kid ran along, and the old man
and his cronies laughed, but the event
had stirred up memories of the old
mans W younger days, when he had
chased after impossible things, and he
sat for a while, sober and reflective.
As the kid days came back, he re-
membered the hot summer day when a
greasy handed imp of Satan, posing as
a plumbers helper, sent him after a
left handed monkey wrench. And he
imagined he felt again the smarts and
welts on his legs that followed a visit,
years ago, to a grouchy old harness
maker with a request for a pint of
strap oil. A little further along he
remembered how he missed his supper
and got a whipping for chasing to
every paint shop IN town for some
striped paint, which a tramp painter
needed at once for redecorating a

barber pole. And as he sat, he weni
again on countless fruitless trips after
white lampblack, italic spaces, over
keys, tent wrencLes, s~tovepipe shears
and dot and dash oil for the telegraph
office.
The joke was not as funny when he
remembered the old days. A litter of
the bafied feeling that he had known
as a child came back and again
the childish dread of being teased
came over him. The boy came back
along the other side of the street,
lodging from hardware store to
blacksmith shop, from blacksmith
shop to implement shed.
"Hey, kid" the old man called,
there amt no such thing as a brick
stretcher. Those fellows are coddine
you. Here's a dime; go get yourself
an ice cream sody."

Older But STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at.
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion whichisa
food, a tonic and amedicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.

He was a new policeman in a small
city. His instructions the first day
were to assist in stopping the prac-
tlce of hopping on and off trains. Soon
he had arrested a mar he saw jump
ing on and off a freight train and took
him before the city judge. "What's
the charger" asked the court. "He
jumped on and off a train five times
in two minutes" said the policeman.
"Aw, what's the matter with this
town." asked the man under arrest in
disgust and in utter disregard of con-
tempt. "Pm the brakeman"
