Too fat, consul; a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. There are many causes of get¬ ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: over work and under-digestion. c Stop over-work, . it you can; hut, whether you can or not, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can’t live on it—true—but, by it, you can. There’s a limit, however; you’ll pay for it Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for “can’t eat,” unless it comes of your doing no work-you can long be well of and strong, without some sort activity.

For two weeks it was only necessary for some mischievous boy to shout, ‘Morgan ia coming!’ in any village in central or southern Ohio to create a ! • panic. I know that many of the raiders after Morgan got no rest night or day, slept in the' saddle, and not a few* of them fell off their horses in sleep. At, \ the end of the raid they were as ex hausted as Morgan’s men, but with j a more difficult task to perform they I never received half the praise given | to the raiders. “I remember,” continued the major, “one ease in which a woman stabled j her carriage horses in the parlor for | two day's to keep them out of Mor gan’s hands.

The army regulations strictly enjoin that he must always wear his uniform. A certain Lieutenant Schmidt, who was engaged in some lively adventure or other, dressed up as a civilian and was having altogether an enjoyable time until, on turning, a corner, he un expectedly met his colonel, The lieutenant did not. however, Jose his presence of mind. He pretended that he had novel seen his coLnel be fore and in a changed voice asked: “Can you tell me, sir. where Lieutcr. ant Schmidt lives? ! am his brother from the country and am paying him a little visit, but 1 happen just now to have lost my way.” The colonel quietly gave the desired information, and Lieutenant Schmidt, congratulating himself on his lucky es cane, hurried home and put on his uni form with all possible speed. lie thought, of course, that he had taken in his superior officer, but such an idea was rudely dispelled when oa the next day he met his colonel, and the latter said: ■ “Lieutenant Schmidt, if your brother from the country pays you another vis it I’ll have him placed in close confine ment for 30 days.” Gacrillrss Her Teeth.
