It is a sad thing to sec fine
truit trees spoiled by the blight
V ou can always tell them from

afterwards but stay small and

It is worse to see a blight

is the natural right of children
But some c£ them don't get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and we^]c.
Scott’s Eriulsion can stop
that blight. There is no
reason why such a child should
stay small. Scott's Emulsion
is a medicine with lots of

[Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis.]
Mr. Bowser had been complaining for
a fortnight of twinges in his legs,
but bad scorned Mrs. Bowser’s advice
to use liniment. He got bis feet wet as
he came home the other night In a
thunder shower, and at bedtime he
suddenly discovered that he had a very
decided limp in his left leg. While he
was wondering if he had been sitting
flaws on a broken bottle all the evening

a limp struck the other leg, and, hanging
to the back of bis chair, be exclaimed:
“By John, Mrs. Bowser, but what in
thunder has got into my legs? I don’t
believe I can walk three steps.”
“It's rheumatism, probably,” she re¬
plied, “and you ought to attend to it
very sharply. Your legs must be well
rubbed with liniment.”
“You—you don’t mean that I’ve actu¬
ally got rheumatism!” he whispered as
he grew white around the mouth.
“I’m sure of it. I think you’ve had it
hanging about you for some weeks.”
“And rheumatism ties a man up in
knots and often goes to his heart and
kills him like a bullet?”
“Yea.”
Mr. Bowser grew paler, and his chin
quiveredj but as Mrs. jfowser began to

express her hopes that this was only a
mild attack and would yield readily to
treatment he took n sudden resolve and
almost sternly said:
“Well, we won't worry. Whatever it
is, I will hear It like a man. I may be
a cripple In the house for mouths or
years, but you won’t hear one word of
complalnt from me.”
He managed to get upstairs after a
good deal of trouble, and after his legs
had been rubbed and he had been
helped into bed he felt so much better
that he went to sleep. When he awoke
in the morning, however, It was a dif-
ferent thing. Ills legs were almost as
stiff as crowbars, and the doctor ar-
rived to warn him that he was good for
three days in bed. He was asked to
exercise patience and keep a cheerful
spirit, and he replied:
“Not one complaint shall be heard
from me, doctor, and I’ll whistle and
sing all the time.”

actiy four minutes when Mr. Bowser
suddenly exclaimed:
“By gum,T-mt you are taking it cool
fora woman with a‘dying husband!*’
“But what ..can I do?’" asked 'Mrs.
Bowser.
■“Yon can turn my pillow over, rub
my fret, give me lhat camphor, get me
the morning paper, bring me a cigtir.
A loving wife would think of a hun¬
dred things to do.”
During that first day Mr. Bowser
was assisted to turn over in bed 28
times, his pillow was elevated or lower¬
ed 34 times, he smelt of the camphor
bottle 22 times, and he had his feet
rnbbed 14 times. The window of his
bedroom was raised or lowered 3(5
times, and he had four kinds of broth
and 12 special dishes. He made 23
predictions as to being dead in the
morning. All this, and yet at 10
o’clock at night he said to Mrs. Bowser:
“If you have no interest in this case,
just let me know, and I’ll hire a train?
ed nurse.”
DAY THE SECOND.
Day the second really began one
minute after midnight, as Mr.‘Bowser
awoke at that instant and complaiued
of a jerky sensation in one of his big
toes. At 2 o’clock he bad cold streaks,
at 4 it was hot streaks, at 5 bis knees
were numb, and at 7 he felt a flutter¬
ing of the heart. During the day he sat
up and lay down, groaned and whis¬
tled.- predicted that he. would live for
20 years and that he would die before
night. A neighbor who had heard of
his illness called to tender his sympa¬
thies, and Mr. Bowser took advantage
of the occasion to remark:
“This is a serious case, and of course
I am suffering as if on the rack, but
you notice bow calmly I take it. I am
not a man to make complaints, and
even with death staring me in the face
I am trying to preserve a cheerful de¬
meanor.”
Mr. Bowser wanted beer, ginger ale
and lemonade. He wanted strawber¬
ries and jellies and ice cream. He in¬
sisted that Mrs. Bowser telephone his
condition to the doctor every hour, and
yet he declared that the family phy¬
sician didn’t know enough to doctor a
dizzy headed cat. He set out with tears
in kis eyes to tell Mrs. Bowser what to
do as a widow, but at the end of ten
minutes charged her with a desire to
see him “planted” so that she could
marry again. Of the 15 special dishes
prepared for him he sipped at one or
two, and when night came he drew up
his knees, with a sigh, and groaned
out:
“I should have gone to the hospital In
the first place. 1 might have known
that I couldn’t get any attention in my
own house.”
_ DAY THE THIRD.,
Jrr ’ ” ow,ser be S an tIlis day flt 1
°’ c,ook iu the morning. He awoke Mrs.
B° wseP to inform her thut he had a
f ee ii n £ ' !1 the small of his hack as if a
coId flatiron was resting there. An
hour lat '“ r he aroused her agtdii to ask
^ er ^ an itching heel was a good Nign.
ant ^ ^Is heel got along somehow un-
6 o'clock, and then he demanded
she go down ifnd club a fish ped-
^ler wll ° ' v8s s houtinj? his stock. Dur-
threatened the life of
^ le cat 12 different times, he called the
doctor a 1 uack 21 times - aild he made
use of 0V,T 00 cuss 'vords. Mrs. Bow-
Ber cookyd beef, mutton and chicken in
ever >’ W!l . v known to woman, hut he
found fault with each dish as it was
presented. His feet were too high or
his head too low, and the bed either
had a hollow or a hump in it. Not for
three minutes at n time was he quiet or
satisfied, but at 5 o’clock in the after-
noon Mrs. Bowser had to go down to
the kitchen to show the new cook
about her work. Half an hour later as
she started up stairs she almost
screamed out as she glanced into the
sitting l-Cfm. There stood Mr. Bowser
fully dressed and bowing ar.J smiling
as the cut rubbed bin legs and purred.'
■ “You- you here!" she gasped m aston¬
ishment.
“I am here. Mrs. Bowser,” he bland¬
ly answered.
“But your rheumatism?”
“Rheumatism? Yes, 1 was at death’s
door with rheumatism, but I brought
my will (lower to bear on the physical,
and this is the result. You would have
lain there and died.”
“But I don’t understand.”
“Simply because you don’t know your
husband. 1 could have filled the liou.se
with complaints, but I uttered not one
word. I could have folded my arms
and died, but I willed it otherwise. Let
this be a great moral lesson to you,
Mrs. Bowser, and behold”—
And he went waltzing around the
room with his knees as limber as
springs and the cat following after,
while Mrs. Bowser raised her hands In
astonishment and said to herself:
“Was there ever another man In all
this world like Mr.. Bowser?”

It Save<5 Her Life.
Gooch’s Mexican Syrup has accom¬
plished a cure iu this neighborhood
wbieh,has astonished the people. Miss
Davis was given up to die by her
attending physician She had lung
fever, The doctor said she would die
before morning, and advised to discon¬
tinue his medicine as it was doing her
no good. Her parents had a bottle of
Gooch’s Mexican Syrup and Gooch’s
Quick Relief in the house- They at
once began 10 give the Syrup in doses
one hour apart., and frequently bathed
her chest with Quick Relief, Before
morning she was better, and after us¬
ing a few bottles of eac-h, she is almost
as well as ever, . It was almost like
raising the dead, and has established
the reputation of Gooch’s Mexican
Syrup here as a cough remedy; we can
sell nothingelse.

0 „ r System of Notation,
gome system of notation has been
used since time out of memory. The
g rs p record we have of it is of figures
written with a st j ck 0 n a flat surface
covered witb saod . Before that all
calculations were made with pebbles,
beans and the like. Even now the
Chinese do their calculating with little
stones or beads strung on wires, in a
frame. The Homans tlrst used vertical
lines—I, 11 111 , etc.—to express num-
hers. The Arabic figures, which we
commonly use at the present time, are
of much earlier date,
The Arabic system is chiefly valu-
able on account of the great conveu-
lenoe it affords by giving a figure a
value according to the place it occu-
pies in the line. By tills system the
most enormous Rums can lie expressed
by tlie ten little characters which form
the numerical alphabet.

dust, as it were, to form a bridge over

“Once vve heard the president of
Brown university describe the old ehar-
ter oak. first as a safety vault, then as
a hearthstone, and at last he made a
lightning change and brought out the
old tree as the rudder to the 6 hip of

heard and the greater surprise, too,
coming as it did from such a profound
scholar.”
Cheating the Cat.
The meanest man is around town In
many guises and in considerable num¬
bers, but the meanest woman is a re
cent discovery She lives in Phila¬
delphia, and for the sake of saving s
cent a day she cheats the cat by giving
her each morning a saucerful of' milk,
and after about two teaspoonfuls of
it tiave been lapped up she dilutes the
milk with water and continues to do
so till evening. When remonstrated
with by her husband recently she said:
“Well,, the cat doesn’t know the dif¬
ference. It locks like milk, anyhow,
and if I didn’t thin it out for tier we’d
have to have 2 cents’ worth for break¬
fast each, day.”—Philadelphia Record.
