For Thin Babies _ Fat is of great account to a baby; that is why abies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he | pwants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not crv: they are rich; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable.- The fat sur- rounds their little nerves and cushionsthem. When they are scrawny those - nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emul- sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for free sample.* Be sure that thfs picture tm the form of a label is onthe wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy.

This place is his lunch- eon club, and he does not consider two hours any too much time tospend there. The New York man of similar position, says the Tribune, would consider spend- ing two hours over the noonday meal almost a criminal waste of time, but the Chicago man knows that he will work all the harder the rest of the afternoon by loafing through four or five courses at luncheon, ~ The Chicago business day begins earlier than it does in New York. The difference of an hour in time between New York and Chicago may have,some- thing to do with it, for no matter how strenuously the Windy City may deny it Gotham remains its pulse. When the New York stock exchange opens for business it is nine o'clock in Chicago, and the hustle and bustle of the business day are well under way. In fact, one will find a great many men of affairs in their offices at eight o'clock. The pace is a tremendous one until noon, If the Chicago man has business on the street he goes to it like acountry- man headed for a fire or,a New York po- liceman getting away from trouble, He does not walk, but lopes along, dodging his fellows, scurrying from crossing to crossing, The business district of Chi- cago is not drawn out in a long, slim line from a Battery to Forty-second second street, as it is in New York. A dozen blocks square contain the major portion of it—retall, wholesale and financial. There is less riding in care and cabs, for one can go faster on foot, especially if it is a Chicago foot. The average Chicago office is an ex- hibition of time savers, The most handy telephones and tickers are attached to the chief's desk. Push buttons to call hig assistants run along the entire front of the desk. He dictates into a phono- graph out of one side of his mouth and chews black cigars on the other side, If you get to him with your proposition ‘| at all you know that you will have only two or three minutes at most to put It before him. But then your time is as yaluable as his and you learn perforce to be concise, So pass the hours froni eight o'clock until 11:45 o’clock, An early breakfast means an early luncheon, for the Chi- cago appetite, like the Chicago Deal— always with a capital letter—is tremen- dous, Like a fireman turning out to a midnight alarm, the Chicago man slips into his coat, for, of course, he has been working in shirt sleeves, grabs his hat and rushes off to his luncheon club. But at the portals of his club a change comes over him. He forgets that he has ever been in a hurry, remembering nothing but that he has two hours to spare to the enjoyment of luncheon, 120\minutes away from business and Deals, TROTTING OR GALLOPING? What Do Fish, Seals, Insects and Worms Do in Getting About? : Here is a problem for people with sharp eyes! As we all know, a horse when walking or trotting adyances only ne leg of each pair at a time, but when galloping lifts both fore feet tegether and then both hind feet. Now the ques- tion is, says St. Nicholas, how other ani- mals manage this matter. The birds, of course, flap both wings together, but which birds run and which hop? We human beings “trot” when we walk, and “gallop” when we swim—that is, if we are using the plain breast stroke. The dog, however, “trots” for both. Now, do the amphibious animals—the seals, otters and the rest—swim like men or like other four-footed creatures? Then there are the fish. One would rather expect that, as they move their tails from side to side, they would tlap alternately with the fins, which ara their hands and feet. Who can teil whether they do or do not, and whether all fish at all times follow one rule? By the way, how does a frog use its “hands?” The great anatomist, . Ray Lankes- ter, has lately pointed out that while the “thousand legs,” such as our com- mon gally worm, advance two feet of a pair together, the centipedes, which are much like thenr, do exactly the opposite; and the swimming worms also alternate the stroke of each pair of paddles. 1% doubt if many people can tell on which system the manages its doz- @n or 90 legs, or whether the adult in- sect walks, trots, paces or gallops on its six. How does the spider use eight? “fertilizers must be used liberally. Apply at least 500 pounds to the acre—with 3% per cent. nitrogen, 8 per cent. available phosphoric acid, and 9 per cent. Potash. Poras is a most important factor in corn culture. Our practical books for farmers are yours for the asking—no cost or obligation of any sort, and a vast fund of invaluable information in them. ‘ Address, GERMAN KALI!

He has a certain drollery that ie inimit- able. Frank Wooldridge, ex warden of the State Penitentiary, and Sam Sanders were in Thratlkill’s sanctum the other day when Sanders said something about a man named Carl who was with Quantrell during the war. “That reminds me,” eald Thrailkill, “of a- story about W, A. Carl who used to be sheriff of Barton county. I was living there at the time. A fellow pamed Avery had been convicted of murder and was to be hung. Carl had to officiate, It had been agreed between Avery and his people that bie body should be shipped to Fert Scott that after. boon, after the execution, which was to take place atnoon, When the fatal moment arrived and the com- pany gathered around the eceffold for the last scene, Avery was aeked the usual question if he hadanything to say. He immediately began a rambling harrangue to which It looked as it there would be no end. Finelly, when it loeked as though all patience was exhausted, Carl stepped up to Avery, took him by the arm and said, “You'll have to cut it shdrt, Avery, or you'll miss the train for Fort Scott.” —Warrens- | burg Star. Roosevelt’s Republican Enemies At the bottom of the President’s troubles with Congress lies the ques- tion of patronage. Although a civil service reformerin theory, and in former practice, Mr. Koosevelt as President has not been able to di- vorce himeelfentirely from the po- litical use of offices. Lately he has thought the Senate needed to be con- ciliated more than the House, and he has given Senators patronage which Representatives thought belonged to them. This has infuriated the Representatives without really win- ning over the Senators. The only thing which has thus tar prevented Congress from taking the bitin its teeth and running completely wild has been the fear of the President’s immense popularity. Senators and Representatives are watching for a sign that it is golug down, and with the first hint of its subsidence Mr. Roosevelt will have Congress not only on his hands, but onbis back.— Collier’s.

The intelligent bankers of theState for years have appreciated the {m- portance of divorcing the supervis- for of banks from politica, but at each session of the Legislature ther found it opposed by the Secretary of State and their friends, becauge it would be considered a “reflection” upon them, and it would take from their political machinvs several very valuable coge—Now, Swanger itching for re nomination, also rees that hecould use thie club in hie hands to his personal advantage, and ie deeply “offended” at the idea of the banking department being taken from him during “his” admin- istration. The depositor has a right to protection, as have the banks and to avold future scandals and disasters, another Legislatureshould net adjourn until proper banking laws have been enacted.—Boonville Advertiser.
