It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palata- ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCO 77'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nour- ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or, adult better than cream or any other food in existence. It bears about the same rela- tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk, If you have had any experience with other so-called ,ajust as good" preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphites that are combined With the cod-liver oil give additional value to it beczusc they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body. 50c. and $1.00, all druggists.

And t he the Ma He We derfna Story Must Be True, Because Who Told It Declares That nn Eyewitness of the Won- ,. erfortnanee. "Some years ago," said the musician who dee ared that snakes loved DlIIIC and who was telling the story to prove his asser ion, "1 was the organist in a little coui try chur di near the Blue moun- tains in Schtdyki I county, The moun- tains web e fell o1 snakes. I used often to go out in the e owls and -take my cor- net along, jUst to have a little music and practice by mysel . One day I was sit- ting on a log by a -spring, playing softly and hard y thinktg about what I was doing, w 1 s hen ddenly saw a giaut black snake eery close to rare, coiled up and swaying his l ead to the rhytlun of t he LI u ne. I an] not afraid of enak es and knew this one to be as harmless as a kit- ten, So I was mote 'amused than fright- ened and contipue to play a variety of ales for him to s ,e the effect. He ap- peared to enjoy it immensely, and when I played somethis g lively he seemed to hoc:oast' almost del rions in his 'gyrations. I conchal el that i he had legs he would surely da ice, and as it was his motions \rere exc edingly raceful and his ideas of time eecellente His eyes shone with t he pleasere it was giviug him, and his forked torigue fai ay seemed to blaze in the eestaSy of his enjoyment. Suddenly I stopeetel and he seemed a very picture of. sadness and disappointment. He crawled 0 ose upto me .and asked me to iclnisie just as pil hey as if he knew ev- ere word n the E tglish language. , 'It -suddenly o curved to me that it \valid be an int resting experiment to .see if he would f How the music. So I get up end playing softly began to walk 0 way:, Ile followed at once, and I ' led him 81(»g down tb the church. When I unlocked the door, he followed tue in without hesitation and came right after me up into the organ loft. 1 then tried hint with the organ, and he was even more d eiechted tbrUl NVitil U1C COMA. 1 Fiatling that he would never get enaugh of the niusic, I wos obliged at length to drive hit 1 away la main. force.. "The lext (ley 1 went into the church ,. to lu.net ce and had not been long at it NVIIVD 1 ivied it rustle on the carpet, and, looking down, there was his snakeship taking i io, and when 1 finished 1 had to d ri NT h in a way again. By the next Sunday, had almost forgotten about the incident, \ellen, just as we were in the midet o the second hymn, 1 suddenly heard a screamieg and screeching among the fem ile members of the choir, as if some On ' were scalping them all at once. I looked up just in time to see- my friend, the suck , disappearing with. a shower of hyinnho ks and stools hurled by the einle ne tubers of the choir flying after him. However, he escaped, and I said nothiug ibout my previous acquaintance Ayith the reptile. You may imagine that it broke up the service for awhile, but finally e .erything quieted down and went on as us ial. . ' "After that the snake came again for many w eks every time I practiced, but it seems - that he liad become convinced that it Nyas dangerous when others wer.e preseet, 'so he never again entered the church curing service, though doubtless he was I stening at a safe point outside. 'Soon afterward members of the church eported that they had heard 3 • mysterm is breathings of the organ at night in passing the church and inquired Idiether 1 was practicing. I assured them that I was not. This occurred sev- eral times, and as it could• not be satis- factorily explained it aroused a deal of commeua and some of the more supersti- tious began to whisper that the church was haunted and that the spirit of a former oi•ganist was at the bottom of it. As the Mystery was beginning to tell on themerves of the neighborhood 'as well as on my on 1 determined to ferret it out. The mueic would generally sound as if Fame one were- touching the keys with one tinge, though sometimes a number of keys wot Id be depressed simultaneously, but wheoever I would enter the church. I would find no one there. The organ, however, would be open, though I had left it closed when I lase used it. "One evening I determined to :make a night of it and solve the mystery if it was poseible. 1 accordingly took up a concealed, position in the church shortly after dusk, I was assisted somewhat by the fact ehat the moon shone into the building land illuminated a small space a Sound ti c organ. It WAS no sooner fully dark tha 1 I heard a slight rustle and a moment ater .saw none other than my old frien I, the black snake, wriggle his } way up .on the music stool. He was not nlone, ,b4 was followed by half a dozen or more of bis companions, who,formed a shiny black mass eon the stook You cab ima,g ne that I was amazed as I had never been before, but I resolved to await developments. The next move I noticed was that all the snakes, appar- ently under the direction of my old ac- nunintanee, put their heads against the lid, and, pushing all together, it went up as easily as if 1 had lifted it myself. Then all he other snakes got down. His musical enakeship then let down a coil and graseed a lever that started the wa- ter motor' that did the pumping, and ev- erything IVIIS ready. "Then, seated coiled on the stool, he began 10 reel of col notes on vary this bank of I - lug 3 um, press the keys with his head, irse produced the corresponding the instrument.
