a year ago Bishop. Harvey C. Potter,

Church Courtship.
A young gentleman at church con -
leaved a most sadden and violent pas-
sion for a yoeng lady in the next
pew and felt desirotre of entering ;a-
te courtship on the epot, bat the
place not suiting a formal declara-
tion, the exigency suggested the fol-
lowing plan: He politely banded his
fair neighbor a Bible open, with a
pin stuck in the following text:
Second Epletle of John, verse 5:
"And now 'I beseeeh thee, lady, not
as though I wrote a new command -

Proverbs
" When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
Churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emu',
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is sornething
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs,
Children take to it naturqlly
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
Fcr all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
is the most sgisfacfory treat-
ment. '
We will send you

civilization, an able insist and for-
merly Governor of the Province of

giving Am.eiricet all reasonable conces-

Panama oily Is a Spanish community
of 26,000 inhabitants—very alarm-

be. As my genlaa friend, Captain

pressed 1t: "Between the heavy rains

Tiaese, then, are approximately
some of the ditficultieg involved in the

11. Critical diplomatic relations with
the Colombian Geyernment, wiacb

original estimates of cost. The most
careful financial observers assure me
that the cost of this Anelartaking

eration will be to our Government
about $12,000,000 a year', while the
