(S7 Beauty The most beautiful thing in the world is the baby, all dimples and joy. The most pitiful thing is that same baby, thin and in pain. And the mother does not know that a little fat makes all the difference. Dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear; the fat, that was comfort and color and curve-all but pity and love-is gone. I'hc little one gets no fat from her food. There is something wrong;itis either her food or food-mill. She has had no fat for weeks; is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers; and that i: gone. She is starving for fat it is death, be quick! Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the fat she c..r. lake; it will save her. * .

. How He Earned Breakfast. I must have walked the streets (of Richmond) till after midnight. At last I became so exhausted that I could walk no longer. 1 was tired, I was hungry. 1 was everything but discouraged. Just about the time when 1 reached extreme physical exhaustion 1 came upon a portion of a street where the board sidewalk was considerably elevated. 1 waited for a few minutes till I was sure that no passersby could see me and then crept under the sidewalk and lay for the night upon the ground, with my satchel of clothing for a pillow. Nearly all night 1 could hear the tramp of feet over my bead. The next morning 1 found myself somewhat refreshed, but 1 was extremely hungry, because it had been a Jong time since 1 had had sufficient food. As toon ns it became light enough for me to see my surroundings I noticed that » was near a large ship and that this ship seemed to be unloading a cargo of iig iron. I went nt once t" the vessel and asked the captain to permit me to help unload the vessel in order to get money tor food. The captain, a white man. who seemed to be kind bearteu. consented. I worked long . enoiV:. to earn money for my breakjk tf'fast. and it seems to me, as 1 remember it now, to have been about the best breakfast that 1 have ever eaten.— Got Mo Aotogrnph.

KANSAS CRUSADE Mftt. Carrie Nation Makes Determined War on the Liquor Traffic. BIG BAND OF WOMEN ORGANIZED Rumors of Armed Resistence to the Onslaught of the Fiery Crusader Are Heard and the Interest In the Situation Daily Grows More Acute. Topeka, Kan.. Fell. 4. Policeman Luster lias reported to City Marshal ’Stahl n plot on the part of the liquor men to tar and feather Mrs. Carrie Nation, the "Joint smasher.” Luster says that a negro tougli whom lie once befriended gave him the tip. Marshal Stahl is making an investigation. The report has frightened Mrs. Nation and her sister crusaders, but they declare that they will continue the work of destroying "murder shops.” Topeka, Kan., Feb. s.—Mrs. Carrie Nation last evening met the first defeat in her saloon smashing career. Later at the police station she laughingly declared that it was by no means her Waterloo, and she would soon again be nt her caosen work. With six women, each armed with bright new hatchets, she had started out to wreck a restaurant in East Sixth street that also dispensed liquors. Before she could wield her hatchet Mrs. Nation was disarmed and a free-for-all struggle between restaurant people and her wreckers was begun. The greatest excitement prevailed for a time, during which numerous eyes were blackened and many noses made to bleed. Mrs. Nation, herself unable to accomplish anything, shouted orders to her followers to re-begin the onslaught. But the hatchet brigade had become stampeded and not another hand was raised against the obnoxious restaurant. Mrs. Nation was led away to the station on a charge of disturbing the peace, and was followed by a jeering crowd. At the police station Mrs. Nation was formally charged with disturbing the peace, and her name was entered on the docket. The police judge was at the station. Mrs. Nation refused to go to his room to see him regarding her offense, but insisted that he come to her. which he did. Mrs. Nation was informed that she would have to report for trial at the police court and was then released on her own recognizance. She decares that she will smash all the joints of the city, and she will stay here long enough to accomplish this purpose if it takes months. Others Take It Up. Pittsburg, Kan., Feb. 5.—A number of women, wives of prominent citizens. attacked the two saloons running at McCune, a small town 15 miles west of here, yesterday, and destroyed the furniture and fixtures at both places and a large quantity of liquor. The women held a short prayer service first and then after arming themselves with hatchets and ball bats. Itegan their work. The saloon keepers fled after a short parley with the crusaders. The damage done will amount to s4tst. Feeling runs high, but none of the wreckers have been arrested.

Not a Joint Left. St. Joseph, Mo.. Feb. 4.—The wrecking of joints ut Hiawatha. Kan., which began there Saturday under the leadership of the temperance people, was completed Sunday and the work was thorough, not a joint in the town remaining. A CHARGE OF TREASON Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii Has Things Said About Him. Washington. Feb. 2.—A petition containing charges has been submitted to the house committee on elections No. 1 against Delegate Robert W. Wileox, the Hawaiian representative in the house. The charges are made in writing by George D. Gear of Hawaii, who submitted letters purporting to be copies of letters written by Wilcox to Filipino officials. The alleged letters are of a highly sensational character. One of the letters said to have been written by Wilcox Is given in duplicate, bearing the alleged signature of Wilcox. Another letter dated Honolulu March 8. 1890, says: “1 am thinking to go to the Philippine Islands and give my assistance to Agulnaldo against the invaders—the hypocritical Yankees—the carpetbag politician Otis.” “All Flail.** Mrs. Thurlow says that Cardinal Wiseman went to dine with some friends of hers.

USEFUL SNOW. Ent I'or It Much of the Earth Would lie Little Better Thun a Desert. If all the condensed moisture of the! atmosphere were to fall as rain and none of it as snow, hundreds of thousands of square miles of the earth's i surface now yielding bountiful crops would be little better than a desert, j The tremendous economic gain for the: world at large which results from the j I difference between snow and rain is seldom realized by the inhabitants of ( fertile ami well watered lowlands. It is in the extensive regions where Irrigation is a prime necessity in agriculture that the special uses of the snow come chiefly into view. All through the winter the snow is falling upon the 1 high mountains and packing itself firmly into the ravines. Thus in nature's great icehouse a supply of moisture is stored up for the following summer. All through the warm months the hardened snowbanks are melting gradually. In trickling streams they steadily feed the rivers, which ns they flow through the valleys are utilized for Irrigation. If this moisture fell as rain, it would almost immediately wash down through the rivers, which would hardly be fed nt all in the summer, when the crops most needed water. These facts are so well known as to be commonplace in the Salt Lake valley and in the subarid regions of the west generally. They are not so well understood in New Jersey or Ohio, where snow Is sometimes a picturesque, sometimes a disagreeable, sea ture of winter. In all parts of the country the notion prevails that the snow is of great value as a fertilizer. Scientists, however, are inclined to attach less importance to its service in soil nutrition-—for some regions which have no snow are exceedingly fertile- than to its worth as a blanket during the months of high winds. It prevents the blowing off of the finely pulverized richness of the top soil. This, although little perceived, would often be a very great loss. In nature's every form there is meaning.—Youth's Companion. ■■ - An Experiment tn Journalism. Once there was a really radical paper, In London it was, but the man who made it now lives here aitfl tells the tale. It was one of those papers which are a tragedy. They represent the wreck of the enthusiasm of strong men who must find the outlet for their apostolate. This paper began by being at odds with all that was established, and it had readers. But as time went on the man who made the paper drove off singly and In groups all those who had begun by being his supporters. It was found a little too radical for them, and they no longer kept step with Its newest march. “Os course I now can see that such a paper was foredoomed to failure.” the editor said after be bad recited the ear 1 ly history of his venture. “I confess it was pretty strong even for British radicals. After the circulation had dwindled down to the extremists 1 succeeded In alienating about half of them by denouncing social democracy as feudal oppression, and the other half left me when 1 attacked atheism on the score of its superstitious tendencies. After that 1 ran the paper as long as 1 could without any subscribers. But I bad to give it up. Nobody would read It except myself, and toward the end 1 had to give up reading it myself. I found it too unsettling. So it stopped.” —New York Commercial Advertiser. Mary Ellen Wants a Divorce. Wichita. Kan.. Jan. 22.- Mary E. Lease has filed suit for divorce from Charles L. Lease in the district court of Sedgwick county. The |>etitiou charges the defendant with* “being guilty of gross neglect of duty in this, that the defendant lias failed in neglect for more than 12 years last past to support the plaintiff and her family and to supply them with the ordinary and necessary conveniences of life, such as the defendant as an able-bod-ied man was competent and capable of supplying and furnishing.” Accompanying the petition Is a waiver signed by Mr. Lease signifying his intention of not contesting it. It has been found that a dozen Portn- j guese oysters contain abont six grains of phosphoric acid. French oysters have about four grains per dozen. fiioo Reward fiioo.
