Consumption fl There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, exercise, nourishing food and Scott’s Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Millions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. fl From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT’S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consirtnption where its use must be continuous. fl We will send you a sample free. <| Be lure that thia g. picture in the form of a label ia on the wrapper of every bottle of Col I Emulsion you buy.

THE WRONG MAN

“An innocent man need never be afraid to face a jury.” So spoke a young lawyer but lately admitted. “What say you, Dick?” I asked of Boynton. “In theory I agree with our young friend; in practice, with you. I’ll give you a case in point if you like. “It was about ten years ago when 1 was aroused about 2 o’clock in the morning by a messenger from a police court, the bearer of a hastily scribbled note from an old client of mine. He was a childless widower, much interested in Egyptology, and consequently spent much of his time in Egypt. Being rich, he could afford this ex- . pensive hobby “The note I received ran: “Dear Boynton—They have brought me down here on some absurd charge or other. Come and arrange for my release immediately. R. ROWLEY. “I hastened to the relief of my client. Now, I must tell you he was very fastidious in his dress and particularly natty and trim in his appearance. He wore a brown beard, cut in Vandyke fashion. “Judge, then, of my astonishment when I was shown a man dressed in a particularly flashy style, of the kind affected by the sporting fraternity—a acleau shaven face, save for an inch or two of side whiskers. “ *Ah, Boynton, get me out of this quick.’ “ ‘There is some mistake,' I said to the policeman.

“ 'How?' asked he. “ ‘Why, this is not Mr. Rowley. This is not the gentleman I came to see.’ '"That so? Well, this is the man who gave me the note I sent up to you.’ “At this I looked up at the man before me and said: “ 'What made you use Mr. Rowley’s name?’ “He clutched me by the sleeve and gasped out: “ ‘Why, man, what do you mean? Do those clothes so alter me? Speak!’ “I looked at him very keenly, and gradually there dawned on me thut, after all, this was my old friend Rowley. “‘Heavens’ Is it you, Rowley? What are you doing here? Come, man, compose yourself and let’s get at the bottom of this.’ “All I could get from him was that he had arrived the previous evening in New York, had engaged a room at a hotel and had gone straight to bed. About midnight he had been aroused by a violent knocking at the door and on opening it had been gruffly told that he was under arrest. “Hurried by the officers, he had hastily dressed himself, protesting uselessly that the clothes he was hustled into were* not his, and was hurried off to the station. "No amount of cross questioning could get him to vary or enlarge bis story, nor could he give me the slightest reason for his arrest. As to his beard, owing to a slight skin eruption he had shaved it off some time ago. “The next step was to get him bailed out. This I found was not so easy a task. “My nonrecognition at first of my friend was against him. The police justice next morning protested that this prisoner was a confidence man wanted for various offenses, and that he was a certain Wilcox, alias Boucher, alias Palver, alias Moroney, and scoffingly declared he would not let him out under $3,000 bail. “I did not stay to argue the matter out, but in less than an hour was back with a couple of friends of well known wealth and standing. “Next morning my client was in a state of fever. I easily got a certificate from my physician exaggerating the illness. "He remained in my house and in bed for nearly a week. During that time I found out enough to solve the mystery to my moral satisfaction, but not enough to convince a jury or even any outsider. The solution of the mystery was this:

“The man with many aliases had come by the same train as my friend Rowley, had registered at the same hotel and had been assigned a room on the same narrow corridor. By some chance my friend after supper had been given the key of Mr. Wilcox’s room and had gone straight to bed. “Mr. Wilcox’s keen mind, ever bent oo covering up his tracks, on finding that he had been given the wrong key said nothing, examined my friend’s valise, and then the Idea came to him that it would be a good thing if he couM pass out of the hotel as Mr. R. Rowley. “The probability was that he (Rowley) was in his room. To open the door was an easy trick for the crook. Then he must have taken my friend's attire, leaving his In its place. This effected, he paid his bill as Mr. Rowley, saying he was going to catch the 11:45 p. m. night express for Syracuse, and so vanished. “His resemblance in Wileox's attire was so like the photos sent on to thepolice and so unlike his own photos that, with the correspondence, papers, cards and odds and ends which Wilcox bad either In haste or Intentionally left In the coat and vest pockets and which the police at the station had seized when they bad searched him, I shudderingly felt the chances were all in favor of a speedy conviction.” “What did you do?” asked the young lawyer. “What did I do?” you ask. “I smuggled him off on a boat to Cuba and forfeited the ball. He was, as 1 said, a rich man. It was the simplest way out of the difficulty and the surest Still, my client, though perfectly Innocent, Is now a fugitive from justice."

The SPORTING WORLD

Kelley Leaven Cincinnati. Joe Kelley, the great baseball captain and manager, caused a decided sensation by breaking away from the Cincinnati Nationals recently. Kelley’s ability is such that he will have no difficulty in finding a berth. Kelley was with Brooklyn before going to Cincinnati. The general opln-

JOE KELLEY.

ion is that he has a temper that breaks many records for hastiness. He is a source of terror to many umpires. Kelley’s favorite foe, however, is Captain Fred Clarke of Pittsburg. New Blk Eeaarne Players. Announcement of the capture of two California first basemen for service In 'the big leagues was made recently. Joe Nealon, the star of the San Francisco team, has been signed by the Pittsburg club, according to Manager Fred Clarke, who visited California just to get Nealon. The other capture is Nordyke of the Tacoma club, who goes to the St. Louis Browns. Nealon was the most sought after youngster of recent years. No less than three clubs in each big league made him offers. As he was a "free lance,” there being no reserve clause In his contract, Nealon played one offer against another, and as a result he probably will draw the best salary given to any minor league recruit next season. Only a few days ago the Chicago club announced that Nealon had signed a Chicago contract Clarke, however, seems to have Neaion’s signature safe on a contract. Nordyke, who will succeed Tom Jones at first base In St. Louis, is a heavy hitter and a very promising player. The success of Hal Chase in New York has boomed the Cbast league as a producer of first basemen.

Here’s * Sporty “Chinee.” Moy Lon, a Chinaman, has joined In the annual chase for deer in Michigan. Moy conducts a laundry in Republic, Mich., and is one of the most prosperous Celestials In the upper peninsula. He is fifty-five years old, has spent most of his life in the United States and has adopted American customs and sports. He is an enthusiastic huntsman. Each season sees him an applicant for a hunting permit, and until he has bagged the legal number of deer he «an rarely be found at his place of business. His rifle is the latest model, and he is an exceptionally good marksman. Moy acts as manager and backer of a baseball team during the playing season, and in the fall, when football becomes the sport, no more enthusiastic rooter will be found on the side lines than the Republic laundryman. He is very popular among all classes of the population. Will Be a Help to Auto Tourlats. By next spring the American Automobile association will possess a great fund of road and touring information. Asa Goddard, the road engineer, of Worcester, Mass., has been made a general traveling agent for the American Automobile association in this field and will collect data. This work and the reciprocal relations recently established with the French and English touring bodies are adding many new members every month to the association.

Rancho del Pmo. The passing of Rancho del Paso at Lexington, Ky., is the closing of a chapter in breeding animals which stands out alone In American racing history. It was established in the early eighties, and James B. Haggln begun its foundation with the stars which early bore his colors on the turf. Lord Tevis was his lay partner and interested with him in his mining ventures, and so he followed him in the racing and breeding game. Traiaer Mackeaiy. Trainer John J. Mackessy Is getting ready for the Bennings spring meeting four very high bred yearlings by David Garrick, King Hanover and Eon. Ttwy will be prepared at New Orleans. Trainer Mackessy is one of the most capable of the public trainers, and his record is a very successful one. Says Rohlin la No Brawarart. “Ruhlln is such a quiet fellow that it Is hard for me to believe that he is making all this talk about claiming the championship if somebody does not fight him in six weeks,” says Marvin Hart. Longevity of Horaea. Civilization does not tend to the horse's longevity. In a wild state he lives to be thirty-six or forty years old, while the domestic horse is old at twenty-five years.
