there really were bo many stumps la

and now he is eager to dispose of tht
lot cheap, for he needs the money.
About a year ago he loaned his broth

with a large mail-order department.
Under the mistaken idea that stampa
are legal tender, with a deposit of bul
lion behind them in the national treas
ury, the debtor recently paid hli
brother the $200 in atamp. That
amount of money in one-dollar billi
makes a rather bulky roll, a anyone
who ever nati that much at once can
testify, but $200 in one-cent and two
cent stamps would till a large waste
basket. The Pittsburgh brother takes
the debtor'B word for the correctness
of the count, for lie cannot afford to
hire on auditor, and his own time ii
too valuable. The stamps ore not
even yi sheets. They came in little
strips of from three to ten, while sev

Story of a Trona-

she came to town oh she was n fine

she said 'I'm going to be married

it was a trousseau we were proud of.
In round figures the cost was $2,0(M). It

set for her marriage, and we were just
about to ship it, when what do you

A lady resident of Mexico, Mo., has
just won a curious lawsuit brought
against her by a Connecticut firm
which manufactures bronze monu
i msnts. Some time uco she ord tired
from the plaintiffs u $384 bronze mon
ument to be erected on the grave other
parents, with this inscription:
"The Lord Is my shepherd,
I shall not want."
The engraver made it read "fear" in
stead of "want," nnd Mrs, Doty re
fused to pay the bill. The lawsuit fol
lowed. The judge instructed the jury
that if they considered tfce inscription
to be a material variance from the
words of the psalmist they should lind.
for the defendant, and they did so.
Many humorous features were de
veloped in the taking of the ceusua
of 1900. One quesfion wns indicated
by the remark "length of residence,"
which was expected to show how long
the people living in various localities
at the time of the census had beea
there. 'When the reports came in H
wns found that many of these queries
were answereu in figures in this way:
20x 40, 15x30, etc The enumerators
had gone around with a foot rule and
had measured the length of the resi
dences of the people they counted.
Rest rooms for farmers' wives are
lieing established in some towns in
the west. They are located in the
business center and are made cozy
anil comfortable with easy chairs,
lounges, books and magnzincs. Some
offer tea, at the nominal price of three
cents a cup. These rooms are sus
tained by women's clubs in the cities,
or the merchants of the cities contrib
ute to them, with the idea that they
help to draw trade.

The pair of new corduroy trousers

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's Just
as useless to try to escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do It. They are about us
on every hand and we are con
stantly taking them Into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold In a strong throat and
lungs. It' when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body Is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay-another day.

It's this nourishing, sustain

of SCOTT'S EMULSION that
has made it of such value in
all wasting and exhausting
