Unfortunately the Methodist ieo pie here had nllowed the insurance on the furniture in the parsonage to lapse and they are now making efforts to raise funds to replaoe the loss. That they will be heartily seconded in this is assnred when we recall the good will which exists in the community toward those Buffering tnisfortuno. The nnusal crop of gunning ao cidents recorded this year leads to the belief that hunters are in more danger from shots by their compnn ions than is the game. Thirteen casos of such fatal shooting have occurred in the Adlrondacks within a few weeks to say nothing of the number wounded or crippled for life. One victim was a woman shot by another woman which is some thing of a satire on a supposedly gentle sex. One of the most proliflo causes of these aooidonts is the pro pensity to fire at any thing stirrin before determining whether it a person or an animal. Laws may be enacted against such killings but no law will proteot one from an exoited fool, bettor net go in the woods with Buoh unless you have nn insurance and are willing to be crippled or leave your wife a widow.

" 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 nit gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something 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 naturally because they like the taite and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emul.sion is the most satisfactory treat ment. We w ill send you the penny, . e., a sample free.
