"Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsion is the mod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. S Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, ' but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

Every man who owes his local merchant-or anybody for that matter s iould make every possible effort to siuare up before the first of the new year. Merchants usually take an in ventory of stock at the beginning of the new year, and also settle with their creditors. The fact that they are easy with you is no sign that they do not wont their bills. They have paid out their money for their goods and expeet their customers to re member their kindness. The fact that they made a profit on what they sold you is not to be considered in your reason for neglect, because they could have doubtless sold the same goods to some other for cash.

The Various Churches Observe ttje Event Very Appropriately. Another Christmas with all its mer riment has came andgoix. The weath er was cold, but in spite of this fact, the event was attended w ith great joy, especially on the part of the little foiks. Entertainments were given In various churches in honor of the Sun day schools. AT THE M. K. CHl'ItLIl, a very interesting program was rend ered Christmas Eve., in which Santa Clans, as well as the Sunday school scholars, played a very interesting part. The imitation brick building constructed on the platform, from which. Santa at the proper hour emer ged with his baskets filled w ith present for the little ones, was a very unique piece of work and the electrical effects manumpulated by Earl Wescott, were most beautiful. The pantomine en acted by Miss Clara Rrown, entitled "Rock of Ages," and accompaniment sang by Miss Rachel Beach, was most solemn, and yet grand to behold. 4,The Beautiful Star," sang by a chorus of small girls, was well done, and con siderably enhanced by the electrical star suspended to the ceiling of the altar. The program throughout was greatly appreciated, and all those who took part aquitted themselves with credit. After the completion of the program Old Santa, to the delight of the little ones appeared and unloaded his gifts, which were distritubed to the scholars. The attendance was ood and the best of order prevailed. All went to their respective homes, no doubt, feeling much better by having seen how happy Old Santa Claus had made the little folks. AT THE PRESBYTERIAN' CnURCII the Sabbath school room presented a very handsome appearance, being tastily decorated with bunting and evergreens, in the midst or wnicn was situated a beautiful Christmas tree, which of course was the center of at traction for the children. A short literary program was the order of the evening-, after the rendition of which Santa .?taus presented himself, much to the dcligj)f the little folks. Up on request "ftis Royal Highness, sev eral pieces were spoken by the chil dren for his especial benefit. The good old soul, who always remembers good little boys and girls on this par ticular occasion, left presents for each one beftresWng his 'tieparture. " It was a most happy gathering, and it would make the average heart leap with delight to view the happiness of the dear children. episcopal cnURCii. The BpfscbJd Sunday school held thcirOtertairiment at the A. O. U. W. Hall, which was well attended by the members of -the church and little ones. The entertainment was on the order of a Christmas picnic. At the same time they had a Christinas tree, which sheltered presents for those in attendance. Presents were distribut ed to all members of the Sunday school. Take it all in all, the little ones were made most happy. 6T. PAUL'S EVAN'GELICAL CHURCn was the scene of one of the most j03--ous events of the Christmas season, which was largely attended. It con sisted of a Christmas tree laden with presents, and an interesting and ap propriate program rendered by the Sunday school scholars. st. jonx's cnuRcn As usual, Christmas was appropriate-1 ly observed at St. John's Catholic church by holding high mass at 7 a: nyr, second high mass at 9, and solemn high mass at 10 a- m. A most interesting and entertaining program was render ed, interspersed with vocal and in strumental music, Including a most excellent selection sang bv Miss M. Cagney, and also a solo by Miss Ella Clark. The program was well render ed throughout, but these two young ladies merit special mention, as they both acquitted themselves of their respective parts most nobly. Christmas day was pretty well ob served by the business men generally, most of them closing their stores and shops at the noon hour, and enjoying the balance of the day in eating tur key and other choice vians, and hav ing a sort of a reunion with their families. Business in the afternoon was practically suspended. Farmers Attention.

A most tteautiful and interesting family reunion took place at the home of Hon. J. M. Patterson on Christina-? day. It was a reunion of al! the living children arid all the grand-children with one exception, Ellen Pollock, who was unable to be present on ac count of sickness. There were present the families of James, recently of Ok lahoma; Thomas M., of I'lattsmouth; Samuel, of Arapahoe, Neb.; Mrs. Lida Pollock, of this city; Mrs. Edith King, of Waukegan, 111.; Hon. R. R. Wind ham, of I'lattsmouth, and the un married sons, Charles A., of St. Joe; and Rea, of this city, and also Thomas Johnson, Esq., of Washington county, Pennsylvania, a nephew of Mr. Patter son. The reunion thus consisted of father grandfather five sons, two daughters, three sons-in-law, three daughters-in-law, seventeen grand children and one nephew, a total of tli I rty-t wo persons. It was the only reunion of this esteemed and honored pioneer family when all of the above persons were present. What a beautiful scene and impress ive occasion when these children rang ing in ages from 21 years up to 40, and grandchildren ranging in years from a few months up to 22 years, all gather ed around the fes:al board, loaded with the viands and delicacies of an hospitable home, to partake of good cheer to one another and to give loving greeting and merry Christmas to father grandfather now nearing his three score years and ten. The child ren here assembled at the old home the home of infancy of childhood of young manhood and young woman hood to live over again the memories of years ago. And what a beautiful thought, that, far away in the Spirit World, there was on the same day a reunion of part of the same family a reunion that never dissolves, consisting of wife mother grandmother, of daughter sister wife mother, and of two others, daughters sisters. Beautiful, instructive thought, that away in that Spirit home, mother and daughters looked down upon this re union in the old home and .there saw, that, while absent from the family circle, they were still lovingly and tenderly remembered. The images of the absent ones, placed with careful tender, loving care around the wahpf the old home, looked down upon tlris family reunion, most beautifully Suggesting the thought: "Yes, we are all, all here." The Journal sincerely hopes that Mr. Patterson may enjoy many re turns of like reunions. And the Horses Came BacK Geo. Foisall went to his barn Sunday morning and found two of his horses missing. Believing they had been stolen he apprised the officers of his suspicions, and Sheriff Mc Bride came to the Journal office and had fifteen hundred circulars printed, offering100 reward $10 each by the county and Mr. Poisall. Just about the time he had finished sending out these circu lars, the information was conveyed to that energectic official that the horses had returned. They came home about five o'clock in the evening, and from their appearance, Mr. Poisall thinks they had been ridden some distance and then turned loose to returnhome. Oreorge was glad to see them back, as it was his favorite team, and would refuse anj'one's $250.00 for it f - An Old-Timer Visits Central City. Henry C. McMaktn, an old Platts mouth, Neb., friend of the editor, was visiting the members of the Nebraska colony in Central City last Friday. Mr. McMaken is no tenderfoot, and is quite well known to the early settlers of the Black Hills, especially in and around Custer where in "the early eighties, he was interested in the development of a mica mine. In 1878, however, he did considerable freight ing into Deadwood and Central City and hauled much of the timber-used in opening up the old DeSmetand Terra ville mines. Mr. McMaken made inquires concerning D. E. Mullins, Edward Iieilly and a number of other old Central City friends. "Uncle Hank," as he is familialy called in his home town, is engagsd in the ice busi ness at Plattsmouth and is prosperous. He still has mining interests in the Black Hills. "Stick to Central City, my boy it will soon be a good town," were his parting words to the editor. We will take his advice, especially since we never had any other inten-tions.-Central City (S. D.)

The long winter eveninps are here apain and in most farm houses it is a question how to spend them in a way which is not only pleasant, but also that the time will not be alto gether wasted.

It contains from twenty-four to forty -eight pages every week and besides articles dealing with farming and stock raising, it has abundant reading matter in the way of stories and matter interesting to the farmer's wife and the children as well. Story of "Pretty Persian." The laws of Persia permit divorce for repudiation. Should the hnsband kiss the bride during the llrst2t hours of their marriage, the marriage tie cannot be broken, but becomes a life contract. A divorced woman cannot re-marry her former husband until she has become the wife of some other man who at the end of 24 hours may repudiate her and and the Cadi grants her a divorce so she may be united to her former husband. This naturally makes necessary the office of Ilullah, whose duty is to marry divorced women who have repented their act of repudiation and desire to remarry their former husbands. The opera opens with preparations for the arrival of the prince, who has just finished his college education and is in search of a wife. The Cadi has taken upon himself the duty of introducing the I'rince to the belles of the village in hope of pleasing him. Nadir, a banker's son, and Nouzema, a rich banker's daughter are seperated by accident in the street on the morning of their wedding, which leads to a misunderstanding, and a repudiation follows. The prince sees the vounir bride and at once falis desperately in love with her and bribes the Cadi to secure for her a divorce, which he doesNo sooner is the divorce grant ed tnan Nouzema repents her haste And is desirous of remarrvinir her raer husband. At this critical period the Ilullah s brought in to assist in bringing about the desire of both. During the first night, howevei the Prince seeing Nouzema asleep kisses her and escapes unseen. Nou zema at once accuses the Ilullah ol this unpardonable act and suinmom theentlre party to hear the accusation The complications arising from thi? kiss, the crime of which the Ilullah i: accused and its final satisfactorj settlement, give the foundation 01 which the comedy and . ludicrom situations are built into a clever story and an enchanting musical com it opera. -MORGAN.
