Wooling A Schoolmarm.
"Yes," said the young man, as
he threw himself at the feet of the
pretty school mistress, "I love you
and would go to the world's end for
you."
"You could not go to the end of
the world for me, James. The world
or the earth, as it is called, is round
like a ball, slightly flattened at the
poles. One of the first lessons in
elementary geography is devoted
to the shape of the globe. You must
have studied it when you were a boy.
"Of course I did, but - "
"And it is no longer a theory.
Circumnavigators have established
the fact."
I know, but what I meant was
that I would do anything to please
you. Ah, Minerva, if you knew the
aching void -
"There is no such thing as a void,
James. Nature abhors a vacum; but
addmitting that there could be such
a thing, how could the void you
speak of be a void if there were an
ache in it?"
"I meant to say that my life will
be lonely without you; that you are
my daily thought and my nightly
dream. I would go anywhere to be
with you. If you were in Australia
or at the North Pole I would fly to
you. I - "
"Fly! It will be another century
before men can fly. Even when the
laws of gravitation are successfully
overcome there will still remain,
says a late scientific authority, the
difficulty of maintaining a balance -
"Well, at all events," exclaimed
the youth, "I've got a pretty fair
balance in the bank, and I want
you to be my wife. There!"
"Well, James, since you put in
that light I - "
After The Shooting.
Amber Pete - "Yes, stranger, we
found out the 'Human Ostrich' in
the side show was a fraud. I tell
you we made it warm for him."
Tourist - "But I guess he is still
showing as the 'Human Ostrich.'"
Amber Pete - "Hardly stranger,
hardly. It is more likely that he is
billed as the 'Human Porous Plaster.'"
No wise person will ever neglect
a cold or cough. They will often
[run?] into Pneumonia or Consumption
so quickly that their first
symptoms should induce you to
take Dr. King's New Discovery
and avoid all risks
HIS EXPERIENCE.
Enpeck - "Nature is more powerful
than art."
Singleton - "Because why?"
Enpeck - "Well, my wife can't
reach half way to high C when she
tries to sing, but the minute I do
anything that doesn't suit her ladyship
her voice immediately soars
several notes above it."
Orators are not always successful.
Daniel Webster got 14 electoral
voice when Martin Van Buren received
170. When Andrew Jackson,
who couldn't talk, received 219
votes. Henry Clay had only 49.
When Abraham Lincoln, was given
180 electoral votes, Stephen A.
Douglas, the orator, had only 72.
THE EGOTIST.
Thus he speaks unto himself
As he wanders slowly by
And beholds his neighbor's faults;
"Such a spotless man am I."
Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
the masterpiece of the most marellous age of Discovery and invention

Kitty - I don't think I can ever
care for Fred again."
Bertha - Why not? I thought
you and he were very much in love
with each other.
Kitty - So we were; but last night
Fred told me I was the first woman
he had ever loved.
Bertha - I should think that
would make you very happy.
Kitty - On the contrary, it makes
me miserable. It is so awful, you
know, to think that a man begins
his love making with you at a time
when he has had no experience. It's
no compliment to your attractiveness,
don't you see?

All coughs, colds and bronchial
troubles are relieved at once by
Dr. King's New Discovery, and
cured by it more quickly than by
any other medicine in the world.
Consumption in New York State.
Consumption is losing its terrors.
According to New York state authorities,
from 50 to 75 per cent of
cases can be cured if taken in time.
There are now at least 60,000 persons
in the state in various stages
of consumption. Fifteen thousand
die every year, and 15,000 new
cases take their places. The devastation
by the fatal germs can be
measured by a comparison with
the war in the Philippines. In a
year and a half bullets, disease andthid
the normal death here claimed
about 1,200 soldiers. This total
troubles the national mind. But
the burial yearly of 15,000 victims
of a curable and preventable malady
at home is taken as a matter
of course. The conclusion of the
New York State authorities is one
that has been demonstrated for
many years. The multitude[s?] of
those, who have been cured of this
awful plague by Dr. King's New
Discovery for consumption are
living witnesses to the fact that
this dreaded disease has net its
conqueror in this grand medicine.
:
HIS REWARD.
"And don't you believe in sharing
with another, Ostend?"
"No, ma'am! Last time I gave
baby brother half of my jelly-cake
I had to give half of the money in
my bank to pay the doctor's bill."
EVIL OF FABLES.
"What do you think of fables,
Halton?"
"Not much. My youngest read
one in his class book and then came
home and gave the old hen gold
paint in her corn. Thought she
would lay golden eggs."
IT WOULD SEEM SO.
Hix - "Has your friend Wederly
a hobby?"
Dix - "Well. I wouldn't call it a
hobby. It's more like insanity."
Hix - "How's that?"
Dix - "He's been married five
times."
Wanted To Meet Him.
Suburbanite - "I went out to look
at that piece of property you advertised
as being a stone's throw
from the depot."
Real Estate Agent - "Well?"
Suburbanites - "All I've got to
say is that I'd like to meet the
man who threw the stone."
IN THE RANKS.
"Suppose the last man on earth
isn't an undertaker. Wouldn't that
be terrible?"
"Not if there are any cigarettes
around. They will put any man in
his grave."
An Apt Illustration.
"I see so much in the newspapers
about subsidies. What does
a subsidy mean, John?"
"A subsidy, Mary, is where I give
you $20 for going to see your mother
instead of having her come to
see you."
HOPELESS CASE.
Merchant - "Didn't you call on
Owens to-day?"
Collector - "Yes, sir."
Merchant - "Did he pay anything
on account?"
Collector - "No, sir, I couldn't
even get him to pay any attention
to me."
PESTS OF TRAVEL.
Ida - "Cousin Harry has just returned
from Europe."
May - "Indeed! Wonder if he
saw any whales during the voyage?"
Ida - "No; but he says he saw
plenty of sharks in the poker room
of the ship.
GLAD IT'S OFF HIS HANDS.
H. N. Lester, who is publisher of
the Syracuse (Kan.) News, writes:
"Without any solicitation I want
to say a word in commendation
of Bucklen's Arnica Salve. For
two years I was troubled with
Eczema in the plams of my hands.
Doctors said it could not be cured.
I tried all kinds of patent medicines
salves without effect,
until I used Bucklen's Arnica
Salve. After using three boxes
my hands were perfectly cured and
as well as [over?].
HE FAILED TO GUESS IT.
Mrs. Hix - "Why is a husband
like dough?"
Mr. Hix - "Because a woman
needs them both, I suppose."
Mrs. Hix - "No; it's difficult for
a woman to get either off her hands

Young men take a noble stand
in life's great work. The more
nobly the young man conceives of
this world, the more noble will be
his life. - Phillips Brooks.
Fold the arms of thy Faith, I say,
but not of thy action; bethink thee
of something that thou oughtest to
[lo.?] and go and do it, if it be but
the sweeping of a room, or the preparing
of a meal, or a visit to a

thy work. - George MacDonald.
Man's highest art is that by which
be fashions for himself a vision

nature which is God. Wherefore,
our vision of the perfect is
God's surety that such a thing
must be. - J. W. Chadwick.
Consecration is not the act of
our feelings, but of our will. Do
not try to feel anything. God is
working in you to will, whether
you feel it or not. He is giving
you power at this moment to will
and to do His good pleasure. Believe
this, and act upon it. - Meyer.
Resignation, - not to a whirlwind
of inexorable forces, not to
a brutal fate or destiny, not to
powers who cannot see or hear or
feel, but to One who lives forever,
and who loves us well, and who
has given us all that we have, aye,
life itself, that we may at his bidding
give it back to him - Liddon.
The old Greeks said that a man
had two ears and one mouth, that
he might hear twice and speak
once; and there is a great deal of
good sense in it. You will find
that if you will simply hold your
peace you will pass over nine out
of ten of the provocations of life.
- Henry Ward Beecher.
Do right and God's Recompense
to you will be the power of doing
more right. Give, and God's reward
to you will be the spirit of
giving more; a blessed spirit, for it
is the spirit of God himself, whose
Life is the blessedness of giving
Love, and God will pay you with
the capacity of more love; for love
is Heaven, - love is God within
you. - F. W. Robertson
A crystal is sometimes formed
in the embrace of a boulder of
granite. To clear it of its rough
enclosure, and to bring its beautiful
facets to the light nature submerges
it in deep waters, shatters
it by tempests, and abrades it by
contact with stones and mud and
rubbish of the sea. Thus a redeemed
soul is by the hand of God
immersed in the cares and toils
and enticements and usefulness of
a world of sin, so that by sheer resistance
to evil, and abrasion with
depravity, it may be polished to
the transparent image of him who
made it - Austin Phelps, D. D.
WHY HE GROWLED.
The farmer had told the tramp
to search the shed for some cold
biscuit.
"But don't strike a light," warned
the farmer. "I won't risk having
the place burned down."
"Then I can't look for de biscuit,
boss," said the tramp.
"Why not?"
"Well, de last time I searched in
de dark I ate a lot of dog biscuit,
an' got de hydrophobia from hearin
meself bark."
The Cute Butcher.
The story is told of a cute butcher
who went to a lawyer and said:
"If a dog came into my market,
and ran away with a piece of meat
worth $2, what redress have I?"
"Find out who owns the dog," replied
the lawyer, "and collect $2
from the owner." Then the butcher
laughed and said: "Well, your
dog did that. You owe me $2." The
lawyer gave him the money and as
the butcher was about to depart,
called him back. "Now," said the
lawyer, "you owe me $5 for legal
advice," and the butcher paid it.
You Don't Have To Suffer
The annoyance, the pain, the
misery of Piles, no matter how long
you have had them or how bad they
have become. Here's the proof
from M. Pratt, of Knoxville, Tenn.
"I was troubled for years with itching
piles; had tried many remedies,
but got no relief until I used Bucklen's
Arnica Salve After one
week's use the trouble ceased and
has never returned," Sufferers
from any form of piles will find a
world of comfort in a 25c box.
Her Prospects Good.
"Do you think he can support
you in good style after you are married,
dear? I hear he is worth
nothing."
"I know Harold isn't rich, [mam-ma?],
but he has his life insured for
$30,000, and I could get along quite
comfortably on that.
SWEETLY SHY.
I begged to tie her russet shoe
Whose lace was hanging down,
But red she blushed, and quickly
drew
Her foot beneath her gown.
I thought, "How sweetly shy this
maid,"
When whispered cousin Trix
"No wonder she refused your aid,
She wears a number six!"
Drive Out His Fears.
When winter's storms rage on
bleak, wet weather prevails, making
colds and grip common, how many,
with weak lungs, are filled with
dread; but there is an unfailing
remedy for such maladies, which
banishes fear of them, as O. H.
Downey, Press Correspondent, of
Ohurubusco, Ind. has learned; "I
wish to state," he writes, "that Dr
King's New Discovery for Consumption
is one of the most valuable
and infallible remedies, that
ever came under my notice, for
Grips and Colds. It not only cured
me, but it prevents the advance of
the disease so feared by those, who,
like myself, have weak lungs. The first does always relieves me and I
can now get refreshing sleep at
night . Dr. King's New Discovery
always gives me courage when Grip
and Colds are epidemic."
Shop Talk.
The Saw - "The Auger manages
to get around a great deal."
The Hammer - "Yes, but he's an
awful bore."
It Happened In Kansas.
A rural editor, after devoting two
columns to a local wedding, wound
up as follows:
"May the pathway of the happy
couple be strewn with roses as they
walk hand in hand down the rapidly
flowing stream of life."
WISE BEYOND THE YEARS.
Young Cheekleigh - "Sir, I wish
to marry your daughter."
Old Gotrox - "But she is only a
schoolgirl of 12."
Young Cheekleigh - "I am aware
of that, sir; but I came early to avoid
the rush."
Touching Appeal.
Beggar - "Please, sir, won't you
give a poor man a nickel?"
Pedestrian - "Can't do it. I'm
broke."
Beggar - "I'm sorry to hear that
sir. But can't you give me some of
the pieces?"
Takes.After His Father.
Growells - I wonder what makes
[that?] boy cry so when the nurse is
[?ng?] to wash the dirt from his face?
Mrs. Growells - Oh, I suppose he
[?s?] after you.
Growells - Now, what do you
[mean?] by that?
Mrs. Growells - He wants the
[?n?]
Why She Was Confidential.
Forgive me, my dear," said the
[?ip?] humbly, "but I thoughtless
[mentioned?] to Mrs. Brown the
[?gs?] that you told me in strict
confidence."
There is nothing to forgive,"
[?ied?] the wise woman pleasantly
[?] was for that very purpose that
[?id?] then to you in strict confidence."

Saved When Hope Had Fled.
"I had a severe attack of Typhoid
fever about six years ago,"
writes J. W. Crowder, of Adrian,
Mo., "It left me in a very bad condition.
I had no strength and no
appetite. I doctored with local physicians,
but failed to get any benefit.
I felt that my time had about
come, especially as my age (74) was
against recovery, and I had given
up all hope, when I happened to
be reading in your almanac about
the cures effected by Electric Bitters,
and decided to try a bottle
I soon felt better, and four bottles
have worked wonders for my health.
I have not felt as well for years as
I do now. I seem to have got a new
grip on life in spite of my age." -
Perhaps A Creme De Chicken.
"Waiter, are you sure that they
put a fresh egg in this golden fizz?"
"Yeas sah!"
"Then how is it I find these feathers?"
"Doan know, sah, unless yo' got
a cocktail by mistake."
UPS AND DOWNS.
Soon commencement days will come
And the graduates with ease
Will act just like thermometers -
They'll get there by degrees.
BEST PILLS EVER SOLD.
J. A. Hutto the veteran druggist
of Livingston, S. C., wrote on June
17 last. "In all my experience as a
druggist I have never sold pills
that equal Dr. King's New Life
Pills. They are the best, and give
the best satisfaction of any pills I
over handled." This opinion [re?osives?]
universal endorsement from
all who try them.
VERY APPROPRIATE.
English Tourist - "Why is the
American sleeping car called a
Pullman?"
American Traveler - "Well, between
the tariff rate and the porter
it' a case of pullman for all he's
worth. See?
SEEMED LIKE A MIRACLE
The astounding recovery of Mrs.
Wm. Atwell, of Atlantic City, N.J.,
was an immense surprise to her
friends and physicians. she tells
how her life was saved as follows:
"a very hard cold settled on my
lungs, causing a most obstinate
cough, that no medicine I took
would relieve. During three years
I suffered untold misery, my lung
trouble growing worse all the time;
finally my doctor sent me to Florida.
After one year there I was worse
than ever, and he sent me to a lung
specialist, who examined me and
said I had let my trouble run too
long, and that nothing, could cure
me. At this time a friend, advised
me to use Dr. King's New Discovery.
After taking it for six
months, I felt better than I ever
did. I am well now, but would not
be without it, for many times it's
cost. All those, whom I advised
to use it, believe with me that it's
the best medicine in the world.
ONE MAN'S WISDOM.
New Clerk - "That young lady
in front wants to look at some rings
exactly like she has on. Says she is
thinking of purchasing a duplicate
for her sister."
Old Jeweler - "Huh! You needn't
waste any time on her. The ring she
has is an engagement ring, and she
merely wants to find out what it
cost."
Minister Seeks To Aid Men.
Rev. C. J. Budlong,
of Ashaway,
R. I. would make
even his own suffering
a means of
helping men, by
telling what cured
it. He writes:
"I desire to call
the attention of
[all?] mankind to
the great virtues
of Electric Bitters. Since I was a
boy of twelve [?] have suffered every
Spring and [Autumn?] from liver trouble
and yellow [jaundice?], which
caused me [great?] [distress?]. Some
medicines I [tried?] [?] slight relief,
but for a real [?] all-around
cure Electric Bitters [?] [?e?] away and
beyond anything [?] used. I can
heartily [recommend?] [?] remedy as
a thoroughly [?] reliable
medicine."
[MILKMAID?] [?]
Into the [co??] [?] gay,
The [milkmaid?] [?] [?] to
day,
And [gathered?] [?] [?] [white?],
While the [?] [?] [?] out
of sight;
And even when the sunlight fails,
Again she hustles he milking pails,
And seeks in the cows with friendly
tails,
That fount of wealth that seldom
fails.
Ho! winds may blow and grasshoppers
hop,
And the bugs and blizzards may
take the crop;
But so lang as the stream of milk
don't stop,
The cow and the milkmaid will
come out on top. - Ex.
A RAILROAD MAN'S PRAYER.
Not long since an old railroad
man who drifted in a church where
a revival service was going on, was
asked to lead in prayer. He said:
"Oh Lord, [saw?] that I flagged
Thee, lift [up?] my feet off the
rough road and plant them safely
on the platform of the train of salvation.
Let me use the safely lamp
known as prudence, make all the
couplings on the train with the
strong link of Thy love and let my
hand lamp be the Bible; and, heavenly
Father, keep all the switches
closed that lead off on sidings
especially those with a blind end.
Oh Lord, if it be Thy pleasure,
have every semaphore light along
the line show the white light of
hope, that I may make the run of
life without stopping. And Lord,
give us the Ten Commandments
for a schedule; and when I have
finished the run on schedule time,
pulled into the great dark station
of Death, may [thou?], the Superintendent
og the Universe, say, 'Well
done, thou good and faithful servant,
come and sign the pay roll
and receive a check for Eternal
Happiness'"
A Level-Headed Merchant.
A. G. Lietsch is a leading merchant,
of Mount Union, Is. In a
recent letter he says: "I have used
Dr. King's New Discovery in my
family for some time, and have
found it excellent for Coughs, Colds
and like troubles. No other remedy
we ever tried has ever given near
the satisfaction that this medicine
does."
BUTCHERED AT THE DOOR.
"Is your canned-meat company
prosperous, [Job?]?"
"Very! We are going to erect a
five-story factory out in the country."
"In the country? Why, I should
think you would have such poor
facilities for obtaining slaughtered
horses?"
"Not at all! There is a grade-
crossing within twenty yards of the
factory."
POULTRY NOTES.
Give the hen an opportunity.
The hen is always your friend.
Hens will live fully one-half on
green or dry alfalia.
A lettuce patch will furnish excellent
grazing for chickens.
Little chicks suffer more from
vermin [than?] [anything?] else
Henhouse [?] [e?] warm in the winter
are [coo?] [?]
The [turkey?] [?] [?ed?] very successfully
with a [?] [?r?] a mother.
The little [chicks?] are some trouble,
but fried chicken is very delicious.
There is more clear profit in eggs
then any other product on the farm.
The Dominiques are good all-
purpose fowls but they introduce
very slowly.
If for no other purpose than home
use every [f?a??er?] should grow a
couple of [hundred?] fowls.
[Leghorns?] are the great layers,
but fanciers [soy?] that the Rock lay
well they are almost tempted to
give the Leghorns up entirely.
Hens need some willow brush,
clumps of gooseberry or currant
bushes or [rose?] bushes about the
premises for [?de?], where they can
take a dust [ba?h?] and to where the
chicks can retreat when a hawk
makes its appearance. The Sunshine
without some shade is too severe
on chickens.
IN THE BEGINNING.
When old Adam ran the universe,
Before the famous fall,
He was a power in politics,
Til woman spoiled it all.
She Was An Awful Sight
"Two years ago I was taken with
Erysipelas above my left eye,"
writes Mary M. Caven, of Greensburg,
Ky., "and my head and face
became so swollen that I was a
horrible sight to behold, and every
month I would have fits of nervous
prostration and spasms. I was treated
by three specialists, who are expert
physicians, but found no relief.
Finally, through seeing an advertisement,
I was led to try Electric
Bitter, and have been taking
them for some time with much
benefit. I recommend them now to
others as the best medicine I ever
used."
JUST AT DAWN.
Sixteen tomcats mixed in a fray
Out on the fence at the break of
day;
Just as the lamps and stars went
out
And only the form of a cop was
about -
Just at dawn!
Sixteen sashes on each dwelling
side
Fly on their pulleys away up
and wide,
Fly with the din of a mountain-
road train,
With clatter of woodwork and
rattle of pane -
Just at dawn!
Sixteen heads of dishevelled hair
Flung to the breeze of the new
crispy air;
Three of the sixteen caught by
the neck
Hurl out words like skippers on
deck -
Just at dawn!
Sixteen missiles - vases and books
Umbrellas, mats and brass curtain
hooks,
Sixteen lives extinguished with
pain,
But one hundred and thirty-five
still remain -
Just after dawn!
Dr. King's New Discovery is a
household delight. Children beg
for it on account of its nice taste.
WANTED - A MINISTER'S WIFE.
At last we have settled a pastor;
Now, really; I can't tell why
The people should be so hard to please
Or candidates prove so shy.
But the smart young man we have chosen
Is needing a partner for life;
Please notice our advertisement
Wanted - A minister's wife.
Wanted - A perfect lady;
Delicate, gentle; refined,
With every beauty of person
And every endowment of mind;
Filled by early culture.
To move in. fashionable life
And sjine a gem in the parlor;
Wanted - A minister's wife.
Wanted - A thoroughbred worker
Who well to her household looks -
Shall we see our money wasted
By extravagent Irish cooks? -
Who cuts the daily expense
With economy sharp as a knife,
Who washes and scrubs in the kitchen;
Wanted - A minister's wife.
Careful to entertain strangers,
"Traveling agents" and such;
of this kind of "angeles' visits"
The deacons have had so much
As to prove a perfect nuisance,
And hope these plagues of their life
May soon be sent to the parson's;
Wanted - A minister's wife.
To lead in the "mothers' meeting,"
The "sewing circle" attend,
At all the Sunday School picnics
Her ready assistance lend;
To play the organ on Sunday
Would aid our laudable strife
To save the society money;
Wanted - A minister's wife.
And so, if our efforts prosper,
We hope by working the two
To rebuild the church, to pay the debt,
Then we shall knowwhat to do;
For they will be worn and weary,
Needing a change of life,
And we'll advertise: "Wanted -
A minister and his wife."
