KEEp BOLTS ASn Screws on HAND
Every farmer should keep few bolts OF
different siz-s on hand. They can be
purchased of any desired size at reasona
BILE rates, and bolt will frequently save
a DAYS work. 1t is astonishing how much
can be done with few bolts and screws
in repairing ordinary Farm implements
and machines. Try it, and you will never
willingly be without them.

A Funny but Sensible Speech,

The Wisconsin Legislature had formally
considered a proposition to abolish all laws
for the collection Of debts. The mover Of
the bill, Mr.. Elmyre, is great wag, as
evinced by the following extract from his
speech on that subject:
The speaker proceeded to review the pres
ent system of collecting debts. 1t was all a
humbug and a cheat, matter of technical
tiles and legal shuffiing. Lawyers gave ad-
litigation Judges made blunders and mis-
takes. He had little experience in law
and that was rich. Laughter. He would
give a little history of it. The speaker then
related how he had purchased a yoke of OK
en- about fifteen years ago-paid fifty dollars
for them-a few days after, tie son of the
man of whom he had purchased the oxen
came to him and said they were his. He
insisted on having pay over again, and COM
menced a suit before a justice. The jury
didn't agree. Finally, through the Bass
wood Justice of the Peace, the case went
against him. He appealed it to the Circuit
Court in Milwaukee. There | lost again,
and said to my lawyer: | will give you ten
dollars TO quote Pennsylvania law to Judge
! Miller; and get new trial ordered. Great
| laughter. He took the ten dollars and per-
! formed his duty.
n new lTldi WIS lucil SldutSu, anu Vic NC-
nue. changed to Walworth county. Judge
Irwin was then on the bench. Any man
who wanted to gain a cause in his court had
either to go hunting with him and let the
Judge claim all the game that was shot, or
else pat his dog. Ipatted his dog. Laugh
ter l fed that dog crackers. Renewed
laughter. The case was decided in my ia
vor. When | heard the decision thought
the dog had followed me long enough
turned round and gave him kick: Laugh
ter. The yelp of the dog had hardly sub
sided ere | heard the Judge say 'Mr.
Clerk, this judgment is set aside and new
trial granted Great laughter; Mr.
Speaker, that kick cost me S200l You
have no doubt seen suit in justice court
in the country? There is time spent by ju-
rors and hangers on, besides other costs, at
least $50 besides the i'll feeling and dissen-
tions caused by it. 1t is all cheat. The
litigants had better sit down and play game
of old sedge to decide the case. 1t would
be more sure to settle the dispute justly.

a Lesson for Fast Young Men.

4 short time ago a man named Doctor
John w. Hughes was hanged at Cleveland,
Ohio, whose fate teaches salutary lesson.
He was man of good family, well educated,
had an honorable profession, and, at one
time, good social position. But he seems
to have ruined himself by liquor and bad
company. Under these influences he be,
came thoroughly demoralized. He was held
by no conscience whatever Having good
wife and child, he married another woman
almost in the presence of his family. For
this crime he was tried, convicted, and sent
to penitentiary, His injured wife procured
him a pardon for this but instead of being
grateful to her, he abused her in the most
false and heartless manner, and went off to
seek the woman be had injured. Having
found her, he deliberately shot her through
the heart because she refused to live with
him. For this he was tried and hanged.
On the scaffold he alluded to his advantages
in life his education, the wealth and posi-
ton of his family; but all these, he said, he
had allowed to be overcome by indulgence
in drink and bad company. What a lesson

FAITH

Have confidence, dear friend, in love,
And let thy doubts depart;
'Tis born in the bright realms above,
Close keep It'll thy heart
Twill soothe thee when distressed with pail
To know loved ones near,
Twill drive pale sorrow from the brain,
And dry the falling tear.
Oh. trust in friendships storied mi ght,
1t hath strange healing powers;
Its flow of sympathy e'er bright
Will soften life's glad hours.
Cast not the precious pearl aside,
Friends are not easy won
But follow her, whate' 'er betide,
Her lights radiant sun.
Center thy faith in the Divine.
Look t'ward home on high,
Where joy and peace serenely reign,
Where friendships never die.

to bed Let all Danish business and every
worldly care at bed time, and let sleep come
to mind at peace with God and all the
world.
