Saving Ninety Cents.

Old Boge was miserly old fellow. But
even misers have to die sometime, and old
Boge was at length called upon to pay that
debt which we all must pay. He was sick
unto death, finding partial recompense in
his sufferings from the fact that if he did
not eat anything something was being
saved. His physician told him that he was
rapidly approaching his end, and as he felt
within himself that he was rapidly ap-
preaching it, it was evident to old Boge that
lie must meet his end very soon.
. How long have l to live?" asked old
Boge, in faint voice
"Only half an hour said the physician
taking out his watch in business manner,
and added sis there any one you would
like to send fora clergyman for instance?"
Old Bogo mused lethargic way for
moment then started up as if sudden
thought had struck him, raised his feeble
hand and felt his emaciated chin, upon
which a two months beard had grown,
then whispered hurriedly, "quick, bring
me-bring me-a barber"
lHc DdrDer came, ana Olu BOge Salu,
"You -charge-ten cents-to shave-live
men ?"
eyes, that is our price, " said the barber.
What-charge to shave-dead meu?'
Gone dollar" said the barber, wondering
what he meant.
"Then-shave-me-quick," said old
Boge, nervously eyeing the watch which
the doctor held in his hand. He was too
weak to speak further, but the doctor in
terpreted Alright the question that was in
his eyes.
"Fifteen minutes" replied the doctor.
Old Boge made a feeble motion as with
a lather brush, and the barber was at work
in jiliy. He performed his task with neat
ness and dispatch, and although the sick
man had several sinking spells of an alarm
ing nature yet he bore up to the end.
When the last stroke of the razor was given
old Boge whispered in tones of satisfaction
"Thatll do-ninety-cents saved;" and
Immediately expired.

C5g3- A few days since there were several
persons in house where there was child
two or three days old-among them black
eyed boy of four summers. When the
grandmother soon after came in with the
baby in her arms, he was much pleased
with it, kissed it, and evinced every symp-
tom of delight; asked his aunt where she
got it, and was told she bought it of DR..
Adams then asked how much she gave for
it. She told him ten dolars.-He then
stood by her lap, on which the child was
sleeping, his eyes beaming with intense
satisfaction. The babe soon woke and
squalled vocferousy. Instantly his coun
tenance fell, and with utter disgust pictured
on his beautiful face, he turned around and
said
"Auntie, if was you, I'd take it back
to DR.. Adams and get my ten dollars back

CGTSO1l'S stellar OIL
FOR
ILLUMINATING PURPOSES.

The proprietor of this Oil has for several years
felt the necessity Of providing for, and presenting
to the public, as u substitute for the dangerous
compounds which are sent broadcast over the
country, an oil that is SAFE and BRILLIANT,
rious and costly experiments he has succeeded in
providing, and now offers to the public, such q
substitute in "CARSON'S STELLAR OIL" 1t
should be used by every family
lST, Because it is safe beyond a question. The
primary purpose in the preparation of STELLAR
OIL has been to make 1t PERFECTLY SAFE,
thus insurlng the lives and property of those who
use it.
I'D, Because it is the most BRILLIANT liquid H.
umnatOr now known.
Sd, Because 1t is more economical, in the long
run, than any OF the dangerous oils and fluids
now In too common use.
TIL, Because 1t is intensely BRILLIANT and
therefore economical, giving the greatest posi-
BILE light at the least expenditure to the consum
er Its present standard of SAFETY AND
BRILLIANCY will always be maintained,-for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining
the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now
enjoys.
To prevent the adulteration of this with the ex-
plosive compounds now known under the name OF
Kerosene, &c, &c, it put up for family use in
Five Gallon cans each can being sealed, and
stamped with the trade. mark of the proprietor; it
cannot be tampered with between the manufac-
turer and consumer. None Is genuine without the
TRADEMARK.
STELLAR OIL is sold only by weight, each can
containing five gallons of six and a half pounds
each, thus securing to every purchaser full meas
ure 1t Is the duty and interest of all dealers and
consumers of Illuminating oil to use the STELLAR
OIL only, because 1t alone Is known to be safe and
reliable.

FRIEND SHATTUCK:
Asst is often remarked that " Kerosene is the
cheapest Illumination in the word" without any
certain experience on the part Of those that make
such an observation, let reclte from actual ex-
perience how much it c SITS to use " DEVICES NON
EXPLOSIVE KEROSENE" which by the way, from
its transparent and absolutely cOlorless body, and
its comparatively ron-odorous quality, it recon-
II ends itself TO every tidy housekeeper, and by my
cwn family considered superior TO any Oil we have
aver had. On the 25th Of Dec. last purchased OF
you 10 gallons Of Devoe's Oil, cost 500, on the
18th of Feb, last it used up. Upon an average,
FIVE lamps were used each night, for five hours
each from the 2sth Of Dec, TO the 18th Of Feb,
inclusive rs &c nights OF five hours, equal to
go hours of lamps. or 1850 hours Of lamp, or
81 cents for lamps hours or less than cents
night for each lamp burned hours.

not know where he find il, and at the same time
pay due regard safety and quality OF the oil used
