Thomas Hood rdiculed the old maxim. "when

eating 1t seems TO is to yourself OF being
hungry, and man who has disease is very foolish
to take half bottle of medicine and leave some Of
the old aches behind when he knows that II he
takes the whole bottle he will be perfectly cured.
The wise man eats until he has had enough. and he
never has enough until he to be hungry.

The historian Froudc Colonel Iugcrsol. Of Illinois.

1t was about two O'Clock in the after
noon, when We myself and the rest of
the family)toOk the cars for L. We had
net been seated long before very large
woman, with small poodle dog in her
arms, came in. She fondled and caressed
the dog as though it were a child. She
was there some time, when Fan, the poo
die, ran down to our end of the car, and
after whistling and calling to it in vain
for some time, the lady had to come af-
ter it. She made many attempts to re-
gain the favor of the poodle, but it APP
peared strongly inclined to remain with
his new acquaintance. She made sun
dry promises OF pie and cake, but all
coaxing was useless, as Mrs. Poodle was
not to be coaxed; so my lady had to sit
down by US, much to my displeasure
Well, after talking about how uncommon
a dog poodle was, she at last changed the
subject and began to talk about her home
which, she said, was not far distant. She
did seem as if she had two tongues, for
she kept up constant CHATTER, chatter all
the time, and between her tongue and
Fans yelping was nearly crazy. On
arriving at the next depot, the conductor
called out the name of the place, and she
cried out, "What dye call it, misther"
On answering her inquiry, the man went
off laughing and the lady informed US
she must travel little longer She
smoothed her dress, fixed her bonnet and
again began her chatter. Her tongue
went nearly as fast as the wheels of the
steam engine; and I must not forget to
add that Fan kept up yelping bark all
the while that her mistress talked. At
length we came in sight of her stately
mansion, (Which was no other than log
hut. "OhI" she cried, there's Father
Jackson and Mother Thunderbolt, and,
as live! if there don't come Betsy Jane
with the baby Martha, and there comes
Peter for my trunk, and there's Jimmy
at work IN the barn. wonder if he ever
remembers his sister Dorothy Draggle-
tail Quincy" The train stopped just
then and after gathering up her baggage,
she bid us adieu; but just as she got TO
the door she remembered Fan, "Whew,
whew, whew, here Fan, come pet, pre-
cious doggy" and with that she left us to
finish our journey in peace.

The necessity of a regular market
dav," or two such days, each week in
Emporia is getting more evident every
season. All the large cities have regular
public market days, at a regular place,
where all who have anything to sell at
auction, or directly from their wagons
or in any other way, will bring it, and
all who want to lay in their fresh vege-
tables, fruits, eggs, ETC., buy live stock,
household goods, or other articles, will
come with their cash in their pockets,
ready for bargains. Thus the seller and
the buyer are brought directly together,
the city people go home with their mar
ket baskets full and the farmers settle
their store bills, pay up their newspaper
accounts, and take some surplus dollars
home in their pockets.
In order to start market day." H. B.
Lowe, of the Central Livery Stables, and
H. w. Pearsall, the auctIOneer, announce
to-day, in an advertisement, that they
will begin, Saturday the 18th, general
auction at the Central Stable, on 5th
Avenue. They invite the crowd, and ii
be will there. Whatever you want sold,
or want to sell yourself, take it there
whatever you want to buy, go there on
the 18th for it. The Saturday auction
and general sales being established, 1t
will be easy to work up full market,
for the sale of country produce at an
early hour, and live stock and other
sales during the forenoon and afternoon.
Mr. Lowe has extensive facilities, and
very central location, and Mr.. Pearssl is a
very successful auctloneer. They mean
business, and we hope a general and
lively public market day will be the
result this coming spring.
