HTHE LITTLE JOKER"
A Scientific Joke on soiled Linen.

Some weeks since an "agent having for
sale the fright" on patent washing device
called the Little Joker" was here exhibit
ing one of the machines with the view of
selling the right for this county. 1t was such
u toy-like affair that 1t was distrusted, and
those who saw 1t were rather disposed to
treat 1t as very small joke indeed-perhaps
good enough to wash laces and handkerchiefs,
but nothing more. Mr.. Wilson, the agent,
however, rugged 1t up TO wash tub in
couple of minutes, putin hot water and soap,
q pair of socks, a greasy overcoat, lace col
lar, and silk handkerchief, started up the
Little JOKER" and in five minutes had the
batch rinsed and hung on the line-ctedra.
This was severe test. On ordinary clothes
il does the work in two or three minutes,
and does 10 well 1t Is easy to work; 1t does
not tear or rub the clothes; the operator need
not wet his or her hands, or soil their cuffs;
il washes better than can be done by hand,
and the device Is simple, strong and durable.
1t is merely atmospheric pressure and sue
ton applied to forcing and drawing the
water through the clothes, and the result is
remarkable. IT was examined by mechanic
cal experts and practical laundrymen, and
the conclusion was universally in its favor.
We believe that washing can be done with 1t
within one-fourth the time and with one
fourth the work required by the old meth
DDS, and If this Is so 1t will pay every family
to haye one. Mr.. J. r. Williams, at Holland
Il Estilrs, purchased the right for this coun-
ty, and now has the first lot of machines for
sale. We have no donbt he will give any
one the privilege to take machine and test
il thoroughly before purchasing. We be-
lieve 1t will rob washing day" of Its sting,
and dirt of It's victory. Mr. Williams will
be pleased to show the machine and its prac'
teal workings.

squeezes the road up against the hills. About
