however, and, just about the time the bache- Tor went out of the cattle business by dis posing of 425 head to his rival in the lady's affections, she was granted a divorce Whether the divorce figured in the trade as a valuable consideration may not be suscepti- ble of proof, but it is freely claimed. that it did. The husband made trip to the county seat and took home the divorce and li- cense for marriage in the same pocket, and at the wedding of the happy couple he danced and ate cake, but drank no wine, as he seemed happy enough without it.

HECK FRS
PERFECT BAKING POWDER,
  A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 r:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the tsRoyal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com- missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 twill thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged. and the popular verdict so emphat- icaIly expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.
