There Is no excuse Tor the young
man who complains that his tiance
kisses him so much he can't get a
chance to engage her in rational con-
rerSation. He ought to know that by
rubbing 4 little sodium upon his mus
tachc the abuse can be speedily checked.
Sodium is substance which seems to
have been created especially to meet
such case as his. As soon as any
moisture touches it it bursts into flame.

was awakened by burglar opening 4

the house got out his pistol, remarking
to his wifs, Il am not quite sure this

ever, overheard the remark, and being
reader of the newspapers, and remem-
boring how many fatal accidents occur
from handling unloaded pistols, fled in
wild dismay, leaving his professional
instruments hehind him. Ttras SJi.

one dealer was the source of supply for
a large territory. capitalist from the
East suddenly bought up all the tobac-
co and whisky to be got hold of in the
State. There was no railroad communi-
cation; it was winter, and there was
no navigation, and everything promised
a big profit on the speculation. Prices
began to creep up. and settlers to in
quire and protest, and the capitalist
was rubbing his hands and holding on,
when something happened. He was
on his way to church one Sunday, when
he was seized by band of tough-look-
ing pioneers and carried to the river,
where hole already had been cut in
the ice. What is the meaning of this?
he finally asked. 1T means old prices

spokesman. Howl" They proceeded
to enlighten him. Two of the band
gave him duck into the water, and he
was plunged in and hauled out three
times before he got his breath and said:
