Interested In the Sea Lion.
cleveland Herald. J:

At Forepaugh's circus the other night a
young married woman was looking at the
animals with her husband, having left the
baby aC home with the nurse. You know
what ridiculous noise the sea lion makes.
Well, the sweet young mother listened at the
noise until she got nervous, aud then she
said to her young husband: 81 wonder, pet,
why they don't put some goose oil on that
sea lions neck 2" He looked at her as
though he would eat her, and anybody
would have done the same, and asked
''Why, darling, what should they put goose
oil on his neck fori" She looked at him in
a cunning, kiss-me-b before you breathe sort
of way, and said: "Don't you notice what
a croupy cough the sea lion has got 2" The
only thing he could do was to buy her a
glass of red lemonade, and they went into
the circus tent to see the oxen.

delaware Democrat
We have talked with farmers from various
sections of the county this week and we
have yet to hear the first one say that he
thought peaches were injured. The general
opinion is that the buds had never had a

WE WILL NOT
PROMISE TOO MUCH

In laying our claims before the public for
their patronage. 1t is the aim of the
manager of the MISFIT PARLOR to in
dulge in neither wild rhetoric nor exaggera-
tions. 1t does not do to promise more than
you can fulfill. The public soon learn to
take pretentious statements at their true
value, and the result is trade is often lost by
promising too much. Our aim is to surprise
by the other extreme-we wish to give the
public something better than It really ex-
poets. Our aim in advertising is to call at
tention to our place, leaving the goods and
the prices 10 speak for themselves. We pro-
mise Clothing of fine imported fabrics lower
than others are asking for much inferior In
material make and style. Instead OF
making a grand show we try to combine
liberality to the public with wise economy,

simply because l married lady with cast Of
color lighter than myself which consider unle-
gal reproach and which has no justification in
the sight of God, our creator, and justiher of all
earthly things. Very true, l, like many others, in
my younger days met with a misfortune, but, alas!
years have passed since then, and since that time
/ have marked n reforming course on the chart of
life and that course have retained until the pres

should not interfere with tho grant of tho

hold patent for the lands In controversy.
