Ask your neighbors what they think of its
work. There is one in every neighborhood in
York county. The general reply is, l would not
be without one for double it's cost. Its results in
covering small grain, in speed and perfection,
are equal to the drill. The driver and two mules
can etfectually cover ten acres of wheat per day,
in cotton stalk on any cultivated land. Think
of it! The seeding season is near upon us.
Speak early and secure one. Apply to the un-

@" "How does man keep warm at the
North Pole ?" asked one of the little Sand
pipers, as he came home from school the
other night. 81 suppose" said his faith
er, grimly glancing toward the kitchen,
"that he marries one of your grandfather
daughters before he starts up there" "And
even then," said shrill female voice from
the kitchen, she doesn't always have sense
enough to 60 there" The boy didn't ex-
actly understand the explanation and it's
commentary, and he wasn't old enough to
know just what happened, but somehow he
felt it would be pleasanter and safer for him
to play on top of the roof of the house for a
little while.

b@ An editor in Chicago recently ordered
pair of trousers from the tailor. On try
ing them on they proved to be several inch
es too long. It being late on Saturday night
the tailor's shop was closed and the editor
took the trousers to his wife and asked her
to cut them off and hem them over. The
good lady, whose dinner had perhaps disa-
greed with her, brusquely refused. The
same result followed an application to the
wife's sister and the eldest daughter. But
before bedtime the wife, relenting took the
pants and cutting off six inches from the
legs, hemmed them up nicely and restored
them to the closet. Half an hour later her
daughter taken with compunction for her
unfilial conduct, took the trousers and, cut,
ting off six inches, hemmed and replaced
pangs of conscience and she too performed
an additional surgical operation on the gar
ment. When the editor appeared at break
fast on Sunday the family thought High
land chieftain had arrived.
A GENEROUS HUSBAND should hate
to have husband who 'lowanced me every
time wanted to buy anything" said Mrs.
Slimms. "When tell Slimms that wants
little change to 60 shopping with he
doesn't hum and haw as some men do. He
just takes out his pocket-book and says,
Certainly my dear; how much do you
want-a five or ten ?" "And what do you
sayo asked Mrs. Smith. ooh, never say
anything. He gives me the money right
off without waiting for me to answer"
'And how much does he give?" "A dollar
generally-unless he has some small change
handy. But then it isn't the amount that
care SO much about. It is the readiness with
which he responds to my request that makes
me think so much of him. ."-Boston Trans
