Put q Brand on Him.

Women are necessary evil he said,
bringing down his fist hard on the counter
TO emphasize the heartleSS remark. It was
in the village store at Yves. Milton, Saratoga
County, and the speaker was The central
figure of group Of buchol;c philosophers.
He was homely, sloveniv and sixty.
"Thcre's where I differ from you ALTO
cether," said Mr. George 7. Graham, Of the
same place. "Womcn are mostly what men
make 'em. When husbands are bruteS wives
will fall into submission or make home hot
for the men aud they're unnatural in either
character. Love them, and especially pc
good 10 them when they're sick, and you'll
have no trouble. There's my own wife, now.
She's suffered good deal with dyspepsia,
nervous pvostration and other ailments that
took the bloom off her checks and the spring
out her steps. Well, she saw an advertise
mcnt Of "Parher'S Tonic" and thought it
would be just the thing for her case. Gentle
men, I sent five miles after bottle. She
took it. sent again after more. So several
times. Trouble Why, if you could sec how
much good it has done her you would say
that women are the greatest of Gods bless
tugs, and "Parker's Tonic" is the next.
This preparation, which has been known
as ''Psrker's Ginger Tonic will hereafter be
called simply sParker's Tonic.' This change
has been rendered necessary by substitutes
imposed upon their customers by nnprinci,,
pied dealers under the name of ginger; and
as ginger is really an unimportant favorins
ingredient, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prcpa'
ration itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name
of "Parker's Ginger Tonic contain the
genuine medicine if the fac simie signature
of "Hiscox & Co., is at the bottom Of the
outside wrapper, Nov. 29-lm.

WHY PAPA SLID OUT.-"Our cat
has wandered off again
Mr.. and Mrs. Popperman, with
their little daughter Ethel, we're
seated at the crowded dinner-table
the other evening, when the land
lady made the above remark.
One Of the boarders said: "Mrs.
Jones, if you will put grease on
your cats feet it will stay home"
"Grease?" asked Mrs. Jones.

Toward the close of the meal
little Ethel Popperman spoke out
loud enough for all to hear: "Mam.
ma, won't yo0 put some grease on

Miscellaneous. g

A You've JAY GoULD.-A fond
and doting mother had two cakes,
which she proposed to divide be-
tween her two sons. Fond as she
was, the mother, however, was
ionder of one of her boys than the
other, SO she said to the favored
one: "Here, take these cakes, my
son, and give your big brother the
smaller one of the two"
The boy took the cakes, and was
apparently in much doubt concern-
ing which was the smaller, so he
took O bite out of one, and again
compared them. Still he was un-
decided which was the smaller, and
accordingly took another bite and
then another, and finally turned
over a very small piece to his broth
er, saying:
s'There now, Tommy, I have
made one piece smaller than the
other, SO you will have no trouble
in getting what is coming to you.
The application of this well-worn
anecdote applies directly to the re-
lative positions of England and
France. Egypt represents the
cake which is to be divided be-
tween them. England is to have
the larger portion, France the small
ler, but by the time England gets
throug biting off bits at q time
the portion coming to France is
liable to be but small crumb.-

is observed. Instead OF brown. stain

you will see a bright row of polished

No trait of character is more val.
liable to a female than the posses
sion OF a sweet temper. Home can
never be made happy without it.
1t is like the flowers that spring up
in our pathway, reviving and cheer
ing us. Let a man 60 home at
night, wearied and worn by the
tolls of the day, and how soothing
is word dictated by good dis,
position! 1t is sunshine falling on
his heart. He is happy, and the
cares Of life are forgotten.

was remarked that cannon balls and shells

sudden light broke upon the officer in COM

E!Cochet into the trench. He called for q
