The Boss That Beats Them All.

Why is the Davis called the Boss
Machine? For the simple reason
that it does the work so much better
than other machines-as the work
manship of "boss," or master me-
chanic, is superior to that of an ap-
prentice. Just as the "boss" is SUP
posed to do things better than the
common workmen, so the "Davis"
machine does all kinds of work in
a manner entirely unattainable by
any other machine-hence the COM
mon expression so often heard-"1t's

The success in the growing Of
tame grasses in Kansas has been
gratifying this season. The acreage
has been much larger than ever be-
fore. Orchard grass, timothy and
red clover has been sown and all
have given satisfactory results. The
high price of seed has deferred many
from sowing. There should be next
season a large quantity of Kansas
grown seed. Let every farmer grow
some tame grass next year. 1t can
be grown and ought to be cultivated
more extensively. 1t will pay.

almost intolerable. The leg became enor

discharging great quantities of extremely

How to Drive a Horse.

Young man, | see you are about to
take drive and will offer you some
advice. Your horse is FESTIVE and wants
to be off before you are ready; you may
as well break him of this now as at any
other time, and hereafter you will find
it has been a half hour well spent.
just give me the reins, while you put
your foot on the step, as if to get in /;
the horse makes move to 60; tighten
the reins and say whoa" Now put
your foot on tho step again the horse
makes another move; hold the reins
and speak to him again. The horse is
getting excited. Pat him little on the
neck, and talk to him soothingly. Put
your foot on the step again, and repeat
this process until the horse will stand
still for you to get in, and adjust your
self in your seat, and tell him to 60.
A few such lessons will train him so
tina. he will always wait for orders be-
fore starting.
Now, as your horse has just been fed,
drive him at very gentle pace for the
first two or three miles, until he warns
up, and his body becomes lighter. But,
before you start, let me show you how
to hold tho reins. Take them in your
left hand, have them Of equal length
from the bit, and to cross each other in
your hand, the off side one resting on
your first finger, the other on the fourth
finger, the back Of the hand upwards.
Now, in guiding the horse, you have
only to use the wrist joint, which will
direct him either right or left, as you
wish. Keep your hand steady, with
gentle pressure on the Bit No jerking
or switching the reins. II more speed is
wanted, take the whip in your right
hand, to be gently used for that pur-
pose be careful not to apply il any
harder than is necessary to bring him up
to the required speed
Speak to him soothingly, and init
mate, in the most gentle manner, what
you want him to do, and he will try to
do it. So noble an animal should not
be handled roughly, nor over-drivon.
When you return, have the harness
removed at once, and the horse rubbed
down with wisp of straw or hay Give
him bite of straw or hay and let him
cool off before being watered or fed.
Every one who handles horse, or has
anything to do with one, should in the
first place cultivate his acquaintance
let him know that you are his friend.
and prove it to him by your kind treat
ment he needs this to inspire conf
dence, and when that is gained he is
your humble servant.
If your horse gets frightened ut any
unusual sight or noise do not whip him.
for il you do he will connect the whip
ping with the object that alarmed him.
and be afraid Of it ever after If hs
merely SHES at an object give him time
to examine it. which, with some encour
aging words from tho driver, will per
suade him to pass it. You get fright
ened, too, sometimes, and would not like
to be whipped for it.-.Stoct Journal.

Of them except the last three named were put
on trial and entered the contest.
There were no regularly appointed Judges,
but a general trial was given for the judg-
ment of all. A full and exhaustive and
clearly contested contest was had, and it ap-
peared that the WIZARD was decidedly the
fav0rite. In fact canvass made among the
spectators developed the fact that the follow
ing named gentlemen and many others express
themselves freely to the effect the WIZARD

Cough Cures.

This is the season when tho familiar
cough is heard on every hand, and every
one is suggesting remedy. We know
of two that are perfect cures. One for
children is to take half teacup whole
aaxseed, wash through three or four
waters and put in pan with two quarts
Of soft cold water. Let it cook till
slightly thickened, pleasant for drinking.
take Of, strain and add juice Of one
lemon and sugar to taste. Give warm
as much as child will take before going
to bed This will relieve in almost all
cases, but il after three or four trials it
fails, try the well-whipped white Of an
egg, mixed with one tablespoon sugar
and juice of lemon give half tea
spoon after each spell Of coughing, being
careful not to give too much or too often
as the pure juice of lemon is quite strong.
These are good for older people, but the
most effective cure is One once pressed
MULLEN Cor the leaves one-half ounce
pressed hoarhound, and one quart soft
water put on to boil; if necessary, add
more water When the strength is well
extracted, SO the syrup is as thin as mo-
lasses, or even thinner, take of, strain
and add one pint New Orleans molasses
and bottle for use. The dose is one
tablespoon four times day. or after

SORROWS SIGNAL.

-
by GEO. JACKSON RUSSELL.
Fast to the front door knob ii hung,
A snow-white, silken bow,
And fltful wintry breezes swung
Its streamers to and fro.
The letter-carrier on his. round
The fluttering sign deserted;
His heart recalled little mound;
lie turned away and sighed.
The signal caught womans eye;
Into her face there crept
A look of grief; as she went by,
She bowed her head and wept.
The gleeful children, on their way
To school, the ribbon saw;
At once they hushed their noisy play
And gazed around in awe.
"Step softly, please and shout no more"
A little maiden said
"Step lightly on going past the door,
The little baby's dead"
The pcddler, shouting loud his ware
In tones discordant, shrill,
Observed the fluttering ribbon there
And suddenly grew still,
A tender look passed DER his face,
A tear shone in his eye;
lie checked his horses noisy pace
And silently went by.
A man of books, sedate and wise,
Passed on to take the train;
The silken signal met his eyes,
lie stopped in sudden pain.
The meaning OF the sign he read,
That in the breeze did play;
"God keep my little one" he said,
And signing, went his way.
A wealthy banker passed the spot,
Its tale the ribbon told,
And for moment he forgot
To think of stocks and gold.
His heart recalled baby face,
BY kisses oft caressed,
A tiny form in creamy lace
Laid long ago to rest.
Thus men their brotherhood reveal
The common heart within,
When they that touch of nature feel
i'ss "rhat makes the whole world akin"

here say it, that we have never enter

over sixty lawyers and the latter
about six thousand. We shall not
be caught in either crowd. Some
times we pensively contemplate pur-

Railroads are missionaries; they
civilize then libcralize and then chris
tianize people.
West Virginia wants immigration
and capital, but before she can get
them she must have railroads.
We write and talk about our tim
Der, our coal, our iron, but what are
they worth to us if they must remain
forever under ground? What were
the Comstock lode and the diamond
mines Of South Africa worth TO the
people of the earth from the time of
Adam up to their discovery and de-
yelopment?
The tide of population, as well as
the tide ofdollars, follows in the wake
of the iron horse. Let us remember
that.
Why should Ohio or Pennsylvania
outstrip West Virginia in the race for
wealth and true greatness? Because
they have more internal improve
ments-more railroads.
What has made an empire out of
the great west2 Railroads and wide
