A NEW SwINDLE.-Another infam-

Gus swindle upon the farmers has been
unearthed and we publish it for the pro-
lection of our rural readers. 1t is con-
Quoted ustensibly in the interests of a
Chicago firm, but IN reality is the work
of pair of sharpers, who are said to be
collecting statistics for some sort of re-
port on agricultural products. They
send blank statements to farmers and
ask them to fill them out and sign their
names, merely for the purpose of veri-
flying the report. The next thing the
farmer knows the signature comes back
at the bottom of a promisary note for n
goodly sum. Don't sign papers for
strangers.-EX.

One of the handsomest and most
unique and original ideas in chromo-li-
biography is the Columbia Valentine,
just issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Co., of Boston, Mass. The design,
which is in twelve colors and mounted
upon a panel, is genuine work of art.
The picture, from painting by Cop
land, of Boston, is artistically divided
into three scenic sections: The first, a
view of early sunrise, with fine atmos-
pheric effect represents the whee'man's
morning ride; the centre scene, appro-
priately framed by the tire ofan Expert
bicycle, is striking beautiful view of
picturesque country, a lady riding upon
a tricycle. accompanied by mounted
bicyclist, crossing Il rustic bridge in the
foreground; the last scene is wheel by
moonlight, the bright rays of the hub
lights cutting the sens. darkness. Up
on the back of the panel the following
descriptive poem is tastfully printed :
FEBRUARY IA, 1885.
A picture of the early dawn,
When as hasten o'er the lea,
With boon companion of the morn,
l counsel hope, but think of thee.
A picture of the laughing noon,
When o'er the rustic bridge | ride
And dare interpret friendships rune,
For thou alone art 10y my side.
A picture when the day has fed.
And with it all my fears are gone,
And troops of stars by Astrea led
Are marshalled in the heavenly zone
The story morn and noon and night
Bear witness to my love and thine.
The moral they who choose Alright
Shall guard and prize my ralentine.
