BILL NYE on BUTTER.

Bill Nye. the igreat humorist, says
butter is the mature fruit of a full
blown cow. 1t is the greatest effort of
her life. The cow tolls, not neither
does she spin yet say unto you that
Solomon in all his glory could not
beat her on hand made, or rather milk
made butter. This subtle joke have
repaired and newly upholstered for
use during the winter.-,SoMhew Gtlti,
pator.
Any person who has been reading
the volumiuous reports on oleomarg-
arine, now coming from Congress
through almost every newspaper
in the country, will be apt to at once
fall to the conclusion that Bill Nye
has but vague idea of what butter
is, TO say the least. Bill is behind
the times. There was a day in his
youth when butter was exclusively
the fruit of The cow, and was harvest
ed in liquid state, but how different
in this age of progress, judging from
those recent reports. Nowadays it is
as much the fruit of the OK as of the
cow, and they can't wait to harvest

HINTS TO YOUNG MEN WHO WANT TO
MARRY.

Select the girl.
Agree with her father in politics,
and with her mother ia religion.
If you have rival, keep an eye on
him; if he is widower, keep two
eyes on him.
Don't swear to the girl that you
have no bad habits. 1t will be
enough for you to say that you never
heard yourself snore in your sleep.
Don't put much sweet stuff on paper
If you do, you will hear it read in
after years, when your wife has some
especial purpose in infiiciing
upon you the severest punishment
known to married man.
Go home at reasonable hour in
the evening. DON'T wait till the girl
has to throw her whole soul into a
yawn that she cannot cover with both
hands. A little thing like that may
cause GOODNESS at the very beginning
of the game.
II you sit down on some molasses
candy that little Willie has left on the
chair, while wearing your new sum
mer trousers for the first time, smile
sweetly aud remark that you don't
mind sitting on molasses- candy at all,
and that "boys will be boys" Heserve
your true feelings for future reference.
If, on the occasion of your first call
the girl upon whom you have placed
your young affections looks like an
lceburg and acs like quiet cold
wave, take your leave early and stay
away. Woman in her hours Of freeze
is uncertain, coy and hard to please.
Ia cold weather finish saying good,
night in the house. Don't stretch il
all the way to the front gate, if there
is front gate, and thus lay the foun-
dalion for future asthma. catarrh, TO

is fact. that DR. Nichols Saturday had

consulted the doctor, and large portion
of them received treatment. To those
unacquainted with the doctor, his Won
derful success may not be understood
but to the many hundreds of patients
whom the doctor has treated the past
four months it is no mystery His extern
sive prs ctice is simply owing to the fact
that he gives entire satisfaction. In fact
HE CURES HIS PATIENTS, and the good news
is passed around.
DR.. Nichols is physician. He has
had unusual advantages of education and
experience, both abroad and in this coun
try. and the unprecedented mind will read
