a Noteworthy Exception.

FROM tne klmDaii :. d., Grapnlc.
While the columns OF the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable ad-
vertisements, yet it is quite impossible
for us to speak knowingly of the merits
of the various articles OF merchandise
advertised. Particularly is this true of
patent medicines. But there are excep-
tions occasionally, and noteworthy
exception is the celebrated Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This now uni
versally known medicine has been adver-
tised in the Graphic for four or five
years, but not until recently had we
any personal knowledge of its wonderful
efficacy, which has come about through
the prevailing influenza and the stub
born cough that has so often attended
it. In the writer's family this medicine
has on several occasions this winter
cured cough that baftied any and all
other remedies; and the number OF fam
lilies in Kimball and vicinity in which
this remedy has been used with like
effects, attests to its value as specific
for coughs and colds OF every nature.

The Experience of Woman Who Does
Her Own Selling.
In walking through the markets
about a year ago l noticed some dressed
poultry and inquired the price, and the
answer was Fifteen cents pound" and
the thought came forcibly to my mind
truly there's profit in raising poultry,
but who makes the profit? Not the
producer nor the consumer, but the one
who bugs and sells. / had raised
chickens for the market great many
years, always selling them to poultry
buyers as soon as the broilers were
marketable. l made up my mind then
that what poultry l sold after this
would be sold direct to the consumer,
and have found by experience that is
the best way to dispose of poultry for
any one living near city market or
small town. There are always great
many people who would buy their
poultry every week, especially if
nicely dressed according to agree
ment. Every farmers wife who be-
lieves in equality for all and wants
her own pocket-b book, to spend the
look into these matters, and instead
OF disposing of poultry to the first
buyer who comes along, 60 into the
towns and solicit orders for dressed
poultry, selecting breed like
the Plymouth Rock or Brahma, or
any breed that has yellow flesh and
legs; then sort them after dressing,
putting all the young males into one
basket and all the dressed pullets in
another, and all year-old fowls of equal
size and weight by themselves.
A woman who can drive to the city or
village once week can readily dispose
of all she can raise, and buy all her
neighbours chickens, and when dressed
and delivered make quite nice profit
Help can be procured in almost any
place to dress poultry for five cents a
head. The chickens that are offered for
sale, generally, pass through two diff
ferent hands after leaving the farmers
yard; the buyer must have a profit,
likewise the seller. The farmers wife
with very little effort can dispense with
these two and have the profit herself

AN AppLE-PATED CHUMP.
How a Hair Drained Client Got His Law
yer Into Fix.


A funny incident occurred in connec-
nection with a patent suit being hoard
before Commissioner. The joke is on
the attorney for the defendant. but he
tells the story himself: MY client was
being sued for infringing patent. In
less all the mechanical principles pat
ented in the first machine are used in
tho second, there is no infringement.
There were six mechanical principles in
the plaintiffs machine, and my client
used only three of them. Therefore,
was confident of winning my case.
When the plaintiff was on the stand he
minutely described his invention, and
declared positively that machine using
only three of his principles could not be
made to work. My client said that 1t
did work, and had seen it work. ] said
to the attorney for the plaintiff: Come
up to our shop tomorrow, and l will
show you the machine and convince you
that it is a success. He agreed to come,
and | told my client so. Next day,
when we went to the shop, what was my
CONSERVATION to see that my client in
the meantime had so changed his ma
chino that it involved the use of all the
mechanical principles employed by the
plaintiff, and was practically the same
machine. | was almost speechless. and
the attorney for the plaintiff roared
with laughter. finally got mad enough
to say: What in the name of every
thing did you do this for?' Well, he
said, when the other fellow was on the
stand, he said his machine worked sc
