Almost O TRAGEDY.

A big six foot fellow came into Hunts
store one morning this week, and asked
one of the clerks where Hunt was. The
clerk pointed to the back part of the store
where Hunt was engaged in drawing three
cents worth of eighty cent mOlasses from q
barrel marked forty cents, and said, THAT
is Hunt down there" "What that little
dried up black cuss, that amt Hunt is it?"
The clerk assured him that it was Hunt and
asked him what was the matter. 'Well
hardly know what is the matter. About a
month ago my old woman was i'm town and
he sold her some Of his Git thar Eli tea
and coffee and some other groceries, and
ever since she has acted queer-like, is all
the time talking about Hunts tea and coffee;
she gets dreaming nights and hOllers out in
her sleep, Take me back to Hunts and
That Hunts daisy and lots of such stuff,
and last Sunday we went to church, and 1t
was mighty warm and the sermon was long,
and she got to sleep, and the preacher was
just saying, Il tell you brothers and sisters
that everything i'm this world is changeable'
when she hollered right out Hunts tea and
coffee are always the same and don't you
forget It,. kicked the old woman in the
shins and woke her up, but everyone was
on the grin, and il just busted the meeting
all up, and made up my mind that Hunt
had mashed my old woman, and she was
dead-gone on him, and came down town to
pulverize him, but when l see that little
dried-up, black, specimen | made up my
mind was off the track, and that it must
have been the TEA. There's Deacon Jones'
wife and lots of other women In the neigh
borhood he has sold his tea to, act worse
than Marian so 1t must be the tea. / had
noticed how much better, clearer and
"a 4 a..
having, but / couldn't see no sense in the
old wOman's making such fool of herself"
The clerk assured him 1t was the tea, and
that everybody who tried 1t was as pleased
with 1t as Maria, and the old man went
away happy.
Moral. Use only Hunts tea and coffee
IL you would be happy.

How TO Breathe

The following heretofore unheard OF
information in regard to the breath
and breathing was made public in
Kentucky recently by school boy OF
II years. who wrote AN essay on the
subject
1--WE breathe with our lungs. our
lights. our xidneys and our livers. IL
IL wasn't for our breath we would die
when we slept. Our bre 9TH keeps the
life a-going through the nose when we
are asleep. Boys who stay in n room
all day should not breathe. They
should wait until they get out In the
fresh air. Boys Ia "a room make bad
air called carbonicide. Carbonicide Is
as poison as mad dogs a lot OF SOL
ders were once in black hole in Cal
cuuta. and carbonicide got in there and
killed them. Girls sometimes ruin the
breath with corsets that squeeze the
