ON HOUSEHOLD NOTICES.
The Question Discussed by the Frequent
ers of a Isar-Roorn.

''Hyke, be you a-takin' to putin up
them there mottors?' inquired the man
who never went home. cycling the spat-
er-work sign. Peace and Prosperity,''
which Mr.. Hyke had newly hung behind
the bar.
Wal, now, it's amazin' how fashions
will git hold! They amt a house you
60 into, nor a store, neither, but what
the Golden Rule or the Commandments
is starin' you in the face from some
where's. Are the community Twin up
to EN- any bettern they used to, think?
1t seems TO me, Hyke, more like they're
kinder sneakin' out of it in this way,
like the Teller that writ his prars onto
a single SOS he could point to 'em cold
nights, n say: 'Them's my sentiments,
instid of gittin' to his knees. I've
noticed the more people amt Twin
up to a motor, the more it's
bound to be stuck up over their
chin bly-piece. When you go into a
house n set down n read: God Bless
Our Home- you kin take big odds it's as
bad in need Of blessin' as it ever bin of
white-washin'. N Love Yer Enc
mies!' Why, bless We, old Squire Skin
nam, he's got one of 'em up over his
writin' desk, n five lawsuits a-goin' on
with his neighbors. Love Yer Enc
mies.' My goodness, that do seem the
onlikeliest of EN- all; now. don't it? If
the motor said: Leave YoEr Enemies
Live; Don't Take EN- By The Neck n
Choke The Life Out of Emu you mought
say that were bad enough to tackle; but
love EN-? We find it blame hard enough
to love our near relations. l don't see
where our enemies is goin' to git the
ghost of a show. N Peace n Pros

Amt that redeck'lous? Still. it got
more dizziness hangin' behind the bar,
that's so, than it hev in front of it If
there's any peace n prosperity goin',
they amt lavishin' themselves on the
fellers in front The man benin hes
got the best look out, in that direction
We'll, now, you bin standin' up to
that bar, off n on. good many years"
retorted Hyke, in an injured tone. I
don't see as Peace n Prosperity has
neglected you SO awful bad"
Were it standin' up to the bar that
fetched 'em-think? Why. man, the
two dollars. or four, or ten. or whatever
1t mought be, that are comm to NE
every week from the business nv WIG
attends to, n that / kin spend as I
please, would frequentin' here ever
brung it into mypocket? Il fetch it out,
fast enough, as my wife often say to me.
If the females of this town she often
make the remark, were wimmin sech
as wimmin were intend to be, that
Teller Hyke, n others resemblin' him,
would be heayed in duck ponds
n rid on rails It's aston

kin sometimes express! I'm Jest a.
