l
the past SIX months, reached home last

and we are glad to state that he made
a good record at Kemper, which is one

looks quite stunning with his cadet uni

ought to attend good military school.
A farmer near Hazelton, 40 years old,
and in good circumstances, advertises in
the Kansas City Times of June 18th for
a wife. She must be not less than sc
years old nor more than so; an old maid
or widow, with not more than one
child. If that farmer will send us his
! address, and allow us TO use it, we
think we can do something to increase
his letter mail for the next thirty days.
The farmer is happy man; his life
is free from care, with naught to make
his spirit sad OF make him want to
swear. Ali LAY among the cookie burrs
he daily grubs ana hoes, and money
never troubles him, unless It's what ne
owes. How sweet at noon to lie at
ease beneath some spreading tree, and
hold a secret session with an ardent
humble bee. And when your rheuma-
tism makes your legs refuse to 90, how
sweet 10 lie upon your back and watch
your mortgage grow.
