A Liberal Proposition.

Who has not heard of that paragon OF
family papers, the enterprising and pop
lar WEEKLY DETROIT FREE Press? For
a generation its name has been a house
hold word, and it has become synonym
for all that is excellent, pure and elevat-
ing in journalism. 1t is delightfully."- en-
tertaining without resort to cheap sensa-
tionalism,instructive without being profsy
or pedantic. Combining the literally
qualities of the expensive magazine with
the expensive magazine with the bright,
breezy characteristics of the newspaper,
it leaves nothing to be desired by the
average reader. It is looked upon as a
welcome visitor by every family who
reads it, while thousands regard it as in
dispensable and would on no account go
without it. An enormous circulation of
125,OO0 copies per. week attests its won
derful popularity. Recognizing the fact
that there are those who are unfamiliar
with its SURPRISING merits as home pa
per, the publishers offer to send The
Free Press to them for the balance of this

POINTS ON MEN AND WOMEN

WOMEN think more of fattery than
men, but they believe less Of It'll
mira Gazette.
A WOMAN loves all of a mans rela-
tives until after she has married him.
Atchison Globe.
A MANS idea of being good to q wom-
an is to give her opportunities to be
good to him.-Atchison Globe.
IT is human to err, and it is human
for your wife constantly to remind you
of it, too.-Cape Cod Item.
WHEN man does finally become so
good that he is patient with woman,
all the credit he gets is that people say
he is afraid of her.
THERE is q strong resemblance in
looks between the man who has been
drunk week and the woman who has
cried an hour.-Atchison Globe.
Some one says: 'Woman studies man
with regret; man studies woman with
amazement." The woman in this case
is evidently married and the man is not.

The following extract from a letter
written by J. A. Starbuck, of Yorktown
Iowa. speaks for itself. 1.-TWO years ago,
in harvest time, young man came in my
store and said he had been binding wheat
during the forenoon, and was so bad with
diarrhoea and collie pains, that he would
have to lay off unless he could get relief.
/ took bottle of your diarrhoea remedy
from the shelf; gave him dose; sold him
the bottle, and gave him the bottle, and
told him I would give him the money
back if it did no good. He came back
next morning and said the single dose
did its work SO well, that he not only kept
up his place during the afternoon, but
dad worked all night; and had the price
of the dose gave him been three dollars,
it would have been cheap. I would fur

SENSE IN SMALL PACKAGES.


WHATEVER comes to us through good
friends is a blessing.
PEOPLE are apparently never more at
tached than when they are using each
other.
SOMEHOW we never admire fine gen.
tleman; but how we do reverence fine
man.
THOUGH Time is called great healer,
he finally buries every one of his pa
tients.
THERE is not much difference between
what man Is and what he tries to
make other men out to be.
THERE is nothing more difficult than
to make a friend of foe; nothing more
easy than to make foe of friend.
A MAN will admit woman's rights
in everything else more cheerfully than
he will admit she has the right to be
jealous.
ONE good way of laying up for rainy
day would be to cultivate in your pros
perity the kind of people who are friends
in adversely.
The most pitiful thing in the world is
q quarrel between old friends; it is such
a convincing argument that the longer
people know each other the more apt
they are to quarrel.-Atchison Globe.

Still the Favor,te.

II you are contemplating trip for
business or pleasure it will be well to re-
member that the Burlington Route il still
the favorite. Her old established line
to Chicago hardly needs more than q mere
mention for the reason that every man,

familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule ELI
with its splendid Pullman Sleepers, chair
cans and dining cars.
Your attention is now called to our
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, st. Joseph and st. Louis
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to st. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account Of the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and ST. Jo-
seph in the morning, placing the passen-
ger In st. Louis in the early evening of
the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-.

FACTS FROM FoRElcn FARMS.


In Great Britain land bears ten and
one-haf per cent. Of taxation, while in
France it bears twenty, and in Hungary
thirty eight per cent.
THREE steamers from Syria and
Egypt recently unloaded at Marseilles,
France. 100000 eggs, 107 casks of yolks
of eggs, and 725 baskets OF fresh toma-
toes.
EIGHT boxes of butter made at the
Ballarat (victoria) juvenile exhibition
and forwarded to London, Eng,
brought $3.50 per cwt-. and is re-
ported to have closely approached in
quality the best Danish butter.
THE governor of Victoria, Australia,
has arranged to have practical ensilage-
making tests carried on in the govern
ment house grounds, by which It is
hoped that Victorian farmers will be
interested and make similar expert
ments for themselves.
The cultivation of sugar cane in ia
maica shows as steady decrease as
that of bananas does an increase. The
cause OF the abandonment of the sugar
estates is attributed to the low price of
sugar, and in some cases to the difficult
ty of obtaining labor.
FRUIT growing on irrigated lands in
Victoria, Australia, is having marked
success. From sixteen acres of vines
twenty-five tons of raisins were made
last season, and the effect of irrigation
on fruit trees which are lust coming to
maturity is highly satisfactory.
