How johnson Got Rid of His sassafras
Sprouts.

Mr.. Rhinehart's plan of inviting
in his neighbors to dig up sassafra~
sprouts in his field, as mentioned by
cur WoOdford correspondent, "Din-
gle," few days ago, brings to our
mind how Clark Johnson got rid OF
his sprouts. Clark had bad lot of
them, and he took the trouble to in
form the newspaper reporter that
sassafras sprouts would keep the flee
bugs off the plant beds, that he
had tried it with unfailing success.
The bugs were mighty bad after
Young plants and were cleaning of
the beds. The very moment Neigh
Dor Harris read the statement he
dropped the paper and put off to see
Clark Johnson about the sprouts and
made bargain to grub the field for
the use of the sprouts to cover his
plant beds. Other neighbcrs called,
but Mr. Harris was in ahead of all,
and he cleaned the field. After it
was done, the neighbors told Mr..
Harris that there was no virtue in
the sassafras, that Johnson had stated
that he had the yarn published just
to get the bushes grubbed out. Mr.
Harris got on his ear and declared he
would whip johnson on sight. AT
ter cooling off and thinking over the
matter, he concluded that it would be
no credit to him to whip a man OF
Johnson's size and he would let il
pass, but wouldn't speak to him. 1t
turned out that Mr.. Harris had the
finest plant beds in the county, not
fly could Be found about them. He
planted his crop early and had plants
to spare for Johnson and other neigh
bOrs.

Anything that will reduce the rattle
and vibration Of the ordinary railway
car IL a boon 70 the travelling ,nan. A
new appliance which is said to possess
this qualification in n marked degree is
the cushion car wheel. which has the
additional advantages of being simple,
safe, economical and noiseless. The
wheel is composed of two parts, the
center and the tire, while between the
two is thick rubber band which acts
as a cushion to absorb all the vibra-
tons.
The tire is so made that it may be re-
moved without taking the wheel from
the axle. The rubber is so placed be-
tween the center and the tire as not to
be liable to injury from hot box or
from the corrosive action of the lubri-
cants. The rubber will run 20, 900
miles without showing the slightest
signs of wear, and in a similar distance
the wear of the tire is but one-thirty-
second of an inch, which is less than
one-half the usual wear for this amount
of travel. Philadelphia Press.

storks came and nestled on the roof OF
