She Wanted a Divorce.

A Dalles lady of the colored persuasion
accompanied by her husband entered the
sheriff's office Saturday morning and in
an excited manner asked to see that
functionary. Curg informed her that
he guessed he was the man she was look
ing for, and asked her what she wanted.
She replied 81 want divorce from this
man of mine and 1 want it right away.
For the past nine years he has done
nothing but drink and gamble and abuse
me till / won't stand it any longer"
The sheriff politely informed her that
across the hall, and the pair fastened to
the den of Clerk iCrossen, where the
woman repeated the same demand and
told the same story. When Jimmy
took in the situation he took off his hat,
scratched his bead looked as wise as an
owl, and then told the woman that the
cheapest divorces he had at present in
stock would cost her twenty-five dollars.
The woman declared she had not so
much money as that, and the man, while
perfectly willing to be divorced abso-
lutely refused to contribute a cent.
''Well then,' said Mr.. Crossen 'syou go
round to the old court house and ask for
man they call Knaggs. He has just
got a lot of divorces that, if you say ]
sent you he will sell very cheap" And
the couple went, with what result we
have not yet learned.

Many farmers think that as soon as
wagon or buggy felloes begin to shrink
they must go at once to a blacksmith
shop and get the tire set. Instead Of
doing that which is often damage to
the wheels. causing them to dish, if
they will get some linseed oil and heat
it boiling hot and give the felloes all
the oil they can take, it will fill them
up to their usual size. tighten, and
keep them from shrinking and also
keep out the water If you do not
wish to go to the trouble of so heating
oil, you can heat the oil and tie a rag
10 stick and swab them over as long
as they will take oil but the first way
is the better 1t pays to keep a little
oil on hand to oil fork handles, rakes,
neck yokes. whiffietrees. and any of
the small tools on the farm that are

Hog dyspepsia is the forerunner Of

He actually seems to dwindle in size,
instead of to grow, and becomes pot

SELF and renders his companions as
much so as he possibly can. The
cause of dyspepsia is overlooking or
rather irregular feeding, allowing the
hog to become very hungry and then
gorge himself. When the internal
machine of the hog is once thrown out
OF gear. like any other machinery if
continued to run out of gear will
rapidly grow worse. The preventives
are better than cures. Keep the hog
well supplied with charcoal wood
ashes salt and lime to keep them well
tuned up. II they are suffering from
the disease, reduce the food to very
light diet, give plenty of charcoal.
and watch the condition closely and
by regulating the feed they can be
gradually brought up again. Cole
