Recently Our Monthly, published at
the Thornweil Orphanage, and editel
by Rev. w. p. Jacobs. commented as
follows on circular it received from
a distillery:
\ company calling Itself THE old
Nick Whiskey Company" has sent US
its card and prospectus. For once
whiskey company has selected a suita-
ble name. "Old Nick" is a nickname OF
the devil. If ever the devil went into
business on earth. we have not the
least doubt it would be into liquor
distillery or liquor shop C some kind.
What surprises US is that these whlskey
people acknowledge their silent part
uer in such an unreSerVed way.
The circular of this company IS
curiosity. Its business is to make peo-
pie disreputable, and yet it bragS that
ten railroad presidents, thirty bank
presidents. seventy railroad superin-
tendents, six eX-GovernorS, one hum
dred and fifty prominent lawyers, and
many other honorable men, are among
its customers. We are glad this "Old

in the list. 1t falls also TO state ROW

There's a good deal of
guarantee business in the store
keeping of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words only avOraS.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice"

A Boys Essay On Girls.

Girls Is great on making bleeve. She wi
make bleeve doll is live baby She will
make bleeye she Is orfle sweet on another
girl or Teller. II they come To see her. and
when they are gone she will say. "IIorrid
old thing!'
Girls is olways fooling Teller She cant
lick yer, so she gets the best of yer that
way.
If yer don't do what girl tells yer, she
says yer hOrrd. If you do what q girl tells
You, you will do all sorts of foolish things.
Girls can be good in school every day
II they feal like It, i shud think they'd get
tired and have to do something wUnse I'm q
while; l know Teller does. Girls say a
Teller acts orfle, but when girl gifts a-g0ng
II she acts orfler than any Teller dast. They
don't care for nothing.
If a girl wants Teller to carry her books
home. she amt satisfied unless she gifts
the same Teller that other girls want
wheather she likes him or not.
Girls is great on having secrets. i mean
telling secrets. They make a secret out of
nuthing at all, and then tell II round to all
the other girls, orfle quiet, just as If it was
sumthing dreadful.
Girls olways git their joggerfy lessons better
than a Teller. but il they are going sum-
where they are shure to get lost
If two fellers have fife, the girls all go
for the Teller that ticks, no matter wheather
he is good for anything else or not.
Ii girl don't feel like doing a thing you
can't make her. 10 matter wheather she
Orter or not. LII she won't she won't, and
she will git out of it somehow. That is all
all l know about girls thiss time.-Ex-

Glove Contest.

About three hundred people witnessed
the finest glove contest last Tuesday that
ever took place in this city. The contest
ants were Billie Allen, of Owosso, and Sam
Peaters, of Chicago. The entertainment
was opened by preliminary bout between
Masters Bertrand and Retain. Retain was
introduced as the OwOsso Dempsey and he
is plucky little fellow but no match for
Arthur's reach and who showed COED tenn
per by not taking advantage of the position
At $3.50 Peaters and Allen were introduced
amid applause. Peaters was seconded by
his brother, who is evidently an expert at
the business. Allen was seconded by his
trainer and manager Sam Santhony. Jas.
Ryan was proposed for referee but declined
and James Atkins was unanimously chosen.
ROUND both men came promptly to
the scratch and from appearance there was
very little difference in weight. Honors
were about even. Peaters showing great
tact in getting away from three Knockout
blows.
ROUND 2.-Allen got in a good left jugu-
lar, rushed the fight and scored the first
knock-down.
ROUND 3.-Peaters received hard jugu-
lar, which was about to be followed when
time was called.
ROUND 4-was hot contest, Allen fore
ing the fight but narrowly escaped hard
blow just before time was called.
ROUND 5.-This was desperate round,
Allen fought his man to the ropes and then
to the wall where Peaters did very clever
work in getting away from punishment.
ROUND 6.-A!len opened by making a
feint with his right and finding Peater's
jugular with the left followed with terrific
right which was cleverly lodged.
ROUNDS Z, s, o, 10 and 11-were hot and
fierce, Allen, however, having the best of it.
ROUND 12.-Alen went in with rush,
driving Peaters all around the ring, and to
avoid terrific side winder Peaters whired
and dropped OH one knee. Allen, i'm a
STOPPING posture, awaiting him to get up,
when he quickly whirled and delivered a
good upper cut, with his right, which drew
first blood.
In the 14th round Allen was knocked to
his knees by blow in the face.
In the 18th Peaters received a blow on
the neck that knocked him dizzy and prac-
tically ended the fight, but he pluckily came
up and for the next four rounds everything
came Aliens way. The Chicago boy being
grOggy but plucky and i'm the 10th round
his brother threw up the sponge, as Peaters
was unable to get out of his chair. He re-
covered shortly and wanted to go on to the
35th round, but the 10 seconds had elapsed.
If these two men ever come together with
Peaters i'm good condition a close contest can
be looked for. G..

Important Trade Name Decision.

Judge Thayer, of the United States Cir
cult Court at st, Louis, has recently handed
down an opinion, and granted a perpetual
injunction against the defendants i'm the
case of the Hostetter Company against the
Bruggeman, Reinert Distilling Co., alias
Gold Spring Dstilling Co.." prohibiting
the advertising, manufacturing or selling of
any article of stomach bitters, either in
bulk, by the gallon or otherwise, or i'm any
way making use of the name "Hostetter"
except in connection with the sale of the
genuine bitters, which are always sold in
bottles securely sealed; and also prohibiting
the sale of any bitters i'm bulk, though the
name ''HOstetter' be not used, but the sug-
gestion made to the purchaser that he can
put them in the empty Hostetter bottles and
the purchasers would not discover the dit
ference. His decision supports the Hostel
ter Company in the exclusive use of the
name "Hostetter" I'm connection with either
the manufacture or sale of stomach bitters
in any manner or form whatsoever, and
firmly establishes its ownership in the name
"Hostetter" as a "Trade Name"

The Langshans.

In conversation with leading western
fancier, one who has watched the whims of
fancy poultry trade the past ten years, we
were SURPRISED to hear him make the fol-
lowing prediction: IL believe that five
years from now the Langsban will be the
leading breed, especially i'm the Asatic
class. They have steadily but firmly gained
grounds until the demand for them is sur
prise to me. l find the farmers, who few
years ago would not talk about buying a
black chicken, now not wanting to buy any
other IL they can get them"
We were surprised at the above because
we knew that in the days past our friend
had not been an enthusiastic admirer OF the
Langshan, but we believe the prediction is
a timely one and that 1t will be verified.
Those who do not want to like a black
chicken had better not fool" with the
Langshan-if you breed them and handle
them you are sure to fall in love with them,
for they combine more good points with
fewer faults than any other breed we have
tested. We have had them eight years and
have never seen the day we would discard
them for any other breed. They lay almost
as many eggs as the LeghOrns and we have
thought at times that they eXcelled them.
No better meat ever went on table than
we have secured by killing nice, plump
young Langshan hen or pullet Anyway,
they are good enough for all practical pur-
poses.-Nest Egg.

'Can the character be read from the
handwriting" Most assuredly it can. Every
one can remember being influenced favor
ably or unfavOrably by the penmanship of
some unknown person, and had been as
tOnshed to find how true the conclusions
were; and some of the worlds foremost
thinkers have maintained that the hand
writing furnishes more exact key to the
character than the head, face or form.
Character-readiDg from handwriting is a
fascinating study; and if you wish to learn
all about it you must read the excellent and
