This au age in which the division OF
labor is drawing fine lines, and the man
who can do something for the people that
proves convenience, and saves work and
worry is hailed as a genius and benefactor.
Two men in neighboring town have gone
into the business Of manufacturing mush.
They put it up in neat cakes. and enough
for an ordinary family's breakfast can be
purchased for nickel. 1t is made of
granulaied corn meal, and is admirably
suited for frying. The breakfast dish is for
sale at all the meat markets in that town,
and meets with ready sale. In fact it fills
a long felt want. Being very healthful as
well as cheap, it is in universal demand,
and is just the thing for these fried mush
and bean soup times.

Cannot always be cured, bur a
properly fitting Truss VIII do
more toward curing YOU than any
thing else. A small rupture is
more dangerous than a lagc one
but is more readily held in place.
Quite a number of persons who
have been fitted by us have been
entirely cured, but this IS not al
ways the case. The sooner we
have them visit US after finding
they are rupured the more hope
of a complete cure. We make a
specially Of Trusses for both
ladies and gentlemen, and give di-
rections for private meas Jrement
for the former. Al cases consid-
cred strictly byt9atr. Buying
Trusses by mail from some person

Somehow she seemed 10 understand,
And when the soft June days had come,
When roses bloom and brown bees hum

On wings that always seemed TO fly,
He paid her bills, year after year,
And with sigh he called her dear"

dinner or supper is served up By the coun-

was plain case we were called upon 10
decide and We stood eleven to one on the
first ballot. We argued and reasoned long
with the dissenting one, but to no purpose.
On every ballot we took We stood eleven
to one. a gentleman on the panel who
happened to know the man and his ante
cedents remarked TO me that he would
come around all right after dinner; that
he did not get dollar dinner very often,
and took this method TO obtain one. Time
wore on and We began to feel the effects OF
hunger, till finally the sheriff marched Us
off to the hotel, where rich and appetiz
ing spread awaited Us, to which We all did
ample justice and then returned 10 our
work As soon as we entered our room
