two teams and three men, thoroughly
covering the county within radius
of twenty miles of Valley Falls, and
he tells us, conlidentially of course,
that he is doing a splendid business,
and he has the records Of sales made,
to prove his assertions. From Mon
day to Wednesday OF this week he dis
posed Of over $500 worth of machines.
and Saturday he expects to do big
business. He deserves all the success
he is meeting with, because he has a
good machine, and is not trying to
skin the farmers with fake article.
The machine needs no words Of COM
mendation from us, it speaks for it,

When Rev. DR.. Parkburst began his
war on the police of New York, prov
ing by his own Investigations that 1.-THE
finest" was fine only on the outside,
and that in truth the body was rotten
to the core, many people snickered
and ridiculed the earnest clergyman.
They even threw mud at him and
blamed him for his methods and the
anticipated results. Now many of
those who laughed are weeping. Many
who ridiculed have become impressed.
Three police captains; four sergeants,
two wardmen and three patrOlmen
have been found guilty by their super
iors Ofwrong doing levying bleckmail
on law breakers and other things in
violation of the code. The fun has
just begun and this list is likely to in
crease before the show is over. DR..
Parkhurst has been vindicated.

One Sunday not long ago a suburban

regular pastor was away, and the
stronger who occupied the pulpit was
evidently bound to make an impression.
He stormed and shouted and perspired.
His stentOrian tones amused and i'm.

and he went home with the idea that
shouting was the one thing needful in
preaching.
During the afternoon be went to his
mother, who was lying on the sofa.

able pride and compliment in his tone;
Mamma, if you were only a man
