VIII Have His Way.

+ You can't get the best Of q shoe
clerk. He knows more about shoes
than q small boy knows about the
exact day school closes. A woman
hates a shoe clerk, and to all outward
appearance the shoe clerk feels the
same sort of sentiment toward the
woman.
There is one habit that a shoe
clerk has that is exasperating beyond
everything. He always insists upon
holding up the old shoe that he has
Just removed, and, after taking in
all its rips and rags and patches, he
filings it on the floor as II it were in
tested with smallpox microbes. That
one little incident Is quite enough
to make the woman shut her teeth
together and mentally declare q
"What size, madam" says he.
@Four b." she replies.
"Well, l think you need q 5! triple
a." he suggests.
Then if the woman is a real brave,
courageous bit Of feminlnity, she
straighteus up and says: Il will not
wear a 50. If you can't give me what
l ask for l shall, go elsewhere"
1t all depends upon the makeup of
the shoe clerk whether or not be gets
angry at this point. Sometimes he
goes away and presently comes back
with a shoe several sizes too small
for the woman's foot. Then he pro-
ceeds to try to jam the unhappy foot
into it, after which he smiles bland
ly and remarks sweetly: "You see,
MADAME"
But, anyway, whatever plan he fol-
lows and whatever demands she
makes, the woman invariably trots
off with her No. 4 "B" foot incased
in a No. So triple "A" shoe. If the
clerk is clever she isn't aware Of the
deceit until she gets home and looks
at the box. Then she thinks Of how
she said to him sharply: @You
needn't bring on your 53's. 1 won't
wear them" And then she sits down
and has a good laugh.
That's why I say that you can't
get the best Of a shoe clerk. OF
course, women realize that they are
unreasonable at times aud that buy
ing shoes is a trying business anyway,
but it seems rather hard to think
that we can't have the shoes we ask
for just once In a while. -Chlcago

this kind q good even stand is an N

Have the seed on hand aud the imple-

the soil will permit push the work as

the early sown oats give the best crop.
Oats can be used to good a~dvantagein

ducts can be usel probably as feed.
How early oats may be sown depend,
much upon the season; in some years ii
is possible to SOW in the latter part OF
February, while at other times it will be
the first part of April before the seeding
can be done. But it is always advisable
to SOW at the first opportunity. st.

THE PILLAR OF SAFETY.

Before the erection Of the new uni.
versity buildings in jena, the professors
generally held their lectures in various
public halls scattered nj ever the town.
In the body of one o! halls, where
the professor Of theo. used to hold
forth, there stood a lar pillar. At the
close OF the session the students applied
to the professor for their certificates of
attendance, when the latter remarked to
one of the young men,:
"But, my dear sir, I never saw you at
any of my lecturesl"
'"oh, Herr Professor, I always sat be.

One of the most important items with
ms crop is early SEEDING. Oats will
S'om anu Thrive III cool, moist WeatEcrl
but not, dry weather often cuts short the
growth and yield.
10 be profitable oats must be grown
oheaply; n point In doing this is ia
secure a good growth and yield, and
every advantage must be taken to get
this.
Everything should DO made ready, SO
that at the first favorable opportunity
the work can be pushed along as rapidly
as possible. While earliness is an item,
there is no advantage in trying to work
the soil when it is wet. With oats, as
with all other crops, it is important to
have the soil in good filth, and this can
not he secured readily if the soil il
worked wet.
One rapid, as well as economical, way
oil sowing oats is to have two teams and
three men. One of the men can SOW the
oats broadcast by hand, another, with a
team and ~cultivator, can work them into
the soil, and the man and team can har-
row into good filth. In this way tho
seeding may be done very rapidly. It'll
not necessary nor best to work the soil
deep. The roots of the oat plant grow
very near the surface, and if the surface
is thoroughly fined this is all the prep
aration necessary.
Another good plan is to uso tho disk
harrow with a seedtr attachment. In
this way the seed y sown and worked
into the soil all at dnce; it has n de-
cided advantage in that the seed can b
sown very readily and much EaSe evenly

The recent snow has made the far
mers realize the fact, that there is a

not till the soil they can sit in their
houses before their blazing fires and
smoke their pipes. But instead of this,
some people are never satisfied. When
it rains, they want the sun to shine,
when the sun shines they would be

LOCUST MOUNT.

The schools of the Seventeenth Dis
trict have all closed. This has been
one Of the scholastic years in which sue
cess and victory has perched upon our
educational banner in lines Of living
light throughout the entire school dis
trict. On the 4th we had the pleasure
of realizing the closing scenes of Prof.
E. E. Shipley's school at Cherry Grove.
A more entertaining time and complete
success in elocutionary display we have
e witnessed. Prof. Shipley is not
only an excellent teacher, but a sue
cessful farmer, and an orator in the
discussion of propositions, as he fully
proved himself with some of the finest
word painting we ever heard on the
night of the 18th. The Prof. is now
building a nice picket fence around his
beautiful residence which he recently
purchased from d. l. Shaver. The
political sky is now becoming bespan-
gled with bright stars of interest. This
interest centers solidly for Brownlow
for Congress. Campbell for Judge, Will
son for Chancellor, Butler for Senator,
Hilbert for Sheriff, Leah for County
Court Clerk, Stuart for Register. Al
to Representative, we hope some intel
ligent Republican will announce him
self and be nominated, one who hal
the interest of the laboring man al
heart, and who is capable of present
ing his claim to a de%liberatiye body.
