A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now SO we'll known far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for time at least cut down our advertising expenses. An lad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do 1t. Besides, we heard man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who ad- vertises % much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without a gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked to us copfi- dentiaIly, in an of hand way, that writing lads" out of business hours Is liable to lead to softening Of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got it; and he looked away over into the next county when he said 1t but,-well we are not slow to take a hint, if 1t is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- ful If we should really get 1t this softening disease, we mean, and have 1t get real deep ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go Into the coffers of these "grasIing newspaper monopolies." eat brain ness, 1. @. selling furniture at Hawleyville. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism, and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing to harden. Be compassionate, be just be considerate be charitable, be liberal mind, ed one with another and last of all De sure and come to Hawieyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat.

 A few lads would consent to trial and received basin of hot gruel and a spoon. While they were pouring the hot mess into the skull the doctor would throw his voice so as to make it appear to proceed from the jaws of the bony customer and gurgle out, "Br-r-r-gr-uh, that's hotp
 This was too much, and without ex- ception the lads dropped the basin and bolted. The doctor began to despair of ever getting a suitable helpmate until a small boy came and was given the gruel and spoon.
