KENTUCKY HUMOR,

Edward ]. McDermott has an ar
tlcle entitled Fun on the Stump" in
the October Century, in which he
relates the following:
Just before the war Humphrey Mar
shall was a great debater in Con.
gress; during the war he was Con-
tolerate general. He was very large
and stout-a veritabe Fastaff. At
the breaking out of the war he wrote
to an officer OF the North, and warn
ed not to invade the sacred soil OF
Kentucky; for if he did he would have
to pass over the dead body of Hum.
phrey Marshall. The Northern Of
fcer replied: Dear General. We
won't pass over your dead body. We
prefer to tunnel through" After the
war the general had good practice,
but he was extravaganza, and often in
need of money. Once he was logged
by collector who had been put off
dozens of times. At last the collector
said; General, you have said to me
time after time, Il cannot pay you
this week. Come next week. Now,
can't afford to be coming here all
the time. You must fix the day.
When will you be able to pay me P"
oh it, sir" said the general, "do
you think l am prophet ?"
When the general was running for
Congress against Mr.. Blank, after
the war, he tried to draw out Mr..
Blanks exact opinions by close de-
bate on the stump. In such an in
tellectual conflict few men could com
pete with Humphrey Marshall. Mr..
Blank parried and fenced as well as
he could. Finally Marshall said one
evening in his ponderous tones and
impressive manner:
Fellow. citizens: | nave tried to
pin Mr.. Blank down and make him
give me fair statement of his opin-
ions and principles, but he fits about
so nimbly that it is impossible to FOL
low him in an argument. In dodg-
ing debate, he reminds me Of a bob
olink fitting along ziezag worm
fence, hopping or flying, first on one
side of the fence and then on the
other, until the mind is bewildered,
and it is impossible to tell on which
side he is at any moment"

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs, Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City,
ILL.,, was told by her doctors she had con-
sumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles OF DR.. Kings
New Discovery completely cured her and
she says it saved her life. Mr.. Thos.
Eggers, 139 Florida ST., San Francisco,
suffered from dreadful cold, approach
ing consumption, tried without result
everything else then bought one bottle of
DR.. Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally thank
full. 1t is such results, of which these are
samples, that prove the wonderful eff
cacy of this medicine in Coughs and
Colds. Free trial bottles at Flint Bros.

FOR RHEU MATISM.
Paine'S Celery Compound A
Sure Specific.
No Well Informed Person
Suffers From It.
The Disease No Longer An
Incurable One.
Greatest of All Remedies Pre-
soribed by Doctors.
A Long, Brilliant Record of Re-
markable Cures.

Neuralgia and rheumatism-two
disorders no longer incurable.
Physicians today get rid of rheu-
matism and neuralgia, as they do
sleeplessness, melancholy, hysteria
and other results of nervous exhaus-
ton, by building up the system and
supporting the delicate nerve parts
by the use of Paine's celery com
pound.
Paine's celery compound attacks
the disease by getting the system
back to its properly nourished condi-
ton. 1t stands alone in the history
of medicine. 1t is certain specific
for the cure, not only OF rheumatism
but also OF the diseases due to i'm
poverished nerves and blood.
The close connection of well-fed
nerves and brain with health, is the
solid rock upon which Paine's celery
compound stands. The thousands
OF men and women all over the

rheumatism once for all, by Paine's
celery compound, have made good
all the medical fraternity first pre-
dicted for it.
That it restores health and
strength to the body made weary,
lstess and respondent from ner-
yous debility, needs no proof today
in thousands of homes.
The list of those it has freed from
rheumatism is long one. 1t CON
tains host of well.known men and
women at home and abroad. Ev-
cry city and town in the United
States and Canada is represented.
Paine's celery compound was first
prescribed by Prof. Edward Phelps,
NJ. D., LII. D., ofDartmouth College.
Ever since its first appearance it has
been the one recognized nerve and
brain invigorator among medical
men. Its constant use by physicians,
where an active nutriment is urgent
ly needed, speaks volumes for its
efficacy in diseases OF nervous origin.
Strength, buoyant spirits and free.
dom from pain comes with its use.

If YOU would retain Johnny's respect,
don't allow him to get the idea that he
must show more politeness to stranger
than he does to you. Good manners is
not something that is put on and off
like a Sunday garment. Johnny must
make them part of himself, or they do
him little good and you little credit.

about deceiving children, but not too
much, for many parents-good people

Another June Wedding.

Quite a sensation was created in
the neighborhood Of Ramsey Tuesday
when it was discovered by her folks
that Miss Mary Coleman had left her
school and eloped to Rathdrum with
Charles Dingnlan to get married. The
young lady, who is below the age Of
consent, being scarcely II, got leave
from her teacher to go home, on the
preteXt Of being i'll with headache.
Upon leaving the school room she was
met by Charles Dingman, who accom-
panied her home, ana her folks being
absent, they packed up the young Ia
dy's effects and proceeded to this place
where the nuptlal knot was tied by JUS
tice A. w. Post. The couple then
left for Spokane, imagining all the
time that they soon would be holly
pursued by an enraged father. But
the father of the bride, while greatly
deploring his child's dsobedience,
took a philosophical view of the situa-
ton, and left the couple go on their
way in peace. May the waters of the
sea upon which this couple have
launched their tiny craft never grow
turbulent, and may it forever steer
clear of divorce cliffs.

Some Fine Strawberl les.

q. 9. Smith of Hope dropped IN to
see the editor Thursday and presented
us with a bunch of ten strawberries
which were raised on bis farm, and
were the largest and most luscious ber-
ries we have seen for a long time.
The bunch weighed just nine ounces.
Quite naturally Mr.. Smith was ques-
toned in regard to his berry farm and
how he succeeded in raising such ele-
CANT fruit. He said:
"My method of caring for strawber-
ry plants is somewhat different from
most farmers. and you may think it
rather unique way, but neverthe-
less | find it very successful. ! plant
my strawberries three feet apart each
way, and am very careful in the
spring to keep all the runners back.
After the crop of berries is harvested,
l cut off the plants level with the
ground, leaving nothing but the roots.
! then scatter the leaves, and when

l use no fertilizer on my strawberry
ground, more than the ashes which
remain after burning the leaves of the
plants. / have about two acres into
strawberries and this seasons crop
will be upwards OF 1900 boxes. This
fall I expect to set out about 10000
plants more. BY this method straw
berry plants will produce well for at
least seven years. l use the Jersey
strawberry principally. and would
recommend that variety for market.
