The Ant and the Grasshopper.


One sunny afternoon an ant, that was
taking stroll before going into cold stor-
age for the winter, met forlorn looking
grasshopper.
''Aha, said the ant, with the air of a
successful business man talking to poor
relative, ''you danced and sang popular
songs all through the summer, and now
that the winter has come you must starve,
while sit in my subcellar and enjoy an
easy conscience and parched wheat
''Nonsensal' said the grasshopper
Ever since Solomon S time you ants have
lorded 1t over us, and the impression pre-
walls in some New England villages that
all we grasshoppers are good for is to point
a moral, but wait until the news of my
divorce has been published and my litho-
graphs are OUT
And all winter the grasshopper danced
skirt dance and harped on her wing on
warm, commodious stage for fabulous
salary and percentage OF the gross re-
ceipts, and the ant and his friends spent
their summer savings in buying front
seats and bouquets.

times wears diamopds.-Truth.

SOME FABLES.
The Fable of the wise Fool.

Once upon a time there lived man who
was neither wise nor rich, yet he was not
fool. Now this man, who had wandered
over many parts of the earth, came at last
to place called Monte Carlo. Here many
people come for divers reasons, but all
leave for the same. Now it so befell that
the man, being unwise, hazarded his SUBJ
stance recklessly, and not being rich soon
lost all he had. Whereupon he went apart
and oommuned with himself in this wise:
"I, who had little, have now nothing,
wherefore it becomes me to die like gen.
tleman." So saying he raised his pistol
to his head. But on a sudden smile
crossed his face, and, discharging his
weapon into the air, he fell down as one
dead. Whereupon one in authority at the
place, hearing the noise, ran up, and, see-
ing him lying there, saith within himself:
Truly this man has lost all at play,
wherefore he has shot himself. If this be-
comes known, much trouble may befall
u.s." So saying he drew forth certain
moneys and placed them in the others
pocket. At this there came many people
running, and among them certain ones
connected with the law. The man, seeing
this, arose, saying that he had been asleep,
and all rejoioed that he was not dead.

The Other Side.

Editor LEADER:-In your issue
of August go, you have an article
headed, "Where do you Buy?"
In that article you get after the
people, and particularly the farmers,
for not buying all their goods at
home of their home merchants.
You make very good case out of
it for the storekeeper, but you do
not seem to know, or at least to
remember that every story has two
sides, and that the farmers side of
the story is yet to be told. When
you ask all of the farmers to do
all their trading at home, why do
you not, on the other hand, ask
the storekeeper to buy all his stuff
at home that he can, and to buy at
least part OF the farmers produce,
The merchants want the farmers
to buy and pay cash for everything
they get, and they will not hardly
buy single thing that is raised or
produced on the farm, Just take
it all last winter, for instance.
The produce men Of Corvallis, AL
bany, Jefferson and other towns in
the valley were shipping potatoes
right through Toledo all winter
and yet not a bushel of potatoes
could be sold in Toledo for ship
ment. If some of the merchants
would have handled them and give
the farmers just what they realized
out of them after expenses were
paid, there would have been hun
dreds of bushels shipped, and
though the price was low, there
would have been enough come out
Of them to have paid many store
debts and to have paid cash a good
many times where farmers have
had to buy on time. If the store
keepers in Toledo and other towns
want to get all tue trade Of the
people, they must buy some Of the
stuff the farmers have to sell and
pay a reasonable price for it. If
they wont do that the farmers will
ship their own produce and buy at
San Francisco and Portland. When
/ can get five cents a dozen more
for eggs at San Francisco after
freight is paid than I can at Toledo,
l will send my eggs there, and I
will buy there, too, as long as they
sell as cheap as they do at home
and at the same time pay me a
third more for my produce.
Now Mr.. Editor, just give these
few lines space in your valuable
paper. and next time you 90 to
write an article about "Where do
you Buy1' just go and ask your
storekeepers what they buy.
A FARMER.

A New Discovery by the
Shakers.

For more than hundred years the Mount Lcba-
non Shakers have studied the cultivation of medci-
nal plants and sought to extract from them their
healing essences. Their labor has not been spent
in vain. They have made a discovery that will
prove blessing to mankind. II consists of a cor
dial that immediate relief in cases of ndi-
gestion. The Importance of this discovery will be
apparent when realize that nearly nine tepths
of all sufrerings caused by dyspepsia or in
digestive trouble In of its varied forms
sick headache. distress after eating, pain and full
in the chest after eating, palptation OF the
heart, ETC., but symptoms of indigestion To
relieve these suferings has been the study Of the
Shakers, and they have succeeded. The reason the
Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
and salutary effect is that It the food eaten
be digested for it is undigested food that
the distress. The cordial causes the food to be
sour the stomach. When the food is dgcsted
1t gives strength and vigor TO the feeble body,
makes feel bright and cheerful, and makes
gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt in its action
that the very first dose will have pcrceptibly
favorable result. 1t gives immediate relief.
In order to prove this statement, small trial
bottles placed in the druggists hands be OBJ
tanned for 10 cents each. This trial bottle will
have decided beneficial effect and will satisfy
any that the Cordial is adapted TO his case.
After trial give praise to the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon. NY.
