"Two!" replied the smart boy:
"tbere are three, sir, and I'll prove
it,
''Three!" replied the old gentle
man, who was a plain, matter-of fact
man, I'D like to see you prove it."
"Easily done, easily done. Is not
that ope?" said the smart boy, laying
his knife on the first; ''and that two!"
pointing to the second; ''and do not
one and two make three?'
Really" said the father, turning
tohis wife, who was stupifed at the
immense learning of the son; really,
this boy is genius, and deserves to
be crcouraged;" and then to show
that there's fun in old folks as we'll
as in young ones, he added:
"Wife, do you take one fowl, and I'll

when he came to a man who was
planting a hitcbins post in the
ground by the roadside. The Gene
raj stopped and said:
MY friend, I can show you how to
set your post so that it will never
rot"
Taking it il his hands, those great
hands of his, he placed it upside
down and held it while the man filled
up the hole and tramped the earth
about it.
It is a well known fact that a post
set bottom side up in the ground

Make the Most Of Yourself.

It is the duty Of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is sure
to find some place where he can be
useful to himself and to others. But
he cannot reach his highest useful
ness without good health and he
cannot have good health without pure
blood. The blood circulates to every
organ and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health to
the entire system, but if it is impure
it scatters disease wherever it flows.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the one true
blood purifier. 1t cures salt rheum,
scrofula, catarrb, dyspepsia and rheu-
matism because these diseases have
their origin in the blood. 46

Wedding supesstitions.

Never wear an emerald for an en-
gagement ring. If you do you will
die an old maid.
Don't lose your wedding ring; if
you do bad luck will pursue you.
To allow another girl to wear your
engagement ring not only signifies
that you are extremely foolish, but
also means that you will lose the one
you love best and who has promised
to lead you to the altar.
The bride who would be rich should
slip a gold dollar into each shoe or
slipper just before she enters the
church.
To receive proposal cf marriage
in horse car or in any other public
place means that your married life
will be attended by unpleasant noto-
riety.
The rustic lover who sees a snake
when on his way to propose to his
sweetheart should turn back and
propose some other time; for let him
know that a snake is an omen of ex-
ceeding ill import.
No bridal couple should at once
venture from land. Stay on terra
6rma for at least week. You will
not regret it.
No bride should accept any of the
pets of her friends as gifts if she
would not have their consequent i'll
luck.
For a young girl to sit on table
in the presence of young men it may
BE- taken as sure sign that she wants
/ to get married.
Above all things, don't get mar
lied in a church near which is an
| open grave. 1t means the worse
kind of bad luck, if not early and
! violent death.
If the wedding ring is dropped
during the ceremony the bride may
as we'll wish herself unborn, for she
will always have evil luck.

pleasant speculstions concerning The
good time he would have after be had
sold his gold, when stranger ap-
peared on the road, and accosting
him, said:
"Give US piece Of 'backy, mate"
Those were days when people, es-
pecially those who had been to the
diggings, didn' stand on ceremony.
Suspecting ho treachery, the miner
thrust a hand into his pockets to get
chunk of the muchly weed.
In a moment the muzzle CT a pis-
tol was thrust against his forehead,
and the stranger shouted:
"Bail up?"
The stranger was a bushranger,
and that was the way that bushran-
gers ordered their victims to throw
up their. hands before going through
them.
Without pausing an instant, al
though be knew that the bushranger
had only to exercise a little gentle
pressure with his fore6nger to blow
him into eternity, the miner bawled
out at the top of his voice:
sBob!"
There was no "Bob" around there.
It was ruse conceived by the miner
in the fraction of second and imme-
diately put into execution to distract
the attention of the bushranger. It
worked. The busbranger thought
the miner was calling comrade to
his assistance. He looked around to
catch q glimpse of the fictitious
Bob" That was the miners oppor-
tunity. Quick as fash he swung
his left arm and knocked the pistol
out Of the busbranger's grasp. Then
he brought bis rifle to his shoulder
and leveled it at the bushranger' 8
head. In much less time than it
takes to tell it, the situation had been
completely reversed. The bushran
ger was at the mercy of the miner.
"Now," said ne, 'syou scoupdrel.
just fold your hands behind your
back, and march ahead of me; il
you move or try to run away I will
save the hangman job by letting
Daylight through YOU"
In that way the miner escorted the
bushranger into town and handed
him over to the police.

No bride, if she would have good
luck, should bake her own wedding

Kiss bride right after the cere-
mony, and before the newly made
husband has had chance to do SO,

throughout the year.
Should bride perchance see

road station prior to departing on
her wedding tour, she should Or
der her driver to turn back and start
over again, Or else she will surely
meet with bad luck.
No bride or groom should be given
telegram while on the way to
church. 1t is positively a sign OF
evil.
Maidens eager to we'd should give
dish water heated to the boiling point
wide berth. 1t means that they
will not marry for long time, if they
attempt to cleanse dishes in water
50 hot.
It is said that whoever goes to sleep
first on the wedding night will die
first. Both should try and 80 to
sleep together.
Upon retiring the bride should
place her stockings under her pillow.
This will certainly insure good luck.
If you can possibly avoid it, don't
postpone your wedding. Better be
welded on a sick bed than defer the
ceremony. Love and Hymen cure
many ills.
Night weddings are better than
none, yet they are by no means the
best. The bride whom the sunshine
canno fall upon is sure to experience
troublous times. If she have chill
dren they will die young.

dependence upon the farmers OF this
country. I have had occasion to
talk to some who seem to imagine
the harder up they could make the
farmers the better off they would be.

society. Upon this foundation IS

formidable, highly contagious dis
