TERSELY TOLD.
(By E. R. Petherick.l

The man who cannot keep up with
the times always votes them bad.
Life would be shOrn of much Of its
unpleasantness If each individual did
not think that his or her desires were
of paramount Importance.
No brain is bright enough to long IL
illuminate dark stomach.
The trouble with holidays is they
teach us the comfort of rest without
furnishing the time.
Even if Swearing off, is followed bv
a relapse, it is better than a chain Of
habit with unbroken links.
1t takes a really tough man to fully
admire the innocence of a child.
The value of mans possessions is in
a great measure regulated by the use he
makes Of them.
Many man lives until he looks on
his crimes as mere fOllies.
It is not human nature to waste much
that is valuable in making frills.
What is more ridiculous than a lot of
people meeting in a social way to eX-
change grievances?
Women are generally willing to admit
mans superiority when they want
something lifted.
1t is something to live so that people
will know it when you die.
Many a man has lost his friends by
introducing them to each other.
People who make false pretenses are
always the first to complain about
curiosity being a nuisance.
People without money are generally
the ones who go bargain-hunting.
When woman starts in to be wise
she takes the first step towards foolish
ness.
Those who can live without work gen
orally find it labor to live.
Prompt aid every time he falls will
soon make man careless of his work.
The world is too full of people who
ask for information about something
they are paid for knowing.
Popularity is one of the most vague
and underlined possessions that man
acquires.
While opportunity awaits every man.,
it does not put in its leisure time blow
ing horn.
Attend carefully to preliminaries, and
a crisis will pass you by asa pig lodges
a wire fence.

Mr. Smith, of Plainfeld, is visiting
his sister Mrs Frecker, who has been
visiting friends in Plainfield for week
or more.
Peter Wend Of Appleton, has re-
Gently come here to help run the new
paper machine.
II. L. Reed has recently moved into
the new house built by Mr.. Olson.
Our beautiful little church was the
scene of pretty wedding on Wednes-
day evening October 2S, when Rev. A.
L. McClelland pronounced the ceremony
which made Mr.. Lewis Goodness and
Miss Matte Scott husband and wife A
large company of fric nds were present.
After the ceremony d few invited guests

Gold Plenty Since Election.

From Milwaukee Sentinel New
York financial report November 9TH
1896:
The premium on gold that has ruled
for a long time past entirely disap-
peared and people who had withdrawn
the gold some time ago made in
etfectual efforts to exchange their
holdings for currency at the offices Of
the bullion brokers. At the sub
treasury applications were rejected
except subject to delay for eXamina-
ton and in return for receipts, it
being stated that the entire clerical
force of the establishment was taxed
to the utmost in counting heavy aC-
cumulatiOnS of silver. Finally the
gold was turned over to the banks and
savings institutions, and some of the
banks that are understood to be short
of currency will, it is stated, pay
their balances at the clearing house
temporarily in gold.
We are also creditably Informed
that considerable gold has been de-
posted since the morning after
election with our local banks.

Always Be Cheerful.

There are two things in a woman that
the man Of refinement admires equally
as much, if not more, than beauty, and
those are pleasant voice and cheer
ful disposition.
There is not a man in the world brave
enough to cope with a woman who
whines. He will put himself to any
amount Of trouble to avoid her. If your
trouble is great one, you may risk tell
ing it to your best man friend, feeling
sure that he will do his best to aid you,
but never venture meeting him with a
bundle of imaginary woes. With such
you may be sure he will never trouble
you, and whv should a woman feel it
her privilege to ask more than she can
return simply because she is woman?

Brighten up Your Houses.

Open your blinds by day and light
bright fires by night. Hang pictures
upon the walls. Put books and news
papers on your table. Have music and
entertaining games. Danish demons of
dullness and apathy, and bring in mirth
and good cheer. Invent occupation for
your sons. Stimulate their ambition
in worthy directions. While you
make home their delight, fit them for
higher purposes than mere pleasure.
Whether the boys shall pass boyhood
and enter upon manhood with refined
taste and noble ambitions depends up
on you. With exertion and right means
mother may have more control over
the destiny of her boys than by any
other influence whatever.
