How Pashful Young Man at Last Got {
Spoon.
There is a man, we'll known in ju.
dicial circles as one of the most polished
and courtly of gentlemen, who tells the

much in love with peighbor's daugh.
ter, and. according to his statement,
was at this time nearly feet tall. un'
calmly, shy and with the proverbial ubiq.
uitous hands and feet.
One Sunday he was at dinner with
his rosy checked sweetheart, and when
the gnosts had been served with soul
the youth discovered that he had nc
spoon. he grew red in tho face and wal
in az agony Of modification and dismay.
II he asked for a spoon. he felt sure ev
cry one would look at him; If he die
not eat his soup, his hostess would bt
sure to remark it. What was he to do
He felt his hands growing larger anC
more in the way than ever, and his feel
caused him untold emotion by absolute
ly refusing to go under his chair
Great beads Of perspiration stood out
ON his face and trickled down like rain.
The situation was becoming unendur
able when a terrified cat, pursued by q
small but game terrier, rushed into thu
room and sprang upon the table. The
guests jumped up, and in the genera
confusion the embarrassed youth retain
ed his seat, and turning to the servant
remarked calmly, "I'll have q spoon

Curative power is contained in Hoods
sarsaparilla than in any other similar
preparation. 1t costs the proprietor
and manufacturer more. 1t costs the
jobber more and is worth more to the
consumer. More skill is required in
its preparation and it combines more
remedial qualities than any other
MEDICINE. Consequently it has a rec
ord of more cures and its sales are
more than those Of any other prepara-
tion. Hoods sarsaparilla is the best
medicine To buy because it is an hon
est medicine and thousands of testi-
monials prove that it does actually
permanently cure disease.

ABOUT EX-GOVENORs.

From the New Mexican.
Mrs. Dimmick seems satisfactorily
to have disposed of the interesting

our ex-presidents?"
So far as the FIVE living ex-govern-
ors of New Mexico are concerned, the
estimable gentlemen seem quite COM
petent to solve the problem for them
selves.

likely soon to create Il sensation in ma

standpoint of one OF the senatorial
participants therein; Ex-Governor L.

interest being given thereto by the
fact that within It's ancient ADOBE

damaged much grain and hay over
the county. 1t was completely water
soaked and some of the wheat and
oats had started to growing from the
effects of the big rain few days be-
fore. The general opinion of farm
ers is that the damage to crops which
were still in the fields in shock will
will amount to q large sum OF money
in this county. Plentysiof sunshine
now will save much of the wet grain.
Large quantities of wheat and oats
were washed into the Maumee and
aoated Toledoward, which of course
was a total loss to those farmers who
had their grain thus served.
Quite a number of bridges were
washed out over the county, which
will put the county and townships to
great expense to repair damages in
this respect.
