That has always been the mainest
doctrine preached forth on the earth
End amongst men by Elder Newberry:
'Let the other fellow do the frettin."
Life is too mortal long and time is

Well. on last Monday moTnin the
elder was up and out by time. The
chimney was about TO falIdown-which
of course they will need the fireplace
in dUrin of the winter-and he had took
the job and lit in to fix it. With his
grubbin hoe in one hand and a spade in
the other he went under the house TO

Float Away and Give the Parent Plant
Room to Grow.
1t is good for plants to keep as much
apart as possible. If the seed fell
straight TO the ground, and the young
plants all grew up together around
the parent one, they would starve each
other out. For plants are like people,
and when crowded too closely together,
fall TO fighting among themselves.
Their struggles are very bitter ones,
though we do not see or hear them.
The plants that are strongest in these
silent battles end by getting the light
and air and water and food they need
from the soil, while the poor weaklings
are left to starve and die. To prevent
too much of this wasteful crowding
and struggling, old Dame Nature has
invented many clever little scheme.
When trees or smaller plants grow
on river banks, their fruits often fall
into the water, and are carried down
stream by the current, sometimes find
ing landing-places on the banks, and
so grow up into new plants. Who has
not seen sycamore balls and buckeyes
travelling along in this easy fashion?
These are the fruits of the trees they
grow on. Fruit is the part of the plant
that incIoses the seed, with the seed it.
self. So the dry pods that hold the
black morning glory seeds are as truly
fruits as are apples or Strawberries,
though we commonly use the word only
for those that are good to eat.
1t often happens that, On small islands
in rivers, trees and flowers are found
that do not grow on the neighboring
banks. These have come down the
river, sometimes from the mountains
where it rises, in the shape OF fruits,
and have found lodging on the island,
during high water. Sometimes fruits

like till II ratified the elder for the pres
emit, but he soon recovered and come
forth to take look at the ruins.
Misses Newberry was out in the gar
den by this time, and she viewed the
general ruination from afar. But for
years and years she had heard the elder
preach forth his doctrine: "Let the
other fellow do the frettin''-and so she
thought it mought be good time TO
practice what he preached.
The elder went on fumblin around
and talkin low to himself few tninnits,
when all of student he discovered the
strings of his wife's. fy bonnet. under
the wreck and ruins of the chimney
which had fell. and for little more he
would have tainted and fell over in X.
Then he put in to calm "Winnie-which
that is his wife's maiden name. He called
her loud and frequent, but his "Winnie"
was not there, but in the garden laugh
in all over and sayin to herself: Let
the other fellow do the frettin."
In that awful and SCHENECTADY mo-
ment the elder took up notion that
his good wife-one that had been his
side partner through good and bad re-
ports-was somewheres down under
the ruins mashed to death. You
couldn't fool him in regards to them
bonnet strings, which he had bought
the check homespun with his first cot
ton money. He fell to bis knees, he
did, and prayed short, fervent prayer,
and then he put out over to the Pick
ems place to spread the awful news
amongst the neighbors.
For the first time in 40 years the
elder united his legs in foot race, and
naturally burnt the wind and startled
the native air as he went. In little or
no time he was back there with
crowd of the neighbors, weepin and
wailin and carryin on scandlous around
the ruins of the chimney which had
fell. They had all about give it up
that Misses Newberry was dead, and
the next question was in regards to
how they would remove the ruins and
recover the remains, when, by gracious,

had picked good mess of turnip greens

den. hunmin some familious old tune

And if she had riz from the grave
and come forth oncst more in the flesh

and the neighbcrs.

IT'S LOVE THAT TAKES THE
WORLD 90 ROUND"

Some people think money is a greater
power than love. Oh What a mistake
See how the great money kings are con-
trolled by the little boy Cupid See how
the great soldiers and men of power are
twisted around his little fingers
a woman's most precious possession is
the capacity for awakening pure and noble
love. More potent than wit or intellect is
the womanly capacity for happy wifehood
and motherhood.
A woman who Is weak or diseased in the
special organism Of her sex is deprived of
the power and prestige which naturally be-
loug to her. Such troubles are not nc
ccssity. Perfect health and strength of the
feminine organism is insured by proper
care and the aids afforded by enlightened
medical science. DIR. Pierce's FavoTite Pre-
scripton cures all weaknesses and diseases
Of woman's special organism.
For nearly 90 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
". Y. No other physician has had a more
extensive practice or greater success in the
treatment Of women's diseases. No other
such perfect and scientific remedy for these
ailments has ever been devised. II has re-
stored health, strength and womanly power
to tens of thousands Of women.
Women who would understand their own
powers and possibilities should read Doctor

The Election in ROCKY Greet.

1t is ruther late to be givin ont news
Of the general election, but from letters
and things which have been sent to me
il would seem like every body wants to
know for certain how ihe old cat
jumped in Rocky Creek. And who is
there to tell the news-who but me?
Well, oncst upon a time William Au-
gustus GUS Crittenden was runnin
n race for the state senate. From all
the general appearmcnts ] am satis-
fed that Gus raley did want to win
the race. lie wanted that job, Gus did.
and he wanted it so monstrous bad till
l reckon he could taste it.
Anyhow, when Gus come down into
our settlement TO make a speech he
found the people powerful bad stirred
up on the whisky question. Some want
ed the whisky laws spilled out, and
some didn't, but to save his life Gus
couldn't tell which side heIt the strong
est hand. So, consequentially, in dur
in of his speech, when old man Jerry
Rutherford rig up and wanted TO know
how he stood on the whisky question,
Gus coughed and spit and cleared his
throat and lifted up his voice and re-
sponded back:
when it comes TO that pint, fellow
citizens, | must be plain-spoken and
honest, and [ pledge you my word that
l am perfectly all right on the whisky
question"
So, in regards to the last general
election, L must tell you the naked,
unwashed truth. The election went
right in the Rocky Creek settlement.
