of Furniture Sewing Machines, Guns,
Watches, SilverWare, Books, Etc.

THIS is the season during which the
Il people of this section generally make
selection of the newspaper they expect to
read during the following year.
We want THE ENQUIRER to 60 as q
TWICE-A-WEEK visitor to every home
in York county. With the assistance of
intelligent and trustworthy friends in the
different localities, we know it can he
gotten into many homes to which it Is not
now going. This assistance is of much
value to us, and it is our purpose to pay
for it most literally, in proportion to the
service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of a certain subscriber
last year, is no reason why he should
nave any claim upon that subscriber this
year. Because one individual may al
ready be at work in 4 given neig hbor:
hood, is no reason why another should
not also canvass in that neighborhood.
Every clubmaker is entitled to get sub.
scribers whenever and wherever he or
she may be able to get them, and upon
compliance with the conditions herein
stated, have them counted.
Our plan Of compensation to clubmak-
ers this year is on the same line as here
tntore-a competition for TWO LEAD
ING PREMIUMS to be awarded for the
TWO LARGEST clubs, and a third lead
ing premium for the largest club of
NEW SUBSCRIBERS. After that the
value of the premium is in proportion to
the number Of names returned.

GETTING RID OF RATs.-The best
method have found, and it has proved
to be successful with me, is to mix
corn meal and plaster of paris together
about one-third plaster of paris. The
rats will eat the corn meal, also some
of the dry plaster. AS they pick the
corn meal out, add little more meaI
to it, and mix together, put it in shall
low dishes and set around in differ
ent places. Also have some water
convenient for them to drink. And iu
three or four days you will not be
troubled with rats. A good feature o.
the mixture is, it is not poisonous to
other larger animals. have had some
of my cows clean the dishes sometimes
and it did not hurt them in the least

The LAST OPPoRTUNITY.-The late
Colonel Robert &. Ingersoll, the
famous skeptic, told many stories OF
experiences which grew out of the
common knowledge of his skepticism.
One of these related to visit which
he once made to Rev. Philips Brooks
before DR.. Brooks became bishop.
Calling on DIR. Brooks, he was re-
fused admission because, as the serv-
ant said, it was "sermon day." and
some of DR.. Brooks's own home people
had already been denied admission
But DR.. Brooks learned that Ingersoll
was at the door and sent out word that
he should come in.
After the interview, and as Colonel
Ingersoll was about to leave, he said:
"Dr. Brooks, your man told me that
you had denied yourself to some OF
your home people this morning. Now
how is it that you have admitted me,
a stranger ?"
"Oh, that's quite easy" said Dr.
Brooks, laughing. "They are my
church members, and I shall see them
again, here or in Heaven but isn't il
right for me to consider your belief
and that I shall probably never meet
you again ?"-Youth's Companion.

SENSES OF SMELL. horse will
leave musty hay untouched in his bin,
however hungry. He will not drink
water Objectionable to his questioning
sniff, or from a bucket which some
odor makes offensive, however thirsty.
His intelligent nose will widen, quiver
and query over the daintiest bit offered
by the fairest hands, with coaxing that
would make a mortal shut his eyes
and swallow a nauseous mouthful at a
gulp. A mare is never satisfied by
either sight or whinny that her colt is
really her own until she has certified
nasal certificate to the fact. A blind
horse will not allow the approach OF
any stranger without showing signs OF
anger not safely to be disregarded.
The distinction is evidently made by
his sense of smell at considerable dis
tance. Blind horses, as rule, will
gallop wildly about pasture without
striking the surrounding fence. The
sense of smell informs them of its
proximity. Others will, when loosened
from the stable, 60 direct to the gate
or bars opened TO their accustomed
feeding grounds, and when desiring to
return, after hours of careless wander
ing, will distinguish one outlet and
patiently await its opening. The odor
of that particular part of the fence is
their pilot to it. The horse, in brows.
ing or while gathering herbage with
its lips, is guided in its choice of proper
food entirely by its nostrils. Blind
horses do not make mistakes in their
diet.-Horse and Stable.

PLAYING DoCToR.-Children are
quick at imitation, and have a talent
for making up games in which they
cleverly burlesque their elders. One
day two bright little children were
found playing "doctor." The youngest
child was the patient, with head wrap
ped in towel, and the older, the ply
sician, with silk hat and cane. The
mother, unseen by the little ones
listened at the doorway.
II feel awful bad," said the patient.
"Well fix all that" said the doctor
briskly. "Lemme see your tongue"
Out came the little red indicator.
"Hum Hum Coated !" said the
doctor, looking very grave indeed.
Then, without word of warning
the skilled physician hauled off and
gave the patient a smart slap in the
region of the ribs.
"Ouch !" cried the sufferer.
"Feel any pain there?" inquired the
doctor.
"Yes," said the patient.
81 thought So" said the healer.
"How's the other side ?"
"It's all right" said the patient
edging away.
Thereupon the doctor produced q
small bottle filled with what looked
like either bread or mud pills, anc
placed it on the table.
"Take one of these pellets" the
physician said, "dissolved in water

"How long mus take 'em"?'

A TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING

THE following is a copy of circular
l. letter which is being sent out by one
of the largest mercantile establishments
of the great northwest to their customers
throughout the country on the Importance
of keeping insured against loss by fire {:
DEAR SIR: During the past few months
the losses sustained by merchants,
through fires, in that part of the country
tributary to the st. Louis market, have
been so unusually large and disastrous as
to suggest to MS the advisability OF ad-
dressing our customers upon the I'M.
PORTANCE of keeping fully insured
at ALL TIMES. Within the past few
weeks four of our own customers have
lost their stocks and buildings entire,
without insurance, or so nearly so, that
the amount carried was totally mad
euuate to the risk assumed, and in two
or three instances, when the fire came, it
was found that policies for considerable
amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely
make a SECOND mistake OF this kind, but
the commonest feature Of the FIRST, is
the wiping out of the results OF years OF
labor and thrift and leaving those who
commit the folly of FAILING TO INSURE,
in a position whereby they have to face
the world i'm condition far worse than
when commercial life was first begun.
Think of the possibilities of having the
fruits of 20 years of labor swept away
within q few minutes, with no other lega-
cy than smoke and ashes and vain regrets
for what might have been prevented by
little foresight! To the wide awake,
conservative business man, the expense
incident to keeping his goods fully insur-
ed is just as legitimate and necessary rs
that of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire.
We may escape the consequences of fail
ure to insure for FIVE, TEN or TWENTY
years, but we are just as certain to be
brought face to face with it, sooner or
later, as we stay in business; therefore,
we say to you, if you are not now in
sured, attend to it before the sun
goes down!
With kindly assurances of regard for
our mutual interests, we are,
Very sincerely, your friends, --

TO REMOVE PAINT AND INK SPOTS
Paint spots, when new, are easily tax
en- out with turpentine. This will
make the goods stiff if allowed to dry
in, so remove it with naphtha, and the
naphtha with water. If the paint spot
is old, allow it to soak in the turpentine
until the paint is softened, then remove
with naphtha.
Blotting paper and warm flatiron
are useful in removing grease from
wall paper or carpet. The fatiron
must be warm enough to melt the fat
when the blotting paper will absorb it.
When the carpet has been soiled by
ink, instantly apply blotting paper
then milk, then blotting paper, and SO
on until the spot is out. Don't rub.

FARM NOTES.
Shelter sheep from cold rains.

Shelter sheep from cold rains.
Do not allow manure to accumulate
in the stables.
Sheep, as much as any other stock,
require dry bedding.
AS the roads get bad the loads should
be made lighter.
Old stock of any kind decrease in
value as they become older.
The most profitable stock to feed is
young, thrifty, growing animals.
1t is safe rule on very cold days to
increase the grain rations.
1t is loss not to feed sufficient to
maintain a good, thrifty condition.
Young animals are easily kept thrifty
if they are we'll sheltered.
Whether feeding two or three times
a day be careful to feed regularly.
A bad storm may come now at any
time. Be fully ready for it.
One advantage with broad tries is
that in hauling they do not cut down
so deep.
A good, well.protected feed lot will
be found quite convenience in winter.
All of the fattening stock possible
should be marketed this month.
Late fall blowing helps materially in
destroying the white grub.
Some advise narrowing down smooth
all fall or early winter plowed land.
Feed so as to make the most out of
the feed, as we'll as the most out of the
stock.
1t is not the amount the stock sell
for; but the amount of profit derived
that counts to the farmer.
After an animal is reasonably we'll
fattened, lighter feeding usually be-
comes less profitable.
A lot of stock uniform as to size,
color, weight and form will bring bet
ter prices than a mixed lot.
During the winter is one of the best
times to haul brush, old straw, or
bagasse and fill up washes or gullies.-
