OBSERVATIONS.

enemies.
Some men consider fiy-fshinl
reel sport.
A tlirt at 20 is apt TO be an old
maid at 30.
The little a man wants here be-
low is little more.
Some people are equally as disa'
greeable AS the truth.
A finished gentleman is one some
coquette has done up.
People who are intoxicated with
music must be air tight.
Syness is the only vice that does
not write itself upon the face.
All men are not born equal ;
only twins are born that way.
Sometimes girl refuses a man
in haste and repents at leisure
Some men seek foreign shores for
a rest and some to avoid arrest.
A dog is never hypocrite; when
he wags his tail he always means it.
The amateur photographer cares
but snap for any pretty girl he
sees.
Everything comes to those who
wait; it is now the autumn leaves
turn.
Perfection is made of trihes, but
its no trifling matter to attain per-
lection.
A man finds himselfin the hands
of hard creditor when he borrows
trouble.
An acrobat may be unable t. APP
precate Joke, but he is quick to
tumble.
Some folks run away to get mar
ried and some run away to get Ut
married.
Some women marry just to see
what kind of fool husbands men
will make.
No matter what happens you II
always find plenty of people who
predicted it.
Fortunately the average man over
looks lot of sins he is capable Of
committing.
1t is a pity the average man can't
borrow money as easily as he can
borrow trouble.
Everything comes 70 the man
who waits, but its different with
some women.
A head of hair is about the only
thing that is equal to more than the
sum of its parts.
Hair dye deceives people who
use it into thinking they are de-
ceiving other people.
The man who lives up to his OPP
porlunities is usually too busy to
live up to his income.
A mans reputation often de-
ponds upon the things that are not
found out about him.
Imagination is a magnifying glas S
that makes our troubles appear
much greater than they really are.
1t is a mistake to endow man
with imaginary capabilities. He
knows no more than is shown by
his works.
About the straightest thing in
this crooked world is the cutliue of
a railway on the map issued by the
company.
Sometimes a man attains a posi-
ton only to discover that nature h; s
not endowed him with sufficient
brains to fill it.
If you wish to keep your friend
you must laugh at his jokes, but
you are not bound to hear his
stories twice.
Make allowances for the follies OF
youth AMI hope for the bes'. The
cat, the gravest Of all animals, is
most risky when young.
A bee undoubtedly possesses a
powerful memory, says scientist.
This may not be true, but the man
on whose neck one happens TO camp
certainly does.

of the many who will only need a
light power.
That the initial test has demon
srated a greater capacity than had
been figured upon, is a good showing
for C. W. Greene, who made the plans
and developed the specifications. No
one not conversant with the making
of machinery can have an adequate
idea of the amount of work necessary
to build a new machine. To begin
with, working plans must be made;
then follows the patterns for the cast
ings, as we'll as the wrought sections,
have to be made to an exactness be-
wildering to the common everyday
workman, so that when the different
parts are assembled there shall be no
confusion.
That our home shops have sue
ceeded as well as they have is a source
of pride to the whole county. Du-
plicate engines can now be built in a
comparatively short length of time,
and there seems no good reason why
this branch of industry should not
assume large proportions.

CROSSED WIRES.

Telephone for Doctor Bel,
Uncle Reuben don't feel WE'LL
He has headache and his flesh doth crawl and
creep,
He is sore in every Joint,
Pimples rise at every point
He has tried all night in vain to get some
sleep.
Johnny, call the doctor quick,
Tell him Uncle Reub ia sick,
Say how he coughs and how he tries to sneeze,
Say his stomach isn't right,
Hain't got any appetite,
And when he walks together knocks his knees.
Mother thinks he's got the grip,
From its grasp he cannot slip,
Although he's vainly tried himself to cure.
He is worse than week ago,
Yes, he thinks he's very low,
But while he scolds, I'm far from being sure
Johnny, ring for sixty-nine.
Night boy wakes and gives the line
To butcher that has early left his bed,
Butcher has a job to-day,
Hog to kill for one McVey,
That accounts for all the strange things that
he said
Heat barrel of water hot,
Keep the old hog in the lot,
II rig up ana NIX MIN, Will soon be there,
Have helper strong and bold
His hind legs to firmly hold,
While we douse him till he parts with all his
hair"
Telephone is near the head
Ofmy Uncle Reuben's bed,
That accounts for how my dear old uncle
heard
The advice of DR.. Bell,
And he simply groaned Dwell,
Never mind, he uttered not another word.
But his blood did Percolate,
At a very rapid rate,
He felt better; called for something good to
eat.
Said LIE really was all right,
To go out and have fight,
If he CHANGED to see the doctor on the street.
Do not blame the telephone,
Or the boy that sits alone
AT the switchboard all the long and weary
night,
Though mistakes sometimes occur,
Chances are they favor you,
Just keep still and everything will come out
right. c. W. Scarf

Reflections of a Bachelor.

What a man cannot find out by

Maybe a man would not want

Question Answered,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of U.S.
ing anything else for Indigestion or
Billiousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appended
tbs, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
failure, etc. They used August flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimu-
late the nervous and organic action
of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green's Au,
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Sample bot.

Adam and Eve,

Probably our great ancestor
Adam, little thought of the trouble
he would cause posterity by eating
an apple. But now the question as
to how many apples he really did eat
is new difficulty.
How many apples did Adam and
Eve eat? Was it one or was it mil
lions? When the subject was first
mOoted the editor very naturally re.
piled, Why, one of course"
"No," said the assistant editor,
"Eve ate one, and Adam ate one too
that is two" -
Then the sub-editor passed along a
slip of paper on which was written,
Eve 81 and Adam 81, making 1862"
But the poet, who is a man of i'm
agination, capped this with, Eve
81 and Adam S12-S93."
Then the publisher tried his hand,
and his contributionwas, Eve 8, JAP
see how it tasted, and Adam S12,
equals 1854"
The poet, who dislikes being sur.
passed as much as he hates BARRIERS,
came up to the scratch again with
"Eve 8,142 see how4it -tyAted, and
Adam S1,242 keep her company
S9.3S4."
Then the humorist, who had been
listening, quietly handed in his con.
tribution, Eve SAP see how ii
tasted, and Adam 1924 ,210-der d
husband was he to see her eat alone
This equals 1872, 1852"
"But he had another object" said
the poet. "Eve s, 142 satisfy her Gu
riosity, and Adam S,242, 240.fy Eve
in her position. That makes $780,
$50"

to the coffee drinker. Coffee drink.
ing is a habit that is universally in.
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain,O ?
1t is almost like coffee but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, eff
fects the heart and disturbs the
whole nervous system. Grain-O
tones up the stomach, aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. There

Too Much Golf.

A farmer in the Iowa town of Bur.
lington was found the other day
knocking the cabbage heads to pieces
in his garden trying to drive them
over the fence, and it was declared
that he gone crazy watching people
play golf.
We have all along suspected that
the game was both contagious anf
malignant, and here is apparentl,
proof OF the fact. Now who will tel
us what golf germ looks like?

The work has been bindered some

Balloon Parted.

The fair at Rochester, N. H., closed
with an event not advertised to come
off. Prof. c. c. Bonette, the well
known aeronaut, was to make an as
cension. When everything was ready
he said to the men who helped him,
Goodbye boys, I'll see you later,
but how much later | don't know"
The next instant the ropes were cast
off and the inflated canvas shot up
ward, followed by the parachute and
it's occupant, Just as the breeze
caught the balloon those who we're
watching it realized that it had part
ed and that the gas was rapidly es-
Gaping. This fact was discovered by
the daring aeronaut at the same mo-
ment, and he instantly released his
parachute. The parachute filed
when he was within very few feet OF
the ground and must have slightly
checked his fall, else he would have
been killed. A man who was stand.
ing within two feet of the place where
Bonette came down, says that he
landed on his feet, his head and
shoulders coming in contact with a
post that protruded two feet from
the ground. No bones were broken
but his whole system sustained ter.
rible shock. He says that he was
up over 100 feet but could not have
been $50 feet from the earth else he
would have been able to control his
parachute.
