One of our local preachers who

past had an unusual experience
recently, and it has begun to dawn
upon him that even godly people
are sometimes very selfish. Last
Sunday he preached three times
without being asked by any one
to dine. AS this part Of the Lords

ance of locusts and wild honey,

man suffered from an aching void

genial and hospitable neighbor-

A rumor to the effect that 10y
Bros. had sold their drug store in
this city and that certain party
would take possession August Ist
has been extensively circulated
during the past two weeks. Mr..
Austin Joy informs us that GER
tain individual of foreign extrac-
tion called upon him several months
ago and asked him for price upon
his establishment. Mr.. Joy ac-
commodated him, just as any other
business man would do, although
he was not particularly anxious to
sell. The foreigner thought the
price rather high, but after travel
ing extensively over the state came
to the conclusion that it was the
best he could do. Recently the
gentleman from the land of sauer-
kraut and beer spent week in La
Junta, accompanied by his wife
and child. He circulated the re-
port all over town that he had
bought out Joy Bros and would
take possession August Ist. When
the time arrived for turning over
the necessary cash, however, the
best he could do was to show up a
New York bank book with a
credit to his wife's name OF several
thousand dollars. As the lady was
not willing to make. the funds
available, the deal was Off Joy

stand for an indefinite period.

Get Your Share.

Are you getting your share of the vast
amount of money spent in advertising?
1t used to be all given to the publishers
ofnewspapers and magazines, but by the
latest method it is freely distributed
among the people themselves: that is,
among those who are alert and quick,
and can see an advantage when it is
offered them.
One of the most successful establish
ments IN America, the Woolson Spice
Company, of Toledo, Ohio, is spending
thousands of dollars in advertising their
Lion Coffee and they are pay ing out this
money directly to the people who pur
chase the coffee. Their plan is to enclose
in their one pound package of Lion
Coffee most attractive premium list
So costly are some of the articles on this
premium list that one wonders how they
can afford to give them away with their
good; but il must be remembered that
these premiums are bought in enormous
quantities and bought directly of the
manufacturers, so that they are secured
at about oDefourth the price the retail
consumer pays. No profit is paid to
shipper, wholesaler or retailer; the goods
are all bought at first hand.
This method Of introducing Lion Coffee
is az if you wanted to purchase some
article for which you would have to pay
Sl.00; the propr etor of Lion Coffee buy
it far you for 25c, and then give it to you
for the trouble that you take in letting
them know YOU are using their coffee.
he 'housekeeper who is alive to the
value of her patronage may now, by
little trouble, secure many desirable
articles from time to time at no cost. All
that she has to do is to cut out and pre-
serve the Lion head which appears on
the wrapper Of every package of Lion
Coffee These lion heads are received
bv the Woolson Spice Company in pay
for their premiums.
The new premium list which has in st
been issued in connection with Lion
Coffee is unsurpassed in its l,beraity
Some of the most attractive articles on
the market today are included in this
list.
1t is evident that the Woelson Spice
Company places great value on the
recommendation of satisfied customer,
for they believe the best advertising of
Lion Coffee is where some one who uses
IL cells friend of its good quality. 1t is
mostly in this way that its enormous sale
has been brought about. Many people
are 81 delighted with it that they feel it
a duty to recommend it to their friends,
and as every package contains premium
list with full instructions for securing the
articles offered, there is much interest in
buying Lion Coffee for household use.
Really, Lion Coffee is almost unsurpassed
in, its quality, and il is mystery how it
can be sold for such low price. 1t is
better than many other brands of coffee
which cott two or three times as much
1t would seem as though the time was
approaching when every family would be-
drinking this famous beverage.

Brownsville, Pa. Dec. 26.-The
search for the dead was kept up at the
Braznell mine all night. resulting in
the finding of five more bodies, max
ing twenty victims of the explosion.
The bodies were so mutilated they
have not been identified. A thorough
search OF the mine was made but no
more bodies were found and it is now
believed that the number of dead will
not be increased. The work OF remov-

all the nen have been accounted for.
They thought. however that only thr-

work of cleaning the mine to get 1t
ready to resume will take three weeks
