What rs Man 2

Man born OF woman is small
cabbage and few in a hill. In
infancy he is full of collie, paragon
ic and catnip tea; and in old age
he is full of cuss words and rheu-
matism. In his youth his mater
nal ancestor tsketh him across her
knee aud extends to him all the
sympathy in her nature with the
heel end OF her slipper, and when
he is a man grown he dodgeth the
tax collector and the sheriff the
rest of mis- life. He spreadeth like
camphor tree aud geteth a polit-
ical Job, and his friends cling to
him like sandspur to your pant
legs. He swelleth with vanity and
cutteth frozen water for a time,
but is melted like wax in fire at
the next convention, and cast into
the ash barrel, where his name is
Dennis. Out of Office his friends
forget to cling to him like a vine
around rotten stump, and he soon
goeth busted, which makeUh him
lie down in the cow pasture, where
the redbugs get in his hair and
beneath his underclothing. He
dieth out Of the world and goeth
TO place too warm to wear
clothes. Verify the last end OF
that man is worse than the begin
ming, and the band playeth, "a Hot
Time in the Old Town."-Ex.

After-Hoiiday Business.

1t would be almost as foolish 70
close your store for month or
two after the holidays, a. to dis
continue or neglect your advertis-
ing during the period. This is
not new thought. but it is not
properly appreciated by great
many storekeepers, aud for that
reason, it will bear frequent repe-
tition.
There is always after holiday
business that is worth asking for,
and the storekeeper who asks for
it in the right wsy-by offering in
ducements that show be really
wants twill get a great deal
more thai his share.
Have a good reason for making
reductions, and tell IN your adver-
tisement what that reason is. Ii
going TO take an inventory and
want to reduce stock before doing
so, hold pre- inventory sale and
explain its object in your adver-
tisement. If it is simply a matter
of livening up the after holiday
trade, say so, and print prices that
will prove it.
Good special sales held two or
three times a week during this
usually dali period, and advertised
in the right way, will give decided
advantage over the competition
who neglects his after holiday
advertising, not only bringing you
many OF the dollars that might
otherwise be his, but making a
great and more lasting impression
on the public mind than would be
possible at a buster time when
many other advertisers would be
clamoring for attentIon.-World.

The Christmas Number.

We have sent a number of sub
scribers to the Breeders Gazette
recently, with the request that the

been complied with, we believe, In

Christmas number although we
did not get one), and it is ''a thing

CHiLDREN'S STUDIES.
Five Hours Brain Work, the Maximum; Two
Hours Play. the Minimum.

'"---'-'''-'''-
The examining system and its
evils are character
lied as "a National Crime at the
Feet of American PARENTS" by
Edward Box, In the January La
dies Home Journal. "No child
under fifteen years of age" he con
tends, "should be given any home
study whatever by his teachers.
lie should have not more than
from one hour TO four of schooling
each day, the hours increasing
with his years. Outside OF school
hours he should have at least three
hours of play. After fifteen the
brain has another period of rapid
development, with special increase
of the higher faculties. -Four
hours of schooling, then, is not too
much, provided the child's physi-
cal being is capable of it, and in
time an hour of isolated study may
be added. But that is enough.
Five hours of brain work a day is
the most that we should ask of our
children, and the child should pass
at least two hours a day in the
open air. Our boys and girls do
not get enough fresh air and sun
shine into their bodies and natures.
The higher institutions of learning
understand the need of physical
development for brain growth far
better than do our lesser schools
and our homes-sad as it isl to
admit it."

a Business Combine.

Testimony offered before the sub
committee on transportation Of the
National Industrial Commission, now
sitting in Chicago, would almost seem
to throw shadow OF doubt on Mr..
Hanna's assertion that such thing as
a trust does not exist in the United
States. One witness, a prominent
merchant OF the Windy City, has
sworn that five men who daily meet
In secret session after the close OF the
Chicago Exchange, dictate the price
which Is to be paid to farmers for
their their grain on the day following,
and absolutely control that question.
But Hanna probably would say that
this was not a trust, but only a COM
bination for business purposes, with
