for him. His studies in the diseases

prosecuted with an unyielding applica-

a wonderful success. In his treatment,
he has not remained satisfied with the
old well beaten course. His system EN-.
braces new ideas new medicines and
new operations. and those combined

We have no time for the fellow who
first disfgured the dear word Christmas
by writing it Xmas. II first came under
our observation in sermons written for
the Inter Ocean by a Chicago preacher.
When he wanted TO write the name of
our Savior he merely made x; when he
wanted TO use the word Christian he
made it Xian, and SO ON. We class such
writer's with the men who invented
barbed wire and the corn shredder, Be

cHRiSTriAS SONG.
BY WILLIAM HAUGHToN,

In many song and story
BY many costly gem.
The Lord OF life and glory
The Babe OF Bethlehem
Comes to the heart appealing,
That He the heart might win,
His tender love revealing
II we would let Him In,
Low Graded In manger
Hard by the cattle stall,
Was laid the heavenly stranger,
a Babe, yet Lord ofall.
1t is the same sweet story
We tell IL DER again
BE to the highest glory
Peace and good will to men.
The world IS wiser, better
The midnight gloom Is passed;
There's many broken fetter
And dawn draws near at last.
But yet thy paths imped ed,
Oh Christ, by sense and sin.
Thy Spirits might is needed
Toilet Thy glory in.
Go tell the happy tldings.
Where wretchedness Is found.
Through all Its haunts and hidings
The sin sad World around,
To every tribe and nation
The gift OF God proclaim
A free and full salvation
In our Redeemer's name.

A few sales previously made have come
to notice showing what growers are re-
ceiving where trades are effected. The
average is about 10 cents.
There are many indications present
that the large consumers of Wiscon-
sin tobacco are stocking mp with the
1900 crop sufficiently to carry their fa;-
tories through two years, and thus be
independent of the present crop when 1t
comes on the market next fall. This
circumstance is cited as one of the rea-
sons why the 1900 tobacco has met with
such unusual sales, and at prices here
tofore unknown for Wisconsin leaf.
Reports coming from New England
say that growers aga having the same
trouble in delivering the new crop as
was experienced in this state a year
ago, resulting from shed damage In the
curing of the crop. Some buyers are
repudiating contracts and nearly all
demand a reduction from the price
agreed upon.

4 Bonus ot Fifty Cents.

A missouri justice of the peace who had united hundreds of couples in marriage had an experience the other day which caps the climax, so to speak, over anything that has come before him in that line. A happy couple from an out of town district came into his office and blushingly stated to him that they wanted to get married" They did not seem to differ materially from the ordinary run of young couples that so often come before him on similar missions. The judge was "willin'," and after he had instructed them in the prelimi- nary arrangements for the ceremony he asked them to join hands and they were made one in the good old stereo- typed way. Then came the circum- stance that was paralyzer for the justice. "How much is the freight, Judge?" said the young groom. Well, we make no regular charge for performing the marriage ceremony" replied Justice Warburton. "The law allows me a fee of S2.50' All right" said the groom, "here is fifty cents, sthat will make you $500 all together" and before the startled justice of the peace had time to re- cover from the shock, or to realize that he was stuck" the economizinS bridegroom took the blushing bride by the arm and whisked her out of the office.
