and then lay aside your horn,
there's not a soul in ten short
days will know that you were
born. The man who gathers
pumpkins is the man who plows
each day, and the man who keeps
it a humping is the man who
makes it pay. The man who adj
vertises with short and sudden
Jerk is the man who blames the
editor because it didn't work.
The man who gets the business
has long and steady pull, and
keeps the local paper from year
to year quite full. He plans his
advertisements in a thoughtful,
honest way, and keeps forever
ut it until he makes it pay. He
has faith in all the future, can
understand sudden shock, and
like a man of Scripture, has his
business on a rock.-The Toma-

An exchange says that lying
on hands for complaints, espe-
cially in children, is now taking
the place of Christian science. A
North Crandon mother cured
her boy of the cigarette habit
with one dose. She laid her right
hand on substantial slipper,
and then laid the slipper where
it would do the most good. It
effected a cure and a relapse is
not expected. Forest Leaves.

by the ship news reporter in a l5-knot

Sene furnished by the Standard Oil Com

The absence of 1hirty-two story buildings,
cleaning with myriad lights from count
less windows. After dawn came Captain
Henry proceeded up stream and found
Manhattan Island in a condition hardly
ut for publication. He got as far as AL

not IN session and the natives We're in
hospitable, he came back and sailed Tor
