How to Pack a Trunk.

As regards the packing of
clothing in a trunk, it is well to
to bear in mind the following
simple rules:
Turn skirts, unless much trim
med, inside out.
Fold all skirts in three or four
from the straight seam.
Stuff all bodice sleeves with
paper. This prevents crushing.
Stuff all hat bows with tissue
paper for a similar reason.
Tulle, net or feather boas
should be packed in separate
cardboard box, which may be
placed on top of the dress basket
tray.
Don't fold fur coats inside out
This rubs and spoils the fur.
Roll all ribbons or sashes tight
ly and secure them with a small
pin.

intelligence Of Maggie, the Mare Who
Hauis the Mail

Maggie is a dark gray mare driv-
en- by J. S. Dresser of Dekalb, Ills,
who delivers mail on a country route
out Of that city. For six months
Maggie has drawn the light mail
wagon over the course (25 miles)
every day except Sundays, and she
has come to know every turn and
every stop almost as well as her mas
ter. Mr.. and Mrs. Dresser have con-
structed mail wagon built especial
" for country driving. Among 9th
er features it has a glass front, to
enable the driver 10 see ahead, and
below the glass is arranged set of
pigeonholes, where the carrier can
classify the mail matter. Maggie
has learned a few things about mail
carving, too, for she is Of an in
genious turn of mind. When she
nears box on the route, she looks
back through the glass to see if the
carrier is fumbling in the boxes. II
he is, she pulls the wagon up TO the
box by the roadside. If there is no
movement back in the wagon, that
fact to the faithful animal is equiv
alent to "no mall" and she lifts her
nose in the air and jogs down the
track as if there were no such thing
as a mail box near her.-Chicago

The Elephants Mouth.

The Elephants mouth is one of
the queerest sights in the whole of
the animal kingdom. It's size alone
makes it sufficiently remarkable, but
its construction is more remarkable
even than its size. 1t has no front
teeth, for elephants never eat flesh
or any food which requires tearing
apart. They have only eight teeth
altogether, four large yellow molars
on each side, two above and two be-
low. These teeth are about two
inches thick and the width of a
mans hand.

AS in every trade in life, there
are bad tuners among the piano
tuning fraternity. A bad tuner
can spoil piano by springing the
tuning pins and tampering with
the action. They make levers of
the pins, seringing them back or
forth to increase or lessen the
tension of the strings instead of
turning the pins in the proper
manner. A majority Of so called
tuners, sad to relate, perform
their work in just that way, so
that when once a family gets a
first class piano tuner they
should rivet him to their appreci-
atiye service with considerate re-
muneration and beware of the
newly hatched piano tuner.

Doctors and Editors.

The doctors are all friends OF
ours. We expect them to stay
with MS until death. Yet at the
risk of incurriug their displeas-
urc, we publish the following:
We don't know where it came
from, anymore than we know
whose rainspout the DOCTORS
medicine came from. We find it
in paper credited to Sex. If
we knew the author we would
gladly give his name, because the
article is really good. Here it is:
The doctor from Algona said
that newspapers are run for rev
enue only. What in thunder do
doctors run for anyway Do
they run for glory? One good
healthy doctors bill would run
this office for six months.
An editor works half day for
$500 with an investment of $4,000;
a doctor looks wise, works ten
minutes for $500, with an invest
ment of 3 cents for catnip and a
pill box that costs S1.37.
A doctor goes to college for two
or three years and gets diploma
and a string of words the devil
himself cannot pronounce, cult
'ates a look of gravity that he
pawns off for wisdom, gets box
of pills, cayuse, and meat saw
and sticks his shingle out full
hedged doctor. He will then doc
tor you until you die, at stipulat-
ed price per visit, and then puts
them in as thick as your pocket
book will permit.
An editor never gets his educa-
tion finished. He learns as long
as he lives and studies all his life.
He eats bran, mush and liver; he
takes his pay in triumph and hay,
and keeps the doctor in town by
refraining from printing the
truth about him.
We should like to live in A;gon-
a and run a newspaper about six
months and see if the doctor
would change his mind about run
ming a NEWSPAPER for revenue on
ly.
If we didn't get some glory out
of it we would agree to take one
of his pills after first saying our
prayers. If the editor makes a
mistake, he has to apologize for it
but if the doctor makes mistake
he buries it.
If we make one, there is a law
suit, tall swearing and smell of
sulphur, but if the doctor makes
but if the doctor makes one there
is funeral, cut flowers and a
a smell of varnish. The doctor
can use a word a foot long, but if
the editor uses he has to spell it.
If the doctor goes to see a
mans wife he will charge the man
for the visit. If the editor calls
on another mans wife he gets a
charge of buckshot. Any medi-
cal college can make a doctor.
You can't make an editor; he has
to be born.
The editor works to keep from
starving, while the doctor works
to ward off the gout The editor
helps men to live better, and the
doctor assists them to die easy.
The doctor pulls a sick man s
eg, the editor is glad if he can
collect his at all. Revenue only?
