The Cook of Spotless Town, you see,
Who takes the cake as you'll agree.
She holds it in her fingers now.
1t isn't light-but anyhow
Twill tighten her domestic woe
A cake Of plain SAPOL1O.
This lean NJ. d. is Doctor Brown,
Who fares but i'll in Spotless Town.
The town is so COMPOUNDED clean
1t is no wonder he is lean.
He's lost all patients now, you know,
Because they use SAPOLlO.
A strong interest soon sprang up as
to the location and environment OF
Spotless Town, in response to which an
excellent map was published, and tho
territory was named Shining State.
spotless Town, in Sparkling County,
was designated as the capital.
This municipality was in the middle
of a section of country possessed of
great natural advantages in the way
of water courses, hills and plains. 1t
had, however, one disadvantage, that
of proximity to most unsalubrious
and offensive region, the very name of
which, "Filthy State" perfectly de-
scribed its character. 1t was, ne. ar
theless, but a short time before the con-
trast with this unpromising section be-
came beneficial to the citizens Of Spot
less Town. Lots were bought and
houses built by persons who were glad
Of the opportunity to escape from such
places as Grimeville, Dingy Village
and that branch of Muddy River known
as Rusty Fork.
It must be understood that there art
many things about a residence in this
town that appeal to the thrifty; for in.
stance,
They need no lamps in Spotless Town,
Because the town is always bright.
For when the sun is shining down,
The pots and pans shed forth theil
light
You ask the girls what makes them SO
They'll answer quick, SAPOLIO.
Spotless Town has a well-attended
church. 1t has club which announces
the election of William Mckinley as an
honorary member. That it has Town
Council where the executive action is
repeatedly used to promote cleanliness
and suppress bad morals.
Lawbreakers are almost unknown
among the residents. Even the people
who are not professedly godly are very
clean. Storekeepers are happy because
they have no bad debts, and their Gus
toners enjoy life because they have nc
fear Of substitution, and a toddHnl
child can do the family marketing a:
well as her mother.

"PATRICK HENRY"
For Women,s Troubles, Too.

New Baden, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-Mrs. An
ton Griesbaum, Jr., has been very Ill.
Female weakness had run her down so
low that she could not do her house
work. She had tried many things, but
got no relief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a new remedy,
which is better known here as a cure
for Brights Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy
and Rheumatism, worked like charm
In Mrs. Griesbaum's case. She used
three boxes and is now .>v woman,
able to do her work as well as ever
she was. Her general health is much
improved, and she has not single
symptom of Female Trouble left.
Dodds Kidney Pills are making a
wonderful reputation for themselves in
this part Of the State

Fable.

Now the Horse, being sensitive to ridi-
cule, paused as they were about to enter
the gates Of the city.
"You look so like 80 cents" protested
the Horse, regarding painedly the wom-

"Well, moneys supposed to make the
mare go!' retorted the woman, with a
loud laugh.
Saying which she belabored the beast
vehemently.
This fable teaches that the gift Of

or else go back into the tunnel to proba-

that at least three men were drowned

that cabbages this year are so poor as 10
be almost useless for food.
The light and inferior supply Of veSe-
tables not only has caused the prlce on
everything from potatoes to parsley to
soar, but the rush of buyers to substitute
fruit for the almost unobtainablc yege-
table has caused the price of fruit TO
reach an unusual figure. Dealers say
that the price of all fruit is based to
considerable degree upon the market price
of apples. Apples this year sell at So Il
barrcl--the same article that went at 81

quality of the fruit. which is usually UNI
touched by fluctuations of the common
grades, has been selling nearly 90 per
cent higher than year ago.
Berries have been so scarce this year
as To command more than double price.

THE HOT SPELL.
Buffalo Cool az a Cucumber While
Other Cities SweItered.

Other Cities Sheltered.
During the hot spell that has been ex-
perienced throughout America the latter
part Of June and the early part of July,
q comparison of temperatures, taking in
the principal cities of the United States
and Canada. is most interesting and
would hardly be believed; but the figures
are authentic, being compiled by the gov
eminent official Of the United States
Weather Bureau. Taking the city Of
Buffalo, for instance-=this being the Pan
American Exposition city and the objec-
tive point of thousands Of travellers who
are interested in knowing the weather
conditions of that city~and comparing
figures with those Of eighteen other cities
throughout America, the comparison is
most noticeable.
The summers in Buffalo are without
doubt the most perfect on the continent.
Every day there is cooling breeze watt
ed over the bosom Of Lake Erie that
keeps the temperature down and tenn
pers the humidity of the atmosphere; 1t
Is rarely that the mercury reaches 80 de-
grees. During the most oppressive days
Of the late hot spell while the thermome-
ter was 90 degrees in Chicago, 90 degrees
In st. Louis, 90 degrees in Boston, 90
degrees in Montreal, Cd degrees in To
ronto and 81 degrees in Detroit, the tenn
perature Of Buffalo was 81 degrees. The
highest that the thermometer recorded
during the week was So degrees, compar-
ed with record in other cities Of a tenn
perature ranging from 90 to 1O4 degrees.
1t is, therefore, seen that anyone con-
templating trip to the Pan-American
Exposition need not postpone their jour-
ney on account of the hot weather, as
Buffalo is one Of the coolest places on
the continent and conditions will I'M
doubtedly be maintained during the sum-
mer, judging from the records of past

Resnectfn1fx Referred.

As the Green Bag has 1t, Chief JUS
tice Marshall used to narrate with great
glee the following correspondence on a
point of honor between Gov. Giles, Of
Virginia, and Patrick Henry:
'FSir," wrote the Governor, 81 under
stand that you have called me bob
tail politician. | wish to know If 1t be
true, and If true, your meaning.
''W. r. GILES"
Patrick Henrys reply came promptly:
''Sir, do not recollect calling you a
bobtan politician at any time, but think
1t probable that l have. I can't say
what did mean; but II you will tell me
what you think it meant, I will say
whether you are correct or not. Very
respectfully,
PATRICK HENRY"
This was leaving it to Giles with a
vengeance, but as there was no further
correspondence, the Governor of Vir-
ginia must have read satisfaction some
where between the lines of Patrick
Henry's brilliantly equivocal reply.
