When Choosing
A WIFE

A man Of sense wants not only good
looks. but charming manners, genial
temperament. So IL IL when a GENTLE
man is in search of suit or overcoat.
Sweatshop clothes are frequently
made from nice looking cloth, but
character il lacking. The cloth is not
shrunk like High Art Clothes, in
stead Of High Art linen canvass, 9TH
ers put in cheap burlap. Instead of
hair cloth stiffening as in High Art
clothes, cheap clothing has some poor
starched material.

As ItHappens.

Men are like the leaves that fall:
Some strike on rough spots hard and
bare
And some float gently down where all
Is green, as if with tender care
Some kindly hand had deity planned
Soft little places for them there.
And oft the ones that fall upon
The places that are soft and green
Go tumbling from the verdant lawn
While Others from where all was mean
Through trying ways, when many days
Are ended, reach the pleasant scene.
Some go with all the winds that blow
BY every passing zephyr caught.
And where the fields and wales dip low
These castaways at last are brought.
While many lie through wet and dry
Where first they CHANGED to fall aud rot.

Discussing the sheep department of
the Iowa experiment station, c. r.
Reynolds says in The Drovers' Journal:
This treatment gets careful attention
IT Amcs. Commonly the lambs are
about two or three weeks old before
docking. The instrument used is a
knife with a sharp edge in the hands
OF careful man. As n rule, the tail is
cut TO a length Of one and one-half
inches. The skin IS carefully pulled up
before cutting. so that II will roll back
and more o. less cover the wound and
thus hasten healing. The college has
experimental with various devices for
docking. and among others the hot
clippers, but has not found them prac-
ticable. The general assumption is that
knife is good enough. If well handled.
and If there is anything better 1t would
be 4 sharp chsel and a block.
Not great deal of castration Is done
at the college since the majority. If not
all, OF the lambs produced are pure
bred and to n considerable extent will
be used purely for breeding purposes.
When castrating is done. II is previous
to docking. Professor Kennedy al.
vises that docking be delayed for n day
or two after castration. and then. II
there are any signs Of Inflammation
the docking has a tendency to remove
the fever.

happened that good brother in n church
In one OF the rural counties in Pennsyl-
vania passed to his reward and all the
community crowded to the church fun
eral to hear his virtues extolled. The
minister made most of the occasion. not
only eulogizing the departed saint, but
entering into and discussing many details
OF his private and public life. There was
rustic and hum of approbatian in the
congregation when the pastor cOnclud-
ed his extended remarks and took the
hymn-boOk preliminary to starting off
the choir in appropriate song. Ii hap
pened that in the gathering there was
an occasional attendant at the church
who had spiritual gifts In fact, he pro-
iessed among his acquaintance TO be
able TO communicate with departed spir-

all present. as he had seemed to be doz-
ing, arose in his place well up in front.
and in a confident voice, remarked:
Il wish TO state that have Just had n
communication from our dear brother
Everybody turned TO near what was

state continued the speaker that he
has been cognizant of all that has been
said about him. lie tells me that a good
many things have been said concerning
his life here below that are not So" The
speaker sat down and every eye in the
congregation was turned toward the
minister. That worthy seemed imper-
turable. He gathered up the hymn-book
again, however, and showed some in
ternal disturbance by putting it down
again without giving out the hymn
Finally he said:

"An arrow studded with the most
costly of stones. tipped at both ends
with pure virgin gold and headed with
the feathers Of the rarest birds" Such
is the description given of the ''Polon
zelo arrow" which in 1434 was pre-
sented to Sir John Dalcourt by a Span
ish gentleman. This wonderful arrow
was made in 1904 by an ancestor OF
the Spaniard's, and every stone and
jewel with which IL was set was said
to represent a human life cut short
through its instrumentality. The stones
indicated the number Of men to whom
II had carried death. while the curl
ously fashioned gold and silver Jewels
represented the women who had fallen
under its poisoned point.

WOULD YOU DO 1T?

Would you buy groceries of a grocer
who had no scales? Would you buy OF
dry goods merchant who had no yard
measure? Would you employ carpen-
ter who had no saw? Ii such men ex-
listed would you expect them to sue
coed?
Why then expect farmer to sue
coed who does not take a good live, up
tO-date agricultural and live stock pa
per? A paper OF this class is just as
much necessary part OF the tools for
the farm as the scales for the grocery
store or the saw to the carpenter.
When man iD any kind of business
secures the necessary tools for that
business he can do better work and be
surer of success If he gets the best.
When a farmer secures farm paper
he should get the one that is publish
ed in the territory and by men who un-
derstand the conditions under which
he lives.
1t is absurd to seek agricultural in
formation from paper published In
another State and by men who know
nothing Of Kansas conditions. Cash
paid for such a paper is dead expense.
Cash paid for the home printed and
progressive paper is an investment.
The "Old Reliable" Kansas Farmer
is the ouly paper that exactly meets
the requirements OF the farmers and
livestock men Of this State.

ments by which we can send you the

Err for Sl.35. Send your name at once.

SPRING AILMENTS.

There Is an aching and tired feeling;
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion
impaired, and little or no appetite, no
ambition for anything, and feeling
that the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that during
the winter, there has been an accum-
ulation of waste matter in the system.
Herbine will remove it, secure to the
secretions right exit, and by its tonic
effect, fully restore the wasted tissues
and gives strength in place of weak
ness. SOC at Geo. P. Wilder's.
