PIowin' Corn.

You may talk about your city DUE
With leisure and fine clothes,
Who walks the streets with cane In hand
And ''specs" across his nose.
He likes 10 guy chap like me,
And laugh at me in scorn
When tell him OF the fun have
On the farm a plowin' corn
He says in some great moneyed scheme
He means TO have share,
Because tis his ambition
To become a millionaire,
And that the flower would pluck
Would only prove thorn
For who ever knew a millionaire
Sho made i, p.owin' cornf
He does not know the treasures
That are hidden in the soil.
He does lot know the pleasures
That are won by honest toll.
I'm glad I've been taught,
From childhood's early morn,
To know how sweet are the rewards
or work like plowin' corn.
And when his health is broken,
Though millions he may own,
He'll find that for his loss sustained
No money will atone.
And as he struggles on through life,
So feeble and forlorn,
He'll think Of what told him
About the fun of plowin' corn.

Every year our government destroys
nearly half million dollars worth of
soiled or torn bank notes, and after they
have been reduced to pulp are used for
making railroad car wheels. From a
bank note to car wheel is about as
radical transformation as the one
brought about in the case of all weak,
nervous and sickly people who will use
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the favorite
American remedy for stomach, liver and
bowel complaints. A wineglas iful be-
fore meals will put the stomach in good
condition to digest the food and prevent
the bowels from becoming constipated.
Every one should keep it in the house to
prevent belching, fiatulency, insoml IL
and nervousness, also to cure indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, and liver and kidney
troubles

The Liuburger Dog.

Another species OF the German dog is
the limberger cheese-eating dog. One
particular dog. owned by the driver Of
a butcher wagon, would not permit ms
TO pass his house unless I gave him &
piece Of Iirnburger cheese. The owne1i
of this particular canine is very fond Of
the che csc, and says he brought up the
dog on Iimburger, and beer and pumper-
nickel This dog is very good-natured,
and 1t really seems as though he was
laughing al times.
Another letter carrier at this iuncture
interrupted the conversation and said
that the mongTeI is more dangerous and
vicious than the weIl-bred dog.
The most dangerous and vicious dog
is the yellow, dea-5itten, boo-taiIed,
spangle-cyed. boneyard mongrel," ne

owned by a negro. IN that case it's

that hunger induces them TO try 70 find
a meal in the pants and legs Of anybody
who comes near them"
The Suburban Dog
The letter carrier has other expert
Cnces with dogs
People living out in the country as
