The Hsrrison County Farmers

In our opinion the selection of
Missouri Valley AS the place for
holding The Institute was the ve,y
best that could have been mad.
There are two very important
subjects that should he considered

Good ADVICE.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep-
sia and liver complaint. More than
seventy-five per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects;
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habituel costivsness, palpitation of tn.
heart, heartburn, water brash, gnawing
and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth
coming up of food after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and
get bottle of August Flower for 75c.
Two doses will relieve you. Try it.

THEY WORE FINE DRESSES
WHY THE GOBLET WEDDING RIOT

New York Police Were Afraid TO Treat
WelI-Gowned Women as Severely
as If They Were Men.

NEW YORK, Nov. n.-At COMMISSIONS
Greene's request Police Inspector McLaugh-
lin to-day made a report on the disorder
at the Roxburghe and Goelet wedding yes
terday, when the crowd surrounding the
church, mainly women, made it difficult for
the bride and guests to enter the church.
The inspector says the reason the police
were not more severe In taking care Of
the people was on account Of the great num-
Der of well-dressed women. This, he said,
prevented the police from handling the
crowd as if it had been composed of men.
He found that seventy-fve policeman could
not manage the crowd and he was forced
to send for the reserves.

While one abides in the United States,
it is just as well to speak English as she
is spoke here, and not as our cousins across
the water prefer it. 1 am moved to say
this by the experience of a Washington
woman who has just come home from Hot
Springs. She has spent a great deal of time
in England, and she has a ~near-English &C
cent and vocabulary in which she takes
great pride. Some little time before she
left the Springs she wrote to her husband
in Washington of her pressing need of foot
gear.

wrote, land get me a pair of boots. The

Now her husband Is a plain, unimagin-
alive man of United States habits and
speech, and boots to him meant boots. He
didn't concern himself to wonder whether
milady wanted boots for riding or wading,
he knew simply that she said she wanted
boots, and boots she should have. So the
lady came up from Hot Springs with the

expensive pair of riding boots in her trunk.

Speaking of dancing, makes me think of
something a young man who teaches
several classes of children and young peo-
pie told me not long ago. In one Of his
classes there's a mite of a girl of seven,
the daughter of a physician. She's as love-
ly as a fairy. but, unfortunately, she's
aware of the fact, and gives herself the
airs of a woman Of the world. One day the
teacher spoke to her before the class, and
as is his way with infants, used a term
of endearment.
Turn your tees out, darling" he said.
When the class was over, the little lady
came up to Kim, and made her courtesy.

don't want anybody to hear" she said.
Then standing on tip-toe, she whispered in
his ear:
please don't call me darling before peo-
ple.'
