A colonial shrew who was threatened
with the ducking stool was once saved
by this plea:
You wish to duck Ann Willott TO
cure hcr," her defender declared. Now
If she be not cured where IL the gain in
ducking herr And if she he cured all
the women who now keep n guard over
their tongues through distaste to bc
likenCd to such known, notorious and
contemplate scold ms Ann will do So
no longer; but although ii is not like
any should become such rs she, yet all
will scold a little more than now they
do. the check of her example being re
moved. Now. it is better that Ann. he
ing single woman without family to
atiiict. should go unpublished and un-
duckcd. but dcspiscd by all, and wag
her tongue as she will, standing there
in for the whole town, than that she
should be silcnced and the tongues of
other women run more free
This argument seems to have pre-
vailed. for Ann Willot was never
duckcd. Youths Companion.

A Missouri editor who was about to
pull up and leave for lack of support
sarcastically remarks in parting That
editors don't need money. ''Don't
worry about the editor" he says, 'He
has charter from the State to act as
a doormat for the community. He'll
get the paper out 'somehow, and stand
up for you when you run Tor office,
and lie about your pigeon toed
daughters tacky wedding, blow about
your big footed sons when they get a

your biddy wife's second marriage.

Watch for the Bargains.

Good thing coming for men and
boys. While in the East recently Mr..
Billstien, buyer for the Columbia
Clothing Co. captured great prize
for men and boys. A few weeks ago
the Edmundson Perrin Co. of Smith
field Street, Pittsburg, Pa, went into
bankruptcy and their enormous stock
valued at Sl50,O00 was bought at
auction by Spear & Co., the furniture
Dealers of Pit.sburg, for about fifty
cents on the dollar. Last spring the
bankrupt firm added a clothing
branch TO their business and as Spear
& Co. are not in the clothing business,
the Columbia secured that part of the
stock, consisting of clothing for men
and boys, hats caps etc, paying a
good deal less than even half for the
goods they are now on their way to
Superior and as soon as they arrive,
you'll hear from them 1t is the most
fortunate purchase of this kind ever
placed on sale in this city.

bedside with the exceptions OF brother
and sister whose health would not per-
init. In willing spirit she went for
ward, but she was not afraid Those who
knew her well will readily recall the
distinguishing traits OF her character

home was center of loving influence
where they exercised cheerful hospi-

in poor health for couple of years but
bore her suffering very patiently with
never murmur or complaint. She died
In full hope of blessed Resurrection

prepared her fer the place.
The earthly duties are laid aside and
she enters on the heavenly life In Thy
