NIiStletOc.

The mistletoe comes chiefly from
Brittany. Some TOO tons of the charm
ing white berried plant are exported
from French ports yearly. This mis-
tletoe is to the Breton what the pig is
to the Irishman-it pays the rent. The
peasants of Normandy and Brittany
cultivate the parasite on their apple
trees contrary to popular belief, it
rarely grows on Oaks-and it forms
their most profitable crop. A few
years ago the French department Of
agriculture decreed the destruction Of
all mistletoe, on the ground that it in
jured the apple trees. The peasants,
however, denied the impeachment, and,
as the order is not enforced. they grow
and export more "gui" than ever for
the Christmas enlivenment of English
and American homes.

A Zinc piece of work.

II tell you,' exclaimed the young
medical student, Our professor is an
eminent surgeon"
"How's that?" asked his chum.
"Well, fellow was brought in with
crushed leg. The professor said it
must come off. But by some means or
other he cut off the wrong leg"
DO you call that fine piece Of sur
gery?'
''Wait bit The professor said it
would be terrible for the poor fellow
to go about with no legs at all, so he
splintered up the crushed leg instead
of cutting that off, too, and now it is as
good as ever An ordinary surgeon
would have left the fellow legless.
Wonderful skill, the professors

An Effective Threat.

A youth was engaged as junior clerk
by firm of lawyers, and by way of
filling in his time and testing his worth
on his first day he was told to write
q letter demanding payment of a debt
from a client who was long in arrears.
To the great surprise of his employers
check for the amount arrived the
next day. They sent for the young
clerk and asked him to produce copy
of the letter which had had such an
astonishing result. The letter ran as
follows:
Dear Sir-If you do not at once remit
payment of the amount which you owe us.
we will take steps that will amaze you.

Ting Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not grippe
nor weaken the system They cure bilious
ness, jaundice, constipation and inactive ivers
by arousing the secretions. moving the bowels
gently yet etfectually, and giving such tone
and strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble
is removed entirely. These famous little pills
exert a decided tonic effect upon the organs
involved, and if their use Is continued for
few days there will be no return of the
trouble. Nick Doffing e. Co.

For some weeks the commercial re-
PORTS of Dun and Bradstreet that have
been published in the dailies have not
given the amount involved in the fail
ures, which has always been the most
striking feature of those reports for
years. Perhaps it is part of the scheme
to keep confidence from disappear
ing. The Springfield Republican got
the amount of the failures for October
from some source and remarks as fol-
lows concerning them: Commercial
failures were unusually heavy during
October, as reported by r. G. Dun &
Co. Liabilities of bankrupt concerns
aggregated s1S,3S7 SGT, compared with
about s10,700,000 for the month in
each of the years 1902 and 1901, 3d.
100000 in 1900, $5,665,745 in 1899 and
s14,l26,754 in the month of 1898. They
are the largest of any October since
1893, and do not include 81 banking
associations with liabilities OF $13,-

Just after election. The fool wage
earners are taken in by that scheme
year after year. Since Mark Hanna
carried OHIO, wages have everywhere
been reduced and thousands have been
discharged. 1t never affects the vote
of the republican party to reduce
wages and discharge men just after
an election. ALI they have to do Is
to start up the works just before an

they don't vote 'er straight, they will
shut them down. That fetches them
