Old Clothes Ornaments,

The rich are not unthrifty. That
probably explains why they are rich.
You have been told of the wealthy
wives in our New York Faubourg St.
Germain who after wearing q gown
twice or three times at most sell it to
a certain Sixth avenue dealer in Sec
ondhand clothes for about one-siXth of
it's original cost. Women in moderate
circumstances who know this dealer
keep themselves in finest regalia at a
reasonable outlay. Rich men are more
particular and less thrifty than rich
women. They despise the ''ole clos"
man and prefer to hand down their
cast offs to servants to do with as
seemeth good to them. But many

The DahIia In England.

The dahlia has become popular
among English gardeners. In the wild
plant the flowers are single, with dull
ray and yellow disk. The varieties Of
the cultivated forms are almost end
less.
The original was discovered in Next
co By Vincent Cervantes about 1854
and was first brought to the botanic,
gardens of Madrid, and the same year
it was introduced into England by the
then Warehouses of Butte. The plant
became extinct in Britain. 1t was,
again brought there in 1904. and in
that year is found the earliest men
ton of the dahlia, named from Andrew
Dahl, Swedish botanist and pupil Of
Linn2us.
In Mexico the tubers are cultivated
as food ON account of the quantity Of
inulin they contain. but in Europe,
though many times tried. they never
became popular.

Questions Answered

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the system
and that is all that they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get this reliable remedy at all druggists.

Distance Lends Enchantment.

In one of Mr.. Chases classes in
painting was a young chap who could
not paint pictures much better than
he could save money, and the allow
ance given to him by his father was
very often gone before he knew it. One
day Mr.. Chase was talking to the
class on the subject of perspective, and
this particular student did not appear
to get the idea very clearly. To make
it plain Mr.. Chase went back to the
rudiments to get good start.
"You understand" he said, "that the
farther you get away from any object
the smaller it appears?"
The young fellow shook his head.
NO." he replied doubtfully, "I'm not
so sure about that"
Mr. Chase was provoked and not a
little surprised at such ignorance and
said so.

spOnded the student, "but not all. Now,

Animals and Second Sight.

1t is a common belief that many ami
mails see ghosts and future events.
Kerner declares that they are endowed
with second sight. This faculty is
thought to be especially strong in dogs
and horses. Storks are known to have
foreseen the burning of houses on
which they have been wont to build
their nests and to have abandoned
them, taking up their abode on other
buildings or on trees in the vicinity.
No sooner had the anticipated confla
grafton taken place and a new house
been erected on the same site than they
returned and built their nests as be-
fore.

Farms and City Property In and About

Last spring we were among the people
of Edgerton and spoke to many about
prices of land about Lodi. We have
farms of finest quality, nicely located,
with good buildings, telephone and r. E.
D., good schools, and churches of all de-
nominations accessible, located from one
to six miles from Lodi, with prices rang
ing from 555 to 500 per acre. S75 per
acre will buy better farm in the vicin-
ity of Lodi than 500 will buy in the
vicinity of Edgerton. We have few
farms north of Lodi, lighter in soil, a
little sandy, that can be sold for S12 to
$50 per acre, is little quicker soil and
produces fairly.
Lodi is now known to be among the
best tobacco sections in the state. Mr.
Joyce of Edgerton was among US this
spring and will tell you this is true. Two
dollars and sc cents for the round trip

Denver, Nov. 4.-With nearly full
returns from the election in this city
and scattering returns from various
parts of the state there seems little
doubt of the election Of John Camp
bell, Rep, for member of the supreme
court. No other office was filled by
this years election. Chairman Miller
Smith, of the Democratic state cen
trail committee, says: Returns so far
received show that Wilson, DEM, has
carried this city by about $500 plu-
rality, but that the Republicans have
made gains in the state outside of Den
