To turn your mind and whiskersf to
some other avocation,
We've stood for many fearsome things,
from out in that location,
But tiiis9is going just a bit beyond the

We've stood for tales about your crops

For liver troubles and constipation
There's nothing better in creation
Than Little Early Risers, the famous
little pills
They always effect cure and save
doctor bills.
Little Early Risers are different from
all other pills. They do not weaken
the system, but act as tonic to the
tissues, by arousing the secretions and
restoring the liver to the full perfor-
nance Of its functions naturally.

THAT TIRED FEEL1NG.

L
The young man with the microbe of
Incidence never goes up. He is loaded
down with them, and couldn't climb up
IL he wanted to. Furthermore he can
not be boosted by influential friends
or anybody else. A young man not for
~ miles from here recently pulled" a
friend into good position. The friend
got into the place and then got out
again. Said that the work was too
hard and the pay too little. That po-
sition would have been worth just SIS

MISUSE OF RURAL TELEPHONES.
LLeon Reporter.
Many subscribers to the rural farm
telephone lines running out of Leon
cannot resist the temptation to take
down the receiver whenever they hear
the phone ring and listen to the con-
versation. If the person who first
rings listens carefully he can hear the
click, click of the receivers all along
the line as they are taken down. A
prominent farmer had occasion to call
a party on the phone recently, and
heard the receivers all along the line
come down, so he thought he would
teach them lesson. After waiting a
few minutes he simply said: There
will be no church tonight" and hung
up the receiver. There were to be
special services at the church that ev-
ening, and when the minister arrived
he was surprised to find that the jani-
tor OF the church was the only person
there, so the church was closed. and
no services held, and still some people
wonder how the word got out.

THE RIGHT TO CRITIc1sE.
IKanawaha Record.1

Public offices should not be used to
satisfy personal vengeance. People In
such positions are there to serve the
people, who have right to know what
they are doing. The public officer can
expect to have his methods criticised.
There is distinction, however. be-
tween criticisms Of public issues or
methods, and personal criticism. The
former privilege is the pride Of the
free-b born American citizen, the safe
guard of the public rights. 1t would
be blessed boon to wrong doors If
the power Of the press could be crushed.

Longest Paved Street.

City engineers in the various depart
mehts have become involved during the
last two weeks in a discussion as to
whether New York City has the long
est continuously paved street Of any
city in the United States. Some engi'
neers said that Broad street, Philadel-
phia, held the record, and others that
Delaware avenue, in Buffalo, leading
out to Tonawanda, was the longest
continuously paved street in the coun-
try. Some people think that Broadway
is the longest street in the United
States continuously paved" said Engi-
neer n. P. Lewis, Of the Board of Esti'
mate. From the standpoint Of length
Broadway is one Of the longest streets
since the names Of sections IN the
Bronx have been changed. Broadway
at the present time extends from the
Battery to the city line. There is a
break in the pavement Of about half
a mile. In a few years the breaks In
the pavement will be filled in, and then
there can be no discussion as to New
York's right to claim the longest con-
tinuously paved street in this country.
New York will then have street fif-
teen miles in length through the Dor.
oughs Of Manhattan and the Bronx
up to the city line. Broadway became
the longest street in the country by the
change in the name of the Boulevard
to Broadway and also the change in
the name Of Kings Bridge Road to
Broadway."-New York Times.

Navel Orange Analysed.

The California navel orange is the
most popular winter fruit Of the day
so that some recent data as to its
makeup should be Of special interest
The rind of such fruit makes up TWEEN
ty-eight per cent. of the whole, while
the pulp is represented by thirty pei
cent. and the juice forty-two per cent
The latter when analysed gives 1880
per cent. Of solids, 1O.46 per cent. of
sugar and 81 Fer cent. Of citric acid
Few Of the oranges shipped to Eastern
markets approach these figures actual.
ly, as owing to the plucking of the fruit
before II is fully matured the fruit does
not attain its greatest perfection.

May Manton design shown combines
the broad shouldered effect with the
shirrings at the waist line, which give
the effect Of belt. and is as new as 1t
is attractive. AS illustrated it Is made
Of white null with yoke Of lace, but
soft wool and silk fabrics are appro-
pirate, as well as the cotton and linen
ones.
The waist is made over a fitted
foundation which closes with it at the
back. The yoke Is faced onto the
lining, and the waist proper is shirred
and arranged over it. The sleeves are
shirred at their upper portions to form
continuous lines with the waist, and
again between the shoulders and the
elbows. They can be made in elbow
length, as illustrated, or in the long
bishop style, as shown in the small
cut. If a transparent effect is desired
the lining can be cut away beneath the
yoke and beneath the full portions OF
the sleeves.
The quantity Of material required for
the medium size is three and one-fourth
yards twenty-seven inches wide, three
yards thirty-two inches wide, or two
and one-eighth yards forty-four inches
wide, with fve-eighth yards of all over
