King and the Cooks.


There's trouble in the palace
Where King Alfonso bunks-
A kitchen revolution
And there is grief in chunks,
For cooks have grown disgruntled,
And five have gone on strike,
And with them they have taken
The chef whom they most like.
From tower down to dungeon,
In all the rooms and hooks,
Excitement wild has followed
This walk out Of the cooks
The courtiers are scenting
A culinary plot.
And cavaliers are saying
The culprits should be shot.
The king is nearly frantic
And asking what it means
When some green hand is scorching
The royal pork and beans,
And when the pie is heavy
He will not eat bite
Through fear that it is loaded
With deadly dynamite.
And when the bread is soggy
There's new attack of woe,
For then the king imagines
There's poison in the dough,
And in his trepidation
He grabs the plate of bread,
Calls up the trembling butler
And hurls it at his head.
Alfonso's ma knows better,
For she has read in books
How victuals have been ruined
By new and unframed cooks,
But Just the same she's fearing
That if her son partakes
OF what is placed before him
He'll have all sorts of aches.
These fears and these vexations
Have all been brought about
Because strike was started
And chef and cooks walked out,
And now tits said Alfonso
Will on the front door pin
A sign as follows: "Wanted-
Good Cooks. Apply Within"

The hunting season is on and be-
fore its close there will probably be
the usual list of fatalities. These
cases of accidental shooting are as a
rule the work of men unfamiliar with
the use of firearms and not of ex
perienced hunters. A man who will
shoot at a moving object in the woods
without being able to determine
whether it is an animal or a man
should be classed with the man who
kills his friend with an "unloaded"
gun and both should be labelled
"dange rous."

LETTER TO ERAsTUs G. COLLISION,

BARTON, VT.
Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the tale,
how a woman bt at two hard ware dealers in
Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to sell
Deyoe cad and zinc in that bright town; and
fsi ed. Reluctantly took Mrs. E. r. Bowman
druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for more
than LIS gallon. Mrs. Bowman can. She
has sold about all the paint that has been
sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our artists ma
terials. Had some sense and force, besides
she easily learned that cheap is dear in paint
and told the p ople.
Mr.. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe for
rooms that had always taken gallon; had
half left.
Mr.. +. II. Hitler, jeweler, painted Devoe and
says it goes further-no particulars.
Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought it txpen-
sive before he bought it; brought back nearly
half Of his paint, and said it was the cheapest
Job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal satisfaction
So much for a cheap paint town with a bright
woman in it.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,
New York.

1t has been suggested by several of
the state papers that the temperance
question should be kept out of the
next ca mpsign and the present law
given a longer trial. For some rea-
sons this seems to be best, however,
IL the license law can be shown to be
responsible for the present dry time

peal at once.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years it was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co..
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful- 1t acts
