The "Farmers'
Favorite" Is
Selected by the
Experts---

In competitive tests the Bickford &
Huffman Drills always carry on the
blue ribbon. They have done this
great many times In the past and Will
DO the same trick many times In the
future.
At the State Fair, Raleigh, N. c., In
October, 1900, the manager OF the
State Agricultural Farm, located near
Raleigh, selected the Bickford & HUH
man Combination Hoe and Disc
Drills In preference over six other
drills which were put up for selec-
ton at the same fair.
Recently the Virginia State Exper-
inental Farm selected the Bickford &
Huffman improved disc drill to be
used on the farm lately established by
Virginia. This selection was made af-
ter a close comparison with every 9TH
er make of drill sold on the Richmond
market.
The Farmers Favorite-that is the
Blckford & Huffman Drill, Is used on
the Clemson College Farm.
Are these facts not enough to con-
vince the most skeptical? II not II
you will give us the opportunity by
coming to see us we will point out the
various advantages Of these drills that
are not embodied In any other make.
We have them for sale and prompt
delivery at the right prices and on the
easiest terms.

An Experience Meeting.

Speaking Of New England hospi-
tality," observed the parson as he
combed his side whiskers with his fin-
gers and looked thoughtfully at the
design in the tahlecloth, II am es-
pecially impressed, because I've just
come from up there. The recollection
of the night I passed with dear
brother in a small Massachusetts town
Is still fresh upon me.
After a frugal supper and family
prayers" continued the parson, Il was
piloted upstairs and shown my room.
The room was unheated, and 1t was six
degrees below zero outside with the
north wind blowing a gale. My room
was a north room and the wind which
ratified the windows blew the curtains
out from the glass. With chattering
teeth and the gooseflesh standing out
like hives, I jumped under crazy
Quilt and landed between two clammy
sheets. I drew my knees up under
my chin and hugged them with both
arms all night long. When merciful
sleep came to me in six and seven
minute snatches I dreamed that l
was a turkey in cold storage and an
Arctic explorer adrift on an tce-pan.
Again, my ice-packed body was be-
ing shipped to sorrowing friends in the
south. My teeth chartered so hard
and so long that I wore them down an
eighth Of an inch.
AT five o'clock in the morning there
came a timid tapping on my chamber
door. Come in 1 shouted.
1.-The cook with lamp in her hand
opened the door. Excuse me, doctor,
she said, but want to get the butter.
We always keep it in here because this
is the coolest room in the house."
"Out in Montana last summer" be-
gan the girl, who had listened most at
tentively to the good doctors winters
night tale, 1--WE stopped late one after
noon at a squaw-mans house and
were invited to stay all night. AS we
had been riding all the day we gladly
accepted the invitation.
1T was a two-roomed log house, the
sitting room being also the bedroom.
After supper the squaw brought fresh
sheets and made up the double bed.
This certainly is like the generous
west we said one to the other. 1t is
most kind and hospitable for these
people to give up their own bed to to-
tai strangers and we felt somewhat
conscience -smitten at permitting 1t,
though the squaw in her broken Eng
lish insisted. After the light was out
we began to get restless. We tossed
and turned and could not sleep. At
last 1 said, Mary, something is biting
me-
Me too said Mary viciously.
I'VE lighted the lamp and there they
were-dozens Of them-running for
cover. l never put in such night in
my life. We fought them all night,
but when one perished a dozen came
to bury him. We didn't close our eyes.
AT daylight the squaw opened the
door and stood at the foot Of the bed
facing us expectantly. Sleep pooty
goot?'
mo, not very I replied.
Bugs pooty bad?'
mighty bad
"Sa,' nodded the squaw, 'dats why
we don't sleep here no more-sleep in
corn crib '"-Chicago News.

Married at the home Of the brides
parents, John Hogan to Miss Matilda
Bottleson. The bride was beautifully
attired in a green basque with skirt
to match, caught up over blue denim
petticoat, a red jacket to correspond
with her eyes and hair, a blue hat with
a red feather, white shoes and black
stockings. The groom wore the con-
ventional ducking overalls with
wamus to match, straw hat and kid
gloves. They were married in the
kitchen of the palatial home, which Is
IA by Is. The firemen played an over
ture on the horsecart bell as they
passed under a bridal arch OF sun
flowers and hollyhocks. John had not
money enough to hire a minister, so
he had a justice to come in and marry
them and worked out his road tax for
pay. The groom is a knock-kneed,
pigeon-toed fellow, who drifted in here
at the hobo convention. One leg Is
longer than the other and eyes don't
match. He chews, smokes and fiddles
for dances. He is we'll liked in society.
The happy bride was born of honest
but we'll meaning parents. She could
walk alone at six months; at ten she
could run real fast, and has never
slackened her gait. She has many
friends-most Of them dead ones. The
happy couple took bridal trip to
Wesley, and will then be at home with
the old man until kicked out. The
Tribune wishes them long life and
happiness"
