WAS READY.
Hobson Was Dead Set Against Home
Doctoring, But He Gave
In to Tt.

Mr.. Hobson sneezed, and Mrs. Hob
son remarked that he must have caught
cold. Mr.. Hobson is one OF those men
who hate to have a fuss made over them
lie has been trying to impress that fact
on his wife's mind for 20 years.
What makes you think I've taken
cold?" he demanded, irritably.
you sneezed," replied Mrs. Hob
son..
THAT doesn't signify" He paused
But it does signify 1t is one OF
the first signs of a cold. You went out
this morning without a thing round your
neck"
II always do"
"And now you've caught cold"
Mr.. Hobson returned to the reading
of his newspaper without replying. In
q few moments Mrs. Hobson said:
Henry"
"Well?"
you've got to do something for that
cold"
Cant | sneeze without being accused
of a cold? Is there any law against
sneezing, or do | have to get a permit
from the health DEPARTMENT."
Il don't see anything foolish in taking
a cold in time" Mrs. Hobson said, calm
ly. IF you would let me put your feet
in hot water and mustard, and get you
to bed
Mr.. Hobson resumed his paper, and
as he did so he felt an annoying tickling
in his nose. He struggled heroicaliy
for nearly half a minute. Then he
sneezed again.
"There!" said Mrs. Hobson, in melan-
choly triumph. You've sneezed again!"
"I've sneezed twice, and I'm not
ashamed of it," Hobson replied, coldly.
IF | feel like it, I'm going to sneeze
again. I'll"
Three successive and violent sternu-
tations interrupted him.
Nov, will you let me heat that wa
ter, Henry?"
mo, thank you"
"Will you take some quinine, then?"
mo"
Mrs. Hobson sighed.
"Sneezes," Mr.. Hobson explained
"are commissions caused by an irritation
of a sensitive membrane. The irritation
may be caused by the introduction Of any
small particle of foreign matter, such
as a grain of dust. Snuff has been known
to produce a sneeZe; SO has pepper.
You can get up a fairly good imitation
h. t;n.y1;Dn +bn nnctri1c u,ifb n ctraur
1t is not, as you imagine, an infallible
indication of a cold"
Il suppose" said Mrs. Hobson, re-
flectively, that you would object to an
onion poultice, too?"
Hobson rose from his chair and start
ed for the door. With his hand on the
knob he paused to say, with dignity:
I'm going up to my room now. I've
got some work to 90, so | had better
be alone the rest of the evening"
Hobson sneezed twice on the way up
stairs. Then the door of his den closed
explosively. Fifteen minutes later the
door opened and Hobson's voice called
down the stairs: ''Maria!"
What is it. dear?'
eff you think | really ought to take
a hot footbatf, | suppose it won't do
any particular harm whether I've sot
a cold Or not. Would it be troubling
you too much to heat the water?"
Mrs. Hobson's voice replied, cheer
fully:
ITS all ready now, dear. I've heat
ed it and got some blankets nice and
hot. When you're ready I'll bring them

What Modern Farming Means.

Slipshod farming has had its day-too

Made His Mouth Water.

The late George Francis Train was
once dining in a fashionable restaurant
where the insistent attentions of a coll
ored waiter were very annoying. Say"
said Mr.. Train, IF you-don't bother me
for the next Is minutes I'll place some
thing beneath my plate that'll make
your mouth water" The colored gen.
tleman bowed courteously and anticipat-
ingiy waited in the rear. After Mr.. Train
had left his seat the waiter turned the
plate and there found something which
not only made his mouth water, but his
teeth grate-a piece of chewing gum

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 25.-(Special)-
That Rheumatism can be cured has been
proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey
A. Clawson, we'll known here. That Mrs.
Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad
all her acquaintance know. They also
know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story
of her cure as follows:
Il was an invalid for most FIVE years
caused by Infiammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the tine. The first
year | could not do as much as a baby
could do; then l rallied a little bit and
then a relapse. Then a year ago the govt
set in my hands and feet. ! suffered UNI
told agony and in August, 1873. when my
husband died l could not ride to the
grave.
Il only took two boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and in two weeks | could wait
on myself and saw my own wood. | dug
my own potatoes and gathered my own
garden last fall. Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in
the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the
Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid
out of the blood.

afterwards to substitute sense for the non
sense. Readers will be glad to learn of one
