We love the man with l. e
rose on his tongue. the man
who sees the boys dirty i;.ce
but mentions his bright eyes,
who notices your shabby coat
but praises your studious
habits, the man who sees all
the faults, but who is quick to
praise and slow t., blame. We
like to meet a man whose smile
will brighten up deafness,
whose voice is full Of m lsic of
the birds, whose handshake is
an inspiration and his God bless
you a benediction. He makes us
forget our troubles as the
ravens dismal croak is for
gotten when the wood thrush
sings. God bless the man of
cheer. There is plenty of
trouble here but we need not
increase it. There is a lot of.
dying ahead of time. Elk.

Early in January the Illinois

EARLY in January the Illinois
Central directors met to delare
the one hundredth semiannual
cash dividend on the stock Of
that company. For fifty years
without a break the Illinois
Central will then have paid
cash dividends average over 6
per cent per annum, not taking
into account the valuable rights
which the company has from
time to time given to it's stock
holders. The gross ard ret
earnings have shown a wonder
full increase since July /, and
there has been some talk in the
street to the effect that the di-
rectors would next month
celebrate the occasion by put
ting the stock on a z per cent
basis. Nothing definate can be
ascertained as to this beyond
the fact that the company is
we'll able to pay the increased
rate.

Sioux City Tribune: 1t is not
even curious that the First
National bank of Remsen, Ia,
has been noted for it's large
deposits for many years. Some
say the people there must have
more money than those of
other communities. This is n OF
the explanation. The real
reason is that there is a live
bank manager there who has
made his Institution useful to
the community and then told
them of in a series of the most
intelligent ads ever published.
See the Remsen Bell news
paper for further testimony.

half Of the whole number and
to the mother one-half of the
balance and one-halfapple over
and to the daughter one-half
of the remainder and half an

for yourself without cutting an
apple. Then if she is willing
you can have her." He solved
the problem and how many did
he have?

most choked by the cough. The
same day l received an order
from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy. | at once pro-
cured a sample bottle and took
about three doses of the medi-
cine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely
disappeared and | was able to
preach three times on Easter
Day. | know that this rapid
and effective cure was due to

Do Men Dislike Clever W0men2

Why do men dislike clever women?
Is question that clever women have
felt impelled to ask themselves. They
might go still further and ask them
selves why most women also dislike
clever women.
The reason is the same In either
case, says the New York Tribune, for
sex does not make any special differ
ence In a matter like this. What
both men and women are looking for
is the pleasant, lovable companion,
and clever women have a way OF not
being companiouable. There Is apt
to be too much self-consciousnes
about them, for one thirg-too much
81" They cannot resist the tempta
ton OF saying bright things, and the
