A farmer from neighboring town
walked into an Ellsworth grocery store
one day the past week and said to the
proprietor: 81 would like to pay my
account, please" The merchant care
fully and mechanically figured up the
amount and said to the individual who
seemed to be wrestling with some try.
ing proposition: 81 wasn't uneasy
about the account, but if you want to
paw it now it is just $1,000" The face
of the farmer instantly frightened up
as he replied, "TO that amount add
81. 40 for peanuts" The merchant with
an astonished and half suspicious look
then said: "Why, Mr., you haven't
bought peanuts for over two years. y
The farmer then muttered: 81 know 1t
and this is the reason. have been
coming to your store twice every day
and each time l have taken three pea
nuts, amounting to six peanuts per day,
thirty-six each week, ia every month
and 1865 peanuts per year. During the
two years that you have been in bust
ness 1 have taken without permission
II, 736 peanuts, amounting to fifty-foul
bags of fifty to the bag, at . cents each
making 1910. Of course there were
DAYS when / missed, but l generally
make that time up when come t.
town." The groceryman took th'
money and the farmer went his way re
joicing. How nice it would be If every
one were honest!

Johns Letter.

When | was half-grown cub and
along about haying time, / would tease
father, boy-like, to let me NOW. lie
would tell me that would get enough
of that later on, and later on he bought
me "rig," and nearly every year since
then | have done more or less of that sort
of thing. This year it drags. Having a
suspicion that the scythe was in fault
and not the weakness incident to age,
we chose another, hung it without grind,
ing, and for three mortal hours we loped
off with rythmical swing and with
quite a good deal of JUNCTION, and we
caught on to the idea that a mistake had
been made in the date of our birth and
that we are not so all fired old after all.
You may tell our esteemed contem.
porary that it was in the scythe and
that fellow who can lope off with q
rythmical swing and with quite good
deal of JUNCTION, isn't as old as he looks
and is eligible. What say?
Our grass is very thick and fine at the
bottom and particularly where we top
dressed. Some claim that it is waste
to manage in that way. Opinions diifer
and experiences also. So do soils and sc
do seasons. -,
Our apple trees blossomed bountifully
but few apples appear.

he probably will not try. He is siA
months my senior. AS boys we seldom
if ever had scrap and it was always

that his disposition was of milde
type. -

Base Ball.
OXFORD I; SOUTH PARIS O.

Il
By the size of the score it would seem
that Paris was badly outclassed by Ok
ford Saturday afternoon, but such is NOT
the fact. The teams are we'll matched
and were they to play again it would be
hard to pick the winner. Oxford was
fortunate in having its best batters come
to the bat when hits were needed while
Paris flied out to Oxford's outfield sever
al times when hits would have meant
runs for them. Although Oxford made
| s hits to Paris 5, Paris gave the Oxford
outfield chances while they had only
one, showing that they hit the ball hard
throughout the game. Cole and Adams
again did thepitching and both did we'll,
Cole having s strikeouts to his credit
while Adams struck out only 6, an I'M
usually small number for him.
In the first inning Cole reached first
on an error, Fifield singled putting Cole
on third and he took second, Wheeler
flied out to Nelson and Cole trying to
score on the play was thrown out at
the plate. Shaw struck out. For Ok
ford, Pike received base on balls, Foss
flied out to Fletcher, DeWolfe was safe
at first on an error, Pike reaching third
and DeWolfe second. Wilson then
struck out and Adams went out Cole to
Wheeler. In the second, Berry the first
man up singled and went to second on
an error but was caught between second
base and third, while the next two bat
ters went out. Oxford went out in
order. In the third Fletcher reached
first on an error by Stone, Pike got to
first on an error by Adams, Cole hit to
Stone and Fletcher was thrown out at
third, Fifield hit to Stone and Pike was
out at third, Wheeler flied out to Davis.
Oxford again went out in order. In the
fourth, Shaw struck out, Berry singled
but was doubled up with Parlin. For
Oxford, DeWolfe was safe on first on
Wheeler's error, Wilson struck out,
Adams singled and DeWolfe scored.
Nelson drove out two-base hit and
Adams scored. The next two batters
went out on infield hits. In the fifth
Paris went out in order for the first
time. Oxford did the same. In the
sixth, Cole singled, Fifield sacrificed,
Wheeler flied out to Nelson and Shaw
struck out. For Oxford, after two men
were out Adams singled and scored on
Nelson's second double. In the seventh,
Monk singled after two men were out,
but Fletcher struck out. For Oxford, a
base on balls to Stone and hits by Pike
and DeWolfe gave Oxford another run.
In the eighth, Pike flied out to Bowie,
Cole was safe on Foss' error, Fifield
sacrificed, and Wheeler went out Adams
to Pike. For Oxford, hits by Wilson
and Nelson and errors by Fletcher and
Wheeler gave Oxford three more runs.
Paris went out in order in the ninth.

TRIUMpHs OF MODERN SURGERY,

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old treat
ment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an anti
septic and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness. Keep
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and
it will save you time and money, not to
mention the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale by
