Bright and Early.

A close-fsted farmer in southern
Iowa, believes in burning the candle at
both ends when it comes to hired
men. He had one, but needed an.
other one badly After two weeks
search he ran across a very promising
young fellow at the country seat look

ately.
At o'clock in the morning the
farmer called the hired men. The old
hand was out in a minute and started
for the barn. About fifteen minutes
later the new man came down stairs
with his grip in his hand.

following notice recently appeared in
the Atchison, Kan Globe: " Joe Tack

Missouri Pacific between Wichita and

with a picture and when he was in this
Office today, we asked him about it. He
says he had terrific pains in his stom-

druggist recommended it TO others who

Gift TO Charity Crew.

Many years ago a Frenchman nam
ed Bourne died and left to the poor
of hi town few acres of no great
value. For more than two centuries
the lands yielded only a few dollars
a year. The nearest large town be-
gan to spread and soon took in these
lands. The value increased amazing
ly, SO that to-day the revenue from
them amounts TO more than $4,000 a
year. From this sum sixty-elght poor
persons drew pensions OF $50 a year
and twenty-four old men and women
live rent free and enjoy an annual
present OF $40 besides.

But a story as charming is told of a

his treasured mail budget. was seen
escorting his lady love home through
the ill-lighted, muddy streets of little

crossing. The devoted squire did not
