Every man has had ancestors
of some sort.
An optimibt is a man who
polishes up the dark side of life.
Many a NAH who takes off his
hat to the lag will dodge bic
taxos ID.
Clothes may not make the
man, but they sort of classify
him.
Lots of people view life through
the wrong end of the telescope.
The heaviest collection plate
doesn't always indicate the most
religion.
The woman who sues for a
mans favor may live to sue for
freedom.
It's the unexpected that hap
pens, but we generally bring it
on ourselves.
We always hate man who
has grasped an opportunity we
failed to see.
It's alright to take things as
they come, but it's better to go
after them.
From a woman's point of view,
suffering in silence takes all the
pleasure from it.
Lots of people spend their
money to make show, only to
have show bust.
Even with a doctor practice
doesn't make perfect, but it
often makes him rich.
There isn't anything much
more deception than a fve-min-
utes' walk from the station
New York Times.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1906-09-20

square ones in the same ware are
pretty ornaments.
Dress suit cases with extension
bellows sides, which, when not
in use strap tightly into the case
are convenient.
Not only laces but batiste and
the batiste embroideries are
dyed to match the frock material
where one tone is desired.
A straw colored hat in small
round shape with little pink ros-
es and pink satin ribbon bows at
back is charming style for the
blonde who looks pale in blue.
A necklace of u number of gold
chains in which at intervals were
round gold rings with tiny gold
roses, hanging from which were
pendants of pearls is the latest
fashion.
When the skirt of light weight
wool is finished with wide tucks.
a satin ribbon bit wider than
the tuck sewed underneath and
showing below adds to the dec
orative effect of the tuck causing
it to set out somewhat and fur
nishing an effective border.

treasury for NOE tnan two

When you pass pig in pen
it is hard to imagine how good
pork will taste next winter.
The conversation of two per-
sons past so is devoted chiefly
to an attempt to recall names.
A good many men take credit
for not kicking a man when he
is down. Why kick him at all?
If you want your plate filled at
dinner eat with a woman who
has been used to waiting on
boys.
After a man passes go, if he is
extravagant, he is made to feel
that he is wasting the children's
money.
NOSE, III we 90 to heaven we
hope there'll be no Monday
there: Monday is the meanest
day of the week on earth.
After a woman has been mar
ried about so long she becomes
a dog in the manger. She does
not care much for her husband
herself, but she does not want
any one else to have him.
You will notice that the lady
sitting ahead of you has an aw,
full time to keep her hair up il
she has got pretty hand; and
if there is a diamond on it hel
hair just won't stay up.

Ice and the Teeth.

Too many iced drinks in sum-
mer have a deleterious effect on
the teeth, and unless the dreaded
visit to the dentest is to be the
sequil to summer festivities,
great discrimination should be
practised. Ice drinks should in
variably be taken through a
straw,
Ices eaten with spoon should
be vigorously eschewed by the
of the brittle teeth. No one who
wishes to ward off the day when
dental accessories make life a
misery indulge in an iced drink
Immediately after plateful of
hot soup.
Too much tea and coffee has al
so bad effect on the delicate
enamel WHICH covers the teeth
and hard brushing in addition, is
to be condemned, a soft badgers
being preferable in cases where
the enamel coating is thin.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1906-09-20

Yates, republican and former
governor, attacked Speaker Can
non for his attitude toward Or
ganized labor. Ben f. Caldwell,
democrat and former congress
man attacked Speaker Cannon's
labor record, and when Governor
Yates came to speak he said:
"Mr. Caldwell has thrown down
the gauntlet for me to defend
Speaker Cannon, but l am not
prepared to do so. l do not pro-
pose to let Congressman Cald-
we'll put me in an attitude of de-
Tending the rule of Joseph G..
Cannon, speaker of the house of
representatives. | decline the
honor, thank you. l am for an
eight-hour day and for the d.

States senate in killing the uni
versal eight-hour labor bill. ]
decline the challenge of Mr..
Caldwell to defend the attitude
of Joseph &. Cannon or the Unit
ed States senate. Neither is the
republican party in favor Of
these things"

Fashion and Etiquette Hints!

Lawns are the correct things
for hammocks.
Pie knives should have dull
finished edges so as not to LAGER
ate the gums.
The proper way to wear smile
is on the interior.
Widows who would be popular
will insist on alimony or life in
surance.
Convicts will affect stripes
this season.
Cats will be out of fashion in
dog days.
Bathing costumes will be made
without demi trains this season.
Chatfeurs, base ball captains
and burglars will wear masks.

study to the old foot ball rules.
Sawdust is the proper break

The Breath of Life.

It's a significant fact that the
strongest animal of its size, the
gorilla, also has the largest lungs.
Powerful lungs means powerful
creatures. How to keep the
breathing organs right should be
mans chiefest study. Like thous-
ands of others, Mrs. Ora A.
Stephens, of Port Williams, o.,
has learned how to do this. She
writes: "Three bottles of DIR.

my cough of two years and cured

An Important Message.

A well-dressed young man ap-
preached the desk in telegraph

when my boy was two years
old he had a very severe attack
of bowel complaint, but by the
use of Ohamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy

The new mohairs are beautiful,

Square sofa pillows in dark

Black kid false uppers to use

bottom by one large button are
useful.
