Some people have a way of
their own when it comes to
spelling. .....
1t is as certain that a law
SUIT is mans enemy as that
whisky is mans enemy
When a baby gives a shrill
cry, every one in the house runs
to it, and when it keeps it up
every one runs from it except
it's mother. {
No trouble to raise boys; but
glrls must have their hair
combed and wear white dresses.
And white dresses don't do a
thing to the washing.
Speaking of the departure Of
old fashioned customs: what
has become of the woman who
took the table cloth to the
door after a meal and shook it?
The main trouble with APP
piles this year is they are too
big to eat. Whether you take
a big bite or a little one, you
are bound TO rub either your
chin or your nose on the apple.

When a man has saved a
thousand dollars, his amition
leans to $4,000. If he sets the
limit of his saving at $40, 900 he
finds when reaches it, that the
limit has bounded to $40, DOG.
It is the same way with the
woman who is putting up fruit.
The more jars she has on her
shelf, the more she wants, and
she will skin, pit and put up as
long as there is fruit in sight.
She has more than the family
will eat, but that makes no diff
ference; she has the greed in
her veins as the man has who
is boarding his money.-Atchi-

For a man who has done as
much public speaking as Gov.
Folk he has been wonderfully
fortunate in never getting his
foot into his mouth. But if it is
true as reported that Folk said
on being asked what he thought
about Bryan's position on rail-
road ownership, that Missouri
had had disastrous experience
trying to own and manage rail-
roads and that the idea would
never be popular here. if Folk
said anything like that his
good luck deserted him then
and there. Can it really be
true that Folk is Jealous OF
Bryan?-Palmyra Herald.

Well, what do you think of

Exports of coal and coke
from the United States in 1905
aggregated over $3l, 900, 900 in
value against $11,000,000 for
1895, a decade earlier. The
United States holds third place
among the nations as an export
er OF coal, and first place as a
producer. Scientific American.
With that fact staring the Re-
publican party in the face, 1t
places a prohibitive tariff on
New Foundland coal and makes
or causes the poor of New York
and New England cities suffer,
1t is almost as great a bur-
lesque as that of a tariff on
wheat and wool. We export
-four and have to import wool.
