Behaved Like a Lady.

Describing the ways and manners OF
English Protestant clergymen in the
rural districts, Il London p;lper says:
we have often been told that the
Church Of England has placed an
educated gentleman IN every parish
This educated gentleman will often
enter Il worl<man's cottage with his
hat on, and his wife, with her Lady
Bountiful assumptions, is equally OBJ
jectionable. There is story told Of
la. laborer's little girl who WAS asked
to a. children's party at the rcctory.
Her mother told her to try to behave
like q lady. On ncr arrival the child
said to her hostess, Does your husband
drink?' She was sent home as rude
little girl, and her mother asked the
reason. Well. mother the child
answered. you told me to try to be-
have like Il lady. and most of the
ladies' who come to see you always
ask, Docs your husband drink? "
This story may safely be taken as
|of newspaper reporter manufacture.
No laborer's child ever behaved like
Fa lady" in that precocious fashion.

fact is the basis Of the following stor.
from Judges Magazine:
One day the recruiting sergeant

at least seven feet high. He accosted
him in English and proposed that lie
should enlist. The idea of q military

Patrick that he at once consented.

the king will not give you so much"
"Oh." said the Irishman. "sure don't
know Il word Of German"
But" said the sergeant. these you
can learn in q short time. The king
knows every man in the guards AS

and ask you how old you are; YOU
will say twenty-seven: next, how long
you have been in the service; You
must reply, three weeks finally, il yo1

Pat soon learned to pronounce his
answers. but never dreamed Of learn

In three weeks he appeared before
the king in review. His majesty rode
UP to him. Patrick stepped forward
with present arnls!"
How old are you?" said the king.
.:Thrce weeks" said the .Irishnlan.
How long have you been in the
service?" asked his majesty.
"Twenty-scven years.

king.

A Matter of Interest to Everyone.

Just a word readers, in reference to
your holiday shopping. We want to
impress upon your minds as forcibly
as we are able the advantage to be
gained by buying in DEBORAH this
year. Never in the history OF the
city were there as many complete
stocks in all lines. The merchants
have anticipated your wants and made
extensive preparations to take care OF
your demands. We are willing to per-
sonally guarantee that you can do as
we'll if not better in DEBORAH than
you can anywhere, and you owe it to
the local merchants to Go your trading
here. Above all things, steer clear
of the catalogue houses. Buy your
goods at home, and keep the money
circulating here. There is no excuse
for you to send to the catalogue
houses for your goods, and there are
scores of reasons why you should not.
Watch the columns of this paper.
Patronize the merchants who adver
tise for your trade. and you will get
full value for every dollar, or thai
dollar returned. Can you get as mucl
from the mail order houses?

II Bailey had a Million.

A question is going around in the
exchanges. what would you do il
you had a million dollars?" The
most of us would buy big red auto
mobile. hire Chauffeur, buy ton
of coal and pay for it in advance, get
some new suspenders and q watch
charm with a diamond in it, quit
hunting for one dollar bills when our
wives ask us for money. buy steak
that is grown farther away from the
horns, own trotting horse that could
trot, have half the populace swearing
that we stole the million and the
other half trying to steal it from us.
and finally die and fill six foot grave
about the same as our ancestors have
done before, and then have the doc
tors and undertaken double their bills
while they tried to look solemn and
brag on the virtues of the deceased.
What was left of the million would
then be fought over by the heirs and
a half dozen grass widows would
spring up from Kalamazoo to Pough-
kepsie and swear that they were our
wives truly and legally before we
were married to our sure enough wife,
and they would weep and scatter the
scalding tears abont the court room
where some lawyer who had taken
the case on shares would whisper in
their ears till the twelve jurymen
wouldn't know writ of habeas COR
pus from pile driving notice. And
then when the lawyers had got all
they could, some impecunious cuss
with a wart ON his nose, and an eye to
business, would make our wives be-
lieve the moon was made of green
cheese, and when he got the key to
the safety deposit box there would
be high jinks and the devil take the
hindmost to pay, till the last Of the
million went like soap suds down a
rat hole. Now we don't want to be a
millionaire. Britt Tribune.

Electric Line Surveyors Leave.

On Thursday Mr.. Woodbury. and
four sons, who have been doing the
surveying for the proposed Minneapo-
is, Rochester g. Dubuque Electric
Railway, dropped their work here and
departed for Minneapolis. The occa-
sion for this was the receipt of tele-
gram from Mr.. Mason, the promoter.
stating that the rails and ties for the
Rochester city line had been shipped
and would be on the ground in day
or two. and that work would be
pushed through the city of Rochester
during the winter. In an interview
with Mr. Woodbury. just before leav-
ing he stated that he had made sur
veys to point four miles east of
DEBORAH, and had been able TO estab-
lish correct lines for the road both in
to and out of the city of DEBORAH at
not more than one and one-half per
cent grade, and that there is no ques-
tion in his mind as to the building OF
the road, and he thought that if mer
enough could be secured it could be
completed next year. The line
through the city of Rochester, some
of the larger bridges and perhaps
some other city work will be done
this winter, and in the spring work
will be pushed both north and south
from Rochester. We hope that hi
prediction will be fulfilled, and thai
before snow flies for another winter
an electric car will be passing
through DEBORAH at stated intervals
