The Smallest She Had

A conductor on the O'Fallon park
division of the st. Louis and Suburb,
an railway had such a good Iun oil
business Sunday afternoon that he had
dificulty in keeping himself supplied
with small change. Many persons
who patronized bis car handed him
dollars and bills of larger sdenomina-
sions in payment of their fares.
The conductor, however, managed
to get along fairly we'll until wom-
an. carrying tiny infant, boarded his
car. When he approached the wom-
an for her fare she handed him IS
bill.
lis that the smallest you have,
madam" queried the conductor, fear
ing another stringency in change.
The woman looked at the conductor
and then at her baby, and made this
surprising reply:
Yes, / have been married only
twelve months
II niver was so old while have
been workin' on the road. said the
conductor afterward, in telling the
motorman of the incident.-St. Louis

able to stand strain. Then, very likely at the
most unfortunate moment, break occurs, and
precious time and money are lost. All this is
easily prevented by little forethought and
care on the part of the owner. Every one
owning horses should be supplied with a good
leather preventative, and good axle oil.
These two things are necessary to the largest
economical use of working outfit, or pleas
ure equipage.
Observation has shown that no oil pene-
trrtes leather so deeply and resists the drying
effects of sun and wind SO well as Eureka

cause of containing acid, hurt the leather.

Coach Oil. very large reduction is made in
the necessary repair bills. Boston Coach Oil,
by the way, is very much superior to Castor
Oil 1t has splendid lasting qualities, will not

management will do well to ask for these oils.

There is a good deal Of form and cere'
mony about the making Of the Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation. 1t Is composed by the
President himself and in most instances
written out in his own hand. When this
Is done the document goes to the state
Department where it is carefully COPIED
in ornamental writing that is almost like
engraving on the official blue paper OF
that department.. The next thing needed
on the document is the great seal OF the
government. This seal is kept by the
clerk Of partlons and commissions. and It
is very carefully guarded under lock and
key. Its keeper win not produce 1t with
out a special warrant signed by the fres''
dent. and an impression Of the seal is
quite a ceremony in itself. When the
proclamation has been thus duly signed
and sealed many copies are made OF 1t oJ
clerks, and one Is sent to the Governor
of every State In the Union. 1t Is also
given out then to the press agents. who
telegraph It al over the United States
Each Governor, as he receives 1t. issues
one himself for his State.

A Well Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world today is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while Is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from an impure state of the
blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century and are sold in
every drug and medicine store, plain
or sugar-coated.

ThaDksgi~ings of the Revelation.
There were eight Thanksgiving days
appointed by the Continental Congress for
observance among the colonies during the
war Of Independence. After the one called
for the purpose Of celebrating the peace
treaty. which was held In 1884, the day
was allowed to lapse until 1850, when
Washington took his seat as President.
The idea in these early days was to offer
thanks on some special occasion. That
our ancestors could find eight such occa-
sions during the dark days Of the Reyolu-
ton shows that they were ready I'd be
thankful on somewhat slim provocation.
But it also shows that the gobblers sAsd
