Mrs. Saint. of Jewell county, re-
ceived an income of $70 from the
cream and eggs she sold during
March.
A Junction City man who adver-
tised for wife got letters from sew
eral married anen saying he could
have theirs. sf
The Smith county poor farm is
money maker. 1t sold $500 worth of
hogs last week and has 100 head left.
A Kansas poor farm devoted to hogs
and alfalfa will keep all the poor folks
and pile up money in the bank. -'
Slam from the Osborne Farmer:
The Topeka federation of women's
clubs is talking of buying a home of
their own. Just what club woman
wants of home is hard to see. They
never stay in one when they have it.
Some of Will Palmer's wisdom: In
stinct does SO much for other animals
We wonder why it never told a pig to
the trough when you try to pour in
his supper. call again"
sounds good to everybody but the bill
collector. Everybody thinks
he knows how to run a news
paper and the editor tells every
So. it's about a standoff.
Chickens come home to roots
because the neighbor's garden and
flower beds do not afford them the
used to. You can estimate by
the number of stylish dents in a mans
hat how much red paint and feathers
it would have required to, satisfy him
had he been born an Indian.
If you would learn to make money out
of dandelions you would never have to
worry about crop failures. If
there is any one useful thing that a
boys likes to do, don't get in his way.
The only way to get out of
a lot of ornery bookkeeping work is
not to do any business. The
way to get cheap vacation is to work
so hard that it will seem like vaca-
ton to go to bed. The court
dockets name scores of men who
know about how Jacob felt when he
woke up to the fact that he had mar
ried the wrong woman. - @fg .
Bert Walker: Old Bill Shiftless is
mad at the editor and is spending con-
siderable time in knocking on him. He
calls the editor all kinds of names and
says he is the meanest and crookedest
man in town. Bill says that if some
fellow who was halfway decent and
square would come to town and start
a paper he would get all the business.
The reason of Bits wrath is that he
saw a squib in the paper that he took
as direct shot at himself. He i'm
mediately put or the shoe and has
been sore ever since. Bill owes eleven
years subscription and two dollars for
some bills he had printed at one time
out lnat cuts no Ice he says ne never
ordered the paper sent and the old
bills did him ne. good anyway. He
took the paper out of the office every
week and read it, but had no idea that
the fool editor was charging him for
it. Bill forgets how he has gone
around to the editor on numerous oc-
casions to get him to say nothing
about certain things; forgets how the
editor printed a nice notice when he
lost his little boy, forgets how the
editor lied for him on two occasions
by saying that he was trustworthy in
order that he might get job. The
next time Old Bill gets drunk and
makes a spectacle of himself, or is
caught in any of his crooked deals the
editor will mention it in the paper and
then the old loafer will stand around
and tell how he is going to lick the
editor. He will wind up by getting his
wife to go around and ask the editor
to explain next week how it wasn't so.
Mrs. Shiftless is a patient and worthy
woman and the editor will do it to
n1AaSA her
