In the old colony town OF Scituate,
Mass, once lived Deacon j, who
had a yoke of oxen he desired t.
sell. The news reached the ears OF
Farmer T, who lived in another
portion OF the town, who was in want
,f a pair. So he visited the deacon,
who met him with a gracious smile
and led him to the oxen, which were
chewing their cuds and to all appear
ances ready for any amount of toll.
After some bargaining a difference
Of five dollars remained. Finally the
deacon said: 81 am old and feeble.
and shall not live long, and five dol
lars will be of no account" SO the
bargain was made. Farmer t took
the oxen t1me.
They proved worthless. could not
work, and had been heated. He felt
provoked at being sold, and. seeing
a person the next day who was going
to the part of the town where the
deacon lived, said: you tell Deacon
= he need not live another dc
minute longer on my account

TACK THIS UP.
Simple Advice Which May Prove OF
Untold Value.

At the first sign of Backache or pain
in the region of the Kidneys, or weak
ness and Urinary trouble. the follow.
ing simple prescription should be
used:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Any good prescription pharmacy
will supply these three ingredients at
small cost, which can easily be mixed
by shaking well in bottle. This Is
said to force the Kidneys to filter the
sour acids and poisons from the blood
overcoming the worst cases of Rheu
matism.
