Usinq Ones Eyes.

A man who had recently been In Eu-
rope was entertaining his friends with
stories about Paris and In the course
Of his talk mentioned several places
which were unknown to his listeners,
although they had all frequently visit
ed the French capital. "People go
through the world with their eyes
shut" was the story teller's comment.
A quiet little man In the party then
said that even the most observing peo-
pie did not always see and, addressing
the traveller, said:
"You ride in subway trains twice a
day. Can you tell me what is printed
on themw
mo"
"You look at your watch many times
every day. Can you tell me is the six
on it's face a Roman or an Arabic fig
ure?"
"Why, Roman, of course"
And he looked and found that there
was no six on his watch dial.
"All of which demonstrates" said
the little man, that the most observ-
Ing do not always ee."-New Yorl;

"Listen!' she said as she flung a
glance of disdain at him. 1.-THE atroc-
ity occurs in the chapter of my story
where the English heiress discovers the
perfidy of her spendthrift French hus-
band. This is the particular sentence:
She paled with Indignation and, stoop-
ing suddenly, took a bill from the OBJ
long box before her."
"Yes?" said the editor. "Was there
an error in the printed copy?"
Error shrieked the authoress.
"There were two Of them! They We're
worse than errors-they are crimes!

bill you printed 'pill!"

swept out.-Kansas City Independent.

| 1t makes difference what town you
do your slapping in and where. In
Bristow school teacher took the big
girls and gave them..a good spanking.
He was hired another term and his
salary raised. At Mason City a man
slapped the hired girl and was fined
$50. Over at Wesley man merely
chucked the hired girl under the chin
ESQ he says and it cost him 81, 900 and
he came near having a divorce suit
besides. so it is alleged.
We can adopt the following from an
exchange with thruthfulness We are
not given to Boosting but we are
proud of the farmer boys of this
vicinity. They are. with rare excep.
tions, healthy, intelligent and happy
class of young men. We feel like
taking our hat clear off when we meet
them upon our streets, and no class is
more welcomed to our Office. Too
many boys leave the farm where they
citizens. and go to the city where only
one in thousand succeed in life's
battle. There are farmers who fairly
drive their boys away. There is no
excuse for this. The farmer boy is
entitled to his vacations. to several
relaxations, his visits to the city,
good books, magazines, and his home
paper. To the observing one it is
plain to be seen that the old farm is
the best place in the world for the
average young man and never fails to
bring happier and more useful life
than the city. Young men, who will
till the soil and earn your bread by
the sweat of your brow, we are proud
of you; our latch-string is always out
to you and You will always have a
friend in this paper. Come and see
US and give us the news from your
neighborhood.

PEELED to do vast amount of work

cures picture which he promises to
enlarge free of charge as he is going
to open a photo gallery in the city
and is doing it for an advertisement.
A few days later another man comes
around and wants to sell picture
frame. When told by the party that
they do not care for frame they are
told that unless they purchase frame
the picture, the majority of them
highly priced, will not be returned.
This forces the housewife to buy the
frame at heavy price so as to secure
the picture. 1t is said that over two
hundred housewives in the city were
swindled by those deadbeats.

Napoleon and Waterloo.

Military men of all countries have
repeatedly declared that Napoleon
last campaign was admirably planned
and, up to Waterloo, admirably ex-
ecuted. Napoleon was defeated at
Waterloo not because Of any twist In
his brain. but because of the rain that
fell on the night Of the 18th Of June
and the incompetency or treachery of
Grouchy. Had 1t not rained on the
18th, or had Grouchy obeyed orders
and kept Butcher from the French
right, Napoleon would unquestionably
have gained victory at Waterloo
