Engraving in Color.

1.-The movement that is carrying
large number Of contemporary artists
toward engraving in color seems each
day to be gathering more consistency
and energy" So Henri Frantz tells
us in an admirable article on Recent
Colored Etchings" He further says:
AT first the public hesitated, not
knowing what to think Of this new
process, not daring TO admire frankly,
and, above all, not daring to buy. But
little by little they have become
holder, they perceive that color-etch-
ings suit our modern rooms perfectly,
and they have grasped the fact-a
very elementary one after all-that
there is more talent in some little
plate by Robbie, Rauft de Chabinian.
or by Boutet de Monvel, than in the
large, pretentious canvases, void of
all sense, which every year cucumber
the walls Of the Palais des Beaux.

There is a farmer out in Walwortn
County who hit upon novel way OF
making the money he has tied up in
an automobile He uses the machine
in the summer. but when winter sets
in there is little pleasure or profit
in automobiling and most of the gaso-
lene bugsies are left standing idle. In
the case Of this thrifty settler. how
ever, there is no waste of this kind.
He strips the machine of its wheels
and sets it upon skids in the loft OF
one of the farm buildings. With a
fywheel on one of the rear hubs and
drive wheel On the other he uses
his engine to do all the farm grinding,
pumping, feed cutting and other work
where power is required. In this way
he saves the cost Of another gasolene
engine, such as most farmers are now
using.-Milwaukee Sentinel

A FRIENDLY GROCER
Dropped q Valuable Hint about Coffee

For about eight years." writes a
Mich. woman. II suffered from nerv-
ousness-part of the time down in
bed with nervous prostration.

It would be almost impossible for me
to speak for a spell. At others,

and my heart would fiutter painfully

Il have taken enough medicine to
start small drug store, without any
benefit. One evening our grocer was
asking Husband how / was and he
urged that l quit coffee and use Pos
tum, SO he brought home a pkg. and
| made it according to directions and
we were both delighted with it.

used only Postum. l began to get

FURIOUS HUMOR on CHILD.
Itching, bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Hcr-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five Days.

"After my granddaughter of about seven
years had been cured of the measles, she
was attacked about fortnight later by
furious itching and painful eruption all
over her body, especially the upper part Of
it, forming watery and bleeding sores, es-
pecially under the arms, Of considerable
size. She suffered great deal and for
three weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think Of.
Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-
cura Remedies and after twenty-four hours
we noted considerable improvement, and,
after using only one complete set of the
Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days
the little one, much to our joy, had been
entirely cured, and has been well for long

When Congressman Small was a

Why" said Mr.. Small, the man at
the bar, Jones, would just as soon
kill me right here before your faces

The old magistrate slowly took out
his spectacles, put them on, and peer
ed over to get good look at the des-
perate Jones. Then he pointed his
finger at him, and said, 'You, Bill
Jones, if you kill John H. Small here
before me I'll fine you one dollar and
fifty cents for contempt of court, durn

Fun By the Way
THE MARKET.

Tumble, tumble, little stocks,
AS the market feels and rocks;
Once folks called to you, "By By!
AS your values went ssky-high.
Below, below, little bulls,
Now you've lost your ready pulls;
But think twice of your intent
Thus to gore the President.
Growl, groWl, little bears,
Keep on throwing lots Of scares;
Hug delusions in the crash,
That the country's gone to smash.
Gambol, gambol, little lambs,
Shut your purses tight as clans;
Don't attempt to join the run,
You stand by and watch the fun.
But It's plain the reason why
All things seem but rock and wry,
Why the markets, reeling, fight;
'Tis because the moneys tight.
