"A Sterling H., man awoke in the
night with bad headache and got up
and went to the shelf where his accus-
toned liniment was placed and doned
his head generously from bottle there
He went back to bed and slept peace
fully uncil morning for it was a good
| liniment and was accustomed to do the
business. But when morning came he
found his head stuck fast to his pillow
for he had used varnish instead of lini-
ment. He had to have his head shaved
and likely he is now a convert of the
faith-cure theories.
Boots go on feet; so DO men. Boots
have souls; so do men. Boots sometimes
get tight so do men. Boots shine when
polished; so do men. Poor boots are run
over; 50 are poor men. A boot to get on
needs a pull; so does a man. Some boots
have red tops; SO do some men. Some
boots lose their souls; so do some men.
Some boots are imitation calf; some
men are the same article. Some boots
can't stand water; neither can some
men. When a boot is well soaked it's a
bad case; so is a man. A boCC to be
much account needs a mate, so does a
a man. A boot when heeled is comfort
able; so is man.
The crop of Texas peaches this
year is unusually large and prices are
lower than they have been for some
years at this season. The Alberta
peach was introduced into Texas a few
years ago and has become as great a
favorite almost as the late Crawford
from Michigan. The quality of the Al
berta is extra fine and the flavor is
excellent. Housewives who usually
wait until the Michigan crop of peaches
arrives to do their preserving should
not overlook the Texas peaches this
season, for the Michigan fruit win not
be any cheaper, if as cheap, and it is
not likely that the quality viii be any
better - Evening Wisconsin.
"A certain newspaper man in Iowa
relates an experience that might shed
some light on the mail order business,
says an exchange He was at the town
depot and saw farmer friend receive
wagon from Chicago He attempted
to prove to the latter that he was MAX
ing a mistake as any local dealer would
furnish him with the same or better
goods just as cheap and the profit
would be kept at home. But, said
the farmer, this is the first time that
/ ever heard there is an implement
store in this town. | have taken your
paper for five years and have never
seen line of advertising in it about
such an institution in all that time
But you can bet Chicago has kept me
posted "
