For some time | have been taking
lunch with the editor of pure food

formaldehyde as preservative, When
suggested something else, he would
invariably impart the information that

Non-Freezlng Well House.

The building is 8 feet square with
7-foot posts. The framework was
constructed out Of rough 2x4 material
The building Is located upon solid
concrete foundation about 6 inches
above the surface of the ground.
The siding Is first grade pine ship
tapping. The roof is shingled. On the
inside of the building sheet of build
ing paper was put on next to the
studding and sealed with second
grade pine matched sheeting. This
makes a very warm building and one
that will resist freezing In the coolest
of weather.
The door is double sheeted with an
air space between so that 1t Is tight,
explains the Prairie Farmer. The
windows are double glass and well
packed. / have been In this well
house when the weather was 10

Striking evidence OF belief In the
present and future OF the United
States Is furnished from France,
where persons of means are withdraw
ing money they had invested else
where and are purchasing first-class
American securities, such as railroad
bonds and other gilt-edge obligations,
The truth Is that the field for legiti-
mate investment In the United States
was never better, and those who look
over the market with scrutinizing
gaze and without wildly speculative
purpose find plenty of good things
at moderate prices fairly certain to
make satisfactory returns.

Old Man Pertickiler lived In a hut on the
side of the turnpike road
He didn't have nothin' at all saved up,
exceptin' sum things he groWed.
When charity raped he would tottef
out, decrepit and old and grim,
And ask of the caller what brought him
there and what could he do for him?
If charity left him loaf of bread, 1t
wasn't as light as down,
Or, If 1t wuz meat, or dish OF beans,
why wuzn't tn thing done brown?
I never have seen in my hull burned life
Teller so blamed precise
AS this here duffer, Pertiekier Green,
who hadn't the price of rice!
We took him sum coal and it want tn
best Why didn't we see to that?
We butchered a hog and we helped him
sum, but most of the meat wuz fat!
We sent him sum clothes but they didn't
fit, and part of 'em wasn't black!
The fruit that we toted him 1t was spilled
and so he gist showed it back!
One Sunday we took up plate fer him
and nobody nursed his greed;
Pertickiler fused and complained like
sin becus it wuz 'chicken-feed!
We buried Pertickiler Green one day,
Pertickiler Green, so proud
But If he could grumble, I'll bet that he
would kick at the style of shroud!
If ever st. Peter throws wide the gate,
invitin' Pertickiler in,
They won't be thing tibet is up to
grade, exceptin' tn lack o. sin,
They won't be a harp tibet is quite in
tune, a chorus that sings in key;
Tbav won't he Strpnt that is paVed lust
right, tibet Old Mister Green kin see;
They won't be a couple of wings to
match, the lights will be far too dim,
They won't be a chariot horse at all with
action enough fer him!
The throne, I'm afraid, will be sum off
grade and second to one he's seen,
Fer Heaven itself could not suit the cuss
we knowed as Pertickiler Green!

Back Talk.

My wife says ! remind her, In the
morning, of Nero who went up and
down Greece challenging the fiddlers
at their trade. She says she never
has known anybody that can fiddle
around longer at dressing than l. And,
according to her, | am always late for
breakfast and have to gulp down my
coffee In a most unseemly manner,
grab doughnut and run for the train.
You see, my wife isn't wise to the fun
| get out of making a pool with my
self every morning as to whether
will, or will not, get that train. The
uncertainty sort of puts ginger into
me, prepares me for the sterner du-
ties of wrestling down town and re-
duces my fat-only 1t is hard to run
and reduce fat when you are trying to
choke down doughnut, button youi
overcoat and clean your fingernails all
at the same time suppose | will
have to get up earlier, to keep peace
In the family, but | am sure 1t will
take away half the pleasure of the
morning to plod along patiently
toward the station, wondering how
long will have to wait ON the depot
platform before the train arrives. My
ideas of heaven are based on the be-
lief that man can sit up at night
and read as long as. he wants to and
not get up in the morning until he
gets good and ready.
1t should be every mans desire to
be Of practical use in the world. One
way to start is to clear your sidewalk
of snow. DO 1t now!"

Another author has been discovered
for Shakespeares works. Bacon has
had his day. The new author Of
Shakespeare will probably enjoy his
hour of prominence and then give way
to the discovery of the next new the
orist. In the meantime the public
continue to take Shakespeare himself
at his face value, and give him the
credit of writing his own plays.

A Tennessee young woman dis
guised herself In male attire, enlisted
In cavalry troop, became sergeant,
and prevented any suspicion of her
real sex by her skill In the use of In
toxicants and profane language. This
ought to be an answer to those critics
who object that women are limited
In the fields of activity they may oc-
cupy.

all the world were bliss,
For happiness | still, dear, would starVe
without your kiss,
If wealth We're at my beck, dear, and
gems were free as dew,
Life still would be but staying without
your love-and you!
II Fame were weaving wreaths, dear,
and laures for my hair,
'Twould be but empty homage, unless
you set them there!
The cottage In the valley, with thee
Paradise,
Would be road-house merely without
your tender eyes.
There is no gift Of earth, dear, no praise,
acclaim nor fame,
without you worth the taking, without
you worth the name
You're all the world to me, dear, and
all the world Is bliss
When / am here with you. dear, and

1t is believed that the fertility re-

equal in value. to the price of the
hay itself. Therefore all the clover
hay possible should be fed on the

Building Just Completed.

It will be interesting to note that
the Associate Reformed Presbyterian

friends of the cause generally assist
ed in erecting very neat and sub
stantial edifice. The first ordained

Rev. F.. P. McClintock served the
\. R. P. congregation in Newberry
as a faithful pastor for thirty-five
years. He saw the congregation grow

In 1874 this church was separated
from pastorate No. y and made
separate and distinct charge with

was so urgent that the old building
was pulled down and a new one erect
ed on the original site. Rev. DR.. Hol-
land was pastor at the time of the
erection of the second structure. The
name of the church was changed at
the time of dedication to the present
name. Grace church. DR.. Holland
was succeeded by Dr.. Hawkins the
second time, and he in turn was sue
ceeded by DR.. Holland as supply.
