WISE WORDS.

The original fox was a man; the
original grapes the girls he
couldn't kiss.
Being a wife often means being a
servant with the wages left out and
the privilege of eating with the fam
lily thrown in.
A mans desire for a son is usu-
ply nothing but the wish to dupli-
cate himself in order that such a
remarkable pattern may not be lost
to the world.
It isn't the girls whom he has
loved and lost that a man signs for;
it's those whom he has loved and
never won.
Lazy men fancy that the wheel of
life is a roulette wheel, on which
fortunes are won only by chance.
The happiest wife is not always
the one who marries the best man,
but the one who makes the best Of
the man she marries.
"Who fndeth a wife findeth a good
thing" saith the Scriptures. Well,
that's what most men are looking for
nowadays.
It isn't the big vague vow he
makes at the altar which a man finds
it so difficult to keep or to get around,
but the little foolish promises he
made before he ever got there.
1t is as foolish to try to reform a
man after he has just got his front
hair as to try to tame a lion after
he has got his second teeth.
People who can't afford them have
an idea that there is something al.
and automobiles.
It is difficult to tell who is the
most grateful to Fate for his sex
the woman who watches her husband
while he is in the throes of shaving
or the man who sees his wife getting
into a tight corset and a dress that
buttons up the back.
When a wife induces her husband
to get on the water wagon" agains
his will he is likely to fall off will
q fearful splash.
It isn't the things a man says tina
prove he loves you, but the thing!
be tries to say and can't-the thingi
that choke right up in his throat ant
leave him sitting dumb and miser
able on your parlor divan.-Fron

From Terrible Eczema-Baby,s Head
q Mass Of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by C~uticura.
sOur little girl was two months old when
she got a rash on her face and within i've
days her face and head were all one sore.
We used different remedies but it got
worse instead Of better and We thought she
would turn blind and that her ears would
fall of. She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This went
on until she was FIVE months old, then ]
had her under our family doctors care, but
she continued to grow worse. He said It
was eczema. When sho was seven months
old / started to use the Cuticura Remedies
and in two months our baby was q differ
ent girl. You could not see q sign Of a
sore and she was as fair as . newborn
baby. She has not had q sign of the eczema

THE GIRL YOU LIKE.

She is the girl who is not "too bright and good" to be able to find joy and pleasure all over the world.
 She is the girl who appreciates the fact that she cannot always have the first choice of everything in the world.
 She is the girl who is not az gressive and does not find joy in melting aggressive people.
 She is the girl who has tact enough not to say the very thing that will cause the skeleton in her friends closet to rattle his bones.
 She is the girl who, whether it is warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds no fault with the weather.
 She is the girl who, when you invite her any place, compliments you by looking her best.
 She is the girl who is sweet and womanly to look at and listen to, and doesn't strike you as poor imitation of demi-monadine-
 She is the girl who makes the world pleasant place because she is so pleasant herself.
 And, by and by, you come to think of it, isn't she the girl who makes you feel she likes you, and, therefore, you like her9

MORE HOLIDAYS.

We live too fast in America. We have not enough holidays-not en- ough resting places-not enough en- termision in our wOrk-day world. It were better if oftener to have laid aside its tools-tr traffic and trade stopped, now and then, to consider its aim and end.
 There must be an oasis in every desert. The black Sierra has it's sunlit valleys. There are smiling hooks even among the Cordilleras. Halting places there are, great rocks and their shadows, even in the dreariest land. He who builds up a shelter for. the storm-beaten and foot-weary pilgrim over the road traced by the great caravan is benefactor to his race and his memory should be cherished while holidays are observed.
 Holiday time Who would care to know whence came the cus- tom. Enough to know that care per force must smooth his wrinkled front, and fun and frolic for the time rule the hour. It were folly not to enjoy the glimpses of sunshine that comes through the cloud rifts, short lived and evanes- cent though they be. They prove there's brightness beyond-that no clouds are so dense but stray beams may penetrate them.
 Rosy faces, wreathed and joy ous, welcome the festive season. With it's monitions, it's reminders, its regrets and its hopes, comes the happy holiday. It is we'll that the ancient builders set up mile posts on the highways of time, else it were a dull and tire-some road. They remind us of the vanguard, the millions that have gone be- fore-the great army that has gone out and on-who shall say whith- er9 Listening, we hear the tramp the tramp of the mighty multitude echoing and re-echoing down the corridors of time; we think of the thousand holidays gone and mil lions of light hearts and love-lit eyes gone, too, with them. Dead holidays, dead hearts, dead bones.

There is too little brightness in the lives of woman in the country. They have too little help in their domestic occupations. The nurse in a house where there is $ baby to care for ought to be sat down as one of the regular expenses as the potatoes for the family. A mothers health, both mind and body, is worth more than addition al acres of land, or finer stock. The heart should not be allowed to grow old. Life should not have lost its charm, the heart its spirit and the body its elasticity at 40 years. And yet how many women are faded and wan, and shattered in mind and health, long before they are forty. All the joy of life is not in youths morning, If we so will it, we can to the last mo- ment of life, be at least negatively happy.

 Ordiance committee: J. 0. Me Crory and J. w. Wilder.
 Board of health: Mayor Crossett, Dr. B. Howell, Dr. H. P. Hargls and F. Lewis.
 A motion was made and carried that the marshaPs salary for the present month be reduced from $35. to $30.OO. Alderman J. 1. Cain having been the cause of this cut in the city's expenses. MT. Cain first contended that the salary be made $25. but finally succeeded in getting it reduced to thirty.
 Applications for the marshalship were next read, J. P. Taylor, June Dallas and M, E. Mott being the three applicants. J. P. Taylor contended for $35.00 June Dallas offered his services for $25. five dollars per month less than the salary and ten dollars less than his competitor. The salary wanted by Mir. Mott was not given. MT. Tay- Tor was elected Marshal at the reg ular salary of $3O.00 thus causing an extra expense to the tax payers of sixty dollars a year. Those voting were: Alder men J. I. Cain, w. B. Dougherty, J. c. McCrory, F. Lewis and J. W. Wilder. The vote was made sec retly and stood as follows: Taylor 8, Dallas 2, Mott 0.
 The McCrory Mercantile Com pa ny was granted permission to move their old store building in the street next to Atkinson's livery barn while their brick building is under construction.
 Having no luther business the council adjourned.
