The Mardi Gras.


Fitzgerald has seldom had an
entertainment thatis more pleas
ing, profitable and of so much gen.
eral interest as the Mardi Gras
this week under the auspices of
the Odd Fellows.
It has been tactfully managed
from the start and has not only
benefited the Odd Fellows order
but has inspired an enthusiasm and
awakened a new commercial spirit.
Most of the business houses of the
city have booths in the splendid
spacious building and every exhibit
is creditable, some of them would
do credit to State Fair.
We believe strongly in printers
ink as an advertising medium but
many of the advertisements at the
Mardi Gras are good and will make
business. We would like to take
up each one in detail, but it would
require too much space.

TWICE CURED OF
 SKIN TROUBLES
First Case a Rash Which ltChed and
 Sung Threatened Ten Years Later With BIOOd-PoisOn in Leg But Both Times the Sufferers
RELIANCE IN CUTICURA
 PROVED WELL-F0UNDED

About twelve or fifteen years ago, while living in West Virginia, l had 0 breaking-out, and it itched and stung so badly that could not have any peace because of it. l saw three doctors and they did not agree on what 1t was, so one of them gave me something that he called medicine, but I called 1t soda water. I might just as well have washed in rain-water. Then got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and l have not been bothered with the itch ing since, to amount to anything. About two years ago had Ia grippe and pneumonia which left me with @ pain fn my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. It got in pretty bad shape, SO l went to a doctor. He was afraid it would turn to blood-poison1. I used his medicine but it did no good. So I sent for another set of the Cuticura Remedies. used them three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. Now won't be without Cuticura. J. F. Hennen, R.

With a Dog on a Cowcatcher.
Man and His Pet Take Wild Ride Across the Prairie Union
 Pacific Locomotive.

the man was told to check the dog, but he didn't. He gathered up his dog and left the coach. None of the train men saw him when he ran around to the front of the train and, with his cur dog lu hls arms, crawled upon the cow catcher and clung there for a wild ride of almost 100 miles to Manhattan, Kan. There when the traln stopped the fireman found him, almost exhaust ed, but still holding the dog. When he was discovered he jumped down and ran away. still carrying the dog.
 How he stayed on that cowcatcher is more than can tell" Tomllnson said in telling the story.
 "Why. that train ran fully ffty-hve to sixty miles an hour at times, and there are many old time railroad men who wouldn't attempt thing of that kind. And he did 1t all for the sake Of the eur dog"-Kansas City Star.

"Sedlshipt" Sense

This is the title of very interesting
little book about "Sealshipt" Oysters.
1t gives much valuable information
about cooking and serving the de
licious bivalve," and contains new re-
ceipes for preparing.
What will appeal to every oyster
lover is the detailed description of how
"Sealshipt" Oysters differ from other
kinds Show they are shucked into gal
vanized steel containers and packed
alright with ice around the containers,
but not in contact with the oysters,
The 'Sealshipt' shipping carrier sys-
TEN is what accounts for the cleanli-
ness and delicacy of flavor of Seal
shipt" Oysters.
The price of "sealshipt" Oysters is
higher than that of tub oysters; but
they go SO much farther that they actu-
ally costs you less-besides having the
full, delicious, sea flavor which tub
oysters cannot have.
/ We have "Sealshipt Sense" books and
will gladly give you one. We sell
"Sealshipt" Oysters exclusively OF
the handsome White Porcelain Case
bearing the Blue "Sealshipt" Trade

this county was talking to Leon i'm
plement dealer about buying new
wagon, and the dealer thought he would
work little politics on the farmer so
he told him that he had only bought half
as many wagons this fall as usual for if
Bryan was elected he would only want
half as many, but if Taft was elected
the order would be doubled. The farmer
who happened to be a good democrat
scratched his head minute. and then
replied that if that was so he guessed
he did not need new wagon for if
Bryan was elected he supposed he
would have no corn to gather.
