 Edith-Well, l certainly would de eide upon a family name; it looks as if you didn't have particle of blood, to go hunting around outside.
 Mrs. W.-Family namesI Did you ever hear one in your life that was not hideous? Elizabeth-Nancy-Margar et-Caroline! How you can persist in that family name" idea I can't see. AS for blood, we know she has it, and why should we care what others think? Besides, you know the baby is to be an artist or writer or singer, or something, and we must think how the name will look in print,
 Robert-How do you know she will be any of those things, sis?
 Mrs. W.-Why, of course, she has got to be! You don't think my baby an idiot. do you?
 Robert-Certainly not, but I don't think you can tell much about babies careers at three months old either.
 Mrs. W.-Now. there you go as usual. changing the subjectt Robert, you don't even try. You have never even suggested namel
 Robert (doggedly)-Yes I have. I said in the beginning, name the baby Eliza" after mother; that's what you ought to name her.
 Mrs. W.-Eliza! Oh, my godoness. I simply couldn't. Think of deliber- ately attaching something hideous- repulsiye q cant help it-mamma says herself it's horrible)-to my child for life.
 MT. W. (rising and putting his arm about his wife's shoulder) r)-Really, my dear, keeping yourself in such a con. stant state of excitement will end by making you ill. Surely, out of all the names in the world we can find one to suit Since you don't like family names, let's think of some fancy ones. Flora-Lucette--Ca

 MT. ". (seriously) )-Now, see here, Carrie, think we've had about enough Ct this! For three months there has not been a single subject discussed in this house but naming the baby. For my part, I've made up my mind to let it go at Baby" and end the whole business.
 Mrs. W.-And let it go at Baby" when she is twenty, thirty, even fifty years of age, I suppose. How absurd!
 Mir. W.-Well, it's your fault my dear
 Mrs. W.-My fault Of course, knew you were going to say that Pos itively you will drive me crazy! I don't sleep at night! I just lie there in the dark, while you snore away, and call over every name on earth, in the family and out of the family, and it is not that nothing suits me, but nothing suits her.

Your Salary.

The universe pays every man in his own coin; if you smile, it smiles upon you in return; if you frown, you will be drowned at; if you sing, you will be invited into gay compa.yy; if you think, you will be entertained by thinkers; and if you love the world and earnestly seek for the good that is therein, you will be surrounded by loving friends, and nature will pour into your lap the treasures of the earth. Censure, criticise and hate, and you will be censured, criticised and hated by your fellow men.-N. w. Zimmerman.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton is quoted as saying that woman's first duty is to develop all her powers and possibili- ties, that she may better guide and serve the next generation. Mrs. Stan ton raised seven uncommonly healthy and handsome children, says an ad- mirer of hers, and the children of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe testify to the vir. CT.

never knows how long they will
stay covered or who will get on
his trail. 10 in Canada, where
they are digging for the new
Toronto water works. the diggers
found in the blue clay, seventy
feet below the water line, the
footprints of a gentlemen who
had tramped around that way
some years ago. The biologists
disagree as to the exact time.
some holding that the freshness
of the footprints indicates that
it was only so, 900 years ago,
while others believe that the toe
nail prints Indicate that it has
been about 100000. years since
the gentlemen passed that way.
Not that this slight discrepancy
matters to the gentleman or to

The nine cent roofing sale of
j. r. Moorehead was a success
in every particular. The amount
Of the sale was fully up to expect
atoms and for the first time the
people, generally, appear to APP
preciate how much cheaper a
roofing such as he offered is
than any other to be had of sim
liar character or kind. Don't for
get that | have the sole agency
for this brand of roofing
"Weatherproof," and that you
cannot get it any other place.
You can buy roofing but can't
get the same quality for the same
price. The price of this class of
roofing has been brought down to
that level at which no one who
has anything to protect from the
weather can afford not to try
it if not tried before and to buy
it again if they have ever used
it. He has a good stock left and
is still offering it at lower prices
than it has ever been sold for in
Lexington and will continue to
do so. Remember you cannot buy
"WeatherprOof' any where else
and that it is a heavier and
superior grade of roofing than
any to be had. If you did not get
in on the mine cent" sale come
in and get his prices. They are
very little above the sale price
and you cannot afford to miss
getting a superior article at ex-
cursion rates.
