insured for 500 in the Mu-
tual. The horses were also in
sured for $3.50. The barn was
one of the best in Johnson
county. The loss is probably
$1,000 with an insurance of less
than $1,000. In the barn was a
large silo, on which until recent
ly had been insurance. The
farm on which the barn was To-
Gated had recently been sold a
couple of times, but possession
was not to be given until some

the show was an annual event up
to the last year when the enter
prise was dropped. A number
of business men who have been
in touch with this project ever
since it was started have
never been able to see where the
town had derived any benefits
from the former shows, and they
thought that the same amount of
money could be spent to a great
deal better advantage in various
other ways Buckner Record.

Snakes.

Mrs. Singleton Has a New Way 10 Kill
Snakes.
Not every woman will pick up
a live snake, carry it about with
her and keep her hands within
a few inches of it for any consid-
cradle time, as Mrs. Charles
Singleton of this city did one
day last week.
But Mrs. Singleton did not
know she was doing it.
Mrs. Singleton went into her
garden that day and gathered a
fine looking head of cabbage.
Returning to her kitchen, she
cut it in two, to prepare it for
cooking. But it was such a
pretty, clean looking head of
cabbage That Mrs. singleton de-
cided not to cut it all up, and
put half of it in the pot whole.
Later, when Mrs. Singleton
took a look at the cabbage to see
how it was cooking, she got a
shock almost as bad as a light.
ming shock. Floating about in
the cooking vessel was a snake
nearly a foot long.
Moral: There is sometimes
more in a cabbage head than you
think there is.
p. S. Cabbage was not served
at the Singleton home that
evening Higginsville Jefer-
sonian.

A Constipation
Remedy Frse

There Is no action OF your daily
life of greater importance than to see
that your bowels move. They should
move at least once a day naturally,
and by that is meant without any help.
If they do not move at least once a
day you can consider yourself con-
stipated and it. is time you did some
thing about it.
You win be glad to know there
is a way out Of the difficulty. Lem

others were as you are now. But one
day they awoke TO the fact that Dr..
CaldweIs Syrup Pepsin was curing their
friends, so they bought 1t too and 1t
cured them. Today they are loud in
praise Of il.
What Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin did
for them II should DO for you. Surely your
constipation Is no worse than theirs, one

for you to realize that salts are OF but

ration, a laxative-tonic. a mild syrupy

only cure the constipation, but tone the

Theatrical Imagination.

From the bohemian Magazine.
Once upon a time-and it all happened
since the fairies have been supplanted
by ferries and Jersey City-the stage was
q happy-go-lucky affair where single
interior set, or room scene. served on
various occasions as the De Puyster draw
and the studio of the Artist Francois in
the Latin Quarter. Two ferns at L. and r.
made 1t the first; some red velvet por
there's and three gilded chairs made 1t the
second; and an easel, a few sofa pillows
and pipe rack gave it the coloring for
the third. All this was in the grand old
days of the drama-about seven or eight
tors were the people who bought seats
and took chances on the show, and when
you couldn't drop a dime in the box on
the back Of tho chair in front of you and
get package containing four cents worth
of chocolate peppermints.
"Imagination had some play in the days
of DID," goes the song. 1t had to: With

could not have been any play. Several
shots fired off stage and the Imagination

Have you ever noticed" said the man
who minds everybody's business but his
own, what large amount of counting
goes on in the trolley cars of this city
and it's suburbs?"
As none of the group replied, he con-
tinued:
Next time you get on a car keep
your eyes open and the chances are
that you'll see a couple making love for
all they're worth and nobody in fine car
wise to it except themselves, and, Nif you
know the signs as | do, yourself
There are three grades I've noticed
and you may be surprised to hear that
the first grade is made up of really very
classy people, young professional or bust
ness men and girls who may be teach
ers or something of that sort or may
not have employment at all and live at
home. The second class is composed, ac-
cording to my theory of people who
have, perhaps. little chance to see each
other in the ordinary way young clerks
of both sexes stenographers, salesgirls
and so on. And the third class, the kind
you all see in summer lalygagging in
the open cars, is made up mostly of mill
employees.
"They all do it differently. Take the
first class, for example-and, mind, I'm
telling you what I've seen and occa-
sionally heard.
"A man and a girl get on board a car

afternoon, after business and shopping
hours The car hasn't filed up and they

This couple. to use it as an illustra-
ton, is well dressed. the girl is pretty
and refined, lady. as one can see at
a glance, and the man is to all appear
ances a gentleman. They are both, one
feels instinctively, well bred Now watch.
First they glance about the car,
perfectly natural thing to do, bowling to
any acquaintance they may see. Then
they look at each other and both smile
a little. The man half turns in his seat
toward the girl and begins to talk in an
undertone, practically whisper The
girl listens with an expression which will
convince you that she likes to hear what
he's saying. He doesn't talk steadily,
but murmurs a sentence or two now and
then, the girls sometimes replying. but
more often giving him look that tells
a whole lot more.
Soon the car fills up, every seat it
taken and the man has to sit straight
in his seat and continue the converse
ton out of the corner of his mouth.
Two or three ladies climb aboard the car
and stand near the door looking about
for seats Does this well-bred young
man get up and offer his seat? He feels
uncomfortable, but he looks at the girl.

look closely you can read her lips. Keep
