How to Clean Windows Easily.

Take a cotton sock and moisten with
common kerosene and rub over the
panes of glass several times. Then rub
the glass with cloth that is free
from lint until the oil disappears and
the glass is bright. Your windows will
be clear with only half the work re-
quired by the ordinary way. Leave
the windows open for few minutes,
and the odor from the oil will quickly
disappear.

Since George E. West got to be a
state senator some people mistake him
for preacher or doctor. The other
day as the senator was travelling to
the capital city to begin his official
duties a stranger on the train became
quite Ill. He wanted medical aid and
looking about for doctor espied Sen
ator West. and walking up to him
asked the senator to give him relief.
The senator protested vehemently
against the accusation OF being a medi-
cine man; but to no purpose. because
the fellow was positive that he was
talking to doctor. The senator could
not refuse and gave the sufferer \
lemon drop in cup OF water and
told him to swallow the dose. The
poor fellow attempted to do 30, but
the large lemon refused to pass
through the throat. We have not
learned whether the senator's pstient
