Bargain In CIqars.

An Oil City man, who was detained
at the house for part of the day,
handed his wife, who was going down
town, a quarter of dollar and re-
quested her to get him three cigars
for 1t.
When she returned she handed him
the package, remarking, exultantly:
"That shows that women can beat
men all hollow, when 1t comes to
making purchases. l found a place
where l could get eight for quarter
Instead of three. Isn't that going
some?"
And the poor man, as he took his
medicine merely remarked:
1T certainly is, dear."-Oil City

Care Of Ferns.

With proper care table ferns should
last two months. Many people are
even more successful with them.
They must be kept moist, not soak
ing wet.
Do not allow them to become
chilled. A temperature Of room 60 to
10 degrees is best.
The plants should be placed in Q
window where they will receive light
and sun for at least part Of the day.
They should be watered every day,
but not too much. Be sure that the wa
ter is cold, as warm water is injuri-
GUS to ferns.
AS soon as any of the leaves get
yellow down near the root cut them
away.
A good way to prolong the life Of
the plant is to repot it, placing about
two inches Of crushed leaves at the
bottom of the pot.-Pittsburg Dis

Investigations are being made

in my method, else 1t would not

But first Of all would have to ex-
anime your mouth. No charge is
made for examination and there Is
no obligation to have work done.
There is no two cases exactly
alike, hence each case has to be ex-
amined carefully before 1 could say
whether you could be supplied with
these Alveolar Teeth.
When by examination it Is found
that you can have teeth put in that

The Ring Finger.

The idea that the wedding ring
should be worn on the third finger of

of Roman origin, but, oddly enough, Is
not continued on the Continent as in
England, for in France, Belgium and
Germany, and most other European
nations, the engagement ring finger
is the third finger of the left hand,
while the wedding ring finger is the
third finger of the right hand.-Wo-

Cleaning Gilt Frames.

Gilt frames often become tarnished,
and just what to do with them to make
them look like new is problem.
They can be SO easily and satisfac-
torily cleaned by using ordinary gin
and camel's hair brush. The gin can
be used without fear of injuring the
gilt, and the soft brush will clean
every crack and crevice. After the gin
has been used the frame should be
polished with soft cloth. The result
will be very satisfactory.-New York

son, the Mayor, who was also a
member of the State Board of
Health for the FIRST District, was
ruthlessly shot down.
The present Mayor of Sturgis
is himself an object of threats
and has been directed to abdi-
cate and leave town, and has e.

control things and defy punish

Mayor Turner was shot at by
some of these parties, and it is
through no fault of theirs that he
was not killed Or seriously
wounded, unless the fact that
the assassins were unable to
shoot straight and true may be
characterized as fault.

information it is a sorry state of
