RAW FURS---PROFITS FOR
 COUNTRY BOYS.

This is the time of the year when the average country boy not only gets a great amount of sport and pleasure out of fur trapping, but considerable profit and pocket money. Raw Furs in recent years have brought remark ably good prices Fashion has or dained that every lady must wear furs, consequently the demand has in creased. Prices of furs are higher than they were last season. M. Sabel & Sons, Louisville, Ky, make a spe- cialty of Raw Furs, and visit to their fur rooms is an interesting sight, for here can be found furs from every section of the United States. They re- ceive shipments from all over the country in answer to their weekly price list which they issue every Fri day. This price list is furnished the shipper upon application.

The Tactful Suitor.

A youth in Trenton, whose devotion to the young woman of his choice has encountered many obstacles during his long courtship, recently sought her out with this apparently encourag- ing statement:
 T think it's all right now, Alice. managed to get access to your father the other day, and while he wouldn' t exactly give his consent I rather imagine I've made some headway. He borrowed $40 of me. Surely he can't stand ne off much longer after that"
 The young woman sighed. Yes, I've heard about it" she said, and I think you've made an awful mess of it. Father mentioned the $40 and re- marked that I'd better give you up you were too easy.'-Harper Weekly.

 The Williams tavern is mentioned in the report of lieutenant, or Ensign DBernicre of the British Tenth regi- ment, and who, in 1775, with Capt. Brown of the Fifty-second regiment, made secret expedition to Worcester county, and had to fly from Marlboro on being discovered
 In the dining room of the old house President Washington, while on his way from Worcester to Boston, in l7S9, partook of noon repast
 In the diary of his trip Washington under date of Friday, October g, 17S9, says:
 On the line between Worcester and MiddleseX counties I was met by a troop of light horse belonging to the latter, who escorted me to Marlbor- ough (16 miles), where we dined, and thence to Weston (14 more), where We lodged
 The Massachusetts Spy of October %, 17S9, says that: At the line in Marlborough, he Washington was met by Capt. Rice's company of horse, well mounted, and in complete uni form They escorted him to Capt Will Hams tavern, where he was met by the marshal of this district Jonathan Jackson of Boston, and where he dined'

 Washington's retinue on this trip consisted of his two secretaries, the ever faithful Tobias Lear-the Secre. tary Loeb of the first administration Col William Jackson of Philadel- phia and six servants.
 United States Marshal Jonathan Jackson had already arrived at the tavern from Boston. There was. there fore, a party of four diners in the room shown in this illustration president. Secretaries Lear and Jack son and Marshal Jackson.
 It is unfortunate for the natural and pardonable curiosity of the present generation that there is no record. printed or otherwise, of Landlord Georges bill of fare on this occasion
 Washington made no other allusion to this dinner than that we dined." He did speak of Parsons tavern in Springfield as well as of the Jenks inn at Spenceras being good houses" The Widow Insersoll's," on the old Pierce corner on Scollay square, Bos- ton. he referred to as a very decent and good house." Some of the other saverns he visited, however. were given scant praise. In the Williams tavern failed to receive any criticism or commendation it must be that it's dinner for Washington was at least satisfactory.

Donald had returned from a visit to the country, and was full of rem iniscenees of persons and things that had interested him. q met a boy, mamma he said, that had the queer est name I ever heard. He said his folks found it in the Old Testament. It was-it was-let me see-yes, it was Father William, or William Fa- ther; I've forgotten just now which. But it was one or the other"
 But, Donald" said his mother, there is no such name as Father Will liam or William Father in the Old Testament"
 Are you sure, mammal"
 T certainly am, dear. I have read 1t through several times. William is a comparatively modern name. It isn't anywhere in the Bible"

OLD WILLIAMS INN
MASSACHUSETTS, TAVERN WHERE
 WASHINGTON ONCE DINED.
First Established in 1852 and Scene of Some Notable Incidents-Has Been Remodeled But Still
 House for Wayfarers.

Boston.-A rare old roadside inn in- deed is the Williams tavern in Marl- boro, Mass, on the shores of the pond" in one of the most pleasant sections of the border city of Worces- ter county
 The venerable hostelry has been the scene of some notable incidents in To- cal history, as well as the temporary residing place of the Father of His Country.
 Just how many years old Williams tavern has been public house for the entertainment of man or beast is not precisely known, but Abraham Williams, the pioneer of his family in Marlboro, located there as early, at least, as 1863.
 He married Joanna Ward, a daugh- ter of the original Ward family in town, and settled down in this Boston turnpike abode in that year
 The house Is now the property of Mrs. Henry Carr, and the landlord is Eugene E. Pinkham. The pictures of Landlord Pinkham's predecessors would make a goodly group if attain able, from Abraham Williams in Puri- tan days down to present incumbent.
 The modernized top of the structure was added in 1883. The house has now 36 rooms. In the old days, when the Boston and Worcester stage driv- CTS and teamsters made merry in the tap room, there were but 20 rooms. Part of the space, before Marlboro be-

The experience of the Bisser Bros. In Western Canada is similar to that reported to every agent of the Cana dian Government, whose advertise ment appears elsewhere:
 "Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 9th 1908.
 "To the Commissioner of Immigra- tion, Winnipeg, Manitoba.-Dear Sir: l, in company with my brother and other relations, arr.ved in this coun- try in the spring of 1893. At the time we got off the train at Wolseley, Sask., we had only few dollars, not enough to start farming on our own account. so We were compelled to work out for a considerable time in order to make sufficient money to enable us to es- tablish ourselves. When we thought We had enough money to start with, I and my brother took up one quarter section (160 acres) land each in the Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved on our homesteads with one team of horses and one walking plow While l was engaged with the work in the field, my brother built a shack and barn of logs, which we have hauled during the time we were not able to work in the field. We were certainly working very hard, but I am glad to say that we made our fortune in this country. To-day we do not need to work so hard as we used to, as we have three men hired steady for whom we pay s30.00 to s4000 a month. besides board and lodging during the summer time! I am also glad to tell you that to-day we are owners of a section and three-quarters of the best land, with first class buildings thereon, besides having all the necessary ma chinery. We always do our own threshing, for we have P horse- power threshing outfit
 Our success in farming in this country also enabled us to get rid of a number of horses of less value. and instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares, representing a value in the neighbor- hood of s5,OO0
 Regarding raising grain, which is the main factor in our district I am proud to say that we have always Hdd SOOu ouSSSoo we Adhc idISSQ wheat as high as 35 bushels to the acre; and this year, although we suf- fered from lack of sufficient rain, our wheat went 27 bushels to the acre, and we had 900 acres in crop. We nave broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about LILO acres in crop. For one carload of wheat which we have shipped a few weeks ago we got a price of 97 cents per bushel, and it graded as No. Northern, although we have a quantity of wheat which will surely go as No. 1 Northern. During the si"agears we hare been farming for o.. t4< We iE never had one frost round here, so that we always had good crop.
 T, for myself, feel compelled to say that our Great West is the land where a person who is willing to work and trun his hands to anything. can make fortune, and comfortable living Our country is thoroughly free coun- try, and we have a good Government; and. as long as we have good crops, and a good Government, we are satis- fled, and I think that is all we want.

He says these pellets contain no opium, morphine, CO., caine or other harmful drugs, and he guarantees that they will relieve the head, throat and lungs almost imme- diately. He gives this guarantee with each bottle of his medicine: If you buy my Cold Cure and it does not give perfect satisfaction, I will refund your money" Prof. Munyon has just issued
