at for her queer pronunciation of the

You can get a lot of consolation out
of the old adages if you use them
right, remarks the Hill City New Era.
If you are urged to make move
which you do not wish to make you
can say that rolling stone gathers
no moss and if you are urged to not
make move which you want to make
you can come back with the old saying
that a setting hen never gets fat.
How many girls in picking a hus-
band ever think of getting faithful,
patient, loving companion and pro-
wider for the family that will likely
come? asks Tom Thompson in his
Howard Courant and then he adds:
Not many, I'm afraid. They discover
some boy whom they could Just love
to DEATH" and they hitch up for better
or worse-and it is generally worse.
We have heard of "horse sense but
no one ever heard Of COW sense. 1t is
an actual fact that cows can tell the
difference between a man and wo-
man. Not so! Well, in our own midst
is a woman who is trying to take a
mans place in the milking and the
cows will not permit her until she
dresses in her husbands clothes. 1t
does not matter about wearing his hat
out to pasture, but before the COWS
will permit her to milk them she must
don male attire which would neither
be becoming nor proper on the streets.

dearest are divided. Here is case,
see if you think there is any "tele-
pathy'' in it. A day or so ago Win
field woman was possessed to sing a
song she had not thought of for years.
It kept floating through her mind con-
tinuauy and finally she could stand 1t
no longer, and went through all her
music until the song was found, and
she has been playing it, and singing it,
and hummiflg it, and whistling it for
three days. The song was Robert
F7ranz's beautiful setting of words, "Out
of My Hearts Great Sorrow" In this
mornings mail the woman received q
post card from Europe with picture

! the German words to the song she had
been singing for several days.-Win-

don't care what they say about me.
My friend, let me tell you something
| After you are gone it doesn't make
any difference whether you care OF
not; they will say exactly what they
want to. They will have no mercy on
your relatives left behind. You may
not care after you have crossed over,
but you ought to care now. These are
the days for you to prepare the peo-
pie for the things they are to say
after you have gone. If you want
them to pile anathemas twenty cubits
| high over your family lot in the vii
lage cemetery, there will be no diff
Guilty. But If you would rather have
them say, ''he was a fine fellow; we
are sorry he is gone" it is just as
easy. You know it isn't very pleas
ant to walk down street and meet g
dozen fellows and have the thought
surgihg through your system that they
| are just waiting for you to wander or
so they can say what they want tc
about you. They will say it. too, be.
ffore the elods are dry on the scar you
make in old mother earth when you
| disappear.
