Not GUILTY..

A very dignifed and precise lady
who lives in a suburb of Boston went
away from home on a fortnight's visit
to some relatives not long ago. After
her return she was making an fnspec-
ton of her house and came across
number of large, black, empty bottles
in a corner Of the cellar. partly COW
cred with ashes. When, at the con-
clusion of banking hours, her husband
came back from Boston, she met him
at the door with the query, Jim,
where did all those empty bottles down
cellar come from"
Affecting an air Of puzzled surprise,
the honest man replied: I'm sure l
don't know, my dear. l never bought
an empty bottle in my life"

True Nobleness.


For this true nobfeness l seek in vain
In woman and in man find it not:
[ almost weary of my earthly lot.
My life springs are dried up with burning
pain
Thou findst It not? | pray thee look
al again,
Look inward through the depths of thine
own soul.
How is 1t with thee? Art thou sound and
whole?
Doth narrow search show thee no earthly
stain?
Be noble. and the nobleness that lies
In other men, sleeping, but never dead,
VIII rise in majesty to meet thine own.
Then wilt thou see it CLEAN in many eyes.
Then will pure light around thy path be
shed.
And thou wilt never more be sad and lone.

A Shock For Shaw.

Bernard Shaw some years ago met
a young lady at u dinner party who
said that she could read character
from writing. Mr.. Shaw denied belief
in her powers and said that at any
rate she could not read characters
from typewriting.
Now. it happened that the host had
just got typewriter. and the young
lady offered to be put to the test. The
machine was brought. and Mr. Shaw.
picking out the letters one by one,
wrote his first name Then he dis
covered that he had used only capital
letters. So, shifting to the lower case.
he wrote his last name.
Then he handed the result to his
companion. This was what she read
"BERNARD shaw"
It's as plain as anything" she said.

though there are good many Shaws
in the world. they are an undistln-

matter. old man?' he asked. you
should be the happiest man alive, for
today at least, and you look like a

The bridegroom started. 'Er-of

Then why these glooms?'

the bridegroom said in burst of con-

From every side we are hearing
complaints about lice and other insect
parasites on stock. The severe win
ter makes this condition much worse
and almost everyone is more or less
IL need of something to kill these
pests and put the stock in condition
to thrive and put on flesh. Naturally
the demand is for. material that is
safe and easy to use. In other words,
nobody wants to employ rank poisons
on account of the ever present danger,
Of disastrous accident, and ma
terial that requires a great deal Of
work to prepare, boiling, mixing, set
Ting, etc, is just about as unpopular.
It will be good news to all to know
that there is a product on the market
that fills the bill exactly. Kreso Dip
No. 1 kills lice, ticks. mites, f1eas, ETC.,
