NOT ExAeeERATING.

"My DEAR" says the conscientious
wife to her husband, "really, you
should not be so extravagant in your
statements"
"What's wrong?" asks the man.
Fright before the children you
told Mr.. and Mrs. Brown that when
your grandfather got cold in his
chest he would cough so hard his
hair fell off. Now, what sort of re-
gard for the truth will our children
have if they hear their father telling
such"
"But didn't you know that my
grandfather wore a wig"

Remarkable Success Of Mrs. Lillian

Woman Can Do.

Those VINO wonder if it is possible

Lillian G. johnson for their answer.
Ten years ago Mrs. johnson was
friendless and almost penniless in
New York and with an aged mother

her for their support Today she is
one Of the most successful real estate
dealers in New York city. Only re-
Gently she closed deal for million
dollars, netting a clean profit OF
$4,000 as remuneration for "a
hours hard work. All the capital
she had at the start was measure
less reserve force of courage and self
confidence and little more than
$50 in cash. 1t may read like a
fairy tale, but there is nothing
imaginative about the story, as Mrs.
johnson tells it. 81 became real
estate dealer through necessity" she
said. 81 knew that l had to make
money, and lot of it, and real es-
tate was the only business l knew
anything about. So / looked around
and finally bought house in one of
the growing suburbs, paying $50,
practically every cent l had in the
world, as a deposit. About week
later l sold it with a large profit of
$1,000, and it was this money that
enabled me to hire an Office and get
a start, The Bookkeeper.

Carving Meat.

To successfully carve meat one
must know how to control the knife.
When carving a slice of meat, after
the first incision has been made the
angle at which the knife is held must
never be altered, or a Jagged slice viii
be the result.
The cut should be direct sharp and
incisive. The sawlike motion should
not enter into the operation.
AS a rule, the knife should be held
firmly, but applied lightly, so that too
much Juice will not be squeezed out
from the meat. By using the point of
the knife lightly as a wedge and the
fork as a lever, even a big fowl may
be easily jointed, provided the carver
is aware of how the joint is exactly
situated and held together.

To keep small fruit, such as straw

KILLED BYTRAN.

Amos Smith, of Sorth Side, is the
fourth victim in the last month in
this neighborhood to go to sleep on
the railroad track and wake up in
eternity.
Smith left here Monday evening
on train No. 4, on the KAN. road
for his home across the river from
South Side. The depot at that
place is up beyond the ferry, and the
supposition is that he walked down
the track past the ferry landing, in
the dark, as his body was found this
side of the ferry. 1t is thought
that he sit down on the track to rest
and went to sleep and was run over
and killed by passing freight. His
body was not found until Tuesday
morning and several freight trains
had passed over it in the mean time,
cutting it almost into ribbons. He
was 55 years old and amarried man.
His wife and FIVE children survive

time as to tie funeral arrange ments.

WRITES INTERESTING LETTER FROM St.
| PETERSBURG. FLORIDA.

Eeopie tnat reau ana near OF this
country are familiar with history and
desirability of this country during
the winter months. Personally we
can't say hut theresidents here tell us
that it is about allit is represented.
The impression with is that i,
is comfortably warm all winter, bu,
we observe that's a mistake. Every
house we have visited at every poin,
in the state have small stoves in each
room or at least one. or more rooms
in each house, and all houses have
chimneys or arrangements for fire.
We were under the impression it was
not necessary to have FIRE. The re-
ply was yes indeed morning and
evenings fire is necessary. Now this
month is admitted the most unpleas-
ant month in the year. We have
been spending the last of August and
part of September most every year
for sixteen years around the lakes of
Merdrigan and Canada, and to our
surprise We have not experienced
more discomfort from heat here than
on the Northern lakes. Most every
day during the day it rains, but in a
few minutes one can go out without
any discomfort. The heat early in
the mornings is stronger than in the
north, but there is always agood
breeze during the day which makes
it delightful. No musquitos to speak
of and scarcely any flies. There is a
little white gnat that is some annoy
ing. 1t occurs to US that if the mon
ey was placed here to exploit this
country that is placed in Northern
summer resorts that tourists would
come here to spend their summers in
stead of going north again. As to the
comforts and conveniences here.
find they have as good cows, horses,
chickens and hogs as anywhere.
They have some allegators but no
more snakes of poison than in West
Virginia. The soil is mostly sandy
vet there is much rich loomy lands
TOR truck and garden purposes. The
water is good but needs ice to make
it better. But this tropical country.
is maze of beauty and surprise to
US. As to health there seems to be
no malaria or fevers, or at least we
DO not hear of them. The peopl,
here are remarkably social and friend
ly and one need not feel lonesome q
little bit. The prices of real estate
is rapidly advancing and desirable
property is now worth about the
same as at home. Every thing looks
good to the unprejudiced visitor here
IN August. D. S. SNYDER.
