piece in the weekly paper announ-
cling that he had a cream separator,
and that any one was welcome to come
and see it work. 1t was naturally
quite curiosity, and the neighbors
used to cone in often at milking time
to see it in operation. But no one
wanted to pay that much for such a
little machine, and it was nine months
before he succeeded in making his
first sale. In 1894, the following year,
however, he sold ten machines, and
then in 1895 sold twelve after which
his sales increased every year until
1862 he had reached the sale of 200
machines per year.
Success ON the Farm.
AS farmer Mr.. Martiny's peculiar
pride and qualification has been the
raising of fine stock, and though he
sold his farm five years ago and now
has only nine acres close to the city of
Baraboo, he is still keeping few head
of the best stock that can be had. He
has a registered Percheron mare that
has dropped her third colt, along with
her previous yearling and two-year-old
colts, and he could easily sell the three
colts for 81 900. Then he has two grade
jersey COWS that are each making 6OO
pounds of butter per year, and Poland
China SOW that has been a prize win
ner at different state fairs the last two
years. To quote his own words, he
fluids it pleasure and pasttime, as
we'll as a source of profit, to care for the
best stock that can be had along with
the handling of the best cream separa'
tor ever made.
A WhOIe-SouIed Citizen.
Personally Mr.. Martiny is genial,
who'e-souled man, whom it is pleas
ure to know, commanding the respect
and confidence of wide circle OF &C
uuaintances and of every one with
whom he has ever had business rela
tions. He is capable of seeing the hu'
morous as we'll as the serious side ol
things; is active in church work, anC
public-spirited citizen, always ready
to lend helping hand. At the same
time he is we'll informed on all state
and national questions of the day, pre-
pared to discuss intelligently any sub
ject of general interest, and keeps
abreast of the times.
In addition to the accompanying
picture of Mr.. Martiny we are pleased
to be able to show one of him starting
out from his barn in his new automo
bile, which he now uses in canvasslng
with couple of separators for deliver.
in the country, while at one side ma.
be observed few competitive macaine

SNUFF-DIPPING GIRLS.

Look here, you little old igno-
rant, backwoodsy, snllff-dipping
goslings, I'm talking to you now.
| know how you slip out behind
the house and smear your mouths
with that Internal old nasty stuff.
Gee whizz! You must have a dog S
stomach. A snuf-dipper's mouth
reminds me of the back door of a
lanyard. If you have seen other
fool girls swabbing their tattle-
traps with solution of snuff and
slobber, I can't imagine what you
saw about it worthy of imitation.
The habit is so nasty and repul-
sive that any decent girl ought to
be ashamed of it, and no respecta-
BILE young man wants a sweet
heart with a bale of snuff caked
in each corner of her mouth.
You wouldn't dare let your
nanny catch you dipping snuff,
and you are fools enough to think
she will never know. But that's
where you are mistaken. Any
nanny with sense enough to
grabble 'taters or feed the pig
will not be long about catching
up with you; and when she does
find it out, if she is the nanny
she ought to be, she will remove
everything but your hide and then
get a peach-tree limb and proceed
to remove about half of that.

WRITE NE A LETTER.

Hello there, friends! / want to
ask a little favor of you. You and
| are partners in the Fool-Killer
business. | am here at this end of
the line with my coat off and my
sleeves rolled up. [ am writing
and printing the immortal hot
truck that will kill the fools and
paralyze the rascals and hypo-
critics. [ know you are in sympa-
thy with what | am doing and it
will help some if you will write
and tell me so.
Therefore | ask you to write
me letter. Show this copy of
The Fool-Killer to all your friends
and get them to subscribe if you
can. Then when you write you
can send in big club. But if you
can't send any subscriptions just
now, write me a letter anyhow.
Speak a good word for the paper
something that will encourage me
and interest the other fellow. If
you know of any fools that / have
overlooked, call my attention to
them and | will pour a bucket of
melted language down their necks.
| These words are addressed to
every person whose name is now
on my subscription list. / want a
personal letter from every one of
you. Just sit down and talk to me
the same as if you were here in
my Office. / will answer you
through the paper, and we will
have the jolliest time you. ever
saw writing to each other.
| Don't forget to show The Fool
Killer to everybody you see and
take their subscriptions. But
whatever you do-write me a let
ter. DO it now!
The fool-killer., 1910-06-01
WISE AND OTHERWISE.

The biggest fool in the world
may know some particular thing
better than anyone else, and in
that he is wise. If he makes good
in that line, what be don't know
about other things makes no diff
ference. He gets the glad hand
and life is all to the merry.
Your paragon of wisdom may
have his weak spot, and right
there he may fall down. If he
devotes his life to one thing and
fails, what he might have accom-
plished in some other line don't
count. He is fool. That's what
the world says, and the world
thinks it knows. Yet the world
may be fool.

JOLTS.

Backbone is better than wish
bone.
Human happiness cannot be
preserved in alcohol.
The highest price you can pay
for some things is to get them for
nothing.
The people of olden times be-
lieved that the world was square.
Perhaps it was in those days.
The reason some people have
such little mind is because they
are always giving other people a
piece of it.
They say Roosevelt is threaten
ed with incipient bronchitis. Land
sakes! Incipient bronchitis must
be a plum fool to tackle Teddy.

THE NAME Is A HIT.

Yes, indeed, boys, we are on
the right track. The name of a
paper has a good deal to do with
it's success, and I have certainly
struck it rich'' in selecting
name. ''The Fool-Killer" sounds
catchy and CUTE and people nat
urally expect something rich in a
paper with such a name. They
have all heard of a traditional gen.
tlefnan of that name who is said
to be always behind with his work,
but they never expected to see
The Fool-Killer blossom out IN
the shape of newspaper. And so
the name arouses the readers S
curiosity, tickles his fancy, and
gets him in good humor to start
with. Then the rest is easy. He
reads and laughs and wants more.
He reads it to all his friends, and
they also laugh and want more.
Then they make up a club right
on the spot and send it in. And
that is the reason The Fool-Killer's
fame is spreading so rapidly. 1t
has good name and tries to live
up to it.
This is not a local paper, and,
strictly speaking, it is not news
paper. It is monthly journal OF
Denunciation and Hard Hits. II
is the voice of one crying IN the
wilderness-crying out against the
sins and shams of Society, Church
and State. Its mission is to strip
the veil of deception from off the
face of things and let you see them
as they are.
I know The Fool-Killer has
tackled big job-one that canno1
be finished this side of Eternity
but | am going to stay with it till
the COWS come home.
Come on, boys, and enjoy the
fun with me. When The Fool.
Killer gets to be the most famous
paper in the country you will be
proud of the fact that you were
associated with it from the start.
All aboard! Honk! Honk!
