Dad, Here's to You!
, the Pensacola Review

From the Pensacola Review.
We happened In a home the other night
and over the parlor door saw the legend
worked In letters Of red. What is Home
Without Mother?" Across the room was
another brief. God Bless Our Home"
Now. what's the matter with God
Bless Our Dad? He gets up early.
LIGHTS the fire boils an egg and wipes
OF the dew Of the dawn with his boots
while many a mother Is sleeping. He
makes the weekly handout for the
butcher. the grocer. the milkman and
baker and his pile Is badly worn before
he has been home an hour.
II there is q noise during the night dad
is kicked In the back and made to go
downstairs to find the burglar and kill
him. Mother darns the socks, but dad
bought the socks in the first place and
the needles and the yarn afterward
Mother does up the fruit: we'll, dad
bought it all, and the jars and sugar
cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself and draws
the neck from the ruins after every one
else is served. What is Home Without
a Mother" Yes. that is all right but
what is home without a father? Ten
chances to one it's a boarding house,
father Is under a slab and the landlady
is the widow. Dad. here's to you-you've
got your faults-you may have lots of
'em-but you're all right. and we will
miss you when you're gone.

who likes the real American pipe'-the
corncob-is aware of the fact that many
acres in Ohio. Illinois. Missouri and Ne

the especial purpose Of producing cobs

harvest, and is cut carefully into proper
lengths. smoothed and polished, the soft
inner pulp being goused out by specially
constructed machinery. 1t is possible to
buy a set Of corncob pipes. in a nest OF
six, with an amber mouthpiece. mounted
in silver. that will cost as much as $3.50.
The growing of the corn for cob pipe
purposes and the manufacture Of the
pipes by machinery are the conception
of one of the tobacco trusts experts.
The corncob pipe now goes to every
i'm the world where men smoke,
and is especially I'm favor In Australia

In taking down the change speed gear
be careful to observe the exact position
OF every part, as you take it off, SO that
you can place it back in the same posi-
ton. The gear case and gears will
doubtless need to be cleaned. This is
done by draining off the old oil and
filling the gear case with kerosene. Leave
1t In long enough to dissolve the dirty oil
and turn the gears round several times
to thoroughly clean them. kerosene is
much better to clean metal parts than
gasoline. for the reason that a piece of
metal cleaned with gasoline will easily
rust. but kerosene, while cleaning the
parts just as well, leaves an oily film
which protects the metal from rust.

leaders OF the republican party Leroux,

him:

four years is as certain as that the sun
Will rise tomorrow. The Spanish people
are antfc1erical and antimona rchist by

time to sport and too little to the gov

He will not live long"
Hedeman sums up the opinion in i'm

the merchants, who can not compete
with the factories operated by the re-
