The writer, while driving between
LaBelle and Knox City the other
day, saw a young lady out in "a
field raking hay like Maud Muller
on a summer day" She was one
of the handsomest girls in KuoX
county and we learned upon inquiry
that she can play a piano, sing in
the church choir and make her own
clothes. She give the finishing
touches to a brick Of choice butter,
cook a square meal any day in the
year and can do the family shop
ping when occasion requires it, and
while she is about it some molly
coddle in town, too lazy 10 work, tou
proud to be5. too honest to steal,
has his eye on her and some of
these times will ask her to take
him FOR better or for worst and in
all probability she will accept the
proposition. People do some
strange things sometimes but the
Star will wager the price Of a
youthful family carriage that she
will make nm good wife. La

The man who jumps at cOnclu-

queer places. -.
No man really believes that there
is room at the top till his hair be-
gins to fall out.
The heavier the load a man is

to add to it.
Nobody grows rich out of the
things he is going to do tomorrow.
Talent runs in families-and it
takes talent to run a family, too.

Branching Out

A few years ago Herman Levy
came from King City, Mo-, and pur-
chased a stock of clothing. Then
in a couple or three years added a
stock Of dry goods to it and as his
trade like Little jennie Jones'
apple" it grew and it grew until the
large room would not hold the sized
stock he wished to carry, so he
bought the great j. B. Anderson
stock and sold his stock of clothing
and moved to the Anderson room.
His trade continued to grow and
grow until the Anderson room be-
came to small for his business and
he rented the two north rooms in
he Redman block across the street.
He has moved his ladies tailor
made department. shoes. carpets
rugs, etc, to the two rooms and that
leaves the large Anderson building
for drygoods only.
1t shows what energy backed by
integrity will do, for when one says
Levy" it means straight treatment

cornstarch, add them to the eggs
and beat the mixture lightly. Beat
