The Legend of the Four
leafed Glover.

Where the superstition regarding
the four leafed clover originated is
not definitely known, but among
many nations the finding of four
leafed clover is regarded as an omen
of good-luck and happiness.
The fable goes that certain young
man DESTROYS of winning fortune,
decided to search for the four-leafed
clover. Hearing they were to be
found in distant part of the country,
he left his home in search of one but
seemingly without success.
Persistently continuing his search,
he wandered from country to country
but without avail. Finally after
years of futile effort he returned to
his own home wearied from his
wanderings and broken in health and
spirits. And upon arriving at his
cottage, to his amazement, be dis
covered fragrant punches of the long
sought four leaved clover growing in
his own garden.

Substitute for Plaster.

When the walls crumble or an acct
dent has caused an unsightly hole, 1T
can be- filled, even if there is no lime
on hand. Take old newspapers, cut
into long strips and the strips into
small pieces. Put into a tub and
cover with water. Let stand for ten
or twelve hours, then squeeze out the
water until the pulp is quite dry.
Pick pieces still finer and add some
boiled -four paste and little melted
glue if you have it. Use just as II it
were plaster. 1t will dry firm, but
dirty in color. Ii one is not going to
paper over it it will look better cover
ed with cheese cloth.

Hnioftg Our Patrons
The Measure Of Merit.

The average tool is like the average
man. No one can tell its worth until
it has proved itself. No one can tell
whether its edge will stay sharp, firm
and true when hard knock comes,
or whether it will nick or twist.
The man who values all tools by the
same standard, and buys average tools
over and over again, loses money that
he could save by exercising little
care. In the. old days he had no pro-
lection and had to buy his tools on
faith.
In order to indentify their tools the
Simmons Hardware Company brand
them with Keen Kutter trade mark,
known in all parts of the world as the
mark of efficiency and quality. When
a workman of any kind, or a farmer,
sees that trade mark, he knows that
the tool that bears it will more than
meet his expectations. He knows
that any edged or handle tool, or any
piece of cutlery that is marked Keen
Kutter is the very best that his money
will buy.
The man who uses a Keen Kutter
axe knows that the handle is put in
to stay, because it IS held fast by the
Grelner everlasting lock wedge. He
knows that that axe is balanced with
absolute correctness, and that the
Chang" is perfect He knows that
his Keen Kutter axe will hold its
edge and cut true and deep. So it is
with his Keen Kutter Ratchet or
hammer, chisels, draw knife or planes.
He knows that he can get the verv
limit of service out of any Keen Kutter
tool from lawn mower to a pocket
knife.
Every Keen Kutter tool, of any
kind, is thoroughly tested before the
Keen Kutter trade mark is stamped
upon it, and if it is not just what it
ought to be in quality it is destroyed.
This is done for your protection and
their own. If Keen Kutter tools we're
turned out hit or miss, they could
not hold their customers and sell to
the same firms year in and year out.
Suppose you bought three chisels
before you struck one that would do
all you required of it. You would
pay three prices for one tool, and
have two useless tools on your hands.
Ii the chisel were a Keen Kutter you
could trade it back for another with
out cost to you, and keep on doing it
until you struck the right one. That
is guarantee that really guarantees
something definite.
Suppose you paid few cents more
for your Keen Kutter chisel. The
difference in quality wonld more
than repay you, and you would only
pay for one chisel, once.
Keen Kutter tools and cutlery are
recognized as the finest made, in
almost every hardware store, as is the
famous Keen Kutter guarantee. But
if your dealer does not carry them,
you ought to write at once to the
Simmons Hardware Company, ST..
Louis Mo-, and they will see that
you get what you want.
