ADVICE To AIn WoNrEN.

You want every detail of your home
above reproach-clothing dishes and
kitchen appurtenances. table linen,
bedding. carpets and everything that
could be tainted with dirt.
Hewitts Easy Task Soap provides
the means without the black-breaking
labor with which you must suffer
when you use the many cheap" soaps
on the market.
Easy Task is a soap of absolute in
tegrity, and If you never used 1t be-
fore. we recommend that you give it a
trial on the most liberal terms. Buy
two fve-cent cakes, and If the first
fails to give satisfaction. return the
other and get your full money back.

The Hobbled LADY.

Miss Arabela Slimmins wore her hobble
skirt to town.
Her figure was quite modern, of a style
straight up and down.
1t was a small community in an unsettled
state.
The dash that Arabella cut was wonder
fully great.
Old Uncle Billy Bingle come a-ridin' down
the street.
He is the most near-sighted man you'd
ever chance to meet;
Which makes the style Of cards he plays
particularly quaint;
Sometimes the pair he bets is there an
then agin it amt.
lookin' sweet,
Yet somethin' like a post. so perpendicu-
larly neat
Old Uncle Billy. he rode up to rest his
self spell.
And hitched his boss to her before she
had chance TO yell.
The lady, she stampeded. an the boss, he
had TO 60
But, OWN to her handicap her pace was
ruther slow.
She grabbed his name an somehow got
aboard an let him jog.
Bill missed his boss an then society was
all agog.
That Arabella stole that boss her lady
friends all say,
Though Bits too courteous an polite to
see the case that way.
