DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food 10 Not Suited,

When Nature gives her signal that
'omething is wrong it is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Ari-
zona man says:
For years / could not safely eat
any breakfast. | tried all kinds of
breakfast foods, but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches l drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.
A friend persuaded me to quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods.

might drink with ease. While
drinking she took fright and ran
with Mr.. Carter hanging to a

her, Mr.. Carter grabbed with his
free hand at a wire fence and
the end of wire tore a deep
cash down one finger. The mare

FLEAS, RATS AND BIG BUGS
COMING TO JUDGMENT

Hello, Fool-Killer, how are
those heas up around the Falls
by this time? They must be aw-
full bad by the way you roared
about them. But I'll eat biscuit
for breakfast for a year if they
are any worse there than they
are here.
Say, Pearson, l saw something
the other day that was a sin to
the cats. l saw a rat baptized
into the Christian church. Now,
what do you think of thatg |
think it was a sin to the cats,
and | believe the rat would as
soon the cats had got it, anyway.
But you see it was tangled up in
a young lady's hair and it didn' t
know it was going to get saved
until it was almost drowned, and
then it tried to get away, but
she grabbed it.
I tell you these rats bother me
about as bad as the feas. In fact
l haven't got a thing against the
little pesky feas, for they always

lady where I was boarding not

to travel" The old lady said,

. R M ON MARRIAGE.

A green boy without a dollar,
present or prospective, sparkling
a girl regularly and talking a.
bout marrying is a spectacle for
gods and men. He should be
be reasoned with, and if he will
not quit it until he is able to
support a wife and to know who
he loves, and the difference be-
tween love and passion, then he
should be quarantined or put in
a convent erected on purpose
for such cases.
Nine-tenths of the unhappy
marriages r the result Of such
green human calves being allow
ed to run at large in the society
pasture without any Jokes on
them. They marry and have
children before they do mus
taches; they are fathers Of twins
before they are proprietors of
pants; and the little girls they
marry r old women before
they n twenty. Occasionally
one of these gosling marriages
turns out very well, but it is
a clear case of accident.
If there was a law against
young galoots sparkling and
marrying before they have cut
all their teeth, I suppose the lit
tie cusses would evade it in some
way, but there ought to be sen
timent against it. It is time for
these bantams to think of find
ing a pullet when they have got
money enough by their own
work to buy a bundle of lathes
to build a coop for her.
But they see a girl who looks
cunning and they are afraid
there will not be girls enough to
go around, and they begin to
get in their work real spry, and
before they are aware of the
sanctity Of the marriage relation
they are hitched up for life, and
before they own a cook stove or
a bedstead they have to get up
in the night and go after the
doctor, SO frightened that they
run themselves out of breath,
and then abuse the doctor be-
cause he don't run too. And
when the doctor gets there he
finds that there is not enough
linen to wrap a doll baby in.
