General Invitation.

One morning Miss Lucy Ha1comb,
Che most fastidious housekeeper In
Bushby, who was reported to have
washed an unfortunate granddaughter
into a decline, opened her front door.
having heard strange noises on the
piazza. There stood tramp, his shoes
caked with mud, which he was scrap
ing off with a knife and kicking off b.
alternate applications of. his heels on
her doormat.
What are you doingY demanded
Miss Lucy Indignantly.
"Doingr' echoed the tramp. II was
starting round to the kitchen to ask
the young lady l saw hanging out your
clothes if she'd hand me bite of
breakfast Then thought / didn't
make very good appearance, and |
was about to go on to the next house
when / saw this mat with the invita-
ton, Please use this mat right on it,
so stepped up here. In about five
minutes more I'll look well enough so
can go round to the Kitchen"

EAGLE Stones and Luck.

Among the superstitious the eagle
stone is held in high esteem as lucky
charm. Thus one of the richest men in
the world would probably turn aside
the question. if it were put to him, as
to how much of his great success, how
many of his millions, were due to his
eagle stone. Yet for a quarter of a
century, perhaps even more, that eagle
stone has reposed in pocket OF his
trousers each business day. When
bordering over propositions that have
needed immediate decision this mag
nate has been seer to take out this
stone and pass it from one hand to the
other. 1t is genuine charm" that
will keep away disaster, it is said, and
gets its name from the fact that it
was found in an eagles nest. Those
who know something of the lore of
superstitions say that if ribbon or
some scrap of fabric is passed through
the hole which perfect eagle stone
is always supposed to contain the po-
tency Of the charm" is much en-
hanced.-New York Sun.

1t is testimony like the following
that has placed Doan's Kidney Pills

of backache and was sannoyed by a
kidney weakness. When Doan's

For the past twenty years or
more the printing offices of this city
have been supplying the graduating
class of the Washburn High School
with their invitations for commence
ment exercises and they Ihave al
ways proven entirely satisfactory.
Each year the local printers get
hundred of samples for the class to
make their selection from but this
year the Class of 1912 have seen fit
to place their order with an outside
concern without consulting the To-
cal printers or asking to see
samples, the price paid being al the
rate, of $4,000 per thousand. A
travelling man, who carries o line
of commencement samples as side
line, was here the first of the week
and secured the order, of which the
school board pays part. During
the year the local papers devote
much valuable space to the. Senior
class in announcing their class plays
aud other entertainments for which
no charge is made and the class
surely seems to appreciate it when
they place their only order for
printing with an outside concern.
