ADVICE FOR THE NEW BRIDE.

The widower had just taken his fourth wife, and was show
ing her round town. Among the places visited was the cemetery,
and the bride paused before a very elaborate tombstone that had
been erected by the bridegroom. Being a little nearsighted, she
asked him to read the inscriptions, and, in reverent tones, he read:
Here lies Susan, beloved wife of John Smith, and Jane, be-
loved wife of John Smith, and Mary, beloved wife of John Smith"
He pause dabruptly, and tne bride, leaning forward to see
the bottom line, read:
BE We also ready"

the Generous Response to Our Announcement
of Our Annual Christmas Piano Club Sale

established fact that the price at which an article is sold depends
10 a great extent on the expense incurred in making the sale-for-
instance, should n housewife ask the grocer the price of canned
corn, ne would tell her 10 cents a can, IF he would sell two AM for
z D cents, and II a dozen cans were taken a still greater reduction
would be made. Why does he do this? 1t takes no more Of his
time to sell two cans to the customer than it would one; his store
rent costs no more and his clerk hire is no greater. If he can make
this saving in expense it naturally follows that he can make the
same saving to his customer without loss of profit to himself This
in the selling of pianos? To be sure, very few who buy pianos
would have use for more than one; but why not a number get to-
gettsr ana buy their instruments at the same time, which would
be equivalent to one person buying the lot? Think of the great
possibilities in the way of savings should III people adopt this
of purchasing their instruments. To make such a thing pos
sible is the reason for the formation of the Xmas Piano Club Sale.
One hundred and seventeen pianos have been reserved for club
members and will be delivered to them at the same great reduce
lions Is would be made possible if the entire number were sold to
one person.
Many styles of the world-renowned Kimbal,, the artistic Hazel
ton, the popular Eilers, the famous Lester, the sweet toned Story &
Clark, the we'll known Marshall G Wendell, the marvellous Auto
piano and many other makes are included in our Xmas piano club.

writes a Puyallup sage, "is reading
Taft's last message"
Now just when the standpat sheets
have decided to their own satisfaction
that Poindexter has lost all of his in

KANSAS STUDIES CORN.
rno,,o-rnvk TNf~oc


The people Of the state OF Kansas
have studied the figures showing the
production Of corn during 1911 and
have decided that it was a poor show
ing. And to the end that there may
be a larger crop in the new year it has
been planned. under the direction of
the state college Of agriculture, to have
every grange, every commercial club.
every farmers society and even the
anti horse thief association take up
and study the first principles Of corn
crop production. Strange as 1t may
seem for a new state, the city resident
owner Of farm land is blamed for much
Of the lack of production. It is
claimed that the burden Of making
sure that the farms are not robbed Of
their fertility by the tenants must de-
voive upon the owner and that he
must give more time to his land than
is required to collect the rent and pay
the taxes. The campaign is likely to
add millions OF dollars to the value OF
the Kansas corn crop.

Thousands OF horses are annually
sold under false representations. Some
of these fakirs have become 20 skilled
in their tricks and wlles that 1t re-
quires quite an experienced horseman
to catch them. This is especially 20 in
the doctoring tricks practiced by them
in order that they may dispose Of q
bad animal to the best advantage. This
taking is also known a. "bishoping'
term derived from a man named
Bishop. who, during the eighteenth
century, secured reputation for MAX
ing old horses appear young.
Bishops method was in relation to
the teeth OF the horse. At full age Z
horse has forty teeth. and not until
the fifth year are all visible. Six
months later the nippers on front teeth
become marked by q natural cavity.
and the presence or absence Of these
marks tells the animals exact aGe. Ar
the horse becomes older these marks
wear away, and it is then that Bishop
set to work to make fresh cavities rs
found in horse at the age he wished
to represent.
The surface Of the teeth was cut
out with steel tool, and the back
lining of the groove, which must be
visible, burnt in with nitrate or some
other chemical. In this way horses
Of 8 or 9 years Of age were sold as s.
year olds.
In endeavoring to play the trick of
increased age, 3-year- old, for in
stance, was transformed into a 5-year-
old by means Of chiseling out the side
milk teeth with which horses are fur
nished up to their third year. when
they are supplanted by permanent
ones The extraction of the former
brings on the latter much quicker than
would be the case in the natural order
Of things thus making a horse appear
much older than 1t really is.
