A Wasp Ktllina Time.

Yes, we have all heard Of "hog
killing tines" but wasp killing is
rather OF rarity, but is strenuous
and exciting enough to make up for
any other peculiarities or rarities i,
may possess. These red varmin,s
had taken advantage OF the shady
cornish OF the Rustic Office, and had
pre- empted home steaded, aud taken
actual possession OF this domain
and had begun to dispute the righ,
OF anyone to trepass on or come near
their premises. Monday, Ray Eid

Dorsey Osborn filed contest paper.

How 4 Wife Cured Her Husband
OF Drink,


The August American Magazine
contains a remarkable temperance
document written by wife aud enti.
tied "iow ! Saved NV Husband"
The husband was an able Young
business man who began to ne lect
his wife and childreu and spend his
leisure time drinking This went on
for number Of years. and gradually
the man began to loose his business
grip and self.respec, Younger men
were placed above him in his business
and he was certainly going down hill.
Finally, at l::D O'Clock one morning,
his wife confronted him when he
came home and told him frankly that
she no longer loved him and that she
positively despised him. She told
him calmly that she had prepared
room for him across the hall from
her and tha, he could no longer ex.
pect to share the home with her.
From this point the story goes on as

Cato 3 Advice Still Holds Coco.

Each succeeding generation be-
lieves it is just little more enlighten-
ed than its immediate predecessor.
We are prone to think that the men
who died and were resolved into dust
before we were born were not nearly
as smart as we are. Because we of
present have the telephone, the tele-
graph, the aeroplane, the binder,
mower and reaper, electric cars and
swift going ocean vessels. to say moth

tions that add to the physical comfort
OF man, we are apt to think Of the
ancients as benighted people CROP
ing in darkness. Here is a little
timely advice given by Cato 1000
years before the Savior came out Of
Nazareth:
"When you have decided to pur-
chase farm be careful not to buy
rashly; do not spare your visits and
be not content with a single tour of
inspection. The more you 20, the
more will the place please you if it
be worth your attention. nor heed to
the appearance Of the neighborhood
"a aourishing country should show
its prosperity. When you go in look
about so that when needs be, you
can find your way out. Choose a
place which has not often changed
ownership, one which is sold unwill-
ingly, that has buildings in good re-
pair. Beware that you do not rashly
condemn the experience Of others.
II is better to buy from a man who
has farmed successfully and build
WE'LL"
Have you read any advic. recent
ly by any OF the wise moderns that
contained more practical wisdom
that make man great, an wisdom
comes from within. Those old iel-
lows OF the olden time may have been
a triae slow, according to the present
standaId Of fast living, but they had
as deep an understanding of life and
its meaning as we of today. Human
nature has changed but little since
the dawn of creation. Missouri and
