LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly Co..
WINGED That the Younsstsr Was
compstsnt to Give Il.

The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to. for It
was getting late. He rather suspect.
cd they had wandered out into the
garden. SO he wendell his steps in
that direction. He soon came across
the young people, and found them In
most interesting attitude. The
young man had the fair girl clasped
in both his arms. and was kissing her
as II he hadn't tasted such a dainty
for at least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
osculatory performance to the finish
which he found to be somewhat weary
work--and then made his presence
known.
isn't 1t very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
1T isis rather, pa" faltered the
fair girl; "but-but Mr.. Popple has
been giv-giving me lesson In as
astronomy"
my stars" calculated the old gen.
tleman. He has, and no mistake! I
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great Bear hugs"
Then the young couple looked SO
foolish that the old gentleman shut
his eyes out Of sheer compassion.

for not taking out dog license. JUS

from the body of the court, offered
his services and was duly sworn The
accused was fined S., the interpreters
fee was Is, Cd, so the municipality lost

out afterward that the Interpreter

The President.

The president OF the United States
has nothing whatever 10 do with the
making OF the laws of the Individual
states or OF the United States, He is
purely and simply the national execu-
tive, his business being 10 carry out
the laws that are made By the con
gress. In order to be able to make
laws the president would Iced to be
an absolute monarch, like the czar or
russia or the Sultan OF Turkey AS
II is, he is simply the head servant OF
the people, with his duties clearly laid
down In the constitution, and from
which he cannot deviate, Instead Of
making the laws the laws are made
by the legislative servants u the peo-
ple for him to execute.

Birds Commit Suicide.

A very strange occurrence in ma
ronal history has been seen in the
dooded country of the Fen district in
eastern England. A narrow bank
runs alongside a flooded area OF near
~ 1000 acres. Walking along this
with intention of learning what had
happened to his cartridges, keeper
put up a covey. 1t flew in the direc.
ton of the longest arm OF the flood.
fhe birds, which were rather a late
hatched covey, after flying some dis
lance, suddenly and at one moment
together dropped into the water and
we're all drowned
II has been much discussed lately
how the cartridges are able to fly,
but the curious part of this collapse
was that the whole number fell stimuli
ianeously, as II they had decided to
lie together.

PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT

Near the year 2O6 B. c., in the be-

workers In earthenware set their pots
In the oven to bake. and forgot them.
When they remembered them and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots we're vitrified in shining
spots. In this way the enameling Of
porcelain was discovered. When
freed OF Its dross the substance grew
lighter, become clear, and acquired

ceramic art. In 1868 Tai.Tsu, the
son OF day laborer, dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty Of

for we all have to work to
make a living. Our property
has always been in our own
name. We have never Deen
sued for debt. We are able
to pay all we owe. We will
admit that there was a well
organized effort made some
time back to put us out Of
business because we put the
price 50 low that our credi-
tors were afraid that we
would 60 broke. Some OF our
checks went to protest with
out the bank giving us no
tice of same. The people
stood by us and our sales for
May will run over Sl5,OOO.
We have the right system
strictly cash, no losses and
no expenses of delivery.
You must have better
goods for less money or
your money back. Every
customer must be satisfied.
If the people continue to ap
preciate the buying of bet
ter goods for less money we
will hold prices down no
matter what others may do
or say about us going broke.
We need your trade, for
the more we sell the less the
expense of selling same. If
we were forced out of bust
ness how long would the
present low prices of groc
cries continue? Let the peo-
pie answer same.
We do not ask sympathy
for we can make a living at
other work. We only ask
you to look to your own in
terests and if you have been
benevted by our low prices
we then ask you to stand by
us and help us to continue to
make the low prices that we
are making.
Bankers and wholesale
houses are afraid to trust
us. They say we are selling
groceries too low to be con-
sistent with good business
methods, but inasmuch as
we pay cash and take all our
discounts this does not hurt
us so long as the people
stand by us.
Every wife and mother
should take great interest in
buying groceries for her
family. She should go to
market, select all she buys
and know that she gets the
best and gets the lowest
prices and gets full weight.
BY doing so, she can help to
reduce the high cost of liv-
ing and make home life more
happy. Those who phone
their wants or give same to
a solicitor always get what
is left and pay the highest
prices. We believe that now
is a good time to buy sugar.
