How TO Sell a Cow.

A Scotch dealer at Clones fair
was asked by a Scotchman to do
him q favor. "You see that
woman" said he, pointing to a
woman. well, I've offered
her five pounds ten for her cow,
but she won't sell. Now, if you,
a stranger, should offer her five
pounds fifteen, she would sell.
but would not sell to me for that.
Will you be kind enough to take
this half-crown and bind the bar
gan with it, and / will then pay
the moner and take the cow"
The good-natured cattle dealer
effected the purchase as request
ed, and then turned to find the
-countryman: but the latter was.
gone. He was forced to take
the cow himself and pay for her,
though she was not worth half
the money he had thus bid to
oblige the missing countryman.
1t was afterwards ascertained
that the woman was the coun-
tryman's wife.

A Mothers Ignorance Of her
Prospective Son.in.LaW.

A contributor to the August
Woman's Home Companion on
the subject of marriage writes,
in part, as follows:
How much do you mothers
know of the men their daughters
finally marry? And how much
real friendship and trust is there.
usually, between young men
and the mothers of the girls the
young men choose to marry?
Yet | do not as a general rule
count this to be the fault of the
young men. The mothers are
older and wiser-should be wiser
at least in all such matters-yet
they are generally slow to speak
of them or share in them. wheth-
er from shyness, or jealousy, or
inability to express themselves,
or a forgetfulness of the years
when they, too, were young.
1.-THE mother who does not
think herself wiser in all these
matters than her daughter is
rare to find; yet there are not
SO many mothers who are con-
sciously helping-ftting would
be the better word-their daugh-
tiers to make a wise and rational
choice. Perhaps most mothers
have a hope that when the time
comes they may be allowed to
choose for these daughters of
theirs; and they failed to realize
that almost their whole duty lies
in fitting them to choose for
themselves"

Advantages Of the SiIo.

To sum up, what are the ad-
vantages of the silo?
|. Silage enables cows to pro-
duce more epomically.
2. The silo enables a larger
number of animals to be main
tanned on a given number of
acres.
3. 1t keeps animals in better
physical condition.
a. 1t prevents waste of corn
stalks.
5. Silage is more conveniently
handled than dry fodder.
6. There are no aggravating
corn stalks in the manure when
silage is fed.
Z. The silo will make palatable
food of stuff that would not
otherwise be eaten.
The silo came on trial and
stays on merit.

Give Freedom.

Secretary Garrison ordered
Col. Edwin P. Brewer, of the
Fourteenth Cavalry, at Fort Nc
Intosh, Tex, to demand the re-
lease of five Americans, together
with $50 cattle and thirty horses
held by Mexican revolutionists at
Hildago Mex Secretary Bryan
requested the action.
The attention of the State De-
partment was called to the i'm
prisonment of the Americans
and the seizure of their property
by Consul Garrett at Neuvo Lar
edo, Mex. When Consul Garrett
demanded the release Of his
countrymen tn e revolutionists
told him they must await orders
from Piedras Negras.
Secretary Bryan, who made
public the order to Col. Brewer,
declined to discuss the question
of what would be done in the
event the revolutionists declined
to give up the Americans and
their property.
1t was regarded as certain at
the State Department that Col.
Brewers demand would be COM
piled with promptly.
Hidalgo is on the Texas border
about fifty miles northwest of
Fort Mcintosh, and it is expect
ed that the Colonel will execute
his mission before many hours
pass.
So great is the lawlessness
around Tampico that the better
class of Mexicans have joined
Americans in organizing vigilan-
ties under commission of the Fed
eral Military Governor of San
Luis Potosi. Already fourteen
bandits have been hanged. 1t is
expected that a military Gov
ernor will take charge of the
State of Tamaulipas, as has been
done in Vera Cruz and San Luis
Potosi during the last few days.
The Consul at Mazatian has
reported to the State Depart.
ment that many destitute Amer.
leans are arriving at that port
and that he has already sent
twenty-four refugees to Sar

Hints on Etiquette.

First calls should be returned
promptly.
Invitations to a dinner are is
sued in the name of both host
and hostess. The reply is adj
dressed to the hostess only.
1t is bad form to stand talking
when taking leave of your host
ess. The adieux should be made
simply and quickly.
If carriages are sent to the
station to convey guests from
cut of town to a wedding the
brides parents provide them.
1t is not necessary for a gen.
tleman to offer his arm when
acting as an escort unless the
lady is elderly or an invalid.
The visiting card may not be
used with words of thanks for a
gift written upon it. A written
note of thanks is obligatory.
A man leaves his hat, over
coat, gloves and cane in the hall
when making a call. None Of
these are brought into the parlor
Wedding gifts are not present
ed personally, but sent with
ones card, usually from the
place where they are bought.
At an afternoon reception the
hats are retained; with the ex-
certion of the ladies who have
been asked to assist the hostess.
Bread and butter plates are
now used in place of the little
butter patties; they are about
the size of a saucer and placed
at the left of the plate.
The visiting card should have
the prefix Miss" or Mrs" up
on it, never the name alone with
out the prefix except in the case
of very young girls or boys I'M
der Is.
On formal occasions no napkin
rings appear on the table and
the napkins is used but once. At
the home dinner the napkin, if
not too soiled, should be placed
in the ring to be used again at
breakfast or luncheon.
On a mans visiting card only
titles that indicate a rank or pro-
fession for life should be used.
All titles of a transient order
should be omitted. Titles that
may be used on the cards include
army and navy titles, also the
titles given in theology and med
icine.
A slight or any rudeness is
best met with perfect silence on
the part of the person offended.
Frequently a slight is uninten-
and an explanation will be
given. Good feeling is much
sooner restored when the offense
has not been talked or discussed
among a number of people.

On Second Thought.
By Jay E. House.

Livery married man Is IOrceu,
a dozen times a day, to explain
to his wife by saying, II only
meant it as a joke"
Up to the time a man is fifty
he lives for himself. After that
he lives for his children
You cannot repay your obliga-
ton to the hostes who has in
viued you to dinner merely by
praising the meal. You must
also praise her house and her
children.
1t is Eph Wiley's notion that
in Jackson's case well enough
should be let alone.
No man really wants a girl
whom some other men never
have tried to kiss.
You can tell pretty well the
sort of fellow he is by the incl
dent that inspires his laughter.
Men and Buff Cochins are alike
in the respect that the Buff Co.
chin also has feathers on it's legs.
A good many regret the fact
that there is but one heaven.
They believe there should be two
heavens for themselves
and one for the lower classes.
Touching the assertion that
kissing is unsaniuary, Buck Xii.
by says those who kiss do not do
it for their health.
Eph Wiley has noticed that
the hand that ROCKS the cradle
frequently belongs to an older
brother or sister.
The personal pride of the man
with a fat stomach is excelled
only by that of the man who has
the longest whiskers in his COM
munity.
A woman's notion of an ideal
husband is one who can remem-
Der the anniversary of their mar
riage.
A woman follows her emotions,
a man his pocketbook.
Now that the subject is fresh
in mind, it may be as we'll to ad-
wise younger generations that it
wasn't Gettysburg they were
fighting for.
Marriage also means that a
man must stand still three or
four times a day while a woman
picks the Rawlings off his clothes
After a girl is seventeen her
time is about equally divided be-
tween visiting, entertaining
company and writing to h r
friends.
Every salesman employed in
furnishings conceives it to be
his duty to sell union underwear
to his customers.
Eph Wiley says a small set of
threes is the most insiduous
hand, but Buck Kilby contends
that two pairs lure more men in
to the field of wild cat invest
ment.
