Browninq's Peculiar Eyes.

BrOwning's eyes were peculiar, one
having a long focus, the other very

without any apparent effort. though
sometimes on the street in strong sun
shine his face would be a bit distort-

Sorry for Husband.

A husband who says his wife chased
him out of the house when he was
clad in his night shirt and pursued
him in the direction of an electric arc
light admits that he spanked her with
a fence picket. Considering the lack
of distinction which marks the night
shirt and the pitiless publicity which
the arc light might have given the cos
tune, it is easy to sympathize with
the husband if his whole statement is

Local Advertising Mediums

Two things are certain: One
is the farmers do not appreciate
the possibilities of the county
weekly as an advertising medi-
um; the other is that the pub
fishers of country newspapers
do not appreciate the possibili-
ties of the nearby farmer as a
source of advertising. If either
party realized the profits that
could be made by such local ad-
vertising there would be more
of it done.
Most of the advertising done
by farmers is done in the farm
papers, and there can be no
question that such journals are
the best mediums for the man
who has for sale any consider
able quantity of anything that
other farmers might buy-live-
stock, poultry, seeds, land, and
SO on. But many timesa farmer
has things to sell that the people
of his own town could use: or he
may have too small a quantity OF
something to justify the ex
pense of an advertisement in a
paper of large circulation. Then,
If he has no customers in sight,
the local paper offers a way out.

Nicholson's s office the pair entered
and with all the blushing bashful-
ness of any young couple in simi-
lar circumstances made known
their desire and were wed. The
word "blushing" is used because
it is usual. in such accounts, but
whether or not it accurately des.
cribes the Sioux and his bride is a
matter of doubt as there was very
little real change in the dusky COM
plexion of either. The marriage
marks the union of two who can
trace their lineage in pure Sioux
blood back to the days when the
roaming Redmen were the only
inhabitants of South Dakota, be-
fore the coming of the white men.
