On an incoming Tabor train
Tuesday this conversation was

Tabor last week told us Sioux City

charged him $3.50 for the same
work our local man did for 75c.

How it Feels to Have the Flu.

A north Arkansas man who. had
the Spanish influenza, gives mighty
good version of his experiences which
everyone who has had siege OF the
disease can verify, says an exchange.
He says in his version:
If YOU haven't had the flu, you can
tell when you have it by my, symp-
toms. 1t creeps upon you like pro-
hibition did on Kansas. First you
have a chill and your teeth make
more racket than a tin lizzie. Your
back gets SO cold it would make a
cake Of ice sweat, and you have
fever at the same time. You taHe
your temperature with bar OF cold
iron: you hold it in your mouth and
it goes to 800, degrees OF fever, put
if It gets white hot you have 500 de-
grees, and had better take some
thing. You sneeze sixty times to the
minute. When you sneeze, your mead
leaves your shoulders about Iouf
feet, your neck stretches like rub
Der; it's the rebound that nurts.
Your back hurts some too. If you
hanpen to sleep, you dream that the
butcher is removing your backbone
with a dull cleaver. Every time you
get long breath, it feels like you
have swallowed handful OF fish
hooks. And your eyeballs and lids
are so sore you don't bat them at
all lust grease them to keep them
from drying up. Your eyes are there
lust for ornament; you can't near
anything. Your nose gets scared;
it runs all day. You only take 10
kinds of medicine dose just every
fnur minutes. OF course, you may
inst have a slight case OF it..

BUY NEWSPAPER SPACE.
Can't Read Sale Bills from the Deck
Of q Speeding Tin Lizzie.

Clell Collier, the auctioneer, con
sidered the best authority on PUBIC
sale business in Clarke county, told
a Democrat representative the other
day he would rather all his clients
would cut out the sale bill and card
advertising and spend the money ~
diciously in buying display advertis.
ing space in the county papers, says
the Osceola, Iowa, Democrat.
He says, How in the dickens IS 9
fellow going to read q public sale
bill stuck up on the four corners
when he goes by in his lizzie at 9
80 mile per hour clip, and who Is
going to stop said lizzie to just read
sale bill.
Another thing" he says, what
farmer has got the time to throw
away driving around the town tack
ing up bills, when he can get his al
vertisement right up to the family
hearth in the family paper in the
evening, to be read at leisure hours,
where it does some good. 1T gives
the farmer and buyer a chance to
look the advertisement over careful
ly and pick out the things he wants
before he attends the sale. 1t makes
things at sale speed up, it brings
larger crowds and they come from q
greater distance, consequently II
brings in more money. Newspaper
publicity and lot of it is what gets
the people," Mr.. Collier said.
