PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Small Town People Had a Great Idea,
but 1t Was Disappointing to
the "Drummer."

A commercial traveller arrived for
the first time at a small country town
n evening. Early next morning ne
was awakened by a great blowing OF
whistles, steam sirens, buzzers, etc.
Rejoicing in the thought Of doing a
lot of business, he asked the hotel pro-
prietor later on:
"This is quite a manufacturing
town, isn't it"
"Oh, yes; we're pretty busy" was
the proud reply.
"What kind Of factories have your

"But l heard at least 8 dozen whis-
ties going this morning"
"You did," agreed the proprietor.
dropping his voice, confdentially, "but
they are all at the -four mill. You see.
we got the whistles we should want for
the factories we are going to have, and
put them in to make the town sound
more lively. Quite 'citiied,' amt it?"

The Similarity.

Ray Bright was Santa Claus on
Christmas eve at the Thompson kim
dergarten at Terre Haute. His little
daughter is in the kindergarten, SO
he was very careful to change his
voice and actions as much as he could.
But when he went to slip on his Santa
Claus suit he forgot all about the
white handkerchief around his neck
which he wore to keep his collar from
rubbing the boil underneath.
And after the party was over and
he had again donned his citizens
clothing he went after his little
daughter. Happily she said, "Oh,
daddy, Santa Claus was here a little
while ago." and then her voice be-
came sympathetic, "and, oh, daddy,
he has boils on his neck, too."-Indian.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
Bile and may be Respondent; it makes any
one SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do fol
them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, yor
may receive sample size bottle by Parce
Post. You can purchase medium and

Birth Of Shakespeare.

One of the Owen county teachers
tells Of the following which she found
in a written biography of Shakespeare
handed in by n of her eighth-grade
pupils:
"Shakespeare's schooling was the

was born, but it is thought that 1t
was probably some time in the early
part of his life"
One of the f~irst-grade class was

Possibly Not What He Meant.

The farmer and his fair young
cousin from the city were going round
the farm together, and the farmer was
rapidly falling beneath the spell Of the
town maiden's eyes. You see, she
knew the way to do 1t.
"Now, that's a pretty scene" he
said, pausing beside the fence Of a
paddock in which a cow and a calf
were rubbing noses together in bovine
love. "The sight Of 1t makes me want
to do the same"

thing p~lacidly; "it's your COW, you

DUG GRAVE FOR CATERPILLAR

and Probably Provided Future
Source of Food

A lady seated on a porch n sum-
mer day witnessed a performance by
one of those industrious little crea-
lures, the ants, that she would hardly
have credited If she had not observed
1t for herself.
As she rocked back and forth neal
the edge of the porch she noticed a
dead caterpillar lying on a hill OF SAND
below the house. 1t was a fat cater
pillar and doubtless In life had been
a vivid green color. but nov 1t was
faded and rusty locs.ng. Large stones
surrounded the mound of sand, n
presently it appeared that there was
another spectator of the caterpillar's
last sleep. A huge ant ran up over
the stones, back and forth, nearer
and nearer, encircling the caterpillar
several times, as though on a hasty
tour of inspection. Apparently salts
fed, it then disappeared, but not for
long; it had only been surveying the
outlook lower down. There, in a shell
tered spot near a big stone, 1t sud
denly began making queer movements
in the sandy clay. Digging-that is
what it was doing.
With eager haste it threw up little
bits of sand with its legs, and so fast
did it work that a tiny hole began
to show itself in the sand. The lady
leaned over the balustrade of the
porch and watched with eager in.

But now was to come the hardest
part of all, and if 1 had not been an
