A 9s.Cent Grocery order

A 9S-Cent Grocery Order
Scientists are discouraging persons
at times.
Ever since we can remember we
have liked the old rhyme about
What are little girls made of? Su-
gar and spice and all things nice.
What are little boys made OF? Rats
and snails and puppy dogs tails"
These answers suited US perfectly.
They gave US a CLEAN of consolation
in a world that belonged pre-emi-
nently to the small boys who could
hit hardest.
Now comes science with a still fur
ther penetrating analysis Of the stu
alton, announcing the total chemi-
cal composition of the average man"
to be summarized as follows:
Fat enough for seven bars OF
soap; iron enough for a medium
sized nail; sugar enough TO fill a
shaker: lime enough to fill a chicken
coop; phosphorus enough to make
1900 match tips: magnesium enough
for a dose of magnesia; calcium
enough to explode a toy cannon and
sulphur enough to rid a dog Of fleas.
MANY items in this estimate ex-
plains the authority. ARE left largely
to the imagination, such as the size
OF the dog and the number OF his
tormentors, but the total is given as
ninety-eight cents"
This is indeed a sad blow to ro-
nance. Here we've been worship
ping for ever SO long at the tam
~broganed feet of man, only to dis
cover at this late date that he's
nothing more than ninety-eight cents
worth of groceries.
But all is not lost. There Is some
thing about that ninety-eight cents
which appeals to Jur feminine love
for a bargain.

He allowed nine scattered hits and many

He allowed nine scattered hits and many
of these hits developed into runs all on
account of poor judgment in tossing the
ball about. He struckout six men and
passed three on balls.
Fro, also, got wicked wallop in Sat-
urday's batting practice before the game.
He was hit with a thrown ball on his
throwing arm near the elbow joint. It
turned all colors of the rainbow in very
few minutes and no doubt caused him
plenty of agony in trying to play in Sat-
urdays contest.
Mr.. J. r. Kolliner, Stillwater's former
mayor, who is a lover of the national
pastime, made his initial appearance of
the season on the local lot. By unani-
nous vote of the local fans he was selected
to ofaciate as umpire. In this capacity he
has served the local fans for many years
past in giving his assistance toward con-
tributing to a good ball game. His pres
eDce on the local diamond is always well
coined and in most cases he is always
selected as the principal arbitrator be-
cause his judgment is always sharp and

a tale of woe, not long ago, and tried to

fortunate one "I thought l could land
good position with certain company on
account of the work I'd done in my own
town in their line. But they didn't know
anything about me, and they turned me
down. I took my letters of introduction

A look of mental pain encompassed the

I live Mrs. Meek was bending over her
plants in the bay-window trying to shield
her head with her arms; and right be-

newspapers!"
There was ring of conviction to her
voice, and the others were expressing hor-

band speak to Mr.. Meek about the matter

Meek. I know the family quite we'll,

served Mrs. Mix.
In a few moments Justice arrived at
the Meek home, heard that lady singing
as she raped upon the door, and OBJ
served, as Mrs. Meek greeted her, that
she wore bandage about her neck.
"Why Mrs. Meek! Have you sore

you singing"
The other laughed. eyes, was sing

This is an arnica poutice have around
my neck where a bumble-bee stung me
this morning as l was watering my plants
Mr.. Meek finally drove the bee away, and
killed it with a bundle of newspapers,
but not until had been stung quite badly"
Miss True did not repeat the scan
dalous version which Mrs. Brickcaster
had circulated, but on making excuses of
haste she returned to the Mix home, where
she said as she joined the circle, 'T once
heard of one who sowed tares in another's
wheat field, and it seems that that has
been unthinkingly done today" Then she
gave her listeners the true story of the
bee episode, and added, "Come with me,
Mrs. Brickcaster, while I explain the mat
ter to those whom you have told"
The shamed woman tried to conceal her
embarrassment as she arose at her neigh
boris request that she and Justice go and
seek to undo the harm done by gossiping
tongue. Seeds of scandal however, are
not so easily recovered when once sown;
for in this neighborhood, as in all others,
there were those who still kept the poison
story going until the Meek family, won
dering why they received cold shoulder
from their neighbors, were finally forced
through uncivility to move elsewhere,
while the Brickcaster's were still received
in the neigborhood. ITO be continned)
