TOMMY KITS DREAM.

ww FRS. TABBY felt highly insulted
M one morning when she went in-
to the barn and found five traps
placed near holes where the mice
lived. 1.-THE very idea," said Mrs.
Tsbby to her four kittens, ''just as If
could not attend to this without
these traps around.
Children. I want you to pay strict
attention to what I say, for you are
now old enough to help, and 1t may
be that l have given more time to
playing with you than to my work
Now you must help. I want each
of you to watch near one Of these
traps and when a mouse runs out OF
Its home don't let him get into the
trap-OATCH HIM"
AfteF telling her Children this, Mrs.
Tabby sat down to watch near the

The brand is very popular about
the county, being handled by nearly
all first-cass retail dealers. The
public should look at the label be-
fore drinking any soft drink, and
demand their goods.
In this modern plant the bottle ID
hardly touched by human hands until
it is ready to put in the cases for de.
livery. The plant is a credit to the
community and is open at all timei
to the inspection of the public, and
the public is cordially invited. Few
cities many times larger can boast
of such modern and scientifically
equipped bOttling works.
We are pleased to point with pride
to the establishment Of this firm and
to commend them in the class Of
goods that they are furnishing to the
trade, and assure everyone that wher
they order this brand they will gel
TIE very best.
