DIR. C. G. Davis has recently had
printed a very interesting circular
dealing with the attractions, accom-.
r'oiations and benefits to be found at
Wsunita Hot Springs Resort.

cal people visit the resort many
times during the season for the re-
freshing baths and to wander about
tie beautiful grounds and enjoy the
splendid meals served at the hotel,
which is under the management of
Sitter Brothers.

gotten out, is well written and gives
in detail the location, accommoda-
tens and benefits to be derived from
season spent at Waunita Hot Ra-
dium Springs.
DR.. Davis and family spend each
summer at the Springs and make
every effort to have your visit at the
Springs made comfortable, and the

FARMER pUTMAN's PHILOSOPHY

Wimmin is so unreasonable. /
reckon most every man, after he's
been married several years, thinks his
wife is the most unreasonable pusson
that ever was. Anyhow so it seems
to 'em. l don't know as Josephine is
worse then other wimmin, but she's
just as bad. Now the other day we
was havin' hot biscuits fur dinner,
and if anybody kin bake 'em fluffy
and fine it's Josephine. She's as good
a biscuit baker as she is at bein' un-
reasonable and contrary. In fact most
everything she is she's just that way
100 per cent one way or the other.
l had ett one of them biscuits, with
butter on it, and was ready fur sew
eral more. Josephine was talkin' fur
dear life, just a chatterin' a blue
streak about the-well I can't say
who it was about, as it wouldn't be
polite fur me to git -pussonel The
biscuits was settin' right near her
plate. was tryin' my best to ask
fur 'em but 1 couldn't think of the
right word to say or git the word bis
cults in edgeways, because of her
talkin'. Finally she noticed my hand
nointin' toward the biscuits and my
lips maxim signs like a black bass
that's gittin' ready to swaller frog,
and she sez:
"What on airth's the matter Tom,
maxim signs like that, can't you use
tire English language?"
"Not while you're usin' it ALL"
sez /.
My gosh! you should-a seen them
biscuits come flyin' acrost the table.
