Happening. 1
The Croaker.
Once, on the edge of a pleasant pool,
Tinder the bank where 'twas dark and cool,
■Where the hushes over the water hun-j,
And rushes nodded and grasses swung,
Just where the crick flowefl outer the bog,
There lived a grumpy and mean olo frog,
"Who'd set all day in the mud and soak,
And jest do nothing but croak and croak,
Sill a blackbird hollered, "I say. yer know!
What is the matter there below?
Are you in trouble, er pain, or what?"
The frog says, "Mine is an orf al lot;
Nothing but mud and dirt and sitae
For me ter look at jest all the time;
It's a dirty world!"  so the ole fool spoke.
"Croakity croaklty-eroakity croak!"
"But yer lookin' down!" the blackbird said*
'Look at the blossoms overhead,
Look at the lovely summer skies,
Look at the bees and the butterflies,
Look op, ole feller.  Why, bless your soul 1
yer lookin' flown a mus'rat hole."
But still, with a gurglin' sob and choke,
The lone old critter would only croak.
And a wise ole turtle, who boarded near,
Sez to the blackbird, "Friend, see here.
Don't shed no tears over him, fer he
Is low-down jest cause he likes ter be;
He's one er them kind er chumps that's glad
Ter be so mis'rable like and sad;
I'll tell you somethin' that ain't no joke:
Don't waste yer sorrow on folks that croak."

Davy Sc Company,
Certain Cure for Insomnia,
"Insomnia is a self-inflicted curse
through the violation- of Nature's
laws," writes Edward B. Warman in
the June Ladies' Home Journal. "The
cause may be over-anxiety, planning
for the morrow, thinking and worrying over the yesterdays and todays,
but no opiate can remove the cause,
even though it may bring sleep. If
the cause is merely mental overwork it
may be quickly removed by relieving
the brain of the excess of blood.
Physical exercise is a panacea for
about every ailment which human
flesh is heir to. Therefore, stand erect,
and rise slowly from the heels; descend slowly- Do this from forty to
fifty times until you feel the congestion In the muscles of the leg. Almost
instant relief follows, and sleep is soon
induced. For those who are averse to
& little Work I would recommend, instead, a bowl of very hot milk (without so much as a wafer) immediately
before retiring. The hotter the milk
the better for the pUfpose, This will
prove a better sleep-producer than all
the opiates known to medical science.
It brings about an increased activity
of the blood vessels of the stomach,
causing slight temporary congestion,
which relieves the blood vessels of tho
brain. The hot milk Is a3so <juite
strengthening to tha stomach,--
Qiwoltty luillbe Remembered,
\  long after price is forgotten.
This is true when it comes to binders and mowers.
A farmer will either be pleased or displeased
with his machine for years. So a few dollars
extra for a CHAMPION MACHINE is a good
investment.
