Two Really Good "Bulls."
In the report Of a Dublin, charity organization the following paragraph appeared: .
"Not*withstanding the large, amount
paid by the society for medical attendance and medicine, very few deaths
occurred during the year."
Which calls to mind the story of the
two countrymen who were passing an
eye hospital famous for its. skilful operations.
"Jack," exclaimed one of them, impressively, "in there they'll take your
eyes out and put them on the table
in front of you and let you look at
them."
The Bitter Truth.
Diogenes slowly entered the pawnshop and placed his lantern, on the
counter.
"What can I get for this?" he asked.
The pawnbroker picked up the lantern and examined it curiously.
"Rather antique pattern," he commented. "What do you consider*- it
worth?"
Diogenes bowed his head, the humiliation of centuries upon him.
"Nothing," he bitterly admitted.
"Nothing at all."—Bohemian.

and.an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2. All stay wires are made as heavy as intermediate line  wires.     A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it.     Think
.this over carefully. -       ■    -
3. No wraps to get loose.', to hold moisture and cause rust,
1.   No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
5- ■ Stronger at the -joints thamany other fence.     Welded together with

6. Guaranteed, that the wire is not injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven: ground*.
8. Guaranteed that stays will not separate from joints.
9. Guaranteed all right in every particular.
10. Made by the most- modern process and on the latest, improyed machinery.
11. Most of the weak points in other fences are on account of the  way
ha stays are fastened. . .-*

"This game-cock, as you well know,
found himself one day in a stable full
of horses—huge, restless steeds. They
were all kicking an'd stamping ahout.
The cock had to dodge from right to

.100.00 PRIZE
r '   .'     '■■     ' '«'/',,
We will give $100.00 in gold for the correct
answer to the following questions:
Is Co-operation practical and what would be the
result in brotherhood, in commercial enterprise, in
the savingjm your purchase? For instance, suppose we had 500*stockholders, each trade $200.00
a year, making our sales $100,000.00 at a 20 per
cent profit amounting to $20,000.00 less $5,000.00
for expense, leaving a net profit of $15,000.00 to
be divided back among the stockholders. Suppose
this continued for 20Vears amounting to $300,000
placing the profit each year at interest which would
nearly double.
Please study this question and tell us what grand
results would be accomplished. This is a simple
problem "and not overdrawn.
SEED POTATOES-We have a nice lot of choice
seed. •
MILK—Price of milk 5c .per qt, quality good.
BREAD-We sell Alber's Bread. Haven't the
citizens of Saline grace enough to patronize and
maintain at least one home enterprise, let's wake up
and exercise golden rule principles a little^more. *
LAUNDRY—We have a lot of pleased customers.
