SOME  REAL COLD WEATHER
Grocery ' Drummer   Felt: the   Frigid
Wave Coming and Took Precautionary Measures.
"Cold?" repeated the grocery drummer as he came into the lobby of the
hotel.   "Where?   When?   What?"
"But it's zero weather," was protested.
"Zero weather? My friends, do you
know what they, would call this up in
"Winnipeg? Just a southern, zephyr.
The men would be out In.their shirtsleeves playing baseball, and the women would be wondering how soon the
grasshoppers would be around." .
"You've been up there, have you?"
was asked.
"Spent one whole winter there."
"And how cold -was It?"
"Only 47 below most of the time.
For a space of four days it reached 60,
but that was exceptional. Don't talk
about zero weather to me!"
"Many freeze to death?"
"Hundreds. I saw one man freeze
to death while simply crossing the
street."
"And yon suffered?"
"Not a frost-bite. "When I found
.winter, was setting in and no chance
to get away I took my measures. Oh,
no, I didn't suffer."
"But how did you escape?"
"I first bought the hotel. Then I had
steam heat put in. Then I ordered 300
tons of coal and employed three engineers. Then I had double windows put
in all the porches and verandas
wrapped up in cotton batting. At
every meal we had mustard and tabasco sauce and other heating things.
I also kept all the waiters swearing,
and thus we pulled through with the
loss of only one man."
"And how was that?"
"Oh, he was an obstinate old cuss,
who insisted on sleeping in a room
with only five radiators .going, and he
was found frozen to death in his bed.
Zero weather!    Humph!"

Power of Conscience.
It is doubtful if many of the things
men regret are done only after a battle with conscience. Conscience is
strong. When awake it lays a restraining hand upon the shoulder nof
the wayward impulse and pulls back
as no other force In the world. It is
very difficult to trample upon an
awakened conscience. And those who
do it probably wipe away that conviction upon which the restraining influence of .conscience is based. They
knew the prick of conscience less
keenly than  any others.
It seems more often to be the part
of conscience to awake to a realization of the situation after all is done
and then remain like the magic word
"Ticonderoga," both through sleep
and waking hours. Judging from the
activities around us, the average man
would reach the conclusion that the
errors which men most regret, are
committed when they least realize
what is happening. Moat of the mistakes are made with a blithe thoughtlessness which does not even hint
at the possibility of the remorse to
come.
Probably if the world could har»
Its boon It would wteh for few things
better than that conscience, should
make cowards of us all rather than
persisting in its cowardly attack from
the rear.^San Antonio Express.
"Best on Earth"
This is the verdict of K. J. Howell,
Tracy, O., who bought Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound for his wife. "Her
case was -the worst I have ejser seen,
and looked like a sure .case of consumption. Her lungs were sore and
she coughed almost incessantly and
her voice was hoarse and weak. Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
brought relief at once and less than
three bottles effected a complete cure."

The Element of Convenience.
The man rocked the boat in midstream. Was he laboring under a
misapprehension?
"That isn't as idiotic as mortgaging
your house to buy an automobile?";!,
at length called out to him from the
shore.
He laughed bitterly.
"I know it," he replied. "But I can
rock the "boat without, having to get
my wife to sign papers!"—Puck.

FAITHLESS  CORN.
■ Corn has decided to do without the
respect and admiration of the people.
The promise of the crop at the period
following early seeding was unexcelled, and every eater of meat and
eggs in" the land could congratulate
himself that this, promise "was equal
to the realization of last year'. The
immense crop of 1910 had cheapened
food considerably, and another large
one this year would have had a tendency to settle prices for a couple
of years or more, provided no real
shortage oc'curred in the crops of
those years," says the Providence Journal. But the current stock of information about the 1911 crop makes the
prospects, for such a substantial arrangement for trade and business
wherever dependent on the crop anything but bright. Beef and hogs, with
poultry, will be the corn-eaters most
directly affected. There is -dariger of
a repetition of the highest prices for
them, and of the possible maximum
charge once more for eggs and fresh
fowls. Three months ago the promise
under which these all have been sold
since last fall brought a large supply
of cheap corn into the market. Today
the indications are of a rise to the
figures of last summer and of September and October of last year. It is (possible that the warm weather and
drought conditions have not seriously
•hurt the crop and that the quotations
for corn will fall off correspondingly
when the real facts are shown to be
more propitious.
A Des Moines man had at attack of
muscular rheumatism in his shoulder. A friend advised him. to go to
Hot Springs. That meant an expense o£ $150.00 or more. He sought
for a quicker and cheaper way to cure
it and found it in Chamberlain's Liniment. Three days after the first application of this liniment. For sale
