REFLECTION8 OF A BACHELOR.
(New York Press.)
If a girl's eyes cross she can think
they do It In a very coquettish way.
The way a man can keep on being
craxy over a girl Is for her to keep
on being crazy over some other fel
low.
The honeymoon Is mostly over
when the couple quit buying their
meals In hotels and the bride tries
to provide them at home.
The reason a woman wants to get
clothes In the very newest fashion Is
so as to go and call In them on all
her friends who haven't got them
yet.
No matter how clever a man
knows his wife Is it makes him groan
to have her ask him to explain why
a company he has stock In Is sot try
ing to cheat him when It calls Its
surplus a liability.
Department Store Premium.
The Georgia editor who announc
ed that he couldn't give a sewing
machine to every cash subscriber
should read the following story:
"A solicitor for tbe Lawrence
Journal called on a woman the oth
er day to ask her to take the paper
and have it delivered to her home
every evening. 'Not me,' said the
madam. 'I've just subscribed for
another paper, and they a,ave a "God
Bless Our Home" motto, a kitchen
range, some fly paper, a rainy-day
skirt, an Ice pick, a picture ot Ed
ward Bok crossing the Delaware In
a gilt frame, and send me to the
next exposition throwed in.' "
Trouble With Weeds.
Welborn Beeson of Talent, who
was recently In Douglas county, tells
that the people up there are very
much wrought up over the fact that
the Tipton, or Trass, weed Is mak
ing disastrous Inroads on the stock
ranges. In some localities Mr. Bee-
son stated, the entire range Is ruined
by this weed.
Not Coughing Today?
Yet you may cough tomorrow! Better be prepared for it
when it comes. Ask your doctor about keeping Ayefs
Cherry Pectoral in the house. Then when the hard cold
or cough first appears you have a doctor's medicine at
hand. Your doctor's approval of its use will certainly
set all doubt at rest Do as he says. He knows.

"But yon are not going to mix np

"I feel that my country Is calling me.
I can't atand by and see her de

swer her appeal, bnt I can hesitate no

He Didnt Register.
"That's all nonsense. Yon hear some
grafter calling yon Instead of your
country. What on earth can yon do to
help save her? Yon didn't register this

not go to the theater with me and let

"Woman, yon aak what I can do."
sternly replied Mr. Bowser as he rose
up and stood before her. "It Is true
that I cannot cast a ballot bat does
my Influence end there? Go to tbe
theater! Go to the theater when our
beloved country is passing through the
crisis of her life! Women, yon must

"No. I can't make a political speech."
pathetically replied Mr. Bowser as he
walked to and fro, with his bsnds be

that count above speeches. If one can

There waa a plain sneer In Mrs.

that he didn't grow red la tbe face

He didn't however. He hung on to
