Simpson Mathews, is about as careful
a workman as we have. He always puts
in a little extra time on his work, and
the finished job shows it, for he always
gets his work out the way he is instructed.
Walter Morrisette can do good work
and if he will only try to get in a little
more time he will learn much faster.
Peter Bushman! Well, we all know
him. He is a mechanic; he cannot help

Drafting.
Fiction about steel: Many people
imagine by blowing their breath on the
blade of a knife they can tell whether the
blade is steel or pot-metal. Now, a
person's breath will adhere to apotmetal
blade and fade away the same is on
steel, but nine out of ten men don't
know this, and that is the reason why
so many people carry inferior pocket
knives. Don t buy any edge tools unless
it is sharp; if the factory cannot i-harpen
them, you cannot.

strongest rectified spirits 3 ounces, and
digest them together in a corked bottle
in a worm place .until dissolved. It
should have about the consistency of
molasses.
