hot weather, the crop will again be

How Mary Solved the Problem.
Little 4-year-old Mary was wander
ing Idly about In her garden, when
her eyes caught sight of Dick, the
neighbor's boy, holng potatoes.
Without an invitation she entered
their garden, surveying him with in
terest. Dick raised his i hat and with a
merry twinkle In his eye, said: "Good
morning, Mary; how is your liver
to-day?"
"I I don't know," stammered
Mary, with a puzzled expression but
suddenly her sweet little face changed
to a sunny smile and her tone sound-
,ed very superior and wise, when she
answered:
"I have not seen It lately."

Had Abraham Lincoln lived In Nor

never have been known to the world
as "Honest Abe," becaue there hon
esty Is so common as to attract no at
tention. Travelers tell us that at the
Kiilway restaurants passengers help
themselves to whatever they wish,
and then report what they have eaten
and pay for the same without any
questions being asked. A person's
word Is always taken, and he is never
watched. On the steamboats, after
each meal, a traveler writes down In
a large book what he has eaten. When
ready to go ashore, he calls a waitress
who affixes a price to each Item, adds
up the amount, receives the money,
and puts It in her pocket. When filled
she gives the money, without count
ing, to the stewardess. Instead of
making them careless, they are more
scrupulously honest than any other
nation in the world.
WANTED.

tables for pickers. Will begin picking

we can place your names on our
hooks. No booze fighters need apply.
