It Wan Curtailed.
A pretty good joke is told on a young
lady school teacher in a district not a
thousand miles from Lebanon. On
Monday a ?i:iall urchin entered the
school room with exceedingly dirty
face and hands. The teacher bade biiii
go and wash himself. In a few minutes
the boy returned with his hands niccly
washed and wiped. His face also had
been washed, but onlv the lower por
tion had U-cn wiped dry, the rest of his
face was dripping with water. On being
told to return and wipe his face he sidd,
"But, teacher. I cant." Naturally sur
prised, the teacher asked why he could
n-t follow her instruct ions, "inasmuch
as he had succeeded In washing his face
ami hands and wiping tiicm so nicely,
as far as he had gone. The small boy
answered, while the big tears ran down
his cheek: "My shirt ain't long
enough." The answer was followed
by silence, succeeded by a suppressed
titter. The young l.-.dy was so em
barrassed that she con't "look at a bolt
of sheeting without blushing up to her
enrs.
A Xsw Industry.
Our attention was called to a new
industry by. seeing hand-bills cullim

countries as a cathartic and laxative
remedy and the call for It ha been
enormous in the last fen years; the
bark being manufactured intoelixer'
cordials, lluid and soml extracts. The
buying of so large a quantity will ma
terially assist the people in the sur
rounding country.

meant that the prices asked were next to a gift, which is
true enough, llacklenian sells the
CELEBRATED MATHER KID GLOVES
Every pair warranted or your money refunded. Come and
