An Example.
We note that a Chicsgo man mur
dered his wife because she was too
extravagant.
We hold this is going altogether
too far. Not for a minute would we
indorse or countenance or approve
such drastic methods, but we see no
objection in every married man read
ing the item aloud to his wire as a
warning. Detroit Free Press.
"When the Devil Was Sick"
Two old gobs had been at odds
ever since the day of their enlist
ment. They were due for discharge
within a few days when one of them
was taken seriously ill and the doc
tors broke the news to him that he
had small chance to live. He sum
moned his old-time enemy to his
bedside.
"Mac," he said plaintively, "they
tells me I'm goin' to kick over. If I
do, will ye fergit all our fights and
sort of let bygones be bygones?"
"That'll be a'right," said Mac, in
great embarassment.
"And, Mac" here the old gob's
voice grew stronger if I ever get
well and ye remind me I ever said
that, 1 11 knock that fat wooden block
off yer shoulders."
Oases.
Whatever else may happen since our
country has gone dry
The sailor still will have his port and
the farmer have his rye;
The cotton man will have his gin,
and the sea coast have its bar,
And each of us will have a bier no
matter where we are.

Do You Fire Your Doctor When
You Get Deathly Sick?
Of course not! You hire a few more and do your best
to obtain the most expert talent available to cure your ail
ment. Why, then, when your business gets sick, do you fire
the best doctor you can possibly use to overcome the mal-ady-DR.
ADVERTISING ?
The famous Philadelphia and New York merchant,
John Wanamaker, has said a great many times and in a
number of ways, "When business is poor, that ia the time to
increase advertising, and to this policy we owe a large meas
ure of our success." What applies to the merchandising
business in the large centers applies with equal force to
business in the smaller communities.
Business in Heppier is not the best, but it is improv
ing. It can be made a great deal better if business would as
sume a more optimistic attitude, and push itself forward
vigorously and confidently. Advertising will go a long way
toward curing the ills that business is suffering from, and a
liberal application will make a wonderful difference.
TRY IT!

General Pershing tells the story of
volunteer battalion of rough bacK
woodsmen that once joined General
Grant. He admired their fine phy-
siaue. but mistrusted the capacity
of their uncouth commander to mn-
die troops promptly and efficiently
in the field, so he said:
"Colonel, I want to see your men
fit work: call them to attention and
order them to march with shouldered
arms in close column to the lert
dank."
Without a moment s hesitation the
colonel yelled to his fellow ruffians:
Boys, look wild thar! JViaKe reaay
to thicken and go lert siaewaysi
Tote yer guns. Git"
The maneuver proved a brilliant
success and the self-elected colonel
was forthwith officially commission
