CHAFF FROM THE STRAW STACK
No one is proud of a secret marriage.
A corn Is not an eye sore. It Is a
toe sore.
It Is easier to catch a train than It
Is to hold it.
Necessity Is the mother of Inven
tion and patentright is the father.
And now the coal man smiles a
smole that puts a printer In the hole.
No one appreciates good health un
til he gets Into the hands of the doctor.
The people who do not believe In
hell, pray the loudest In a thunder
storm.
You should take care of the children
In summer, but In winter "let 'em
slide."
Loan this Wheatfleld to your neigh
bor. The Wheatfield Is the best for
the money.
The east Is losing all Its prestige.
Even Boston bake i beans now come
from California.
The ladies like small waists so they
wont have to wear suspenders to keep j
their clothes up. i
" A respectable , man here beat his
good wife three times the other even
ing. They were playing euchre.
A man does not have to be a pro
fessional mind reader to tell whether
his best girl ate limberger for supper.
- Some Lexington ladles drink vine
gar for their . complexion. They are
the sour-faced women you meet on the
street.
At a dance the other night a young
lady called her beau an Indian be
cause he was on her trail a good deal
of the time.
Be careful what you advertise. A
Lexington merchant advertised Free
Stone Peaches for sale. A lady came
In a few days later and Inquired for
some of the peaches he had advertis
ed free of stones. No names mention
ed as no money has been paid for this
local.
Recently a' woman rear Condon was
severly bitten by a mule. Perhaps
the poor mule was hungry and mistock
the woman for a grass widow.
There Is not much difference wheth
er a howling tomcat Is killed or not. If
he Is killed he is made Into fiddle
strings for some galoot to saw from
morning nntil midnight.
"Yes sir, all the great men of the
country are named William," said
Billy Jones, as he stove his thumbs In
his sides. "Hows that?" asked Billy
Smith, while a thankful smile hit his

features. ''Why," answered Billy,"
there was William McKlnley, William
Bryan, King William and William
Jones." And then Billy's face fell a
couple of blocks.
Here Is a new Swede story; The
doctor had been called to take charge
of a new Infant. Looking scrutinizing
ly at the infant, the doctor said;"Hans
what s the matter with the child, it's a
skinny little thing, ?nd you are a big,
stout man, and your wife a large healthy
woman?" "Waal, doctor, I tole you "
said Hans; "we bain up in North Da
koto two yaar and we bain glad to g-t
the seed back."

"Two years ago our little girl had a
touch of pneumonia, which left her
with an awful caugh. She had spells
of caughing, just like one with thp
whooping cough and some thought sh(
would not get well at all. We got a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remec'y
which acted like a charm. She stop
ped caughing and got stout and fat,"
writes Mrs. Ora Bussard, Brubaker,
III. This remedy is for sale by W. P,
McMillan's Drug Store.

Roosevelt's Early Cowboy Talk.
Nothing amused the cowboys more
than Roosevelt's choice of words and
manner of speech. He was a Duriat
in language and at first was unable
to tacicie tne cow punchers slang.
While driving his bunch of cattle
to his Chimney Butte ranch a num
ber of them started up a coulee. An
sxperienced foreman would have
shouted, "Git a tit on vou. ther.
and head them steers !" or "Hit the
high places and turn 'em!" Roose
velt's order, while equally (sharp,
nearly paralyzed the flvmz cow
punchers. It has been treasured
Till v . 1
ana torn ana retold whenever two
or more cow punchers have gathered
together.
Standing in his stirruDS. he onen-
pd his steel trap mouth and yelled,
"Hasten quickly forward vonder!"
The wonder was it didn't stampede
tne nera. Boston Herald.

in some form possible on that satellite;
but not for human being, who have a
