; CHAFF FROM THE STRAW STACK
, By The Wind Stacker
You cannot be of a sonny disposition
- if you have nothing else but daughters.
.,' A woman may admit that her hus
; band gets tight, but never like her
shoes are.
When a lady attends an afternoon
party, her husband will wait for supper
with pleasure. Aber nit.
. Almost every man knows just e
nough about cooking to be able to ad
vise his wife how to cook. B..t it is a
hard job to wash dishes when she is
away from home.
I A truly good wife is one who loves
her husband and her country but does
not try to run either.
The day before a man gets married
Is several hours longer than the day
before the rent is due.
The man who will take an umbrella
to church and leave .tt in the vestibule
has the true christian faith. v
A woman always feels a secret con
tempt for the woman who has on a
bargain waist or skirt just like hers.
"Thou art fair, but thou art false"
the maiden sadly said. Then she laid
her blonde hair 'on the dressing table
A case of sad domestic infelicity Is
reported from an interior tgwn. Just
because he did not get up early enough
for breakfast, the wife of a teamster
emptied a basin of buckwheat over
him and as he dodged out of the
kitchen, plugged him with the salt cel
lar. Me had her arrested for salt and
battery.
When a woman gives a party it is
regarded as a failure unless they have
. a lot of guessing contests. Why not
have the guests to guess at what con
stitutes the filling in a modern sand-
' wich. 'Unless it is plain ham without
any frills, can you tell what is a sand
wich these days. They are using ev
thlng from nuts to table varnish.
; RELIEF FBOM HHKCHATIO PAINS
"I suffered with rheumatism for ov
er two years," says -Mr. Rollancl Curry,
a patrolman, of Key West, Fla., "Some
times tt settled in my knees and lamed
me so I could hardly walk, at other
times it would be in my feet and hands
so was Incapacitated for duty. One
night when I was In severe pain and
lame from it my wife went to the drug
store here and came back with a bot
tle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I
was rubbed with it and found the pain
had nearly gone during the night. 1
kept on using it for a little more than
two weeks and found that it drove the
rheumatism away. I have not had any
trouble from that disease for over
threa months." For sale by W. P. Mc
Millan's Drug Store.

WONDERFUL ECZEMA VVRK
"Our little boy had eczema for five
years," writes N. A. Adams, Henrietta
Pa. ''Two of our home doctors said
the case was hopeless, his lungs being
affected. - We then employed other
doctors but no . benefit resulted. By
chance we read about Electric Bitters;
bought a bottle and soon noticed Im
provement. We continued this medi
cine until several bottles were used,
when our boy was completely cured."

ried; that his wife will entertain com
pany, has entertained company, has
entertained friends, or perchance has

to stop us on the street and let us
know it.

I Arnica Salve and that cured the dan
gerous wound." 25c at W. P. McMil

LEXINGTON,
Is the lanU'ige of the gods,'
Don't be too quick to judge and don't
be so dull of comprehension that you
would have be knocked to take a hint.
Don't go barefooted waiting for "your
father's shoes when he dies, but to work
and earn enough money to buy a pair.
Don't forget that when you die this
old world will still wagon and not one in
ten million will attend your funeral or
even hear of your death,
Don't get a notion In your head that
if the world will not devote itself in ma
king you happy you will devote yourself
in making the world unhappy.
Don't be afraid that your, merit will
not be discovered. People "Will you find
if you are worth finding. A diamond is
not so easily found as a quartz pebble,
but people search for it all the mare
Intently. 1 .

Jottings by a Dairywoman,
Tlio butterniakur who 'takes enough
pride in her product to stamp it neatO,
wrapping each print in paper prepared
for the purpose, usually has un article
worthy of the care.
A tin pall la a very poor receptacle
for taking butter to market iu hot
weather. A wooden pall or basket
does not draw the heat.
, How about tlie reputation of the "best
buttermaker if her goods "go to the
grocery and are placed In contact with
the odor of fish, flesh and fowl ? If eho
can sell direct to regulai; patrons, un
just reflections on her product from
this cause are avoided.
If one has too little cream for churn
ing, It may be converted Into butter of
excellent quality by beating in a bowl
or crock. Use a fork, spoon or stirring
Btlck and keep It very cold. If there
Is milk In It, the process ls.too slow to
'be profitable, but with pure cream It la
comparatively little work, and there Is
no washing of churn afterward.
If near a trolley Una, cream can be
Bent to the city market and realize
more profit than butter In the old way
and with less work. Bessie L. Putnam
In American Cultivator.
, 'In using a cough syrup, why not get
the best? one that comes highly recom
ended is Bees Laxative Cough Syrup,
contains Honey and Tar and is superi
or to other cough syrups in many ways.
Children always like it because it con
tains no opiates, is a laxative and Is
guaranteed to give satisfaction or your
money refunded. Try It. Sold by.W
