The Spirit Moved Him. An old mgro preacher approached t soul hern physician and offered crap of paper. Please, sab, rend dat," he Bald.

"But you haven't any malaria, uncle," be assured the old man; "none of it around here at all." "Whan do dey hnb it de wusl, Mars Jeems?" the old man asked, curiously.

Tribute to French Wives. French girls make good wives. The Trench bride is comparatively less ex travagant than her Hrltlsh or Ameri can sister. Where the liritish wife re quires $1 a week, the American wife $18 or $-0 a week for the housekeep ing, the French wife will manage ad mirably on fl.HO. The Frenchwoman does not regard her husband as a mere money making machine and her bouse simply as a pluco to sleep In. As soon as she is married she is her husband's partner in business as well aa In private life. She considers it her duty to make herself acquainted with every detail of her husband's busi ness. No French husband will think of taking any Important step without first consulting his wife, and her ad vice is often amazingly shrewd. A Gibsonltm. Dave Gibson delivers himself of this epigram, which we grab off before he gets a chance to print it: "The business of a business man is 1 to see that his employes attend to it." Cleveland Leader.

An attempt was made to break Into i the Uurllngton station at Heaver City ut 11 o'clock Monday night. The agent lives over the depot and was awakened by the noise made by the burglars who wem trying to force an entrance through one of the windows to the ticket office. Mr. Irwin, tho agent, telephoned to the sheriff, who organized a posse and started for the elation, which is nearly a half mile from town. His approach was no ticed by the intruders und they mude a hasty retreat to the east and were not captured. There was a consider able sum of money on hand at the time, which Is suppose.! to have been known to them. No clue to their identity has ben discovered. IS LACK OF FAITH !XKKKkkk-:k-xkkk-xx-k- h Violent Method of Courtship. W. Pett'kRIdge, the English novelist, is a good story teller, and most of his stories concern people in the poorer ranks of life, and by far the greater number of t,hem have the merit of be ing true. The following contains a rare touch of human nature, and speaks for Itself. A certain clubVor working girls in the East end of Lon don had recently elected a new mem ber, and one day the secretary hap pened, to look out of the window, and was surprised to see the new mem ber rush, up to a strange lad in the street, punch him violently on the head, nnd then run away. The secre tary remonstrated with her sharply, to which the new member made re ply: "I'm very sorry; I won't do it no more, if it's agin the rules; but per haps you won't mind telling me, then, how am I ever to get engaged?" Immense Normandy Apple Crop. Tills year will go down to posterity in Normandy as the apple year. Never until this year has a Normandy farmer been known to express satisfaction with his crop. His usual answer about it is that "for a year where there are no apples there are apples, but for a year where there are apples there are no apples to speak of." This vague ness is a Norman peculiarity. You cannot get a "yes" or "no" In answer to a question from a Norman peasant. "Well, perhaps yes," or, "After all, per haps not," Is the nearest he will ever go to a positive assertion. But this year he admits to u good applo crop. During the past month 50,000 railway truck loads of apples have been sent along the Western line as against 6,000 trucks last year. Good Advice.

Follow the Plighting of Troth "What Is Wqthy of Jealousy Is Not Worthy of Love." Among the dictionary definition of Jealousy is that of envy. True', an other Is zealous watchfulness, but this state of mind implies fear, the uneasi ness of uncertainty, and this is in compatible with the perfect love which casteth out fear. As associated with love the word implies a dread of los ing the thing desired, a state of mind which to the timid perhaps Is natural and well nigh inevitable in the first stages of courtship. The man who is seeking to win a woman and who has rivals in the field hus a strain upon his nerves mid emo tions which upsets his normal balance. He becomes worried, fanciful und moody. The woman who already Is won, but who must conceal her feelings until the victor chooses to claim his con quest, scarcely can fall to be restless, capricious and nervous. This mainly is due to the restraint which she is putting upon herself nnd the haunting fear that he may be in love with some one else. But when the lover has spoken nnd each holds the plighted troth of the beloved, then Jealousy even in its most amiable form Involves a lack of faith in the truth and the sincerity of of the beloved which is anything but complimentary, declares a writer in the Chicago Tribune. Whatever its cause, Jealousy is bound to be a disturbing element, and the less indulged it is the better. Al ways the expression of it is more harmful thnn helpful. There is a great deal of truth in the doctrine of mental suggestion as applied to love, and this especially is the case with men. The Jealous woman hates to hear other women praised, and though she possibly may remark upon their good qualities herself, she objects when one of her own admirers, however faintly, expresses admiration for another wom an. And when she praises it Is with a reservation. "She is pretty, but," etc. No wise mnn would marry a jealous woman, however much. he might care for her, could he realize how little peace and comfort probably will be his portion after marriage. No wine wom an would marry n jealous man, since she certainly could not hope to be hap py if she did. Jealousy is responsible for more broken engagements, more matrimo nial unhappiness, than any other cause, with the possible exception of beastly Intemperance In drink. Yet people who ought to know better go on excusing It, claiming that it is the result of love and the natural out come of a humble opinion of oneself, Instead of being, as in nearly all cases it Is, the result of colossal van ity, a vanity which is exasperated at the thought of precedence given to an other. The man or woman whose tempera ment will allow him or her to pass through life superior to the pangs of jealousy has cause to be thankful. It Is wise to remember tho saying of the Greek sage, that "what is worthy of Jealousy is not worthy of love." t t t t t i ? t t t t t Character Written on the Face. Faces are records on which appear tho result of every selfish, malicious thought and every wicked desire. The woman who Acs Into fits of temper soon looks like on orge or a dragon. The man who dissipates and drinks soon acquires tho loafer's countenance. Moreover, it is our good, true thoughts that muke for our happiness, as well ns our appearance. All the mental and physical systems nre practically con trolled by these little guests of our brains. Lie awake all niht and worry and behold your next morning face. It will scare you to death. You can change your embittered moods by ex ercise out of doors, by going to church, rending wholesomely stimulating books, by associating more with chil dren and by doing gooi!,, kindly acts for those who are about you. ? t t t t t y ? y t y t t y t Women Like Pockets. "Talk about the small boy and his desire for plenty of pockets," remarked Harry New, manager of one of the biggest concerns In tha city or in the west, manufacturing women's gar ments, "no youngster with his first pair of trousers is half ns excited about his pockets as is tho average woman buying a cloak or suit. Within the last few years the question of pockets has come to be an important matter in women's garments. Wom en not only like pockets for carrying various small articles, but they can even like them so placed in their coats that they can walk with their hands in them, the same as a man. It's get ting so that we manufacturers hardly dare put out a garment without paying attention first of all to the pocket fea ture." Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Being fire-proof, threshermen are free from the risk on wood machines and insurance is unnecessary. We have had several machines go through fires, and after a new set of belts and a few repairs were put on, the machine was running again after only a day's delay. Ordinarily it would take sev eral days to replace a burned machine, which would mean a loss of a large part of the season's run. Thresh ing machinery is subject to more hard usage and ex- posurethan any other, which accounts for its usual rapid deterioration. But the CASE Steel Separator is weather and water-proof as well as fire-proof. The threshing season is fast approaching and the best thing that you could do now is to order a CASE Rig. It will save you money. Steam is the only reliable method for developing power for the heavy operations of agriculture, plowing and pulling stumps. One of the most important re quirements of traction and portable engines is a safe, strong boiler of suitable proportions, well made and thoroughly tested before leaving the factory. As a measure of safety we test each of our boilers first un der a cold water test of 200 pounds per square inch; second when .the completed engine comes from the erecting room it is kept under 130 pounds steam pres sure for several hours and worked on a Prony brake. Owing to the construction and these rigid tests there are no complaints from customers because of leaky boilers or defective engines. Write or call on me for catalogues and rates. E.
