PLATTSMOUTH It has been learned that some time since a Platts mouth girl told a young man who had asked her for her hand that she could not think of marrying a man with less than $10,000. The young man went to Omaha and worked hard for a few years. Then he returned and called on the young woman, who greeted him with: "Well. John, how are you get ting along?" "Pretty well." he re plied. "I have almost saved $19 to wards the $10,000." "Well, John," she said. "I guess we can get along with that" FARMER WAS TOO SHARP FORTHE SHARPERS PLATTSMOUTH Three strangers drove to the home of a wealthy farmer in Mount Pleasant precinct, in this county, and one asked of the farmer many questions concerning the num ber of his family and their ages, his crops, the number of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep and agricultural imple ments he owned. They informed him that they were taking the census for the government. The shrewd old farmer noticed that there were two sheets of paper, one under the other on which one had written down the answers to the questions, and he could not quite understand why it should re quire three men to do the work of one. so he became fully convinced that they were trying to "work" him. and would not sign the paper as requested. The strangers then took their de parture. The farmer, who declined to allow his name to appear in print, learned that the strangers did not visit any other farmers in that neighborhood.

FACIAL PARALYSIS Nervous Distortion of Face Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. What appears to be a slight nervous attack may be toe forerunner of a severe disorder. No nervous snfferer should neglect the warning symptoms, but should see that the starved nerves are nourished before the iu jury to the deli cate organism has gone to an extent that renders u cure a difficult matter. The nerves receive their nourishment through the blood, the same as every other part of the body, and the best nerve touie and food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The experience of Mr. Harry Beniis, of Trnthvule, Washington county, .!., substantiates this. "I had been feeling badly for a long time," said Mr. Beniis, "and iu the early part of September, 1902, 1 wnscom pellod to quit work ou account of my ill health. My trouble was at first ex treme nervousness, then my sight Ikj caine affected and I consulted an oculist who said I was suffering from jKiralysis. He treated me for some time, but i got no benefit. I tried nnother doctor und again failed to obniu any relief. My nervousness increased. Slight noises would almost make me wild. My month was drawn so I could scarcely cat and one eje was affected so I could hardly see. I had very little use of my limbs, in fact I was almost a complete wreck. " I am all right now and am at work. That is because I followed my wife's nd ice aud took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She had used the same remedy herself with the most gratifying result's and she persuaded me to try them when it np- E eared that the doctors were unable to elp me. They acted very surely in my case; my face came back into shape and iu time I was entirely well."

An Irish clergyman is credited with having conducted a powerful oration in this fashion: "My brethren, let not this world rob you of a peace which it can neither give nor take away."

Seagulls. Rob Fishermen. Seagulls invaded a boatful of her rnig at Nanaimo, Wash., while the fishermen were away. When the fish ermen returned sixty bad eaten so much that they could not fly away.

Because a revolver which he had ' purchased to kill himself missed fire, j Paul Schlardum of San Bernardino., brought suit against the hardware company for the price of the weapon. ' Not long ago a dinner was given by a novelist in London, at which all the butter on the great table was in miniature busts of noted authors. Every housekeeper should know that If they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for ladndry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 1G oz. one full pouud while all other Cold Water Starches are put p in 34-pound packages, and the price l is the same. 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoy ance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Tho:-e Who Have Tried It will use no other. Defiance Cold Water Starch has no equal in Quantity or Quality 16 oz. for 10 cents. Other brands contain only 12 oz. The Spring Wheat Areas Are Rapidly Increasing. It is only a few short years since the impression prevailed that a large portion of the Canadian West was un fitted for agriculture. To such an extent did this . impression prevail that districts larger than European principalities were devoted solely to ranching purposes, and flocks ind herds roamed the ranges. But the agriculturist was doing some hard thinking, and gradually experiments were made, slowly at first, but sure ly later on. As a result, to-day in Southern Alberta, which was looked upon as the "arid belt," large quanti ties of the finest winter wheat in the world are now grown, and so satis fied are the farmers and buyers that the industry has passed the experi mental stage that elevators by the score have been erected in the past two years and others in course of erection, to satisfy the demands that will be made upon them in the near future. Manitoba, "No. 1, Hard" spring wheat has achieved a world-wide reputation, and there can be no ques tion that ere long "No. 1 Hard" win ter wheat from Alberta will attain similar repute. The great market for this production will undoubtedly be the Orient, and, with increased rail way facilities and the erection of ad ditional elevators and flouring mills, a largely increased acreage will be broken to winter wheat. The increase of population in Southern Alberta in the past year has been largely due to settlers from the United States who have brought In capital and en terprise, and who have been uniform ly successful in their undertakings. A few more such years of growth and "Turkey Red"" winter wheat will wave from Moose Jaw to the foothills. Information regarding lands in the Fall and Spring wheat belts may be obtained of any Canadian Government Agent. Only a brave man would marry a woman who isn't afraid of a mouse.
