A schoolma’am wears her hair all banged on her forehead. As pleasant as Maple Syrup.

Callow & Co. j Here is the kind of an obituary that a Georgia editor puts up for a man: “Poor Jim Brown slung his earthly garments on a limb and swam the river yesterday. He didn't stand back because the water was cold, but plunged right in, rose smiling, struck out for the other shore where the angels were waiting for him with a finer suit of clothes than poor Jim ever wore in this life. Jim was a poor man but had the subscription to his home paper all paid up and he got there all right.', Lagrippe successfully treated. “I have just recovered from the second attack of lagrippe this year," says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia. Texas. “In the latter easel usedChamlierlain’s Cough Remedy, and I think with considerable success, only lieing in bed a little over two days against ten days for the former attack. The second attack I am satisfied would have lieen equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy as I had to go to lied in about six hours after being .struck' with it, while in the first case I was able to attAid to business about two days before getting ‘down.’ " Forsale by Holthouse. Callow <fc Co. j A young Blufftonite was asked to prepare an essay on the subject of "Mouth’’ and here is what he wrote: "The mouth is the front door of the face; it is the aperture to the cold storage of your anatom v. The mouth isjthe hotlied for toothache and a bunghole of oratory: the mouth is the crimson isle to the liver; it is the fountain of patriotism and the tool chest for pie. Without the mouth the politician would be a wanderer on the face of the earth and go down to an unhonored grave.”

Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

May hiscar of lifealways be a palace, safe ever on the guide rails, smooth as though roses were the bellast. and happy as if there were no such things in the world as competitive rates. He now has a mon poly; may he never lose his high appreciation of that blessed privilege." A parent wrote to an editor for instructions how to stop his boy from smoking cigarettes, and received the following reply: “We suggest bribery, pursuation, instruction, or shutting off his allowance; then if he remains obstinate, use a rawhide on his raw hide. Welt him until he is ready to hold up his hands and promise to never smoke another cigarette. If that does not work, drown him. A drowned boy is better than a boy who smokes cigarettes.” Today the first ballot for the election of a United States senator to represent Indiana, will be taken in the two houses of the legislature and much interest is manifested over the outcome.
