AGAINST THE ORGANIZATION.

The farmers are not taking kindly to the “threshers trust,” as they characterize the organization of threshermen in this county. There are a few threshers in the county who have not joined the organization, and these, it is claimed, are contracting to thresh at the old price. A meeting of farmers was held at Saylorville schoolhouse one night recently and quite a good deal of threshing previously promised to others is alleged to have been transferred to one of the threshers outside the ’•trust.”

Bronchitis For Twenty Years.

Mrs. Minerva Smith, of Danville, 111., writes: ”1 had bronchitis for twenty years and never got relief until I used Foley’s Honey and Tar which is a sure cure.” A. F. Long.

Miles and Brooke.

Should the forced retirement of General Nelson A. Miles from the command of the army, as has been talked about, be made a certainty, his successor would naturally be Major General Brooke, now stationed at Governors island and the senior officer of his rank. The situation recalls that of 1879, when both officers named then ranked as colonels, Brooke receiving his colonel’s commission in that year. A friend of the then Colonel Brooke, complimenting him on his promotion, added, “I can see the star of a general very close to you.” “Not so very close,” responded Brooke, “for I can see Miles between me and that star.” New York Times.

Deserves a Pension.

The Italians are discussing the advisability of pensioning Mrs. Maddalena Granatta, a woman of fiftyseven, who lives near Nocera, twelve miles from Naples. Iler husband has been dead ten years, but during the nineteen years they lived together as man and wife they had sixty-two children born to them, fifty-nine of the lot being males. Eleven different times in nine years triplets were born, and on three different ocasions four boys were announced, and once there were four boys and a girl.

The Work of Old Boys.

Lord Kelvin is seventy-eight years of age. Under a rule recently adopted by a western railway company he couldn’t get a job in its service because he is, over thirtyfive. Yet he can oitwork today three-quarters of the youngsters, to say nothing of his value as a thinker. The greatest work of our time is being done by men over sixty and much of it by men more than threescore years and ten. Rochester Democrat. Hla Commlaalon. When Coronet Joyce, one of Cromwell’s men, went to Holmby to remove King Charles I. to safer (patters, there being a plot among Presbyterians to kidnap him, he took along 500 troopers. When Charles stejmed out of his house, he was confronted by this considerable force. The king at once asked whether Joyce had any commission for what he was doing. “Here,” replied Joyce, turning in his saddle as he spoke and pointing to the soldiers he headed, “is my commission. It is behind me.” “It is a fair commission,” replied King Charbs, “and as well written as I have seen a commission in my life.”

WOES OF AUTO., LOVEMAKING.

Ob she was the belle of her toney set, a winsome and ravishing young brunette, with a pair of eyes that could read your thoughts and tie your affections all into knots. There wasn’t a fellow on a Big Bug-st. but had laid his heart at her shapely feet, and she kept them guessing, those hearts a-thump. But one there was, he a scheming chap, and he set for his game an enticing trap in the shape of an auto., a rig sans horse that skimmed o’er the ground by electric force, and his rivals were wallowing in dismay when they saw the couple one balmy day spin forth like a streak for a country ride, on herfacesa picture of new-born pride an-d his rivals muttered in worst of moods: "Our name is Dennis! He’s got the goods!” And on o'er the country roads they went In high-grade rapture spinning Both in a dream of sw'eet content Spasmodically grinning. They talked of this and thev talked of that, she through her bonnet, he through his hat, he whispered lies of the genus white she swallowing them in their new delight. Upon the lever her hand he placed to guide the auto., and rourd her waist his arm like a noiseless serpent crawled and closer to him tier form he hauled. He breathed in her ears the usual words that lovers toss to she dickey birds, and she responded in tones so sweet each sugared sentence seemed good to eat. He'd won the prize, and his soul was tilled with joy till the foam o’er the edges spilled, and she was happy to think she'd caught a handsome fellow who owned an aut.; and the jaybirds chattered and rustic crows bawled hoarse hooraws to their fresh-sealed vows. And on thev sped of their sense bereft, So tightly d d Cupid bind' em. That ere they knew it the town was left Some seventeen miles behind them. Then the clouds came up and the rain came down and sprinkled its tears on her new spring gown, then changed from a drizzle to falling flood, and the road was a channel of slush and mud, and the auto, stopped in rebellious mood—like a balky mule in the roadway stood. And there they sat in that worst of storms with no umbrella to shield their forms, and they got as soaked on their auto, perch as a new convert in the baptist church, and their love was chilled by the rainy slush till it grew impassive as cold fried mush. Twas fully two miles to a railway town, and with sorrowing features he helped her down atid off they trudged through the muddy lane in the pitiless pour of the blawsted ram. her eyes all chafed with the tears she shed, her lips calcined with the things he said, and they learned at the station with souls agast that the last dumrned tfrain for the day had passed.

And her rivals chattered with merry lip, And approached her with new ei deavor, For the language used on that soggy trip Queered him with her forever. —Denver Post.

Headache kills, not necessarily suddenly, but SURELY. It preys upon the intellectual powers more than we realize. It consumes the vitality faster than nature can replenish it, and we cannot tell just what moment a temporary or complete aberration of the mind will result. Headache and pain should be promptly removed — but properly. Many pain cures are more harmful than the pain. Beware. If you would be safe, take M?lea* Pain Pills. “As a result of neuralgia I lost the sight of my right eye, and the pain I have suffered is incomprehensible, being obliged to take opiates almost continually. A friend gave me one of Dr. Miles’Pain Pills and it promptly relieved me. I then purchased a box and now my trouble is gone. They have also cured my daughter of nervous headache, and I heartily recommend them to others.”—W. J. Corley. Bremond, Texas. Sold by Druggist*. 25 Doses, 25c. Dr. Mila* Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind.
