Classified advertising in the columns of The Democrat are an Investment and not an experiment, as hundreds of satisfied advertisers will gladly acknowledge. Why not try them yourself If you have anything to sell, exchange, rent, lost or found? It will pay you.

Congressman Peterson has notified The Democrat that he has received his allotment of the government “free seed graft,” used by our congressmen for electioneering purposes, and that application should be made direct to him. It is humiliating indeed to note that our democratic members of congress have nearly all linefi up in favor of continuing this iniquituous seed graft, one of the worst of the many impositions put upon the people of the country. A big pile of money could be saved each year by obliterating this graft, but our democratic lawmakers show little inclination toward economy, we are sorry to say.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Blackie’s Smart Trick. Gladys sat holding Gray Paws, one of her kitties, in her lap. But presently her thoughts were recalled by a soft rubbing against her arm. She looked around, and there was Blackie, Gray Paws’ brother, evidently trying his best to attract her attention. He rubbed against her and put his nose under her arm. But somehow Gladys seemed to think that her lap was full enough just then, although she was often known to hold live kittens at once, us Blackie was well aware. At last Blackie. seemed to conclude that there was no room for him at present, and he was perhaps jealous of Gray Paws It really seemed as if he must have thought the matter over carefully and made deliberate plans, for this is what he did: Blackie suddenly sprang down beside the dish used for food and began to eat, or pretend to. with the greatest relish, occasionally looking at Gray Paws, as if afraid he would come and take a part of the feast. This, of course, was too much for Gray Paws to resist, and in a moment he had jumped from Gladys’ lap and run to the side of the dish. Quick as a thought Blackie turned away, ran up the steps and jumped into Gladys’ lap, where he curled dowu in a ball atid began to purr. There was not one thing in the dish! “You naughty, funny little cat!” exclaimed Gladys, and she could not help cuddling the little rogue nor laughing at his trick, while Gray Paws walked slowly away.—Youth’s Companion. To Make a Diving Fish. Are you fond of making your own toys? If so, here is an interesting one for you to work on.

Prepare a little bag, with two red hauuel flaps. In the shape of the body and tail of a fish. Weight this with shot and place one-half of the egg lu the opening, the small hole in front of the egg being bidden in the bag. Fasten the edges of the sack to the egg by means of red sealing wax, and, 10, a fish is formed—a fish that can swim and dive in it jar of water! The jar must be closed bv a thin rubber cap. and if you press this lap with youi hand, the water (the jar must be Ijd1 1 will force its way up l ire empty shell, and by increasing or do creasing tjie pressure with your hand \ou can make it appear as though the lisli were obeying your command to swim up or down or to lie quiet.
