THE REASON WHY

W. L. Wood Is Manager ot the Largest Enterprise of the Kind In Northern Indiana. The fair minded business man is the man who is prosperous and delights in seeing his neighbors prosperous, and the way to be prosperous is to work. If you get a dollar you have to earn it before you can know the value of it. This is the theory that we meet the public with in all our lines. We started in the busy world with our head and hands our only help—and as long as we can keep them working in the same direction we have no need for fear. We study our business—also the wants of our customers. We buy and sell buggies, harness, wagons, horses, farm implements and general merchandise and everything else at Parr, Ind., where we have plenty ot room to deal in any kind of merchandise or stock. Tuesday and Thursday of each week are our special sale days. We have just opened up a branch store in Rensselaer, where we carry a full line of buggies and harness. We visit all of the leading buggy and harness factories in the country one or more times each year and we know a good buggy and harness when we see it. Our Rensselaer store is under the management of Samuel J. Sines, a genteel, honest young business man, who will treat you right. You can find us at the Rensselaer store on Saturday of each week, where we will sell you anything you want. Come and see us. We are in a position to do you good. If you have the cash to pay we can save you money on any article you wish to purchase. If you want to buy on time we can take care of you. We don’t care how poor you are. If you are honest and will work we are glad to see you and sell you goods. Do as you, agree and we will do more. Judy & Wood, W. L. Wood, Mgr.

Myers, of the Sugar company, gave the Souvenir a pleasant call yesterday. He informs us that he will leave next week for Nebraska, where he goes to superintend the removal of a large colony of families who will locate at Shelby for the purpose of raising beets for. the factory. He thinks there are about 300 families, mostly Russians, who will come.— Lowell Souvenir. “I have been suffering from Dyspep sia for the past twenty years and have been unable after trying all preparations and physicians to get any relief. After taking one bottle of K6dol Dyspepsia Cure I found relief and am now in better health than I have been for twenty years. I can not praise Kodol Dyspepsia Cure too highly.” Thus writes Mrs. C. W. Ro erts, North Creek, Ark. A. F. Long. If people only knew what we know about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be used in nearly every household, as there are few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating, belching, flatulence, sour stomach or waterbrash, , caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the stomach, will digest your food, certainly can’t help but do you good. A. F. Long.

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. You hardly expect a loaned article to come back as good as it was when you loaned it. Some girls that cannot get married go into church work. Good opera glasses are frequently used to look at a rotten play. Jf we were a native of Kentucky, we would go upon the lecture platform and lecture on temperanep. A preacher who does not believe in Sunday mail, gets his mail as late as he can on Saturday night. If you take out a life insurance polcy, be sure to read the fine print. People coming from small towns are a good deal more sociable than those who have lived in larger towns. Some people have no business except among their own church members. Some men are funny at everything they attempt to do. If you want to bring rain, wear your patent leather shoes if you have any. , Some men are so peculiarly built that no odds how they dress, they do not look dressed up. Nobody is too trifling to shirk his duty, no matter how hard it may be to do it.

It sounds funny to hear a grown up man call his mother’s brotner Uncle John, but a girl is expected to say it. Every mean act a man does, comes home to roost. It is always better to ignpre most of the talk you hear. The old thing is, that so many men will lie when the truth would suit so much better. People who have the reputation of knowing more than they can tell us, make us very tired. Cowardice runs in familes as much as music or art or red hair. Big men seem apt to be very big cowards also. Whenever one woman refers to another as that “person” there is usually trouble brewing. There is one good thing about a known slanderer and that is he cannot slander you. Lots of fine houses are mortgaged to death. Cheap show people are most apt of al) to cuss a small town. A real fat man with a squeaky voice always makes us laugh.

Opals for Good Lock.

The opal is no longer considered of evil omen by those who are the best informed. It has become popular to believe that instead of ill luck the opal carries with it the best of luck and happiness in its highest form. Indeed, it is now considered the token of mutual love, burning brightly in all the colors of the rainbow. It is the gift of lover to sweetheart, the symbol of an eternal devotion, and of so devoted a character as to show itself in constant, fiery flashes of beautiful color. To emphasize this romantic idea the opal is now cut in the form of a heart, and the sentiment of a heart on Are with love is one which appeals to all lovers. This heart, when small enough, is set in a ring, but Australian opals have recently been imported of sufficient size to permit of their being used in a simple gold frame as a pendant for the longnette chain. These opal hearts are also used for the centers of brooches.

Senator Culbertson's Wit.

A witty speaker will enliven the proceedings of the senate when exGovernor Culbertson of Texas takes his seat. Not long ago, at a convention in the Lone Star state, ex-Senator Roger Q. Mills was the orator of the occasion. Mr. Mills is what is known as a strong speaker. Eloquence is not altogether in his line. Mr. Mills had spoken for nearly two hours in his accustomed vein when Mr. Culbertson and his nearest neighbor caught each other yawning. Hiding his face with his hand, the senator whispered into the other tired man’s ear: “I now know the meaning of Longfellow's immortal lines, “Though the mills of the gods grind slowly, they grind exceedingly small.”

Trained by the L. C. J.

The lord chief justice of England was once described by a great authority as “a sportsman in the custody of a lawyer.” His favorite pastimes have been kept in strait bounds, not by his profession alone, but also by his serious purpose as a politician. All the same, he had the other day a little luck in his diversion as a horse breeder, for a horse of his own training, the ownership of which was cloaked under a now de sport, was the victor in a respectable race. The event of this week has recalled the “superb groan” (no other groan has been so adjectived in all our literature) given by Lord George Bentinck when Disraeli told him that a horse he sacrificed to politics bad won the Derby.

His Sure Thing.

“Beatty got a ‘tip’ on the stock market last week, and came off with a nice little wad of money. You see he has a friend in a broker’s office who put him next. It was a sure thing, they told Beatty, and he risked $300.” “Well that’s the first case on record where anybody ever won on a sure thing, isn’t it?” “I guess so. Beatty wouldn’t have won either, only he sold short instead of buying as they told him to.”

BILL AND ME.

There was brother Bill and me, wv was both s* us A. B. In the fine bark Obediah at North Amenkey We was known by *ll the crew to love each other true. And we never told a story nor a naughty U*. not we. We was somewhere off the pole, where we’d gone to pick up coal. When Bill was took .sudden with a wery bod ecurvey; So he laid down on his side and wery quietly died. Baid the captain, "LeC s consign him to the bottom of the sea.” Then they sewed him in his berth, ami he mid goodby to earth When they took and hove him overside our gallant little bark; While 1 stood and piped my eye, the crew they For we saw him sliding wholesale down the mouth of a big shark. That was more nor 1 could stand, so, iwsung of my hand, I jumped and followed William into that hungry shark. But when I got inside I could ha’ mt and cried. For I hadn't got no matches, and the place was awful dark. So I cuts into Bill’s bed and his pockets tries instead, When he upe and gives a grumble and blames both my eyes; When I told him he was dead, be said he'd punch my bead, A-picking of his pockets and a-telling at him lies. I soon found be wasn’t dead, tut only frut instead, And the shark it thawed him quickly, tor soon he was quite well. Then a roaring fire we lit, and we roasted shark * bit. And that shark he got quite hungry, so delidous was the smell. When we couldn't eat no more, we thought we’d go ashore. So we goes and cuts a hatchway in the middle of its back. And a bridle then we geared, and then tbe eb.rk we steered Down south tor New York city in lees nor half a crack. Now, this may seem absurd, but, if you doubt my word. Why, go to New York city and ask Mr. Barnum there. For he bought that shark, did be, which any on* may see, And Bill and me is always known as such a truthful pair. —Pick Me Up.

A Conception.

“I think it would be a good plan to send Willie up into tbe country for a month,” suggested Willie's father. “He’s never been on a farm, and It would lie rather a novel experience for him.” “No, you don't,” interrupted Willie. “I’ve heard all about the country, and I’m not- going anywhere where they have thrashing machines. It’s bad enough when it’s done by hand.”— Chicago Post

A Squelcher.

“You are.” said the examining magistrate, “a writer of rhymes, I believe.” “Sir,” answered the long haired individual haughtily, “I am a poet; a poet sir, who will be remembered long after you are forgotten.” “Perhaps yop will,” was the sarcastic rejoinder. “I pay cash on delivery for everything I purchase.”— Chicago News.

A Hint.

Mr. Singleton—Miss Willing— er— Nellie —you don’t mind If I drop the “miss” and call you Nellie, do you? Miss Willing—No, Indeed! Only yesterday I remarked to mamma that I was getting awfully tired of being called “miss.”

Facilities.

“It’s rather pleasant in some respects to live in South or Central America/’ said the young woman. “Political conditions are rather uncertain.” “Yes. That’s the beauty of it. One doesn’t have to be so dependent on one’s ancestors in order to be a daughter of a revolution.”—Washington Star.
