The Spice of Life

"Uncle Jimmie” was a man .who had ;a reputation for "tightness” ;in business affairs, ■ which clung to him the entire eighty odd years at :his exist<anse. When he was stricken with what .proved to be his last Illness a neigh•bor came to see him who had '.heard he was near unto death. The family were gathered about the the room in various stages of grief—he had not been an overly kind husband and father—and the sick man lay on Ms bed with closed eyes and labored breathing. “See if he knows you,” said the 'Wife tearfully to the neighbor, who tiptoed to ’the side of the bed and leaned over the occupant. “Uncle Jimmie, do you know sne?” asked the neighbor gently. A .deep silence hung over the room. Finally ‘iUncle Jimmie” slowly opened his eyes and fixed them Intently on the questioner. “Know you?” he echoed feebly. “I reckon 1 do:! Where’s that gallon «of vinegar yon owe me?” The neighbor had to acknowledge the recognition was complete.—H. C. Wood In Lippincott’s Magazine.

An a Fog:. A befogged individual was groping his way down one of London’s side streets leading off the Strand when he suddenly bumped up against another man coining from the opposite direction. “Could you tell me where this street leads to?” he inquired, after the necessary apologies had been made. “Certainly,” replied the other; “it leads Into the river. I have just come out of It.” Punishment After Death. Man (who has fallen into a pond while trespassing)—Help! Help! I can’t swim. Irish Owner of Property—Come out av that, yez villain! Man (chokingly)—He-help me out! I’m dro—drowning! Irish Owner of Property (not moving)—lf ye* dare to get drowned in me pond, yez dirty scoundrll, Oi’ll have yez locked up. Gave liim an Idea. “Well, of ail things!" exclaimed Mrs. Henry Peck; "that paper tells of a man who was declared insane, and his wife got a divorce, and now he gets the courts to declare him sane again! Now, what do you —” But Mr. Peck was out of the room and walking swiftly through the hall, murmuring: “I wonder where they give short-time rates on padded cells.” Not Altogether Wrong. Teacher —What state is south of Indiana? Smart Boy—Kentucky. Teacher —What state is north of Kentucky? Smart Boy—lndiana. Teacher —What is there between the two states? Smart Boy—Some bad feelin’s an’ things.—lndianapolis News. Casey’* Idea of the Monument. “Did yez show Casey, the contractor, the Wash’n’tn monnymint?” asked Mr. Rafferty. “I did,’ ’answered Mr. Dolan; “an’ he wor deeply imprissed.” “What dild he say?” “He said it wor the tallest onestory buildin’ he ivver saw!” Y - -■ i The Other Views. “It seems to me,” said the lady with a severe glance, “that the newspapers print some dreadful things.” “Yes,” answered the reporter, “it often makes me sad to think that people insist on doing shocking things and compelling us to write about them.” Chief Life Insurance. Casey—Costigan got his life insured for a quarter. Conroy—How wuz that? Casey—He borrowed a quarter uv th’ foreman, and the foreman won’t put him on a dangerous job as long as he ow6s him the money.

WUe Will ®.

Caller—Your sister expects me to stay to supper, doesn’t she, Willie? Willie—Sure; and she said if you stayed as long as you did last night she thought she would ask you to stay to breakfast.

Conacien t lona. “Yes,” said Mr. Cumrox, always attend the grand opera.” “What for?” asked the man who knows nothing but business. “Out of a strict regard for the

■truth. My daughters want to be able to say they have heard all the grea; sjngers, and I think that their conscientious devotion to avoiding a fib on the subject is very much tto their • credit.”

Blessing of » Lars« Family. ".Don’t you think a holiday is more cheerful when there is a large family -gathered about the festive board ?” ‘T do," answered the sardonic person. “A large family is a glad assurance that there is not going to be enough turkey left over to supply the .menn .'for the next three days.”

Dad a Good Season*

“This makes the fifth time you've asked me for a dance. Why don’t you dance with some of the other girls?” “Well, you see, I dance so badly I hate to ask them.” . i Her Opinion. Mrs. Gooding—Mr. Crankard is the best man in the world, if what his wife says is true. She declares that he never tried to deceive her in the slightest. Mrs. Smartset —Dear me! What a man he must be to live with! He must be either a terrible liar or a great ninny. Method In His Kindness. Heartleigh—Mr. Hackett has bought his wife an automobile. He’s what you may call an indulgent husband. Burt—lndulgent fiddlesticks. He knows the things are dangerous. AV 1111 nsc to Spend Money.

"No. I live at a boarding house, you know.” —Philadelphia Bulletin. “They say he makes little more than a bare living for himself.” “No wonder. Look at the clothes his wife has.” —Philadelphia Bulletin. “I think Eve was to be pitied.” "So do I. Why, there was no other women whose clothes she could criticise.” —Philadelphia Bulletin. Mamma (at the breakfast table) — You always ought to use your napkin, Georgie. Georgie—l am usin’ it, mamma. I’ve got the dog tied to the leg of the table with it. —Motherhood, Tess —That beggar woman’s a fraud. What did she ask you for? Jess —She said she wanted a few pennies to get a chocolate ice cream soda and some lobster salad. —Philadelphia Press.

"In your vermiform appendix,” the surgebn told him after the operation was over, “we found, strange to say, a small brass tack.” “That proves I was right,” feebly answered the sick man, "when I said It was something I had eaten in mince pie.”—Chicago RecordHerald.

WHAT SETTLERS IN SASKATCHEWAN VALLEY HAVE TO SAY.

IWBMTIf iMU the {Jolted -States. JRosthern, July Bth, 1900. Frank Pedley, Esq., / Superintendent of Immigration. Sir:—We, the undersigned settlers in Saskatchewan, Township 43, Range 6, beg to submit the following letter. We came from Springfield, Bonhomme County, S. Dakota, in the spring of 1899, and settled where are now reside. We had considerable crop last year we put in on new breaking, and it was very good, and this year, 1900, our crop is excellent. Our wheat will yield about twenty bushels to the acre, the oats and harley are also very good, and our potatoes and root crop all that could be desired. We consider this a fine country and are glad we came, as our prospects could not be better. A poor man will get a start in this country much quicker than in Dakota. , We are, yours respectfully, John H. Schultz, H. A. Goshen, S. Gors, B. H. Dirks, C. D. Unry, P. Unry, and A. Ratzlief. All from South Dakota, U. S. A.

LORE OF WEDDING RINGS

Typify Eternity and Indicate Stability of Union of Persons. Attached to the use of the ring in wedding and other ceremonies from the earliest times there have been mystic meanings. Whether the plain band or the motto-inscribed article which the changing times brought into fashion, the ring has retained its significance attached to it as a sacred emblem or an emblem typifying sacred .ceremonies. To the devoutly religious .or the careless scoffer at religion the little circlet has Us charm. Solemn betrothal by means of the ring ©ften preceded matrimony in the the middle ages and was sometimes adopted between lovers who were about to separate for long periods. Shakespeare has more than once alluded to the custom, which is absolutely enacted in his “Two Gentlemen of Verona,” where Julia gives Porteus a ring, saying: “Keep you this remembrance for thy Julia’s sake,” and he replies: “Why, then, we’ll make exchange. Here, take you this.” The fourth finger of the left hand has from long usage been consecrated to the wedding ring, from an ancient belief that from this finger a nerve .went to the heart. —Chicago Chronicle.

These are Plain Words.

Marshfield, Mo., Jan. 20tli. —Mr. J. F. King of this place makes the following statement: “I have suffered untold agony for twenty years with Lame Back and Acute Kidney Disease, and in that time have never been two days together clear of misery, and for some of the time I could not walk a step or even sit up. “Last spring, after trying many doctors and every remedy that could be thought of, I began a treatment of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The good results were almost immediate ami for the last seven months I have seen more comfort and pleasure than I have for twenty years before. “Any one with Kidney Disease or Lame Back that will not try Dodd's Kidney Pills deserves to suffer.”

Non-Coinmital Platt.

Senator Platt of New York is the most noncommittal man in the upper house of congress. He never makes a statement without qualifying it. George Gorham, the former secretary of the senate, met the senior senator from New York in the committee room occupied by the latter the other day. Greetings were excharfged, “Well, senator, how are you to-day?” said Mr. Gorham, “I am not as strong as a horse, but I am not as weak as a cat,” was the reply.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only cue way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.

He lives in an ancient palace, which was completely restored about fifty years ago and is one of the show places which tourists visit. The count is a dilettante, fond of the arts and sciences and very pub-lic-spirited in connection with Venetian affairs.

In Massachusetts the most common talismans are the claw of a crab and the left hind claw from a crow’s foot.

Raising Church Funds.

The Primitive Methodist church of the United States has decided that hereafter all fairs, bazaars, festivals and other money-making social diversions for raising funds for church purposes be dispensed with and the tithing system of collections prevail.

../T THE CHILDREN ENJOY *sfj Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyi-» -Viv. ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their .

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is '// given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs C K j// on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its h :> A /ff component parts are known toJ>e wholesome and the remedy itself free from fv. - foj' ' Ift every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, A Atr' ' ill well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, >•,./C* Va because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. - i -y ■ V. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the SfLngS system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results iis sys ■: ; from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against i ■.£ .
