Luck is an ignisfatuus. You may it to ruin, but not to success. The great Napoleon, who believed in Irs destiny, followed it until he saw his star go down in the blackest night when the old guard perished around him, and Waterloo was lost. A pound of pluck is worth a ton ot luck. Young men talk of trusting to the spur of the occasion. That trust is vain. Occasion cannot make spurs. If you expect to make spurs, you must win them. If you wish to use them, you must buckle them to your own heels before you get into tho fitiht. Any success you may achieve is not worth the hav ing unless you fight for it. What ever you win in life you must con quer by your own effort, and then it is yours a prrt of yourself. In giving you being, God locked up in your nature certain forces and capabilities. What wil1 you do with them? Look at the mechanism of a clock. Takp off the pendulum and ratchet, and tho wheels go rat tling down, and all its force is ex ponded in a moment; but properly balanced and re gulated, it will go on, letting out its force tick by tick, measuring hours and days, and do ing faithfully the. service for which it was designed. I implore you to cherish and gur rd and use well the forces God has given you. You may let them run down in a year, if you will. Take oil the strong curd of discipline and morality, and you will be an old man before your twenties are passed. Preserve those forces. Do not b'ini them out with brandy, or wwte t'leni in idleness and crime. D ) not destroy them. Save and protect them, that t!iey may save for yo'i fortune and fame. Honestly rtsolve to do this and you will be an honor to yourself and country. James A. Garfield. Sutton Utterback informed the Enterprise that a great many thought that he made a mistake when he tented the farm known as the Henry Utterback farm of 1G0 acres for $350. This farm was sold to I. A. Barr, of near Holt. Mo., and Sutton received $100 as a commis sion in assisting in making the deal. He has raised 2000 bushels of corn on the place. Also G9 hogs that average 150-lbs., worth some thing like $12 each $828. Figur ing his corn at 50c per bushel and the other items he has made $1928 on the farm. Besides Mr. Barr has paid him $150 for possession of the farm.

Resemble Present Day Bowls. Pottery, curiously enough, is the most indestructible evidence of an cient civilization. Pottery can be smashed to fragments, but is never destroyed short of grinding it into dust. The series of pottery fragments shows the stages of de velopment of the art in the very cradle of civilization. One shallow bowl, made by one of the skin-chaffed borebears of of modern Europeans, is not unlike the bowl from which one eats break fast food, so far as shape goes, though in texture it is more like a kitchen crock than anything else. Some of the pottery still shows the paint used in decoration. The vegetable colors used, unlike our modern coal tar dies, hold their color well, despite nenrlv t'M'ty centuries. Some bits of puttiy from Corinth are arranged in chro nological order, showing hov th"j art of burning pottery t preserve, the colors was developed in ancient Greece. Homely Hints. When baking lamb, use very cold instead of hot water. The grse will then come to the top, whon it may be easily skimmed off with a spoon. To prevent cake from falling, jar ppn slightly on the table juct befc.e putting into the oven. This' causes the air bubbles to come co tho sur face, and the cake is not soapt to fall. When baking buns or b''jcuit. dip each one into milk, just before tnif; ting in the oven. The crust"will be a beautiful brown and will be nice and crisp. j After potatoes, tn.at ore to be ; baked, have been washed fr.d wip ed dry, rub each one we'l v. i' h incit ed butter or lard, before putting in the oven. This makes the peelings crisp and tender. To rid house of rats, take a little unslaked lime, wtt with strong lye of potash, and sprinkle about the rat holes. Should the mixture be come dry, wet again, so as to keep soft. It burns the feet of the ro dents, and the odor is disagreeable to them. How She Knew. Mrs. Shopper: "How do you like my new Oriental rug?" Mrs. Hopper (scanning the rug critically): "Are you 6ure it is Oriental?" Mrs. Shopper: "Sure! Why. I stood by just as it was being finish ed by a Turk, or an Armenian, or a Persian I don't know which."

We make a specialty of high-class printing of all kinds, including the following: Letter Heads, Bill Heads, Booklets, Catalogues, Envelopes, Profanity. Profanity is Biblical language with a reverse gear, and is used to back the owner out of the straight and narrow path. Profanity is convenient in many ways. Incase of anger it is sup posed to prevent the peeved person from blowing out through the seams After a man has emitted about ten cubic feet of high tension profanity his pounded thumb feels better and he no longer desires to throw the hammer through a $10 window pane, says George Fitch. Profanity is also used industri ously by steamboat mates and au tomobile owners. It is next fo im possible to operate a steamboat without a full head of profanity. In tne case of the automobile, pro fanity does the machine no good but enables the owner to endure the sport. Pilots of large-eared and patient mules use swear word3 as a sort of self-starter. A mule who will allow a fire to be built underneath underneath him without taking any interest in it, will wake up and walk off all by himself after his owner has pelted him with a bushel of polygonal swear words. Profanity is also used by poor Vi ki I N Kind that Pleases ADVERTISE IN lOCRA An Excellent Advertising talkers to fill in blanks in their con versation when their brains are missing fire. By the aid of profan ity, a man with one candle power brain can talk steadiiy for a long time slipping in one cuss word to two ordinary words and thus mak ing his supply last longer. Profanity is mostly descriptive and is very vivid. Some of it is such accurate description that after a man has finished using it. the air smells like an old-fashion ed eight-day match. Profanity is also very irritating to the hearer. After a man has listened to a few minutes of profanity produced by another man, he often takes pro ducer by the neck and cleans off half a block of side-walk with him. It takes a very intelligent man to start a quarrel without the aid of pro- fanity.but with its help anyone can cook up a fight in three minntes. Profanity is not refined, and is regarded with horror by the best people, except when it is heard on stage. If the hired girl were to say "damn" in the average family, she would be fired forthwith, but this word is always greeted with great applause in a play and is a great boon to the weary author, who would otherwise have to think np N 0 Note Heads, Statements, Folders, Invitations, Etc,, Etc. THE T Medium. , something original at that point Profanity is not a hard art to ac quire. It can be learned in the home with the aid of a telephone or a weakchested furnace in a very few lessons. Hannibal Journal Talk about snake stories. W. A. McCreery southwest of Perry, tells a corker. One Sunday afternoon recently he killed 33 snakes mostly blue racers from 2 1-2 ieet to 4 feet in length. One of hischildren noticed some snakes near an old abandoned coal mine, and he pre ceeded to kill them, and while at the job snakes made for their holes from every direction. He slew them until Jie was tired, and when the battle was over 33 big snakes were lying around. This is a true snake story, as Mr. Mc. is a truth ful man. Perry Enterprise, A Helpful Thought. There are times when our dis appointments prove to be our true appointments. In the midst of our regrets we suddenly chance to see things from a different point of view. What we at first considered failure we now see as opportunity, that a fog of misconception had veiled temporarily from our sight. J We hope anew, make another effort and achieve.
