Advertise in the Farmer because ecause . ;ecause because Fatal Acoident. Wind and a drenching rain were do ing their worst to make the lives of home going New 1 Yorkers miserable When the .conductor of an uptown car Joined forces , with nature and an nounced that everybody would hare to take the car ahead or the car behind because that car wasn't going any farther. Protests rather more numer ous and violent than common greeted that announcement. . "Can't be helped," said the conduc tor stolidly. "This car Is all out of fix. It ain't fit to travel." 80, according to their custom when ordered to do a thing, the New York crowd did it, but one of the number continued to ponder on the disability of the abandoned car. No fuse had blown out, and it had ran with only the ordinary noise and friction. Pres ently he said to the new conductor: "What was the matter with that car we were hustled out of back there? What was broken about It?" . "The cash, register," said the man. "They couldn't ring up any mote fares." New York Times. Woman's Love of Ugly Men. The .Illustrious men in history who were distinguished as much for the fascination which they exercised over the fair sex as for their talents and ability were, as a rule, plain and ln slnincant in appearance. . Julius Caesar was a very ill favored man, and yet when a mere stripling, before his fame in Rome, girls of his own age sighed for him and mature women longed for his love. Among the men of later times who were renowned In like manner were Sir Philip Sidney, plain almost to ugliness; Paul Searron, the comic poet, a cripple; Voltaire, unmistakably ugly, and Rousseau, whose, manners were awkward as his face was plain, while John Wilkes, who had the power to subjugate any woman who spoke to him for even five minutes, was admit ted by his own showing to be the ug liest man in England in his time. Rattled. Mammy Lou was visiting Lucindy. The latter lifted a boiling pot off the stove, set it in the tireless cooker, cov ered It closely and pushed It under the table. "What's yuh a-goin f do wid dat pot?" "I's a-goin' to cook dem beans in de tireless cooker." Mammy rose, a scared, bunted look on her wrinkled face. "Does yuh mean t' tell me yuli a-goin' f bile dem beans widout flahr' Lucindy nodded. Mammy backed to the door and looked at the girl aa at an apparition, then, with defiance mingled with fear, commanded: ,4Put on yonr bonnet! .Ton sure Is JSoodooejJI Tou Of Course, Your Wife and Family Will Like The WISSNER Best But There Are Other GOOD Reasons, Too, Why You Should Buy A you are buying the Highest Grade Piano or Player Piano at a lower price than a dealer can sell you a medium grade for You" are assured from the very beginning that you have the very best wearing as well as the most artisic instrument which it is possible to possess. you are dealing direct with the factory, thereby eliminating all dealers' and agents' profits or commissions.

A Judge once awoke In the night to find his room fh the possession of two armed burglars. Covered by the pistol of one of the marauders, the Judge watched the proceedings with his usual Judicial calm. One of the depredators found a watch. "Don't take that," the Judge said. "It has little value and is a keepsake." "The motion is over ruled," replied the burglar. "I appeal," rejoined the Judge. The two burglar consulted, and the spokesman then re plied: "The appeal Is allowed. The case coming on before a full tribunal of the supreme court, that body Is of L the unanimous opinion that the decree of the lower court should be sustained, and it Is accordingly so ordered." Pock eting the watch, court adjourned. A Tearful Monkey.
