JUST LIKE TAW."
There was an old geezer and he
had a lot of sense; he started up
a business on one dollar aud eighty
cents. The dollar for stock and
the eighty cents for an advertise
ment brought him three lovely dol.
lars in a day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and
a little more space. And he play
ed that system with a smile on his
face. The customers flocked to his
two-by-four, aud soon he had to
hustle for a. regular store. Up on
the square; where the people pass,
he gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass. He fixed up the win
dows with the best that he' had,
and he told 'em about it in a half
page ad. He soon had 'em coming
and he never, never quit, and he
wouldn't cut down on his ads one
siugle jit.
Well, he's kept things humping
in the town ever since and every
body's calling him the Merchant
Prince. Some say its luck, but
that's all bunk; why, he was doing
business when the time were punk.
People have to purchase, and this
geezer was wise, for he knew the
way to get 'em was to advertise.

It was in a Missouri town about
ten miles from a railroad. A cus
tomer of mine had frequently ask
ed me to accompany him home and
stay all night. This night Iliad
no good excuse for refusing, and
so accepted his invitation. ,
My customer was the big man of
the town, village blacksmith, pres
ide ft of the village council, justice
of the peace aud a licensed Metho
dist preacher.
He had a family composed of
eight girls, ranging in age from 18
to 30.
After a heavy supper, we sat in
the parlor. The old man monopo
lized the conversation, regaling me
with the history of his various ac
tivities during the past year. Told
me the number of horses he had
shod, the couples he had married,
the different lawsuits he had tried,
and ot her commonplace local items
until I was ready to die, I was so
sleepy.
At last he arose, turned around
and got down on his knees at his
chair. Thinkiug we were about to
have family prayers, I followed suit.
I saw that we were the only ones to
kneel, but I waited for the old man
to begin his prayers, but he failed
to call on me, so I' thought it was
to be a silent prayer.
Finally the old man got up un
ceremoniously, yawned loudly, and
remarked:
"Well, friend Felix, I guess I

ready, one of the girls will show

A little later one of the girls took
a candle and led the way to the
stairway. As I passed through the
door, I heard another of the girls
titter and say to another:
"He warms his back just like
paw does before he goes to bed."

When you yawn a good deal in
the day time, feel dull, achey and
want to stretch frequently, it is an
unmistakable symptom of malaria,
and unless you do something at
once you are booked for a spell of
chills. Herbine is a chill medicine
that will prevent or cure the dis
eaBe. It drives out the impurities
on which the malarial germ thrives,

' Catron. Ky. In an Interesting letter
from this place,1 Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, ana aunng
' this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
In my left side.
The doctor was called In, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle o!
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. 1
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows whai
it win do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.

The greater part of the meeting
will be devoted to the discussion
of agricultural subjects. This is
- o -
introductory, as explained by Mr.
Clement, to a series of agricultural
le'ssons to be offered the teachers
of the county through the teacher's
meetings. Ninety per cent of the
pupils of the rural schools will
make agriculture their life work,
and as mauy will depend solely for
their training on the rural school.
It is therefore imperative that they
receive some special instruction
along the line of their work.
The County Superintendent has
secured a supply of outlined les
Bons prepared especially for and
admirably, suited to the needs of
the rural schools. Theso will be
placed in the hands of teachers at
