Found Echo In the Minds ol
Others in the Audience.
A politician was making a speecli

Naturally, he was telling of all
the accomplishments of his admin
istration. And always after he had mid
one lie turned inward his wife,
wlm was in the audience, and said:
"My wile will bear me out in
whai I have just tnld."
Over and over he repeated his
railn r loiiji drawn-out boasis, de
spin Ins yawning audience, al
ways bringing the lady in at the
tiiiiii.
Bui at last he stopped.
llieu an irrepressible higll
scliool youngster turned to his
companion and said in in lone loud
enough 10 be heard by those in his
vicinity.
"I'm so lired thai I wish his wife
had borne him out the rirsi time he
suggested ii."
S I CP BY STEP.
"Is Mr. Hansen courting you,
Alice?" her chum Doris asked her
one day.
"Not exactly yet," admitted
Alice. "But he is approaching
step by step."
"What do you mean?"
"Well when he first called he
sat all the evening with a postcard
album in his lap,"
"Yes,"
"Next time he sat with my poo
dle in his lap."
"Well?"
"Last night he took my little
brother on his knee. So, you see
I hope it will soon be my turn."
CITED FOR VALOR.
The swain and swainess had
just encountered a bulldog who
looked as if he might shake a mean
lower jaw.
"Why, Percy," she exclaimed
as she started a strategic retreat.
"You always swore you would
face death for me."
"I would," he Hung back over
his shoulder, 'but that darn dog
ain't dead."

Buttermilk Starting Feed
Conkey'a la different the buttermilk is incor
by a ipeciil Conkey Frocesi. No dried buttermilk is ever used in Cunkey'i.
Conkey's ii low in fibre and just right in protein. Too much fibre injures and too
much protein overtaxes. We have made a physiological study of the little chick for
years, and in Conkey's Buttermilk Starting Feed we have perfected the one really suc
cessful feed for little chicks from 48 hours to 8 weeks of age.
Conkey's alius puts an edge to the appetite, while the lactic acid haa a tonic effect
helping to prevent White Diarrhea. (38)
Try It and You'll Never be Without It
Conkey's Is used in enormous quantities by successful poultrymen all over the country,
and recommended in highest terms. Below are extracts from letters recently received:
O. It. Mornan. Red Cherrv Poultry
Farm, Greensboro. North Carolina, wrote:
"Had better results with Conkey's than
with any other feed. My chicks grew
faster and I never had a sick chick aa
long as i used it.

After using Conkey's Buttermilk Starting
Feed for the last three years exclusively,
we have found it tc be the best chick feed
on the market. We sell between 40,00

DREAMS.
If dreams were sold in the market place, i
What kind of a dream would you buy?
The maiden answered with glowing face,
And the love-light in her eye,
"I would buy a dream of a gallant ship
Coming dancing over the foam;
Of her captain bold in his stars of gold,
And her sails all set for home."
If dreams were sold in the market place,
What kind of a dream would you buy?
"I would buy a dream," said the happy youth,
"Of honor and purpose high,
Wrought in the work of the coming years,
A dream of a loving bride,
Ot work well done and home well won,
And of children by my side."
If dream were sold in the market place,
What kind of a dream would you buy?
And the mother lifted a tender face,
And said with longing sigh,
"I would buy a dream of my absent boy,
For what could be sweeter bliss
Thun to clasp his hand in the land of dreams
And give him a mother's kiss?"
If dreams were sold in the market place,
What kind of a dream would you buy?
And the man lifted a calm, still face,
To the light of the western sky;
"I would ask a dream of my youthful days
And a dream of the household band;
Of the hills and rills, the vales and dales,
Of my childhood's native land.1'
So ever and on the soul would dream
From its first hour to its last;
Backward and forward in search of good,
In memory and wishing cast,
Bui, oh, the joy when we shall awake
In the land we are going to,
And find that the good and beautiful dreams
Of our hearts have all come true!
MY JEWELS.
I have treasures laid up in the City of God
Bright jewels that never can rust;
For a while they were dwellers in caskets of clay,
But those caskets are now in the dust.
And as here in the light of this beautiful eye
1 number them all o'er and o'er,
1 say to myself in that city above,
I will find my lost jewels once more.
The feet that went down in the river of death
As I stood on life's desolate sand,
Are walking in gladness the streets of pure gold,
That run through that beautiful land.
The lips that tenderly whispered my name
Ere they closed in the silence of death,
Will speak to me yet in the Eden of love,
Where life is no longer a breath.
The dear hands that lovingly clung to my own
As they grew in death pulseless and cold,
Are learning fresh lessons in the City of God,
Of sweeping harpstrings of gold.
The ry?s thnt nirn?d on nie with love to the last
Now beam in eternity's light,
They see in His beauty the King on the throne,
And gaze on His face with delight.
The dear Lord who gave them and look them away
Will not leave me forever alone;
He will give them all back to my bosom again,
When I go where my loved ones are gone.

The windjammer of the compa
ny was talking as usual.
"I dreamed last night," he sta
ted, "that 1 talked back to the
skipper and died and went down
below and got the third griddle
from the right as you go in."
"And was it hot?"
"Hot? I'll say it was hotter
than hotter than-well, anyway,
it was as hot as hell."

Colored Man Evidently Had Lit
tle Confidence In His Judgment
In Important Matter.
A visitor in Kentucky came
across that rare specimen, an un
married colored man.
The negro was a quiet, elderly
person, not shiftless, but quite in
d ustrious, so the northern man
felt curious and determined to find
out why he had remained single.
"Uncle Jim, how does it hap
pen that you are so opposed to
matrimony?" The old fellow
looked up with a grave face, but
there was a twinkle in his eye, as
he replied: "Mesuh! I ain't er
posed to matrimony."
"Well, why is it you have never
married?" his inquisitor continued.
"Haven't you seen anyone you
liked?"
"Lordy! yessah but you see it's
thisaway; I couldn't resk my judg
ment." LINE FORMS ON THE HK1HT.

by a young couple who asked that
he marry them. He answered
he had not time then but that if
they would wait until after the ser
mon he would be glad to accommo
date them. Accordingly, just be
fore the benediction, he announced:
"Will those who wish to be
married today please come forward?"
Thirteen women and one man

A youth once loved a modern miss;
well versed in law was she.
She charged him when he stole a
kiss with petty larceny.
A moment he was quite abashed
and then he squeezed her hand.
"You're wrong, quite wrong,
dear," he replied. "Not petty.
That was grand."
