A preacher, at the close of one of his sermons, said; "Let all in the house wh.i are paying their debts stand up " Presently every man, woman and child, with one exception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them ai d said: "Now, let every man not paying his debts stand up." The exception, a careworn, hungry looking individual, clotted in last summer’s suit, slowly’assumed a perpendicular position. "How is n, my friend " asked the minister, “that you are the only one not able to meet his obli gations?" "1 run a newspaper," he an swered meekly, "and the brethren here who stood up are my sub scribers and" "Let us pray," exclaimed the minister. SO CONFEDERATE"OALS" At a recent meeting of the local chapter U. D. D., the hostess who was to entertain, remarked in the morning, that “she did not feel very well. To which the maid who was in attendance, replied, "Umph! well, 1 know you are in a fix, with all them “Confederate gals" goin' to meet here this evenin’-.” There were about fifty of the "gals" present, but the lady recovered her strength and with the help of the interested maid, entertained beautifully.

Have a little patience, the cold weather will soon be gone. The most important automobile brake is under the driver's hat. This being leap year, we hope spring w til come soon and propose to us. Courtship is the period of bon bons. Marriage is the period of groceries. The thing that causes most of the wear and tear on politicians is straddling. Last Monday was the anniver sary of the big snow—February I Ith, 1899. Vt hat this country needs is not more men to re-write the Bible but more men to read it. Please bring in yoursprmg poet ry early—if we can get it all in one bunch we can save a lot on coal. Maybe Luther Burbank could cross an income tax blank with an adding machine and get the cor rect answer. Uur advice to the Weldon man who want*to say exactly what he thinks is to stay out of the news paper business. When we’re feeling tough noth ing irritates us more than to meet the fellow who is determined to scatter sunshine. One disappointment about a visit , o your boyhood home is you al ways meet so many people who tadn’t missed you. One lime when distance doesn't | end enchantment is when your tar breaks down and you’re nine • niles from a garage. s A London editor says hat coun- ^ ry is far ahead of the U. S. inciv lization. Well, we’re ahead of hem in fiivverization. 5 OllR NKW SERIAL Watch for the first installment ol our new serial —"VIOLA OWN," which will appear in issue of Feb ruary 2tSm.

Jane Cowl, who played the stellar role, achieved an artistic triumph that will long be remem bered Later she played to capacity houses all over the country. In San Fran cisco the receipts from the play reached the notable sum of $25,000 a week. On the moving picture screen Norma Talmadge, in the leading role, is credited with her finest type of emotional artistry. The play has been referred to by motion picture journals as one of the sweetest stories ever told on the screen. ‘‘Smilin’ Through” deals with youth, love, misunderstanding and a sadly misplaced desire for revenge. Attempting to part two young lmers—one his devoted ward—an elderly man suddenly lives again through his youth and sees the mistaken manner in which he met life’s problem and sacrificed years of happiness. Through this complete re>c4 ti<*n the young people are re united, and Joy comes again Into a life that had long been barren and unhappy. “Smilin’ Through” Is given by a company of Now York actors organized an<J coached by the New York City Producing Duuartun nt of the Kedpath Bnreau. 50c. $1.00 $l.b0
