FARMER HIGH SCHOOL
An entertainment si yen laat Friday after
noon by the primary department of the
school, proved a gret success, and each
"little tot" who said a "speech" did it with
much credit, both to himself and the primary
teacher, Miaa Marshall. We believe in
these old time Friday evening speakings,
snd think they should be put into practice
more than they are in the rural schools.
Uuder the supervision of the r teacher, the
little iiunils had, on the day before, sent
out invitations to their respective ''mammas"
asking them to come to the entertainment.
And it was easy to see in their faces how
deliahted they were to know that their papas
and mammas were interested enough to
answer these invitations with their presence
This program by the little folks was supple
mented by a play, "To Meet Mr. Bradsuaw"
oiven try nine of the laieernirla. The com
plete success oi Uiis waa due to tne taol mat
the name ef the gentlemen whom the nine
girls were expecting to meet, w s kept a
profound secret, the entire program wss
much enjoyed.
Wbea a cold becomes settle I in the sys
tem, it will take several dava' treatment to
cure it, and the best remedy to us a is Cham
berlain a tough Keuiedy. It will core
quicker than auy other, and also leaves the
cysietu in a natural snd ueaitny condition.

KING COLE'S

"How wish I had another pewter

"Cgly old things. Cousin Elinor!" be

"Perhaps." laughed Cousin John.
"Old King Cole might bare one."
"And who In the world b Old Klug

"Oh. a qnwr old fellow who liven by
himself In a tumbledown furmbouxe on
the Edgerley road." said Cousin John
"his Dame Is Kingman $le. but ev

Craig listened eagerly. If bis much

plutter she should certainly huve It.

At Inst he reached the desolate old
farmhouse and sturted bravely up tlie
lane. ,
A dismal wailing sound, ulirill aii'l
long, came on the summer breeze.
Craig was on the jioint ot Ueeln;:
down the bine In alarm when he iv-
membered that bis Cousin John bud

Instantly the door was flung oix-n.
and Old Kinti Cole apiicared, looking
to Craig like uu ogre In a fairy tale.
"Ileyl" be roared in a voice that
nearly paralyzed the youthful seeker
after pewter. i
"Hey!" he repeated, glaring fiercely
at bis little visitor.
Craig swallowed desperately and at
last began In a very small and shaky
voice:
"Good morning. Mr. Cole. 1 beard
you playing on your cornet."
Old Klug Cole turned purple with
rage. "Cornet !" he ronred. "Coruei:
Ve young scalawag! Ve little rascal:
Cornet! That was my old cow!"
The door banged violently, and Craig
ran down the lane as fast as his trem
bllng legs could carry blm.
Rut the next morning Craig started
down the Edgerley road oute more re

Cole. Halfway up the nine be ngiiln

At last there wan alienee, and Ci-uIl

Old King Cole spraug out as sud

"Ha!" be roared.
"1 have been listening to your row '
be said, with bis most friendly smile.
Then Old Ktim Cole roared agalu.
but this time with laughter.
"Why. ye little numskull." cried be.
"ye heard u.'e a-playlug on my cor

HOW NiX FOUND
HIS MASTER
While mamma, papa, grandma and
TtU were at breakfast one morning
there waa a sudden tap. tap at the out
side door of the dining room, which
opened on a portico.
"Trlx. see who It Is." said mamma
And wben be went to the door there
stood a little Seotcb terrier wltb bright,
knowing eyes.
Trlx was so astonished be could not
say a word for a minute, then:
"Ob. mamma, mamma, it's a dear,
nice doggy!"
"Well, drive him away," Mid mam
ma, "for be belongs to somebody, yon
know."
Just then Bridget came In and. see
lng tbe dog. said. "Sure, ma'am, aud
that dog have worrit tbe life out
me these two days "
"Oh. mamma." said Trix; "he doesn't
belong to anybody, then, and he wants
to stay with us you can see he does "
Then grandma said quietly, "I think
he Is 'a struniter at the door and need

refreshment." gaiberini: up a plateful
of scraps anil going to tbe door with
them i
"What is your name, dear doggy?"
said Trix over and over, but he an j
swered untiling, so papa said be guess
ed lliey would bave to call him S.
aud be thought Trl and Nli would
make a good team.
About 10 o'clock as tbe two played
together on the porch the postman's
whistle suddeuly souuded. and Ms
fairly (Jew round the corner of the
bouse to the frout. Then, almost lie
fore Trix could wouder why, he bound
ed back and laid a little pile of letters
at his feet. At the same minute the
postman was ringing tbe front doorbell
furiously and rood was telling mamma
bow ber dog Mad seized tbe letters from
his hand.
Then mnintna bad to explain all about
Nix, and the post man said be prob
ably came from the country and hod
been In tbe habit of taking letters
from tbe rural free delivery postman
One Friday morning, a week from
tbe day when be first appeared to Brid
get, mamma stood at tbe window about
B o'clock, for It bad been a very
warm night and she bad not rested
well. She waa just in time to see a
market wagon coming down tbe street.
and as it came opposite tbe bouse
Nix suddeuly bounded Into tbe street
and raced round tbe wagon, wild wltb
joy. Then tbe man took blm up be
side him.
Mamma exclaimed softly to herself.
"Be has found bis owner!" and she
felt sorrowful to see blm go and dis
mayed when 'she thought of Trix snd
his grief. x
But tbe wagon only went a few rods
when Nix bounded down and came hp
the walk again, stood a minute, tlrsi
looking at tbe bouse, then- at the
wagon, but there wr a clear whistle
from tbe man. ' and be , rushed off
again.
So mamma was able to tell Trlx that
the doggy certainly did love tbem and
was sorry to go.
Then another Friday morning came
round, and us miimmn opeued tbe out
side diniug room door there lay mi
the floor a little paper bng. H wouder
what this is." she said, aud when lie
peeped In there was a beautiful peni-h.
and on a wrap of paper was written:
"From a grateful dog "
After that, throughout all the sum
mer market sea sou. there was on Fri
day mornings a little paper bag at-ihe
dining room door, wltb a peach or
pear, grapes, tomatoes or something
and you may be sure Trlx never for
got to look for It.
One morning mamma had him up at
5 o'clock and out In front ready 'to
see Nls when be came, and there was
tbe happiest meeting yon ever saw.
which tbe market man enjoyed, too,
and Anally Trlx was taken upon the
wagon , with tbem and rode two
squares down tbe street and back. '
I think Nls actually thought Trlx
waa going with tbem for good, ant
when the market man put tbe little
qpy dowa at his own door be' did
stand for a minute and look drat ' at
tbe wagon, the a at the bouse, but
mamma aald. "Come, my eon." and be
came 'at that dear call, just as he
aboard, berk Into the house, which
certainly cook" not do wit boat biui.
