1 THE PROG-RESSrVE FARMER: FEBRUARY, 23, 1892. ZEKE BILKINS. Ls7!a7vU 1 . '1! I '.Ma 1 1 !r. Bilkins Has a Little Tiff With Col. CIds He Believes in Reciprocity. "Hello! Mr. Editor." It. -"Hello! Mr. Bilkins." B "Hitch me to Kurnel P. A. c: .1 It. All right. Be careful when talking to Col. Olds. He is a whole electric battery himself and is liab'eto CO off at any time." B. "Hello! Colonel." . Col. O. "Good morning, Mr. Bil kins. Any newB this morning?" , B. "Not a bit. I'm goin' to ask ycu fer new-. Say, what does the "F. A," stand fer in your name? Col. O. "Frederick Alphonso " B. "I thought it stood fer 4 Farm ers' Alliance,' as you are always writ in' something about the Alliance." CoL O. "No that is my name. Any iiOTs, Mr. Bilkins?" B.--"Say, Colonel, what is that you have been writm' about me? You say that I am try in' to get the people to desert the Demxsratic party an' go Into tho Third party." Col. O. Oh! I judged that from the ton of your interviews." B.- "I reck in' if you would see me plekm1 my teeth with a goose quill, you would think I had swallowed a goose. Look here, Col. Frederick Alphonso, I'm in favor of the people havin' some cay so' about these things. As a matter cf business you would advise people to uy goods where they can get them i 1 . u cheapest. I believe in people votin' -..-ith the party that gives them the most fer their money, if that ain't sund advice, I don't know what you -.-rant. If the Democrats will rub the cobwebs off their eld party, shine it v make it the best, then I'm fer that I arty first, last an' all the time. If ycu kin get up any logic that will down that I want ter know it. Col. O. "Oh ! Your logic is all right I fully agree with you, that every man currht to do the best he can for himself,; but you should not abuse the party leaders' B ' Look here Col If robbers should f-f to your house an1 take a whole lot of things you wouldn't feel like saying "that is all right boys, just wait about twenty five years an' I will have you punished." Robbers have bin work in' on the farmer for years and tkc?y." have got tired of waitin'; we rrant them punished right now an' v. "6 want their outrages stopped. If the Democratic party i- going to do it let the good work begin If not we want to know it..-Taint goin' to stop kickin' . liber an' I'm goin' to fire buljets here after instead of blank cartridges. Aint that the way to rout the enemy Col. ? Col. "O yes, that is the way, but you must bo patient." B. 'Haint I bin patient ? Haint I waited, until I raised a whole family ? Haint 1 waited an' sweated an' growled an' prayed for all these long years an' with things a gittin' worse every year? . -y Col. I've stood more than Job did. . ' j was afflicted, but he did not have to ?p to make millionaires an' give ri ?rtgages like we poor farmers are do . Job didn't listen to promises that never fulfilled as I have done. He till n't get half as much hypocritical . vice as I get every year. He didn't have to listen to t iriif reform an' did not get a rakin' from his wife four time3 a day like I do. I believe in re r. rccity. Che politicians have bin havin' i leinc; n' we have bin havin' the trouble. Now we have got them in hot water and they are sheddin' tears an' pullin' out their hair. Col. I ain't sor ry for you and the rest of the politicans - obit. "Every dog has his day." Tae I jHticians have had theirs. Our time i . come. Goodbye Col. Frederick lonzo. GOLD DUST. Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaketh," so I want to speak cf "Gold Dust." I have proved it to I o good that I want every woman v ho has to work to know how much c wito it will make their work. It is rnovvhat similar to other washing powders,-' but; is much cheaper and mora eflt ctive;- When I got the first package,-; I emptied "aome into a pail " I nut it nn thft tablto ftxuprimonf with in anv and everv olace whero T cii! J use soap. I have found it to be : 2T than the best soap I ever used :n washing dishes it makes the :r soft for the hands; silverware , ed with it keeps brighter : tinware aires only aoout nan tne work to a . J 1 A. 1 .. . : is smiling; ana last dud not least 1 m i is -the clean, sweet dish-cloths which you can have with far less trouble than if soap is used. I had some stove zincs which were all specked from ashes or some other cause; I had tried every thing on them that I knew of, but one cleaning with Gold Dust was worth more than all the rest. And now a word about washing: with it. I don't put my clothes t o soak Sun other night, but Monday morning I get breakfast and eat it; then I sort oyer the clothes and put them to SOaK in warm water, lu which I have added a level tablespoon ful of Gold Dust Washing Powder for each pail of water; next, I wash dishes, make beds, and so on, for about two hours; then I fnish my wash, by rub bing, boiling, sudsing and rinsing, as usual ; but the rubbing is more in name than in reality, except in a few badly soiled places ; and I only let the clothes fairly boil up. I get my wash ou m good time and the clothes are clear and white. It does not hurt my hat ds, so I will risk the clothes. Several months' use has only added to my appreciation of it for all kinds of kitchen and laun dry work. Try it, sisters, and be con vinced. Mrs. EIva Gaillard, box 200, Girard, Pa. The many friends of Mr. T. Stevens will be gratified to learn that he has been admitted to an interest; in and has been elected Secretary of the Goulds & Caldwell Co.. the well known manu facturers of windmill ? and other lines of farm machinery in Chicago During eight years of service with this company and its predecessors, Mr. Stevens has shown unusual ability, and is now recognized as one of the fore most men in his line of trade in the country.

No matter what her station, whether reared in poverty or luxury, the demands of her position make fearful expenditures upon her store of vital ity . 1 ler energy is exhausted, her strength wasted, and the freshness of feature and elasticity of muscle are gone. She says she is not sick but only tired, and therefore needs no medicine because medicine was intended for sickness. Some of these days she may realize the fact that she needs medicine and has needed it a Ion-: time. Why not save years of suffering and happiness by taking medicine no ? Th- Capital Female Tonic is prepared expressly for such cases. Those who have tried it say they feel like new women, and no wonder, because it is a remedy true to name Prepared expressly for mail order trade.
