The old tobacco year dead and the toll of the knell, On low prices you all did feel; So we send this greeting of love and good cheer, And of high prices you all going to hear. Our auctioneer is a dandy, His voice loud and clear, He sings glad tidings to the farmers Every day in the year. We've no drummers to give you a call By this our expenses are exceeding ly small; We give you the best prices obtained on the markets, The money others pay drummers we put in your pocket. We will make the Johnson Ware house A place of pure delight; We have done away with drummers And we are out of that fight. From the door of the office Clear back to the wall; We will stand strong to the farmers. If by it we fall. We've been able by your help, To maintain our position; And it has placed us in power, To defy all competition. The large orders we hold, Is certainly no fake, For we can handle more tobacco, Than the whole county make. We love you dear farmer friends, And your needs anticipate; And on the high averages, We are strictly up to date. We make flings at no one, We have good wishes for all; And on our own merit, We either stand or fall. To those who've sold with us, We tender our thanks; Those who have not sold with us, We ask but a chance. If you want pay for your labor, Ship you tobacco and sell, And the high averages to your neigh bor, As a thing you shall tell. DOGKELL. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.

That physical strength increases up to a certain age and then decreases goes without saying. But a wide diversity of views is apt to exist concerning when this point of decline supervence. And as a muscular ca pacity is not at all an uncommon happening. Tests of several thou sand cases made by suitable strength measuring appliances furnish some interesting figures on the subject. In the white race the "lifting" power of the average healthy youth of seventeen is said to be two hundred and eight pounds. It gradually in creases and in the thirty-first year it reaches its highest limit, three hundred and fifty-six pounds. Then practically remaining stationary till forty is reached it slowly lessens from that point, fifty showing a diminu tion of twenty-six pounds from the age of thirty. After fifty the statis tics, while all showing deminishing power, are of little value in that the rate of decline varies very much with the individual. Tne excitement incident to travelling and change of food and water often brings on c'i- arrhoea, and lor this reason no one should leave home without a bottle of Chamber lains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

The chief cause of the country's excess in the use of intoxicating drinks does not lie in the indulgence of the appetite within its ordinary thirst limits, but is built very largely on a distorted bar-room view ot tne principle 01 re ciprocity. Kindly sentiment, mutual regard, personal appreciation and their- allied feellings are undeniably all right as lubricators of the wheels of life. And of course they would not have value unless occasion were taken to apply them. But it is just as much a mystery as ever, even in this en lightened age, to get at tne reason why it is thought by so many men these same sentiments have their best PTnression in anxious extreme and oftentimes expensive efforts to help one another on the road to intoxicat ing. There is surely some way of improving on this custom without in any degree lessening the operation of good-heartedness, and if this latest anti-treating schgme can bring it about It will not be long before, with a clear head and less headaches, the world gives it its proper praise. A Typical South African Store. O. R. Larson, of Bay Vi la, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the prov-rbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station aud about twenty five miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles to many of whom I have sup plied Chamberlain's remedies. All te tify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost cut of tne question With in one mile of my store the popu'ation is perhaps sixty. Of those within the past twelve months, no less than fourreen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Chicago Chronicle: It is not often that a new fashion deserves to be come an institution. Woman's short walking skirt has at last and slowly but convincingly triumphed all over the civilized globe. It is first fashion invented and maintained in the United States and adopted by rest of the world on its merits Its merits are many. The funda mental merit is its hygienic charac ter, jn o intelligent person can see a long skirt trailing over filthy street crossings without wondering at the lack of common sense shown by the wearer,who either fails to hold it up so hold it up or so holds it as to make a grotesque or pathetic figure akin to caricature.

If we would do this more we would find fewer persons really untrust-worthy. It is because people do not trust that there are so many to distrust. Is it not true that we respond to expectations of others? If we meet a person who feels in good humor, who has good news and is so full of joy that he seems to think others feel the same, do we not meet his cordial greeting with one hardly a whit less cordial? On the contrary, if we meet with a lachrymose, disheartened person, one who looks through the purple mists of self and self-interest, one who be lieves all people are suspicious char acters, are we not in a measure in fluenced by this person? Do we not leave his presence with a feeling of suspicion, and do we not find our selves wondering at our faith in hu man kind and having this faith turn el to unbelief and bitter.
