"So you told your friend about my three 

 hours' speech ?" # said the emancipated woman. 



"Yes," replied her husband. 



" What did he say ?" 



" He said he wished his wife would make her 

 speeches to an audience instead of to him." — 

 Washington Star. 



He — Where did you say MissFoote was from? 

 She — Chicago. 



He — Why, of course. I ought to have known 

 that. — Detroit Press. 



The other day a wagon maker who had been 

 dumb for years, picked up a hub and spoke ; a 

 blind carpenter reached out for his plane and 

 saw ; a deaf sheep ranchman went out with his 

 dog and herd ; a noseless fisherman caught a 

 barrel of herring and smelt, and a forty-ton ele- 

 phant inserted his trunk into a grate and flue. —

The Kankakee Shooting and Fishing Club 



Offers for sale its lands in Laport and Stark 

 counties, Ind. The lands have a frontage of about 

 four miles on the west side of the Kankakee river in 

 Laport Co., and about two miles of the river frontage 

 on the east side in Stark Co. 



The Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago R. R. passes 

 through these grounds at Davis Station, 64 miles east 

 of Chicago. 



The principal Club Houses are situated near Davis 

 station, comprising three Club Houses, Farm House, 

 Barn and Boat Houses, Orchard, grounds all fenced. 

 There is about 60 acres of good upland, and about 100 

 acres of meadow, with a pleasant grove containing 

 about ten acres of nice oak timber, surrounding the Club 

 Houses which front on the river. Good catches of Bass 

 and Salmon are frequently made a few steps from the 

 houses. North of where the railroad crosses the lands, 

 and at the extreme northern portion of the lands, there 

 is a comfortable Farm House, a Club House and Boat 

 House. Sufficient farming land and meadow for the 

 support of the steward and family. From this point 

 the distance is but a few rods to the best Snipe and 

 Duck shooting ground on Kankakee river. Good fish- 

 ing is to be had also at this place. All along the river 

 heavy crops of wild rice grow annually, and numerous 

 bayous and ponds throughout the rice fields afford rest- 

 ing places for the wild fowls. The entire tract is 

 unequaled for sporting with both rod and gun, while 

 the river affords opportunity for those who delight in 

 aquatic sports. 



The entire tract contains about 1,200 acres, includ- 

 ing the meander land, and is offered at the sum of 

 $10,500, cash. It would be desirable to have intend idg 

 purchasers visit the land, and our steward will show 

 the boundaries. No better opportunity can be afforded 

 to those desiring to form a club. Address
