‘ ‘ A merry heart doeth good like a medi¬ 
cine .”— Bible. 
The day he was married his soul was thrilled 
And his face w'ore a happy smile 
As he noticed the very superior way 
His bride swept up the aisle. 
But now that they’re settled his soul is sad 
And he feels just as meek as a mouse 
As he sees the inferior manner in which 
His wife sw’eeps up the house.

Little Roger had gone into the coun¬ 
try for the first time, and his grand¬ 
father had taken him out to see the colt. 
“ There, Roger,” said the old gentleman, 
‘ ‘ did you ever see such a little horse as 
that ? ” Roger never had, and his eyes 
shone; but there was one drawback. 
“What’s the matter with him, grandpa?” 
he said. “He hasn’t any rockers.”—

A LAWYER was cross-questioning a 
negro witness in one of the justice courts 
the other day, and was getting along 
fairly well until he asked the witness 
what his occupation was. “ I’se a car¬ 
penter, sah.” “What kind of a carpen¬ 
ter?” “They calls me a jack-leg car¬ 
penter, sah.” “ What is a jack-leg car¬

“IT CROWS ON

A local agent in Indiana, who has sold Page 
fence for several years, took positive orders 
for 1,000 rods in one week, and that late in 
November, which is not a good fencing 
month. However, tho largo amount (nearly 
one Imiidred jiiileii) he has put in use In 
his territory, enables him to practically 
ignore competition. That’s one advantage 
of a Page agency.
