• • Do you go to church to hear the ser¬ 
mon or the music, Maude?” “I go for 
the hims,” said Maude.— Harper's Bazar. 
“Yes,” said the tree, “I suppose I’m 
ready, as far as my trunk goes ; but I’ve 
decided not to leave until spring.”— Life. 
Penelope (freezingly) ; “You do not 
love me.” Ten Broke (convincingly): “I 
worship the very ground that you in¬ 
herit.”— Life. 
Litti.k Gikl : “How did you scratch 
your nose?” Wheelman: “Bicycling.” 
Little Girl (thoughtfully): “ You should 
not ride with your nose so close to the 
ground.”— Good News. 
A little girl’s father had a round 
bald spot. Kissing him at bedtime not 
long ago, she said, “Stoop down, Popsy; 
I want to kiss the place where the lining 
shows.”— The Household. 
Tommy: “Say, paw.” Mr. Figg: “Now 
what is the matter ? ” Tommy : “When 
the Fourth of July falls on Sunday, does 
it fall hard enough to break the Sab¬ 
bath ? ”— Indianapolis Journal. 
Mother: “Johnny! On your way 
home from school, stop at the store and 
get me a stick of candy and a bar of 
soap.” Father : “ What do you want of 
a stick of candy ? ” Mother : “ That's so 
he’ll remember the soap.”— New York 
Weekly. 
Magistrate (to witness): “1 under¬ 
stand that you overheard the quarrel be¬ 
tween this delendant and his wife .’ 
Witness: “Yes, sor.” Magistrate: “Tell 
the court, if you can. what he seemed to 
be doing.” Witness : “ He seemed to be 
dome the listenin’.”— New York Herald. 
Bred up to our high standard and the standard so fixed 
that it is sure to reproduce itself. A few bushels more to the

Perhaps you have 
tion of buying a binder, reaper or 
mower—and it’s not a McCormick. 
You decide upon a machine which, 
you remember, showed up very favor¬ 
ably in a draft test—but you forget what 
sort of a “ test ” it was. 
Our seed is from ears io inches long and upwards. On 
forty-acre fields we averaged 140 to 160 bushels per acre. This 
corn fully matures in 100 days from planting in any latitude. 
We were short of seed last year, but hope to supply all 
demands this season. Better write about it at once.

his machine “ is just as good as 
the McCormick.”

You forget that the machine
