Humorous 
“You’re all the world to me,” he cried, 
And she, with gentle mirth 
And tenderness, said: “Have you told 
Papa you want the earth?” 
— Washington Star. 
“ Emily, if William to-day asks you to 
marry him, you must tell him to speak 
to me.” “ Yes, mamma ; hut if he does 
not ? ” “ Then tell him I want to speak 
to him.”— FUegende Blaetter. 
“ What kind of a reptile is that?” she 
asked, pointiner to a silver coil with 
ruby eyes in the jewelry store. “I think 
it’s a garter snake,” he replied. And she 
didn't ask any more questions for five 
minutes.— Philadelphia Record. 
An Illinois man, who was traveling 
in Vermont, was not favorably impressed 
with the scenery. “Why, b’gosh,” he 
said, “tliar ain’t a prairie in the hull 
dinged State that ain’t tilted up to an 
angle of ’bout 45 degrees.”— Puck. 
Smakt: “Whatever induced your uncle 
to marry the widow of a man who was 
hanged?” Simpson: “He has been 
married to widows before, and said he 
was tired of having the virtues of former 
husbands flung in his face.” — Spare 
Moments. 
“Are you doing much gardening, Miss 
Struckoyle?” “No, not much. You 
see, I have not yet got the proper stock¬ 
ings for such work.” “Got what?” 
“ The proper stockings—the rubber gar¬ 
den hose I see advertised in the papers.” 
—Tammany Times. 
Professor : “ What constitutes bur¬ 
glary?” Student: “There must be a 
breaking.” Professor: “Then if a man 
enters your door and takes a $10 bill 
from your vest pocket in the hall, would 
that be burglary?” Student: “Yes, 
sir, because that would break me.”— 
Texas Siftings. 
Mr. Shanghai : “Am I to understand, 
my dear, that you do not intend to sit 
this year?” Mrs. Shanghai: “That is 
it, exactly ! If you want any sitting 
done around here you can do it your¬ 
self. I have joined the Hens’ Advanced 
Club, and we have firmly determined to 
let the males take their share of domes¬ 
tic cares.”— Puck. 
Growing Wheat this Year 
P' unless you use on every acre you plant Bradley's Unequaled 
Fertilizers, which not only increase the Wheat Crop from 50% 
to 100%, but so strengthen the stand of grass that the Hay 
Crop is increased from one to three tons per acre. We present 
two of thousands of examples of what they will do: 
Bradley Fertilizer Co.: Upper St. Clair, Pa., Oct. 15, 1894. 
Gentlemen: — I have used your goods for some time and with good results. On ten acres we used 
twelve hundred and fifty pounds, one hundred and twenty-five pounds to the acre, and had forty bushels 
of good oats to the acre. My neighbors who did not use any phosphate had twenty-five bushels to the 
acre. On wheat I used one hundred and fifty pounds to the acre. We had five hundred and thirty-two 
bushels of wheat on seventeen acres ithirty-one bushels per acre), weighing sixty-four pounds to the bushel, 
and since we have been using your fertilizers on our wheat the yield has been almost double. 
Yours respectfully, Wm. T. Fife. 
Bradley Fertilizer Co.: Grbensburg, Ind., Aug. 18, 1894. 
Gentlemen ;— I raised ninety acres of wheat this season and used four different brands of fertilizers 
and bone. I used your HD Sea-Fowl Guano on twenty acres, and it produced the best 
wheat I had. 
The portion where I used your goods yielded thirty and a quarter bushels to the acre, 
/ while where the other goods were used the yield was only twenty-one bushels to the acre. I 
I used the same amount of each brand to the acre on the whole piece. The soil and conditions 
I ( were the same all around as nearly as I could judge. 
J ( Yours truly, J. E. Conley. 1 ItA \
