I N this connection it will be pertinent and timely 
to warn the public against Cheap Threshers and 
Cheap Portable Engines. The superiority of 
our machinery, in all particulars, is now so gener¬ 
ally acknowledged that our competitors have no 
resource but to present the attraction of low prices 
tend long credit. Their goods being inferior, they 
have to sell them lor what they can get. l’jraes 
are hard; and purchasers, without fullv consider¬ 
ing the subject, will sometimes allow a lower price 
to decide them. Manufacturers of “cheap ” ma¬ 
chines are so act on carrying out conipetion to ils 
utmost—competition of Cheapness, not of Ex¬ 
cellence—that they meet “bargain hunters" half 
way, and furnish them cheerfully with inferior ma¬ 
chines at the cheap rate they arc asked for. 
W E are much mistaken if this is what the public 
wants or expects of us. flood nmchineiy can¬ 
not be made when neither workman nor employer 
has pride id his occupation; inlerestand pleasure in 
the work are both wanting, and both arc essential 
in making good machinery. 
AUK mission and business is, to build Threshing 
U Machinery of the Highest Excellence, 
whatever the cost, and, holding firmly to this single 
purpose, wc have added improvement after im 
uKOvetiiKiit. until the reputation of our Machines 
has become co-extensive with the grain-raising re¬ 
gions of the continent. 
A Matter of Interest to Travelers. 
Tourists, emigrants and mariners dad that Hos¬ 
tetler’s stomach Hitters Is a medicinal safeguard 
against unhealthfnl Influences, upon which they 
can implicitly rely, since it prevents the effects 
that an unhealthy climate, vitiated atmosphere, 
unaccustomed or unwholesome diet, bad water, or 
other conditions unfavorable to health, would 
otherwise produce, on long voyages or journeys 
by land In latitudes adjacent to the equator, It Is 
especially useful as a preventive of the febrile 
complaints and disorders ot the stomach, liver ami 
bowels, which are apt to attack natives of the 
temperate zones sojourning or traveling In such re¬ 
gions, and Is an excellent protection against the 
Influence of extreme cold, sudden changes of tem¬ 
perature, exposure to damp or extreme fatigue. It 
not ouly prevents Intermittent und remittent fe¬ 
ver, and other diseases of a malarial type, but 
eradicates them, a fact which has been notorious 
for years past In North and South America, Mexi¬ 
co, the West IndleB, Australia and other countries.

A NEW SECRET ORDER. 
A BLUNDER AND ITS REWARD. 
A gentleman was threatening to beat a dog 
which barked intolerably. “Why,”exclaimed 
an Irishman, “would you beat the poor dumb 
animal for spakin’ out?” 
The other day, after a strapping young man 
had sold a load of corn aud potatoes in the 
market, aud had taken his team to a hotel barn 
to “ feed,” it became known to men around the 
barn that he was very desirous of joining some 
secret society in town. When questioned he 
admitted that such was the case, aud the boys 
at once offered to initiate him into a uew order 
called the “ Cavaliers of Coveo.” He was told 
that it was twice as secret as Freemasonry, 
much nicer than Odd-Fellowship, and the cost 
was ouly two dollars. In case he had the 
tooth-ache he could draw five dollars per week 
from the relief fund, aud he was entitled to 
receive ten dollars for every headache aud 
twenty-five for a sore throat. 
The young man thought he had struck a big 
thing, and after eating a hearty dinner he was 
taken into a store room above the barn to he 
initiated. 
The boys poured cold water down his back, 
put flour on his hair, swore him to kill his 
mother if commanded, and rushed him around 
for an hour, without a single complaint from 
his lips. When they had finished he inquired; 
“Now I’m one of the Cavaliers of Coveo, 
am I ?” 
“You are,” they answered. 
“ Nothing more to learn, i6 there ?” 
“ Nothing.” 
“ Well, then I’m going to lick the whole 
crowd.” continued the candidate, and he went 
at it, and before he got through he had his two 
dollars initiation fee back aud three more to 
boot, and had knocked everybody down two 
or three times apiece. Ho didu’t seem greatly 
disturbed in mind as he drove out of the barn¬ 
yard. On the contrary his hat was slanted over, 
and he had a fresh five-eeut cigar in his teeth, 
and mildly said to oue of the barn boys : 
•• Say, boy, if you hear of any cavaliers ask¬ 
ing for a coveo about my 6ize, tell ’em I’ll be 
in on the full of the moon to take the Royal 
Skyfugle Degrees.”

ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE 
“VIBRATOR 95 
THRESHING MACHINERY. 
Ilf E are sometimes asked why the prices of our 
W goods arc apparently higher than some others 
of inferior make, and we avail ourselves of this op¬ 
portunity to place the matter in its true light. 
O UR “Vibkator” Threshers and Portable 
Engines embody the best results of our experi¬ 
ence and study during our long business career. 
Whatever would add to their durability, efficiency, 
and solid excellence, in any particular, has been 
eagerly seized upon and utilized without regard 
to labor or expense. 
During his first visit to Paris, M. Lasalle, a 
distinguished German, presented himself at 
the house of a well-known lady, to whom be 
had sent letters of introduction in advauce. 
When the servant opened the door and received 
his card, she conducted him to the boudoir and 
told him to be seated, saying: “ Madame will 
come immediately.” 
Presently the lady entered. She was in 
dishabille and her feet were bare, covered only 
with loose slippers. She bowed to him care¬ 
lessly and said: 
“Ah, there you are; good morning.” 
She threw herself on a sofa, let fall a slipper, 
aud reached out to Lasalle her very pretty 
foot. 
Lasalle was naturally completely astounded, 
but lie remembered that at his home in Gei- 
many it was the custom sometimes to kiss a 
lady’s hand, and he supposed it was the Paris 
mode to kiss her foot. Therefore he did not 
hesitate to imprint a kiss upon the fascinating 
foot so near him, but he could not avoid say¬ 
ing: “Thank you, madame, for this uew 
method of making a lady’s acquaintance. It 
is much better and certainly more generous 
than kissing the hand.” 
The lady jumped up, highly indignant. 
“ Who are you, sir, and what do you mean ?” 
He gave his name. 
“You are not, then, a corn-doctor?” 
“I am charmed to 6ay, madame, that I am 
not.” 
“ But you sentme the corn-doctor’s card ?” 
It was true. Lasalle in going out that morn¬ 
ing had picked up the card of a corn-doctor 
from his bureau and put it in his pocket. 
This, without glancing at, he had given to 
the servant, who had taken it to her mistress. 
There was nothing to do but to laugh over the 
joke. 
HRESHTNG machinery cannot be made for 
nothing, even with the aid of machinery. Our 
:es are as low as they ought to be, and, without 
ibl. as low as they ever will be. Do not be cle- 
ceu with mere cheapness— quality always 
soends faster than price. Low price, 
cciully in Threshers and Portable Engines, 
ims Low duality, with Low Per- 
rrnauoe and Hindi Repairs.
