The little dressmaker who was walk¬ 
ing across the field, on encountering a 
bull said she guessed she’d better cut 
bias to avoid a gore.—Harper’s Bazar. 
Teacher: “Spell ‘wrong,' Johnny.” 
Johnny: “R-o-n-g.” Teacher: “You 
know that isn’t right.” Johnny: “Course 
it ain’t. You told me to spell wrong.”— 
Chicago News. 
He (cautiously): “If I should pro¬ 
pose, would you say yes?” She (still 
more cautiously): “If you were sure 
that I should say ‘yes’ would you pro¬ 
pose?”—Illustrated Bits. 
Contributor (reading aloud): “‘His 
eyes were riveted on her face.’ ” Maga¬ 
zine Editor: “ ‘Riveted?’ Here, cut that 
out. if he didn’t belong to the union 
you’ll have all the uoilermakers in this 
country down on us.”—Chicago Record. 
Mrs. Wuh'Fletree: “So your son 
Rube has finally graduated as an M. 
D.? Is he any good?” Mrs. Swamp- 
root: “We don’t jest know yet! None 
of the neighbors’ children has been took 
sick yet, and Pop won’t risk letting him 
practice on the cows!”—Puck. 
Eastern Tourist: “I am glad you 
are satisfied with the $100 I paid you 
for services, and, as I have taken a fancy 
to your two revolvers I’ll give you $25 
for them.” Western Guide: “Thankee, 
friend; but if after you got me two guns 
you should take a fancy to have your 
$125 back, whar would I be? No of¬ 
fence, pard, but I guess I’ll keep me 
guns.”—Judge.

PROOF 
ASBESTINE 
PROOF Cold Water Paint 
There are a good many “Speare’s Paint Men” 
n the country now. They are painting their own___________ 
houses and barns, fences and out-buildings with ASBESTINE. 
They used 7,000,000 pounds last year and made us quadruple 
our factory. The reason! W.ll, it’s so good, being weatherproof, fire-proof ana 
germ-proof. It’s so durable-will not rub off. wash off, scale muck nor blister. 
It's so simple; being a dry powder to which you simply add cold water. Any one 
can apply it. It’s so cheap, costing only one-fourth as much as oil paint, mats 
why its sales increase every year. Ask your dealer for it or writs us for Laid 10.

CUTTER 
With its^Compound Spiral Cutting and Shred 
j* w DuISm*Iav combined, is the latest great ad¬ 
ding uyimuer, vanC e in feed cutter construction. 
The Cylinder draws and cuts feed from both sides of the 
machine toward the center, thus reducing strain and 
friction on both sides of machine, and throws the feed 
from center of spout, thereby making it absolutely im¬ 
possible for the machine to clog. Write us at once for 
circular, which fully describes this new cutting device, 
as well as for introductory prices aud terms. Mention
