HUMOROUS 
There was a young woman named Camp¬ 
bell 
Who fixed up her face with enampbell; 
But it closed up her pores 
And she passed from life's shores 
To a world that is free from all trampbell. 
-—Catholic Standard and Times. 
“I didn’t know Dr. Cupper was a skin 
doctor.” “Evidently you never saw one 
Of his bills.—Indianapolis News. 
Teacher: “Tell me, Bobby, what are 
the two things necessary for a baptism?” 
Bobby: “Water and a baby, ma’am.”- 
Boston Herald. 
Shopper: “But aren’t these hose rath¬ 
er loud?” Clerk: “Yes, sir. They are 
intended only for persons whose feet 
are in the habit of going to sleep.’ — 
Chicago Daily News. 
He: “But don’t you think you are 
somewhat extravagant?” His Daughter: 
“Now, papa, don’t be unreasonable. You 
know I never ask you for money except 
when I haven’t any.”—Tit-Bits. 
“One trouble ’bout dis life,” said 
Uncle Eben, “is dat when you tries to 
mind de golden rule some people takes 
It foh granted dat you is* sKyaht of ’em 
an’ stahts in to do you up.”—Washing¬ 
ton Star. 
“Poor man,” said the inquisitive old 
woman. “I guess you’ll be glad when 
your time is up, won’t you?” “No 
ma’am, not partickerly,” replied the 
prisoner. “I’m up fur life.”—Troy 
Times. 
“Josiah,” asked Mrs. Chugwater, 
“what is a bucket-shop?” “It’s a place, 
I suppose,” replied Mr. Chugwater, look¬ 
ing impatiently up from his newspaper, 
“where they empty the water out of 
stocks.”—Chicago Tribune. 
Baron: “This is my largest carp 
pond, madam. Every Spring the pond 
is stocked with fish brood. The animals 
are then scarcely two inches long.” 
Visitor: Why, do those little things al¬ 
ready know how to swim?”—Heitere 
Welt. 
Auntie (anxiously): “Do you think 
you have had the. proper training for a 
poor man’s wife?” Sweet Girl: “Yes, in¬ 
deed. Papa hasn’t given me any spend¬ 
ing money worth mentioning for years. 
I always get things charged.”—New 
York Weekly. 
“In our last issue,” explained the edi¬ 
tor of the Hickory Ridge Missourian, 
“the types made us say that ‘the great 
curse this country ought to pray to be 
delivered from is its baking powder.’ 
We wrote it ‘banking power.’ ”—Chicago 
Record-Herald.

WHY THEY COMPARE. 
When an agent doesn’t handle what you ask for 
he will say that what he has is “just as 
good.’’ Other makes are frequent¬ 
ly compared with the 
KRAUS 53? CULTIVATOR. 
That is complimentary. We like it. It means that 
the Kraus is the standard and that you will be 
wise if you pinyour faith to it. Itishigh wheeled, 
light draft, perfectly balanced, simply construct¬ 
ed, eusilv operated. Yny hoy can work it. 
Shovels adjust for wioo or narrow rows, depth 
and angle. Ingenious la dodging plants or ob¬ 
structions. Wheels and shovels instantly thrown 
to right or left by foot levers. A perfect hillside 
worker. Four, six or eight beam-pin, spring noe

ONE OF THE STRONG FEATURES 
OF THE 
DEERING IDEAL CORN BINDER 
is a vibrating butt adjuster which turns out even hutted bundles, simplifying shock¬ 
ing, and contributing to a well-formed shock that will stand indefinitely. 
Yet another feature is the Deering Shifting Binder, which conforms to varying 
lengths of corn and puts the band just where it belongs. 
The Deering Corn Binder comes up to the expectations of the com grower who 
aims to save all the crop.

coupled to our New Rumely Rear Geared Traction Engine 
they constitute a threshing outfit that not only makes big 
money for the thresher, but saves grain and money for ^ 
I the farmer. They are durable beyond oom- <

done buying for years to come. Take a little
