“ Timmins is going to give his wife 50 
cents every time she hears him utter an 
oath.” “Yes; she is stone deaf.”— Chi¬ 
cago Record. 
Mrs. Gunn : “ I wish you’d pay a little 
attention to what I am saying.” Mr. 
Gunn: “I am, dear, as little as possi¬ 
ble.”— New York Times. 
“This liver is awful, Alice,” said Mr. 
Newed. “ I’m very sorry,” returned the 
bride ; “ I’ll tell the cook to speak to the 
liveryman about it.”— Roseleaf. 
“ She aspires to be a butterfly of fash¬ 
ion?” “Yes, indeed, poor thing, but 
she does not seem to get beyond the but- 
terinefly grade.”— Cincinnati Enquirer. 
“Jack says this new horse he has 
bought is a bargain.” “ Then it is a safe 
lady’s horse.” “Why?” “Because a 
woman can always drive a bargain.”— 
Judy. 
“ My little man, aren’t you pleased to 
have a new baby brother, or did you 
want a little sister ? ” “ If it was all the 
same to the Lord, I preferred a goat.”— 
Serflmer’s. 
“ No, Willie, dear,” said mamma, “ no 
more cake to-night. Don’t you know 
you cannot sleep well on a full stomach?” 
“ Well,” replied Willie, “ I can sleep on 
my back.”— Philadelphia Press. 
Jinks : “ Why do you offer such a large 
reward for the return of that contempt¬ 
ible pug dog?” Winks: “ To please my 
wife.” Jinks : “ But such a reward will 
be sure to bring him back.” “No, it 
won’t. He’s dead.”— New York Weekly.

THE 
REAL VALUE 
of grain of anv kind is greatly increased 
by grinding. Grinding is the first step 
lin digestion and assimilation of stock 
food. It is cheaper and better

it. A fast grinder that requires
