Humorous. 
The only certain road to wealth— 
A test will prove it so— 
Is holding on to money when 
You feel like letting go. 
—Chicago Record. 
“It’s funny that you should be so tall. 
Your brother, the artist, is short, isn't 
he?” He (absently); “Yes, usually.”— 
Brooklyn Life. 
“Is your daughter learning to play the 
piano by note?” “Certainly not,” an¬ 
swered Mrs. Cumrox, severely. “We al¬ 
ways pay cash.”—Washington Star. 
Young Motheu: “Baby is somewhat 
cross to-day. He is teething.” Bachelor 
(in great awe of the mite of humanity): 
“And when do you expect him to com¬ 
mence—er—hairing?”—Punch. 
“How do you buy your apples? By the 
barrel?” “That’s the way I try to buy 
them, but when I get them home I gen¬ 
erally find I have bought them by the 
top layer.”—Chicago Tribune. 
• Mamma, I heard somebody to-day say 
that matches were made in heaven.” “I 
believe that is true, Willie.” “Well, do 
they want matches if there’s going to be 
no night there?”— Australasian. 
“If you’ll split some wood I’ll give 
you a good meal,” said the lady of the 
house. “Excuse me, madam,” haughtily 
returned the wanderer. “I never begin 
breaKfast with a chop.”—Philadelphia 
Record. 
Good Man (sadly): “Ah, my son, you 
have been to the circus; it pains me 
greatly that one so young should have 
crossed the threshold of iniquity.” Bad 
Boy: “But I didn’t cross no threshold; 
I crawled in under the tent.”—Gaiety. 
“Who was Esau?” asked the Sunday 
school teacher, who was testing the Bib¬ 
lical knowledge of her pupils. “Esau,” 
replied the prompt scholar, “was the 
man who sold his birthmark for a pot 
of massage.”—Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele 
graph. 
A SCHOOL BOAKD inspector once asked 
a class of children if any of them could 
tell him what an epidemic was. No an¬ 
swer. “Well, let me prompt you. An 
epidemic is anything that spreads. Now, 
what’s an epidemic?” “Jam, sir.” re¬ 
plied a boy promptly.—Brooklyn Life. 
Mahkl: “That young Huddleston has 
asked you six times to marry him, has 
he? I wouldn’t feel irritated over that 
if I were in your place. You ought to 
look upon it as a high compliment.” 
Maud: “That s all right enough, but I 
don t like the idea of his making a con¬ 
tinuous performance of it.”—Chicago 
Tribune.

plained in the

This corn was grown on the farm of II. Kurtz, Stewartstown, Ta., in the driest 
season known in tliat section. The only good corn grown in tliat region was on 
farms where the “SUCCESS” WEEDLR was used. Five average ears of this 
corn averaged 22 ounces per ear, yield 80 bushels to tlie acre, and it was cultivated 
entirely with the “SUCCESS” WEEDER, no otlier implement of any kind used. 
ment that goes on the farm. It saves 
time and makes money.” 
J. R. .Stuaulky of Iliwassee College, 
Tenn., writes: “1 am more than pleased 
with the weeders bought of you last year 
and the year before. All those 1 have sold 
to are delighted with them. I would not 
be without one this coming year for S50, 
aud 1 have been on this farm for thirty- 
five years hut never before made such a 
crop of corn as I did this season. Thirty 
wagon-loads of corn In a field that never 
before went over sixteen loads. In your 
weeder you certainly have the best Imple- 
D. L. Charlton of Vicar’s Switch, Va., 
writes: “The weeder bought of you last 
April has proved to be everything you 
claim for it. My fifteen year old boy cul¬ 
tivated twelve acres of corn entirely with 
the weeder. He would start it to work at 
7 A. M., and by 4 P. M. would be over bis 
field. Result, I had the finest crop ofcorn 
that I ever raised.”

Tooth Hari-ow. 
Lean harrows mako fat harvests. They do more work and do it 
more efficiently than any other harro w. They tear up the ground, 
smooth it for sowing, harrow in the seed, kill the weeds after the 
crop comes np. The teeth are adjnsted to salt any condition 
of the soil. By a touch of a lever they are instantly cleared 
of trash without stopping the team. Tho^ 
most substantial and finest finished farm implements 
made to-day. Made entirely of steel, light and dur¬ 
able. Both the spiked tooth and spring tooth harrow 
will save enough in a year to pay for itself.
