Humorous. 
Mkt his Match.— A fellow thinking to 
appear smart entered a notion Btore on 
Sixth avenue the other day and said to one 
of the salesladies : “ Ever have any call for 
husbands here?” “ O, yes, occasionally, 
Are you looking for a market?” “Yes,” 
said Smarty. “All right. Step right up 
on the 10 cent counter .”—Texas Siftings. 
Settling the Difficulty.—“Now look 
here,” said the professor to the infuriated 
bull, “ you are my superior in strength, I 
am your superior in mind. Let us arbitrate 
this matter and see which should, by right, 
get the better of our controversy.” “Oh, 
no,” replied the bull, “let’s toss up for it.” 
Later—The professor lost.— N. Y. Sun. 
An Obscure Compliment.— She (recently 
married): “ How horrible it is for a man to 
marry a girl just for her looks; it betokens 
a lack of depth and feeling in the other 
sex. Don’t you think so?” He: “I cer¬ 
tainly agree with you; but you have a 
model husband, Mrs. Lee. He never would 
have married you for your looks.”— Ameri¬ 
can Orocer.

O IGUING potatoes is neither easy nor profitable 
when done with a hoe, but with n DEERE or 
SHAKER POTATO DIGGER, which will tu n out 500 
bushels of potatoes a day, potatoes can be made a 
paying crop. The lleere I'otnto Digger Is a light- 
running, easy handling tool, that WILL PAY FOR 
ITSELF IN TWO DAYS’ WORK. The Shnker I'o¬ 
tnto Digger is u better but more expensive lmple 
incut, ft shakes the dirt off I be potatoes and leaves 
them clean on top of the ground There is no tool used 
on the farm that will pay for Itself In any less time.

have learned by experience that the only waterp ro °f 
coat they can sell to a cowboy or hunter is the 
Pommel Slicker wdh the "Kish Brand" Trade 
Mark on it. They are the best waterproof saddle 
coats ever made. They keep the saddle, the 
horse’s back, and the rider thoroughly dry and 
warm. No saddle sores lrom the galling ot a wet 
saddle. When used as a walking coat, the ex¬ 
tension front buttons back, and the Slicker is 
changed at once lo an ordinary coat. Just try 
one, they cost but little and will prevent colds, 
fevers, rheumatism, and other results to exposure 
to the weather. Beware ot worthless imitations, 
every garment stamped with " Kish Brand ’’ Trade 
Marie. Don’t accept any inferior coal when you 
can have the “Kish Brand Slicker" delivere'i 
without extra cost. Particulars and illustrated cat¬ 
alogue free.
