“ I wish you sweet dreams.” she said, on the stair, 
As he gcnUy bade her good night, 
“ Thanks for perniission to dream of you, dear I” 
He replied as she vanished from sight. 
Love is blind, but lovers often make a 
pair of spectacles of themselves.— Great

If the good die young, the yarns of the 
Oldest Inhabitant should be received with 
caution. —Puck. 
Adam’s lost “ rib ” appears to have been 
the chief bone of contention among men 
ever since Eve’s time.— Galveston News. 
Literary Aspirant (in his appeal to 
editor): “ I have written poems, sketches 
and stories for leading periodicals.” Ed¬ 
itor : “ In which leading periodicals have 
your articles appeared ? I do not remember 
seeing your name.” Literary Aspirant: 
“ They never appeared; but that was not my 
fault. I wrote them all the same.”— Kate 
Field's Washington.

THE IDAHO PEAR 
Public interest in this most, promising new pear 
continues unabated. Most flattering reports are re¬ 
ceived in regard to the growth of cions and trees sent 
out the past spring, but like all things of merit it has 
its counterfeits. Thousands of bogus trees will be 
palmed off upon the public. Remember, any person 
labeling pear trees “IDAHO” without our consent, 
does so in violation of the Patent Laws of the United 
States. Buy only trees under seal of our registered 
Trade-Mark. Intending purchasers who may prefer 
obtaining trees nearer home will be furnished the 
addresses of responsible dealers who handle genuine 
stock. Send for our illustrated prospectus.
