11 Where are you going, my pretty maid ? ” 
“ To milk old brlndle, sir,” she said. 
“ May I go, too, my pretty maid ? ” 
“ The oow might eat you, sir,” she said.

DOGS have their day and horses have a 
show, too, in New York this week. — Phila¬ 
delphia Press. 
Isn’t it strange that the better a man gets 
on in this world the better he is off ?— Yon¬ 
kers Statesman. 
Ethel (ambitious): “ What would you 
do if you had a voice like mine ? ” Maud 
(spitefully): “ I’d try to put up with it.” 
—New York Herald. 
DORA: “ Oh, I’ve had such a long walk 
to day, and my feet are so tiredl” Cora : 
“ Yes, even your shoes’ tongues are hanging 
out! "—New York Herald. 
Teacher: “ Can you tell me what a se¬ 
cret is ?” Little Girl: “ Yes’m. It is 
something somebody tells everybody else in 
a whisper.”— Chicago Post. 
“A TWO CENT STAMP, please,” she said 
to the druggist. “ Five cents,” was the re¬ 
ply, as he tore one from the sheet. “ Five 
cents!” “ Yes’m. The McKinley Bill—” 
“Oh, yes! I understand.”— New York Sun. 
A Georgia woman suddenly died the 
other day at the foot of a tree which she 
had partially chopped down. When her 
husband got home from the cross roads 
and found no supper ready for him he 
nearly went crazy with grief.— Texas Sift¬ 
ings. 
Knew too Much. — Intelligent Com¬ 
positor: “That new reporter spells ‘victuals’ 
‘v-i-t-a l-s.’” Foreman: “Yes, he’s fresh; 
make ’er right, and dump’r in here; want 
to go to press in just three minutes.” And 
this was what the public read when the 
paper was issued: “ The verdict of the 
coroner’s jury was that the deceased came 
to his death from the effect of a gunshot 
wound in his victuals.”— Whiteside Herald. 
Government Corn.— Farmer’s Boy: 
“ Pop, the corn husks in this field are very 
thick.” Old Farmer : “ That means we’re 
goin’ to have a hard winter.” Boy : “ But 
the corn husks in that other field are very 
thin.” Farmer: “Hum! I got that seed 
from the Agricultural Department at 
Washington, an’ I shouldn’t wonder if it 
was fool enough to go by Greeley.”—

.95 HARNESS 
Words can not express the known 
success that our World Renowned 
“Murray” #55.95 Buggies have met 
with. They have stood the test of rough 
roads, hard climate and tough driving, 
and now 
STAND AT THE HEAD 
without a known competitor. 
BEWARE OF IMITATORS 
of our Murray Buggies and Harness. 
See that your Buggy has our name plate 
and guarantee on it, and 
YOU ARE SAFE. 
WILBEIt II. MURRAY 
Without a doubt the excellent quality of 
our Celebrated “Murray” #5.95 Harness

more praise than anything that has been 
placed on the market for years.. Our plan of 
SELLING DIRECT TO THE CONSUMER 
and declaring ourselves openly and above 
board AGAINST ALL POOLS AND TRUSTS 
has also made us many friends.
