“Teachers,” said the educational cynic, 
“are divided into two classes: Those who 
quit because they don’t know enough to 
teach, and those who keep on because 
they don’t know enough to quit.”—Balti¬ 
more American. 
First Hen : “The price of eggs is the 
same as last week, isn’t it?” Second 
Hen: “Just the same.” “And here we 
have been laying to beat the band. What’s 
the use, anyway, trying to buck against 
these trusts?”—Life. 
“Don’t swear at the mule, Bill,” said 
the old Georgia farmer. “That ole mule, 
as stubborn an’ weatherbeaten as he 
looks, keeps John at college, learn in’ how 
ter play football an’ speak Greek!”—At¬ 
lanta Constitution. 
“I didn’t know your father was a sea¬ 
faring man.” “He isn’t.” “But he said 
he worked on a revenue cutter,” “And 
so he does. But he means that he oper¬ 
ates a sausage machine for the Beef 
T rust.”—Cincinnati Commercial-T ribune. 
Doctor : “What! your dyspepsia no bet¬ 
ter? Did you follow my instructions and 
drink hot water an hour before break¬ 
fast?” Patient: “I tried to, doctor, but 
I was unable to keep it up for more than 
10 minutes at a stretch.”—Cincinnati En¬ 
quirer.

NO CHANCE FOR MISTAKE 
WHEN YOU BUY THIS RAKE 
The cheapest farm implements are the kind that 
last. Durability in a rake is necessary, especial¬ 
ly in the head, frame and wheels. This is 
where the wear comes and this is where 
The JOHNSTON 
ALL STEEL RAKE 
is particularly strong. There’s no wood to 
shrink, split or get shaky—it’s all steel ex¬ 
cept tongue or shafts. Head and frame are 
angle steel; wheels are steel with double 
cast hubs and round staggered spokes: teeth are long, flat-pointed aud clean the ground 
without scratching. A well balanced rake that is a pleasure to operate. Our special 
rake folder tells why the Johnston costs less than the ordinary kind of rakes. It’s free. 
Send for our 1905 catalog and see the Johnston line of farm implements that won the St. 
Louis World’s Fair Grand Prize—highest award given. A postal card will bring it.
