HUMOROUS 
The dog is iu the pantry, 
The cat is in the lake. 
The cow is in the hammock— 
What difference does it make? 
I joined the new Don’t Worry Club 
And now I hold my breath; 
I'm so scared for fear I'll worry 
That I'm worried most to death. 
—The Congregationalist. 
Examining Officer: “ If you were put 
on the police force how would you dis¬ 
perse a mob?” Applicant: ‘‘I would 
pass around the hat.”—Credit Lost. 
Teacher: “Johnny, I don’t believe 
you’ve studied your geography.” Johnny: 
“No, ma’am; 1 heard pa say that the 
map was continually changing, and I 
thought I’d wait a few years till things 
get settled.”—Melbourne Australasian. 
The police court magistrate of a town 
in southern Kentucky was walking down 
the street one November evening with 
his friend John Markham, a distiller. 
“Judge,” said Mr. Markham, “have you 
ever tried my No. 1 brand of Old Mark¬ 
ham?” “No. John,” admitted the judge, 
“but I tried three men in court this 
morning who had tried it.”—Every¬ 
body’s.

A cat peddler stood on the corner 
with two beautiful white, downy kittens 
in his arms. “What are their names?” 
asked an admiring lady, who stopped to 
caress them. “Tom and Jerry,” replied 
the peddler. “Why don’t you call them 
Cook and Peary?” the lady asked. j 
“They’re so white and snowy.” “Be¬ 
cause they ain’t pole cats.” responded : 
the peddler.—National Food Magazine. 
The elevator conductor of a tall office ^ 
building, noticing that the colored jani¬ 
tor had ridden up with him several 
times that morning, remarked: “Sam, 
this is the fifth time T have taken you 
up, but you have not come down with 
me.” “Well, you see,” Sam replied, “Ah 
been washin’ windows on de ’leventh 
floor, and every now and agin’ Ah 
misses mah hold and falls out.”—Suc¬ 
cess Magazine. 
A very subdued-looking boy of about 
thirteen years, with a long scratch on 
his nose, and an air of general dejection, 
came to his teacher in one of the Boston 
public schools and handed her a note 
before taking his seat. The note read as 
follows: “Miss B-: Please excuse 
James for not being thare yesterday. He 
played trooant, but I guess you don’t 
need to lick him for it, as the boy he 
played trooant with an' him fell out, an’ 
the boy licked him, an’ a man they sassed 
caught him an’ licked him, an’ the driver 
of a sled they hung on to licked him 
also. Then his pa licked him, an’ I had 
to give him another one for sassing me 
for telling his pa, so you need not lick 
him till next time. I guess he thinks he 
better keep in school hereafter.”—Lip- 
pincott’s.

Do you know that the leading insurance 
companies will make a great reduction in the cost 
of every insurance policy they write for you if your 
buildings are rodded with the 
D. & S. SYSTEM OF 
LIGHTNING ROD CONSTRUCTION 
You can easily save the cost of putting lightning rods on your buildings in this way. But re¬ 
member that insurance men are wise to the fact that all work of this kind must be well done. They 
Insist on the buildings being well protected with lightning rods. When so protected they make a 
reduction of from 10 to 33% per cent. This they do If you buy your lightning rods from Dodd & 
Struthers, the originators of the pure Woven Copper Cable, which they own and control. Dodd & 
Struthers are the only lightning rod manufacturers that comply strictly with the requirements of 
the leading Insurance companies—proof positive that our claims are well founded. Be sure you 
get our cable when rodding your house. All other parts, fixtures, weather-vane, seamless 
point; in fact everything that enters into our construction work is and always has been of 
the best material and workmanship. That’s why insurance companies endorse us. They 
trust our rods, knowing that they have always given protection from lightning. They 
r o/o recommend us to every policy holder, because our rods are made right. Our agents 
■ ' are licensed by us. Ask the agent to show you the D. & S. Certificate of Authority. 
If they cannot produce such a certificate, they are not our agents. Beware of

GO INTO ANY GASOLINE ENGINE 
All gasoline engines have some good 
points, or there would be no sale for them 
and they would soon be taken off the 
market. Some engines have more good 
points than others, that’s why some en¬ 
gines are better than others.

gasoline engine, besides many exclusive, 
patented features that increase their effi¬ 
ciency and durability; make then! marvels 
of simplicity and wonderfully economical 
engines to operate. That’s why wesay the 
Watorloo Boy is the best engine for farm 
use. You can buy a Waterloo Boy for less
