A "Quick Meal" Stove will do any and

quicker, cheaper and in a more agree-

When a certain man died in Texas not
long ago, says- the Galveatqn News,
leaving fburteen years on subscription
to his local paper unpaid, the edttor ap-
peared at the grave as the lid was being
screwed down for the last time and put
in a linen duster, a themometer and a
palm leaf fan. Editors, it is remarked,
are not prosperous, but they are always
kind and considerate.
It is said that a Wisconsin editor was
borrowing a lot of trouble in trying to
find out how he would be able to get his
clothes over his wings when he reached
paradise. The difficulty was somewhat
eliminated when, in response to one of
his editorials embracing the question,
a wicked contemporary presented the
question as to how he would get his hat
on over his horns!—Western Publisher.
' Honest, Now.
When a handbill is dropped at the
door, do you see three members of the
family rush for it at once? Do they
clamor good naturedly for the first peru-
sal of a dodger? Does mother divide it
into parts, give one part to lather, an-
other to Willie, still another to Susar.,
and keep the adv. herself? Do they
drop into easy chairs and read that
handbill through from the northeast cor-
ner to the southwest angle? Do they
ever and anon break into "Ahs!" and
"Ohs?" and read an excerpt for the
benefit of the whole listening coterie?
Do they? Efi! Do they? Notonyour
tin-type, Horatio! The first' one that
finds that handbill mutters an impreca-
tion of dissatisfaction, crumbles it into
a wad and throws it into oblivion! Don't
they? You know they do because yon
have been angry yourself at finding
your mail box full of "truck" and your
front porch all littered with vari-colored
paper! No use talking, 110 use arguing
against the gospel. The man who puts
his ad. in the home paper is the man
who gets there.—Ex.
Basket Supper.
The Home Mission Society will give a
basket supper at the school chapel, Sat-
urday, April 11th, for the purpose of
making the last payment on the pews
for the new Methodist church.
The cause is a worthy one and yon
are guaranteed an excellent entertain-
ment, consisting of music and recita-
tions. Mrs. Bates and Mr. Dinelly will
furnish music and Miss T. Rose Molin-
ari will sing. These features alone
promise a splendid evening entertain-
ment. Ladies bring your baskets.
Gentlemen bring your pock6tboooks.
To California
sensibly
Two-thirds of the people who go to California make the
trip in a tourists sleeping car. It is the sensibje way to go
—almost as comfortable as a palace car and v£ry much less
expensive Rock Island tourist ears are operated over
both the "Scenic" and "Southern" routes—daily from
Kansas City and Topeka via El Paso; twice a week via Col-
orado Springs and Salt Lake City.
Cars which leave Kansas
City Tuesdays,Wednesdays
ppjj/ and Fridays, as also both
cars over the "Scenic" line,
are personally conducted.
All of them go through to
California without change.
