The old saying has it that
‘‘when the days begin to length-
en the cold begins to strength-
en.” Will those who are attend-
ing school and well up in geogra-
phy tell why this is the case?
Why should not the weather be-
come warmer as the hours of
sunlight become more and the
dead of winter come at or near
the shortest day of the year?
A great many young men
whom the doctors advise to take
long walks and exercise with
dumb hells to reduce their
avoirdupois, will stand around
the house with their hands in
their pockets while the little wife
removes the tacks from the
carpet and then complain if she
requests of her lord to pull it out
from under the stove while she
lifts the stove. O, man thou are
certainly a humbug.
Don’t be afraid to do your
duty because some one ridicules
or opposes you. A man who
has opinions of his own and the
courage to advocate them will be
sure to have opposition in this
world because he runs contrary
to other people’s opinions; but
just keep right ahead if your
course is right and your con-
science clear. Don’t bother
yourself about what people say;
If every person would adopt
and strictly practice the rule
of not saying anything derogato-
ry to others only when truth and
justice positively require facts
to be told there would soon be
an era of good feeling and a joy-
ous atmosphere of peace over
ever community church, school
and family. The tale bearer and
the gossip monger are more of a
curse to a community than the
small pox and scarlet fever.
The latter can be quarantined
but who can corral the former?
The good book tells us where
they get their start of fy*e
from.
When your home merchant
presents you with his bill do not
allow the hair on your spine to
rise like porcupine quills and
look as though you had been
insulted. The chances are he
trusted you for the shirt on your
_ I back and the groceries to keep
life is too short fop that. Some, fami| Speak kindly to
will abuse vou through j bim wh() has accommodated you
others for the want of principle,
and some because they honestly
differ from you.
An idle and vacant life, -even
with all the aid amusement can
give, is not calculated to be a
happy one; and this simply be-
cause Providence has constituted
us to a view7 to activity, as that
was to be the means of accom
modating the raw materials of
the physical world to our needs.
Idleness, therefore, injures and
disorganizes, while activity alone
will preserve health and prolong
life. Who are the happy people
of this world? Those who have
something, and not too much to
do; that something being suitable
to their tastes.
for you know you like prompt
pay in others. A man whose
temper rises to ninety degrees
in the shade when asked for a
just account and feels his dignity
has been trampled on is a good
man—not to t rust.
Young man, young woman, let
us whisper in your ear. By all
that is good, oy all that is holy,
by this twentieth century of
marvelous discovery and won-
derful discovery and wonderful
progress, if you don’t wish to be
lying on your hack, see to it that
your educatien is not neglected
while you have the time. If you
haven’t the time take it. ‘‘A
pound of pluck is worth a ton of
luck.” Du nut let your God-

rMAIL ORDER”'
Cream Separators
When you buy a cream separator you want the
best machine you can get for the money, don’t you?
Well; then, just listen to this proposition:
Before you order a “mail order” separator write
to the concern and tell them that you want to try
their machine out against a De Laval, with the priv-
ilege of sending their machine back if you decide
that the De Laval is better worth what we ask you
for it than their machine is worth what they ask.
That’s absolutely fair, isn’t it?
We’ll be glad to furnish you a De Laval for such
a trial any time you like and let you be the judge.
We are glad to make this offer because we
know that the De Laval will give you better
service and cost you less in the long run than
any other machine you can buy, no matter
what the price.
If you already have a mail order
separator, or any other for that mat-
ter, which isn’t giving satisfaction,
we have an exchange offer that
we believe will interest you.

you were alive, hut other people
would have to buy a railroad
ticket and come out and see for

brief tale of the blooming old
thing that isn't worth two cents
a week.
The Old Home Paper.
Bert Walker in Osl«orm\ Kansas. Furiner.
When the citizen is gathered
to his fathers it is in the country
weekly that extols his virtues
and lays wreaths of flowers upon
his bier and consols those left
behind. It recalls the arrival of
boyhood and tells of the bright
prospects that ‘ surround the
happy couple as they start out
on the journey of matrimony.
When the sun is high and bright
and prosperity flows over the
land it rejoices with the people
and repeats again and again the
story of the best town in the best
country in the state. When the
drought stalks down the valley
and crops are parching in the
hot sands, it sings songs of opti-
mism and states authoritatively
that the next issue will record a
soaking rain. Bill Syke’s new
barn, Jim Jumber’s almost com-
pleted residence and Sam Slow’s
remarkable patch of alfalfa finds
their way into its columns. The
doctor, the banker, the candle-
stick maker—all of them--ap-
pear in a never-ending moving
picture before the eyes of the
people every seven days. The
man who has wandered far from
his fireside picks it up, and
again is spread before him the
whole panorama of his boyhood’s
golden days. All for two cents
a week, and pay when you hap
pen to think of it.
The stern faced man of mil-
lions in his spacious office
reaches out eagerly every Satur-
day morning and paws over the
pile of mail until he finds the
dinky little paper with the red
labehon it. The careworn wo-
man in the humble home on the
far western claim glances fre-
quently from the doorway down
the the long, winding road at the
close of a certain day every week
for the coming of the husband
and father.
She, too, is looking for the
same paper with the same little
red label on it. They scan every
item—the man of gold and the
saU eyed woma^n—giiid the mar
ole halls and the flush of power,
.ina the dingy walls and the
gnaw of want, fade away and are
forgotten. He sees again the
swimming hole in the bend of
the creek and hears the shouts
of the boys from the bank ns
they veil “Chaw beef!” She in
fancy smooths again the new
nine frock as she sits in the
front room and listens to ;.Le
footsteps of "him” as he co nes
whistling down the walk. So
they live again the glorious days
of the old home town—the man
of gold and the sad-eyed woman.
’Tis a thing of sentiment, this
little old country newspaper.]
When you want the story of!
valor told to the world it sings
the song. When, perchance
disgrace paints the scarlet letter
on the family circle, it listens to
the pleadings of the broken
heart and whispers not of if.

BI6 SURPRISE FOR MANY IN BIXBY.
Local people are surprised at
the Quick results received from
simple buckthorn bark, glycer-
ine etc., as mixed in Alderika,

came famous in curing appen-
dicitis. R. H. Hughes, druggist,
states that this simple remedy
antiseptisizes the digestive sys
tern and draws off the impurities
so thoroughly that a Single Dose
relieves sour stomach, gas on
stomach and constipation In-
stantly.
