Nothing but our lack of a sense of humor has so long made pos sible the grotesque spectacle of the sex difference in politics. The more we regard life as a fine art, the more we shall see that it takes men and women both, working side by side, with similar aims, with similar aspira tions, with similar powers, to move the world on. No man alone, withouta woman, can make a real home, though he spends millions of dollars on it and has carloads of furniture within it. It lacks the soul that a woman's touch and a woman's presence in it gives it. No woman can make a home by herself, though she has a tidy on every chair, and a chimney that smokes, and a par rot that swears. It's a forlorn, weak-tea sort of a place, that lacks a certain strength and sta bility that a man in a house gives. And it takes both men and wo men to make a great country, just as it takes both men and wo men to make a proper home; and it will be a glad day for civiliza tion when Uncle Sam ceases to be an old bachelor, and escorts the woman of his country up to the altar.

To have good music you must have a good instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike. The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have lived in this county since my birth, 1 am a taxpayer and in a position to make good any business transactions. Buy your piano, organ, or victrola Irom me and if it is not all right you can come back at me. There are families in every part of this county that have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about me. Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano, or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See me. Let's talk it over. r L. W. FUNK. A. L.
