—There are some men-and women-who
never make a purchase without looking
over the newspaper to see where to buy.
One of these is Dr. Bedloe, the well-known
d'plomat, traveler and wit, and be is
quoted as telling the story that in his
travels, whenever he wauted a collar or a
necktie or a pair of shoes, or, in fact, any
thing, he looked in the paper and hunted
up the fellow who advertised such things
aud always got satisfaction. "I make it a
rule," he says, ''never to deal with a busi
ness man who doesn't advertise. Judging
from past experience, the business man
who doesn't advertise almost invariably
cheated me, ou the theory, I presume,
that I'd come there, anyhow-or that his
reputation was made and he could do what
he pleased. I have always found such a
man narrow-minded, selfish, non enter
prising, penny wise and pound foolish,
even if he didn't cheat me outright."

Mm. Jordan, of near Eastbrook, Law
rence Co., had quite an adventure the
other day with a frisky calf. She had
finished dinner, ana hang a large linen
table cloth out to be aired, when the calf
had succeeded in swallowing part of the
cloth betore he was discovered. Mrs.
Jordan and her daughter then went to the
rescue of the table oloth and tried to pull
it oat of the c&lfs throat, not because they
cared so much for the cloth, bat because
tbey feared the calf woald choke to death.
The calf held on, however, and after a
lively straggle succeeded in getting anoth
er hitoh on the linen, and gnlped it all
down. Strange to say no ill effects are
visible on the oalf, and its appetite is as
good as ever.
A neighboring blacksmith, acting under
the advice ot a local veterinary sargeon,
chloroformed a refactory horse in order to
shoe him. The horse yielded reluctantly
to the influence of the anaesthetic, bat
was finally brought completely under its
power, and the shoeing process was ac
complished with great ease. A few days
later the horse began to aroop, then was
a.taoKed with lockjaw and died in a very
short time.
