Manager R. S. Brackenridge of the

toned, the sides are fastened together
with a stent cord passing through a
loop in the goods up to the shoulder
strap. When the shoulder strap is upon
the shoulder it holds the sides closed,
when removed the sides fall apart and
the garment is easily removed. It is
quite a time-saver and improvement
over the button overall.
Charles Howe.a farmer of Champaign,
111., last summer looked over the oats
crop on his 1,000 acre farm and there
was not enough to feed the chickens
He took a trip over the oats belt in four
States and the crop looked bad. He
mortgaged things and went to Chicago
with #35,000, which he put in 1,000.000
bushels of May oats at 28 cents. At 31
cents he bought another 1.000,000
bushels; at 35 cents 500,000 bushels.
This line of 2,500,000 bushels he closed
ont a few days ago above 43 cents, and
went back to Champaign with #310,000
winnings. He is now arranging to take
his entire family to Europe for a year's
stay.
Rev. Dodds lately missed making
some money as shown in the following
from the Punx'y Spirit.
About a year ago Rev. H. G. Dodds
pastor of the M. E. church of this place
took half a dozen of our citizens over to
Sharon. There was a fawn there of 30
acres that he wanted them to buy. It
could be bought for #34,000 he said, and
was a fine investment. After looking it
over the Punxsutawney capitalists con
eluded that Rev. Mr. Doidds was too
•anguine, and refused to buy. One day
last week this same thirty acres of
ground was sold for #151.000. Now the
men who were too shrewd to take the
advice of a Methodist preacher in a
business matter are trying to hire a
cheap boy to kick them. They see
wnere they lost a clean profit of $117,-
000 in less than a year, nearly #20,000
each for the six.
Rep. and Mrs. J. B. Showalter gave I
a most charming Irincheon in honor of
Mrs, Philander C. Knox, .wife of the I
Attorney General at their Washington
home, last Saturday. The parlors were
elaborately decorated with palms and
roses, but it wAs in the dining room
that the originators' art excelled. The
invitations were for a "Easter "luncheon
which idea was carried out in the
flowers, salads and bgn-bons as well as
}n the dainty place cards The latter
were hand painted birds' nests filled
with pretty colored eggs. The color
scheme was in yellow and purple. An
arrangement of jonquils with their own
foliage formed the centerpiece from
which radiated sprays of Southern smi
lax leading to purple-tied cheese wafers
placed at each plate The confections
attracted no little attention. A yellow
hat and purple parasol were the form of
the larger pieces, while the smaller were
in the shape of popular Easter flowers.
Cucumbers representing tiny boats, with
a minitnre flag waving from tlie main
deck, contained tomato salad Another
feature new to the Washington table
were individual chafing dishes from
which were served lobster a la New
burg.

Wnen I Say That
The Davis Sewing Machine leads nil
others, it is not merely to fill a column
with an ad\ rtiseuient { mean that no
other machine is so simple' 1 mean
that no other machine is so finely made!
And that no other machine is so easily
run! The "Davis" is polished like a
watch; it will not kill a woman to run
it: it will do more than double the
variety of work, without basting, than
any other machine can do. All other
sewing-machine men acknowledge this,
but says, "Our's is the cheapest.'' But
I say that to buy a cheap sewing ma
chine is not economy. The bust is al
ways the cheapest. 1 also sell Belir
Bros' Matchless Pianos. For further
