When you eat a cruller, do you swal low the hole ? Unless a letter has a stamp on it, it remains stationery. People, who marry in haste, soine- tlmea repent in Dakota. The bone of contention is generally picked pretty clean. The beauty we see without is but a reflection of that within. Lives of great men oft' remind us that there are hook agents. Talking of biK fuel, some people's shoes cover t woachers. Many a man is afraid of ghosts, but can't be scared by spirits. F. H. Hartman offers his distillery for sale. See ad. in the Post. If "a noisy noise annoys an oyster," can a calm clam calm a clamorous lamb clamnioring for clammy clams? The difference between a playbill and a landlord is that the playbill gets stuck on a bill board ami the landlord gets stuck on a board bill. S. S.

Brown did in his splendid lecture, "In the Spectacle Business. C. G. La no don, Superintendent, Findley Lake, N. Y. Fat hogs command such a good price on the market at present that we are tempted to fatten our yearling sows and convert them into cash. If we do, we are apt to make a serious mistake. Hogs are high, but they are apt to be high this time next year. Ffty-cenl corn means 5-cent hogs or better. High priced corn is causing a shrinkage in the number Of bogs raised and fed. This decrease in the supply will also tend higher hog prices. Don't forget the Teachers' Institute next week. A strong program can be expected. Our people generally should .ease their usual vocations and spend Thanksgiving week lit the Institute. Bring your wives and children to this Intellectual banquet Remember the Patrlcolo Concerts are grand and you cannot afford to miss them. Lam's Horn Brown is a veritable cyclone in the Marks of a Prince. Tickets for sale at the Commissioners' office. Mr. Brown gave us three lectUKfei and has left us to meditate upon his hundreds of terse sayings; many of them a lecture in itself. There is no doubt of his brilliancy or of his mag netism. He talked evenly and quietly j no bluster; no spread-eagleism. He kept a grip on every one; a grip no one could loosen. Mr. Brown is not only distinguished as a writer of quaint philosophy, but he is a brilliant speak er as well. Not brilliant as a rhetori cian, but as a clear and forceful think er, whose eypry sentence is laden with truth and instruction. The unique ness of his character Hashes all through his lectures, and hit quaint humor and philosophy mark all he says. "He view," Winona Lake, Ind. Mr. Brown will beat the Teachers' Institute Thurs day evening. Nov. 28, 1901. The date for the execution of Howe and Keiper by the Govern 01 was ori ginally tlxed lor January Kith, but that date falling on Quarter Session Court week, the time has been post poned to January 28th. The murder of Cashier Charles W. Ryan of Halifax, of which the young men were convicted and sen tenced, occurred last March, and their execution will therefor.) take place in less than a year after the crime was committed. Since the day of their ex ecution has been settled, the young des peradoes are beginning to realize tbe enormity of their deed and the fearful penalty that will shortly follow. They had been hoping all along that a miti gation of their sentence might be brought about in some way. A l iimilj Journal, Dcvoud to News. Science. Art. Political Economy and Current Literature.
