A BARGAIN FOR FARMERS.
The New-York Tribune Farmer, na-
tional illustrated agricultural weekly
of twenty large pages, has no superior
as a thoroughly practical and helpful
publication for the farmer and every
member of his family, and the publish-
ers are determined to give it a circula-
tion unequalled by any paper of its
class in the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising, up-
to-date farmer always reads his own
local weekly newspaper, The New-
York Tribune Farmer has made an ex-
ceedingly liberal arrangement which
enables us to offer the two papers at so
low a price that no farmer {can afford
to lose the opportunity.
The price of The New-York Tribune
Farmer is $1.00 a year and Tae SoMER-
ser County STAR is $1.50 a year, but
both papers will be sent for a {full year
if you forward $1.50 to THE Stag, Elk
Lick, Pa.
Send your name and address to The
New-York Tribune Farmer, New York
City, and a specimen copy of that paper
will be mailed to you. tf
To Be Decided Later.
The boy, who was visiting his in-
dulgent aunt, had eaten heartily of
the preserves.
“Don’t you think you've had enough,
Willie?” she asked.
“Don’t know,” he replied.
“Don’t know!”
“Nope. Can't tell yet,” he sald.
“But what do you think?”
“Ain’t any use thinking at all. 1
got to know. Thinking don’t help
any if you think wrong.”
“Well, you're the most remarkable
boy I ever knew,” said his. aunt.
“When will you know?”
“In half an hour.”
“And how will you know?”
“Why, that’s easy,” replied the wise
boy. “If I ain't sick in half an hour
I'll be sorry I didn’t take more, and
if I.ag sick I'll be sorry I took so
much: That's the only way to tell
that I know.”
His aunt admitted that it left no
room for doubt, but she tried to point
out that it was rather unsatisfactory,
to which the boy merely replied that
he wished there was a better way but
he didn’t know of any.
Too Much Economy.
“You don’t look well this morning,”
remarked the foreman as a factory
hand entered a Detroit establishment
the other morning.
“Naw!” was the response.
nobody: well to my house.”
“What seems to be the matter?”
asked the foreman, as thoughts of
smallpox, diphtheria, cholera and
other diseases ran through his brain.
“Stinginess,” was the unexpected
answer. “You see, we bought a new
house a while ago, and we economized
to pay for it. We got so dadblamed
stingy that we didn't eat enough to
keep the cold out, and now we're pay-
in’ the doctor the money we saved to
pay fer th’ house.”—Detroit News.

Fred—Ah, ha, and now she insists
on a cheaper sort, I suppose.
Harry—Oh, no. You can get two
pounds oy the 90-cent kind for $1.75,
so she insists on a two-pound box.—

THE ONLY ONE OF THE KIND.
Such Rare Prizes Are Always Taken,
and None to Spare.
The woman entered the ticket of-
fice.
“l want a ticket to Pittsburg on
the limited,” she said.
The clerk looked doubtful.
“Don’t you want to know how much
it costs?” he asked.
“I’ve seen your aavertised rate,”
she said.
“But, of course, you expect to get
a discount of some sort?”
“No.”
“Well, surely you want to know
how much you'd save by going on an-
other train?”
“No; the limited suits me.”
“Or perhaps you'd like to have me
explain why excursion tickets are not
good on that train?-
“No.” .
“Don’t you want to know if the rate
is likely to go down 50 cents if you
wait over until to-morrow?”
“No!
“Or why it’s higher than it was last
summer?”
“No.”
“Or if you can stop over for two
weeks somewhere to visit your Aunt
Samantha?
“No.”
The clerk leaned over the counter.
“Pardon me, madam,” he said. “but
are you married.”
“Yes.”
“It’s too bad,” he sighed, “but I
might have known such a prize would
not be unclaimed. I haven’t seen an-
other like you in afl the time I've
been here.”
Tom Reed’s Title of “Czar.”
Speaker Thomas B. Reed had for
the first time, amid continuous up-
roar, enforced his new rules upon the
House, and that body was in open re-
volt. Many members of his own party
rebelled at the imperious dictatorship
of the Speaker.
The Speaker's imperious domina-
tion over the popular body of Con-
gress was generally declared to be
contrary to a republican form of gov-
ernment—decidedly Russian in char-
acter.
As this dispatch was clearly the
news feature of the night, I myself, as
managing editor, undertook the con-
tinuation of the big head. As a top
line, I wrote—
REED, THE RUSSIAN.
The compositor did not follow the
marks indicating the size of display
type, but used a larger font. Conse-
quently, the words overran the col-
umn, and the proof came back thus—
REED, THE RUSS.
A new catch-line had to be invented
immediately, because the page was
“made up” and waiting. After sev-
eral attempts a happy thought sug-
gested a single word that has become
a part of American political history.
I directed the foreman to set in the
largest possible type and place over
the article the words—
CZAR REED.
The title was an instantaneous hit.
It was caught up throughout the coun-
try—its use not confined to democratic
papers at first.—Julius Chambers in

TOWN OF TWO PEOPLE.
They Were the Postmaster and the
Editor of the Local Newspaper.
Colonel Bob Wilfley, of Hopkins, who
has been in the west, tells the Journal
of a town he ran across in the west
that had just two inhabitants, but
which nevertheless, boasted the pos-
session of a postoffice and a newspaper.
The town was near Pueblo, Colo. Gold
had been found near where it was sub-
sequently located. The find was sup-
posedly rich and in no time a town of
perhaps 2,000 persons was flourishing.
But the find didn’t pan out as expected
and the town dwindled away faster
than it had been builc up. Soon no one
was left save the postmaster and the
editor of the newspaper. The post-
master was preparing to leave and the
newspaper man could have done like-
wise, but for the fact that he had con-
tracted to publish hundreds of mining
claim notices.
These notices had to be published
for six months before he could get his
money, which was on deposit for him
in a Pueblo bank and which amounted
to $4,000 or $5,000, the cost of each no-
tice being $20,
The editor had three months to
publish them before he could fulfill his
part of the program and get his money.
He did not relish the idea of being the
only man in the “city,” located in the
mountains, “40 miles from nowhere,” so
he offered the postmaster $100 a month
if he would remain until he could com-
plete the official printing. The post-
master accepted the offer and the two
young fellows (both single men) were
the sole occupants of the town for three
long months, at the close of which
period they turned it over to the ten-
der mercies of the owls and the bats.—

from headache, biliousness or a dull,
drowsy feeling should take one or two

Dewey Makes Restitution,
Back in the 70s, when Dewey had
command of a ship of the old Hartford
type. he was lying in the harbor off
Genoa. Visitors were allowed on
board at all times except Sunday morn-
ing when inspection took place, says
Lippincott’s. One Sunday a well known
American millionaire steamed out with
a party of friends in his private yacht,
and succeeded in getting on deck,
where he was met by Captain Dewey,
who asked him to leave. Mr. Money
remonstrated, and, finally, exasperated
by the cool firmness of the officer, he
burst out:
“No, sir, I won’t leave. I am an
American citizen and have a perfect
right on this vessel. I pay taxes in
America; I am on my own property;
part of this ship belongs to me!”
Calmly Dewey opened his penknife,
stooped down and split off a piece of
the deck flooring. Handing it to the
incensed American citizen he replied:
“There’s about what you own, and
there’s the ladder—now git!”
And he got.
A GREAT SENSATION.
There was a big sensation in Lees-
ville, Ind., when W. H. Brown of that
place, who was expected to die, had
his life saved by Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery for Consumption. He writes:
“] endured insufferable agonies from
Asthma, but your New Discovery gave
me immediate relief and soon thereaf-
ter effected a complete cure.” Similar
cures of Consumption, Pneumonia,
Bronchitis and Grip are numerous.

and lung troubles. Price 50c, and

SA RE ie,
Watched all Points.
The late Senator Hanna had a keen
mind, and in contest of wit he was
seldom defeated. says the New York
News.
There is a certain Cleveland lawyer
whom Senator Hanna liked to tanta-
lize, though the two men were really
good friends.
At a banquet in Cleveland Mr. Han-
na nodded toward this lawyer and
said:
“Gentlemen, you see Brown there?
Well. I was in Brown’s office yesterday
when his client in that contested will
case called to square accounts. The
client stood out in the hall and handed
his bill in to Brown to be receipted.
“‘Come in, Brown called to him,
cordially. But the client shook his
head.
“‘No, thank you, he said; ‘you’d
charge me for rent if I did.”
