Dogs never get drmik! It is also improper to libel the hog by saying that an intemperate matt makes a hog o! himself. Now, the hog is not a very polite animal, for he sometimes puts bis foot, in his dish, but he ih not given to intenipe'tence. Mr. Rergb ought to complain of the men who say that a bummer is a drunken brute The brutes never use intoxicating liquors as a beverage. They ai-e water drinkers, and they prefer cold water at all seasons of the year. No matter how hard their work nor hot the weather, they require nothing to drink except water. " ' She Never Had a Fair. Among many interesting incidents con­ nected with th? closing of the saloons in Kittaning, Pa.,, a leading merchant .tells the following: * A woman came into his store timidly. She was evidently unaccustomed to trad- tog. * "What can I do to you?'* incpiirfd tt»e merchant. "I want a pair of shoesfor, a little gar!/' she answtrwLi • ^What number?" . > r, 'She is twelve years old." • "But what number does she wear?" "I do not know." ^ut what number did you bay when ^bought the last pair for her?" "'She never had a pair in her life. Tou Me, sir, her father used to drink when we had saloons but now that they are closed be doesn't drink any more, and this morning he said to me, 'Mother, I want you to go to town to-day, and get Sissy a pair of shoes, for she never had a pair ill her life.' I thotight, sir, if I told you bow old she was you would know just what size to give me." 0, it is pitiful that the children of this republic must be thus robbed of shoes and bread. The man'who gives influence in favor of the saloons gives his sanction fa> this oswft robbery.--Methodist Re­ corder. ipft • Sfr " k& it., I WM, STOFFEL. r •* ^-Agtnt for-- FIRE, - LIGHTNING, ill iwidntil Iuuraao*. a' fa** Iowa.

People -who have tried Santa Claus Soap hold on to it because it is good. Some may think that because there are other Soaps that give more in bulk for the money, that they are cheaper; but such bulk is made up with rosin. When quality is sacri­ ficed for quantity, such soap is not cheap at any price. Santa * Claus Soap is the best, and is sold by all grocers. It is made only by N. K.
