Robinson will travel back to Farmer City with a tin medal certifying his title as star hum6r- ist of the session. When the automo bile bill CHUJ6 np at Springfield Iaat week Robinson sent np a series of amendments that as a contribution to cnrretit bnrlesqne far outshines the res­ olution gotten np by the Texas wag who wanted a "sky blue" tax under which a charge should be made for the privilege of drawing breath. This is the W8iy in which Mr. R'ibin* son wishes all motorists to be regulated: Section 1. In case a farmer's horee will not pass a machine, the autoist will take his car apart aM^ conoasi the parts in the itrasa. ' Sec. 2. All aqtoicts will wear dis­ guises, ladies will go veiled and num­ bers will be placed upon machines up­ side down. Sec. 8. In approaching corves, auto* ists will take the horn and go ahead «a foot, aonndlng it oh* minute and listen­ ing the next. Sec. 4. In case of being called names, the autoiat will pay Uo attention unless he is called a Mollie Coddle, in which case he shall pay his fine for assault. Sec. 5. Speed on country roads will be limited to ten miles an honr until the tourist sees a bailiff who does not appear to have had a drink in thirty days, when the motorist shall be per­ mitted to make all the speed he can. Sec. 6. In case of a breakdown the antoist will have his machine out of the road and cover it with grass and brush, in order that no horse shall take fright pending repairs. Sec. 7. In case the. a'.toist hears a farmer returning from . town on Satur­ day night, uttering whoops and bounc­ ing his «nd gate in such a manner that it can be heard a mile distant, the ma­ chine shall be turned and sent over the back track at full speed until the driver passes a house where a bare-armed lady carrying a clnb is hanging on the front gate, looking down the road toward town. Sec. 8. When., a wagon is sighted ahead the antoTst wilTstop his machine a half-mile distant, approach with ci­ gars, a bottle and white flag, and in case the man on the seat remains cold, the autoist will signal the driver, who shall approach with a band painted mir­ ror for the wife and toys for the chil­ dren; and in the event that none of these avail, the antoist shall return to the machihe and a tart ahead at fall speed add tilt and kill as many of the contents of the wagon as ia consistent with the horse power of the machine. Sec. 9. The touring machine shall change color with vegetation, according to the season, in order that they may be rendered aa inconspicuous as possible. During April and May they shall be green, to match the grass; in June they Bball be golden, to match the wheat; in July and Angust they shall be pale gray, to match the duet that covers everything in the country; in Septem­ ber they shall be green again, to match the corn; in October the}' shall be red, to match the aumac; in November they shall he yellow, to match the pumpkin> and in December white, to match the snow. The reading of the amendments waa punctuated with guffaws from all parts of the chamber, and when they ftfre put they were carried wRh a roar< but Speaker Shurtleff thought the fun had gone far enough and declared them lost. Relief frmm Bh«amNc Pains. Among the troublee that beset man­ kind rheniatism is one of the moat ag­ gravating. "I suffered with it for over two years," says Mr. Holland Curry, a patrolman of Key West, Fla. "Some­ times it settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk, at other times It would be in my feet and hands so I was incapacitated for duty. One night when I waa in severe pain and lame from it my wife went1 to the drug store here and came back with a bottle of Chamberlain'* Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the night I kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rheu­ matism away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for over three months." For sale by all druggiats.

The Richmond Gazette is thirtv-one years old, having entered upon its thir ty-second year with last week's issue. The Gazette, under the capable man­ agement of R. G. Scott, ia now classed among the leading weeklies of northern Illinois. The Marengo Republican-New* en­ tered upon its fortieth volume with last week'B issue. The Marengo Republican- Newa company is giving it patrons a bright, clean paper and judging from the amouut of advertising carried, the business uien of the city heartily appre­ ciate this fact The horses in Sterling are affected with a disease similar to pneumonia and mauy of them are dying. If the disease is taken in hand in the start a cure can be effected, but if let run noth­ ing can be done to relieve the animal. One of the veterinary surgeons of that city says that the disease is contagious and seems to be spreading at a lively rate. "Dr." Chaa. St. Clair, 82 years old, was last week found guilty in a Chica­ go court of causing Miss Johnson's death by performing a criminal opera­ tion.

Third--Yon shall send the money in advance to give na the chance to get the goods from the factory with yonr mon­ ey; meanwhile you will have to wait patient'.^ « few wseks, because that is our business method. Fourth--Yon shall apply to your near­ est city to aid you in building good roads so that you may conveniently get the goods from the depot which yon buy from us, for we do uot tnild oountry roadB. Fifth--Yon shall buy church bells and interior fixtures from us and forward the money in advance, for that is our business method, and yon shall collect from the business men in your vicinity as much money as yon can for the ben­ efit of yonr churches.

Tenth--You shall, in case of accident, sickness or need, apply to your local dealers for aid and credit, aa we do not know you. Old Not Kxplore Much. TWo young men of Dundee set out on an exploring expedition from Nipper- sink creek last Sunday morning, using canoes for the purpose. Their plans had ltfng been laid for the adventurous journey, bnt, sad to say, their trip down the beautiful Fox was cut quite short thru the interference of a barb wire fence stretched across the river at a place not far distant Jrom their starting point, the result being that the fence held the two bopefnis suspended while their canoes glided smoothly away. After receiving a thoro ducking, neces­ sitating the bnying of new clothes, the two took the train home in the evening. Bnt even at that the young feltows showed that they were game and start­ ed again from their leaving-off point Tuesday morning. Some Good Score*. Since the announcement has bean made in regard to the prizes to bergiven at Yager's bowling alleys for the high­ est individual soOres, both ladies and gents, and for the best average during the month, a great deal of Interest has been shown and some good scores are being made. Thus far Arthur Bickler is leading the gentlemen with a high score of 220, while Miss Zue Gallaher leads the fair sex with a mark of 146. We expect to be able to give a still high­ er score before the time arrives for the closing of the conteet. Get busy and go after the prises. Give Them tfce Hoed. The postmaster general has issned an order or notice that all rural mail car­ riers have the right of way on all coun­ try roads, and that all other carriages or conveyances must surrender that right of way to the rural carriers. That was the role when the mails were carri­ ed in four-horse stage coaches,and every one had to get out of the way when the mail coach came along. It is a very serions matter for anyone to obstruct the rapid transportation of the United States mails. Get ont of the road when the rural free delivery carrier comes along with Uncle Sam's mail!
