Mr. Weddl®, visiting his wife's rela­ tives up In Maine, fairly had to go to church tint Sunday. lie didn't want to go, but his wife thought it would do him good and would be apt to preserve the harmony of the family. „ The sermon was long and powder dry, and Weddle stole off Into the arms of Morpheus gently and serenely. As he did not snore, bis wife did not suspect that he had gone to sleep alongside of her and gave herself up fully to Inspecting the bonnet of the woman in the pew in front. Like RIS things, good and bad, the sermon came to a»i end at last, but Weddle slumbered on like a baby even after a deacon began taking up the collection In a hat. When the derby was passed to Weddle, Mrs. Weddle was surprised to s«;e that he did not respond. She nudged him violently to bring lilm back to his senses, and Wed­ dle, awakening with a start, sat up­ right and, bewildered, gazed at the hat In the hand of the deacon. Then he shook his head sleepily and said: "No; that isn't mine. Mine Is a gray one."--New York Tribune. Had Nerv«. "Well, ain't that a lovely customer? I just dote on waiting on that kind. Did you &ee her, though?" The shop­ girl was bubbling over with rage. A woman and her daughter had looked at not fewer than twenty-five silk waists. At last they took up one, and the wom­ an brought forth a tape measure. *1 think we mlgh^jjet it out of three and a half yards or three and two-thirds anyhow. Just wait -- twenty-three inches down the front, three-quarters for the sleeves. allow a quarter for col­ lar and cuffs ;Yes, that'll do it." As she talked shife'ran the tape over the waist, the clevk standing by almost bursting with indignation. "Three yards of la-ce, one and « quarter of in S(;rtlou.' she went ou, measuring the trimming. "Put that down, Amy. Now let's go. We can get up a waist exactly like that for $7.50, and they a<k $14.98.

The weather was not, however, favorable for harvesting and hay making. During the latter part of the week heavy rains occurred over the entire state and farm work was pre­ vented entirely. Over the northern and central districts, where the rainfall had previously been excessive, these heavy rains have injured, rather than bene­ fitted crops, but over the southern dis­ trict where the weather had generally been too dry, crops have generally been greatly benefitted by them. In some parts of the state high wind accompany­ ing the rain caused considerable dam­ age. In some localities the rain was so heavy as to flood bottom lands. The weather has been cold during the week, though it was much warmer in the extreme southern part of the state than elsewhere, and this has retarded the growth of vegetation somewhat. Wheat and rye harvest has been retarded by rain, though these crops are practically all in shock in the southern district and over a considerable portion of the cen­ tral district. Threshing has begun in the southern district and the yield ranges from very poor to very good. Many correspondents state that the yield is better than was anticipated. Though in a few localities in the cen­ tral and northern districts the crop is poor, it is generally reported to be good in those districts. The wet weather has caused a very rank growth of oats in the northern and central districts, and in many localities they are already very badly lodged. Notwithstanding this, however, the prospects for a good crop continue favorable. Saves a Woman's Life. To have given up would have meant death to Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorchester, Mass.

Very Remarkable Gore of Diarrhoea. "About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and se­ vere attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertise­ ment of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The re­ sult was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well, or believe that it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me." For sale by all druggists.

Tki KM Ym Han Always Bought From the Theater fciliery, Mr. W. Pett Ridge tells in the Eng­ lish Illustrated that the best repartee he ever encountered was in the gal­ lery of a theater. An extremely stout, good tempered woman contrived to wedge herself Into a space that would have accommodated a person of ordi­ nary size, to the unconcealed annoy­ ance of a smartly dressed youth next to her. She began to peel an orange, and the youth, with a gesture of com­ plaint, removed his silk hat fiissily to a safer position. "I suppose," said the good tempered woman, "that you'd rather have had a gentleman sitting by the side of you. sir, wouldn't you?" The youth replied snappishly In the affirmative. "Ah." said the woman thoughtfully, "so would 1!" Pretence of Mind. During a performance at one of the London theaters a man and his wife had to quarrel on the stage, the wom­ an in a rage of Jealousy, the ipan try­ ing to persuade her that she was too suspicious and too passionate. Both were acting with great spirit when the #lfe moved her arm too near the can­ dle, and her muslin dress was In flames tn an Instant. Both actors kept their heads, however. The husband extin­ guished the fire and, proceeding with his part, interpolated: "You see, my dear, I was right. You are ready to flare up at the least thing.M Rot Left Ont. An English paper tells a story of some children's theatricals. A party of children were giving a little drama of their own, in which courtships and weddings played a leading part in the plot While the play was in progress one of the grownups went behind the scenes and found a very small girl sit­ ting in the corner. "Why are you left out?" he asked. "Aren't you playing too?" "Oh, I'B not left out," came the reply. 'Tg the baby waiting to be horned." Wtthoat a Rival, Printers' Ink undertakes to explain why the newspaper is the foremost and unrivaled medium of publicity.
