Prepara­ tions for the funeral were in progress when the corpse surprised her friends by calling for food. The result is that Mrs. Hanna is on the highway to recovery and the undertaker is as mad as a hornet and says it's such things as that that are preventing a revival of business."

A preacher said: "You editors dare not tell the truth, for if you did neither you nor your paper could live." The editor replied: "You are right and you preachers are in the same fix If you told the truth about your church mem­ bers, alive or dead, you would find it convenient to leave town before your first sermon was ended. Press and pulpit are partners in the whitewash business, and together with the gravestones are the great saintmaking triumvirate." The preacher walked off studying his sermon for old Sokum's funeral, while the editor wrote up the charms of a bride who was nearly as homely as a hedge fence.--Ex. .......iGeorgie Nickels Earl Brow®.

THE following decision of the Supreme court may be of interest to business men; No town or city has the right to give a man a license or permit to sell any wa res or merchandise on the sidewalk or streets iu front Of the property of another person. The street in front of a man's place of busiuess is held to be an appur­ tenance to the lot on which his store is erected, and for his business against all others except only by the right of travel thereon. A Great Magazine Feature. The Ladies' Home Journal has secured what promises to be the great magazine feature of 1808. It is entitled '"The Inner Ex perienci 8 of a Cabinet Member's Wife," In a series of letters written by the wile of a pabinet member to her sister at home, are detailed her actual experiences in Washington, frankly and freely given. The letters are written without any in­ tention of publication. They give inti­ mate peeps behind the curtain of high official and social life. They are abso­ lutely fearless, they study Washington life under the search-light as it has never been before presented The Fresident and the highest officials of the land, with the most brilliant men and women of the Capitol, are seen in the m « . familiar way. As these are all actual experiences the name of the writer is withheld. The letters will doubtless excite much shrewd guessing by readers aud study of inter­ nal evidence to discover the secret: "The Experiences," whi*h will be beautifully illustrated, begiu in the December num­ ber and will continue lor several months. True in Many Cases. An exchange says, if a man has a $50 pup, he would look after it carefully and not lot it run around all over town. But if he has a boy it, is different. The boy irt turned loose at a tender age to go to the devil, and then the people wonder where all the great army of tramps, bums, dead beats, loafers and gamblers come from each decade. They' are germ iuated from the pure seed gathered from our homes and sown broadcast upon our streets and alleys. It may be that your boy is making a good growth in 1 hat direction. At all events the boys ought to have an equal showing with the pup. The above is not true in all in­ stances, by any means, but there are curtainly a few cases where preference is shown the pup. A Rat Jamboree The Marengo Republican has the lollowing: Fred Miller told us a few days ago about a bit of fun he had been hav­ ing with rats on the farm about five miles northwest of town. He had a crib i f corn w hich he found the rats were making sad havoc with. lie sold the corn and the rats then took to the barn. On going into the barn they would scamper out by the score. He saw they all went out at one place, so he placed a barrel purtly filled with water at their exit, and awaited results. The first time he frightened them out of the barn, he found 56 rats drowned in the water; the next time; 44.; the next .'IS); and from 15 to 20 found watery graves every uight. Besides this slaughter he caught from 8 to 12 per day in a wire trap-- over 200 slaughtered within a month. Fred says that if anybody doubts the truthfulness of this story, if they will come over to the farm he will show them where he buried the rats."
