Now these fair Vestals were Named Lib and Mln and Stel and Jess, and It is of Interest to note that away back, nearly 35 Tears ago, before the World had been reformed Into Its present deplorable Fix, these Maidens slept with one Eye ojien. kept Tab on the Opposite Gender and. In a General Way. looked out for Number one and the Blue Ticket A good many Weepers will tell yon that previous to 1910, when a Nice Girl was supposed to Faint If anyone saw her Ankles, every Marriage had a Background of True Love and every Deb went looking for Nobility of Character instead of an AA1 Rating at the Commercial Agency. If the Truth must come out, full many a cold Calculation was made beneath a Poke Bonnet Weren't Too Ambitious. Cleopatra knew how to put a Crimp in a Check Book. When Solomon began giving Presents to the Queen of Sheba she never begged him to stop because she was afraid he could not afford it Going a little further back, the fuzzy Gentleman who wore a Leopard Skin bias, and naught else, always had the Inside Track If his Cave was stocked with fresh Pterodactyl Meat And, checking up on those Relatives, can we not be certain that the gimpy and enterprising Ape who climbed the highest Palms and brought down the milkiest Nuts was the White-HalreTapa of the Jungle? When the four Dulcineas out at Musselwhite began to look around for Feathers that could be used in a Neat, they were simply running true to form. Of course it was a Tap Era and a Dollar would go a long Distance, whereas now It seems muscle-bounThe Village Belle who was getting ready to take a Buggy Ride could hardly sleep a Wink the Night before and at a Musical Offering the Folks In the Back Rows would stand up. to get a Peek at the new Triumph of Man's Ingenuity called the Saxophone. The four conniving Cutles were not looking for Millionaires. It was no use trying to creep up on Something that wasn't there. Each of them merely wanted a Home with a Front Tard to'It and a Hired Girl and the kind of Duds thnt would go with a Silk Parasol. They were real Chums and used to visit One Another and lie awake far into the Night discussing their foxy Flans for landing and stringing some Live Ones. It will ever be a Question in picking out the Envelope supposed to contain the Pay Check, whether It Is wiser to spread the Bait for John who already has Currency In the Mitt or troll for a hard Worker who owns a set of Tools. . Lib was the first to take the High Jump. After burning up many a ton of Anthracite Coal to keep the Front Room warm through the Long Winter Evenings, and holding Hands until her Fingers were Blue, she finally picked Pachydehra-wlt- h out a large the very attractive Name of Wes.

The net on that much Land, after paying Taxes and making Improvements and Repairs, would not keep the average Fa.nily In Bluing. Furthermore, any time Congress gets too busy trying to do something for the Farmer by mere use of the Vocal Cords, any good Fertile Tract Is apt to be a Liability instead of an Asset.

Because he said little, most of the Town Folk thought he was a Dumfuddie. Ball of Fir Upsets the Dope. It was not generally understood In Musselwhite that anyone ever cut out Idle Chatter so as to devote more time to Thinking. Stel had been keeping Cases on him and she figured that he was doing something with the Bean besides using it as a support for a Derby Hat, so she crossed her Fingers and took the big Gamble. It Is now a matter of History that Si became such an Expert Accountant that finally he owned the Elevator and then began to touch up the Market Wire and finally moved right into Chicago and became one of the most audacious, unscrupulous and nervy Hounds that ever wore hornrimmed Glasses and dealt from the Bottom of the Deck. They are very proud of him, back in the Old Home Town, and will tell you that Stel and he live In a very exclusive and restricted District which bars out Colored People and Apartment Houses. They have a Japanese Servant and both have been to the Mayo Institute, than which nothing could be more so. If any of the Locals ever raise a Question as to how he acquired the princely Bank Roll, some one speaks up and asks, "Well, he's got It, ain't he?" What more could be said even though Chapters were devoted to the subject. It was the candid Opinion of the Wise Men of Main Street, back in the Glorious Days of Free Silver, that J. Percival Trigwhlltz was the cooniest and cleverest kit of the whole Kit No matter what anyone said to him he was right there with a Keener than mussnappy Come-Baetard and nothing got past him except Lightning.

The annual loss to the state from this dis ease approaches 200.000 pigs, and this year, reports Indicate that more than the usual amount of trouble may be expected. It is cot necessary to wait until the pigs are weaned in order to vaccinate them. The proper time for vaccination is when the pigs are five or six weeks old, but they may be vaccinated safely at one week of age. Hogs that have previously been vaccinated are Immune to the disease.
