When a horse shows tinge of colic or a pig is indisposed ; when a cat com- plains of fever, realistic or supposed ; when a calf is off its rations, or a gobbler hangs his head, when a mule looks wan and wasted or.a hired man takes to bed—then this rare and weighty volume, gospel page of life and hope, always knows the balm that’s need- ed, and prescribes the proper dope! Forty full-page illustrations deal with ailments of the skin, forty pages cry the dangers of the chronic use of gin; there’s a page on corns and bunions and a treatise on the hives, a chapter on tree culture, some advice on sharp’ning knives; there are facts on ventilation, and some recipes for sweets, some remarks on sum- mer canning, and some menus for our eats; worlds of knowledge, truth, and wisdom, gleaned from doctor, nurse and cook—next to catalogue and Bible comes our family doctor-book. AN UNWRITTEN LETTER - Grand Forks, N. D. Dear Farmer Jones: I have butted my head up against a stone ‘wall as long as I can stand it. and.I have written you now" to see if you can square me up with the farm- ers. The Herald hasn't been making much money recently; ‘somehow I can’t .seem to make the farmers understand that I am not fighting them but just fighting their organization. Even some of the business men of Grand Forks are "kicking now. - And our paper down there in Fargo that Norm Black runms, isn’t doing much either. He tried for a while to make the farmers think he was friendly, but it doesn’t seem to work as well as it used to. Try to fix things up for me wnth the farmers and I will promise that the Herald will be good. - You don’t need to be afraid of Tom Parker Junkin; he will write anything T tell him to, J. D. BACON. P. S. Try to get this fixed up QUICK before:the farmers get their new paper started here. J. D. B. But, strange to say, Jerry Bacon hasn’t written this letter yet. He might have—but he hasn’t. * * * THOSE WERE THY CHARMS! Backward, turn backward, Oh Time in thy flight, Back to the days when the trousers were tight; Back to the ‘days of the high stove- pipe hat, The glorious time ' of the Gladstone cravat; Backward, turn backward again to the years, ‘When the collar stuck up right in front of the ears, And leaving uncovered an acre of throat Gave play to the gullet; when long dangling coat Gaping wide at the front of the prop- erly dressed Showed yards of shirt bosom to inches of vest. Ah, those were the days, Daddy 'rime, don’t you know, : ‘When Fashion was Fashion, and show was just show; Ah, those were the days, so our grand- mothers tell, ‘When men really knew what it was to be “swell”! * » * Speaking physiologically, money is the life blood of a prosperous na- tion and perfect circulation is the only guarantee of health, Com- merce is the arteries and veins, local business is the pulse, the clearing house is the lungs, and last but not least, uh, uh, uh— Wall Street has always been the heart, and a bad heart spoils the whole blamed thing. * * It is well to turn over a new leaf, and it is sad indeed when a sudden gust of criticism is allowed to turn it back again. Conscientious determination makes a good pape; weight. * EARLY TO BED AND EARLY TO RISE WOULD SAVE ON EXCUSES, AND IMPROMPTU LIES. * * * Astronomers, disappdinted in thedr search for new planets, are apt to mag- nify their troubles. PAGE TWO J.ET. - THE FARMERS' SHIP Thou too sail on, F. N. P. League, Feéar not the wind of false intrigue;' . Fear not a lot of trumped-up talk— ’Tis.of the wave, and not the rock, "Tis but a blast of Standpat air, ? Blown hot and thin, and tinged with .7 “scare”; 'Tis but a storm, served ready-made, The wind for which the press is paid, Sail on, nor fear such tommy-rot. “Disloyal!” Shucks, they know you're not; Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea, Spread out thy sails of loyalty! These tiny waves beneath thy prow, Could scarcely swamp a fisher's skow; Sail on, the little wind-god, Norm, Must order up a bigger storm— And St. Paul papers blow a clip Before they halt this farmers’ ship! (Not written by Longfellow.) * * * A doctor, operating for supposed appendicitis, found that the appen- dix had been already removed. He wished to do the right thing by the victim so placed a sticker over the opening which bore this inscrip- tion: “This package was opened by mistake!” * * * The little editor who takes his cue from the city daily could very properly be labeled as is a small package of smoking tobacco, to-wit: THIS IS AN AUTHORIZED SUB-DIVISION OF A PROPERLY, STAMPED PACKAGE: Get me, Norm? * * * LIGHT OCCUPATIONS Mountain guide in North Dakota. Secretary of the navy in Switzer]an? Lieutenant in the Coast defense o JTowa. Lineman for a wireless telegrapi company. Blubber administrator for the Eski4 mo government. * * * - Townley must have LOOKED wonderfully unpatriotic when he * made that St. Paul speech, for there seems to be nothing in the text to excite 80 much metropolitan com« ' ment. Can it be that he has mads the mistake of raising a mustache - which points sky:vard at the ends? » * 5 “A bird in the hand is worth two i the bush.” “Absurd”, says the Enge lishman, “to attempt to judge the relas tive value of poultry in that prom:scm ous manner!” * * * MAYBE IT'S SKIM MILK Grandpap Perkins says he recks ons that aeroplanes going through the Milky way would be bothered a good bit by butter in their pro- pellers.
