"WheD," shouted the orator, "when will come that blessed day when svery man shall get all he earns?" 'It'll come along about the time," \ fiercely back-answered the man in the crowd, who was there for that purpose, "it will come when every man earns all he gets!" "How much is this thermometer?" 'Seventy-five cents." "Why, I got j me just like it here a couple of days igo for 40 cents." "What time in the day did you buy ii?" "About 8 j /clock in the morning." "Ah, well, it is 12 o'clock now; thermometers i are always higher at noon." Unless food is digested quickly it will ferment and irritate the stom- J ach.

Last fall I sprained my l.ft hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

' Women," he said, "really ought to make a better orator than a man." "Why so ?" she asked. "Because," he replied, "to a certain extent, at least, she follows the methods of that famed orator, Demosthenes." "In what wa}!" she inquired, still busy with the finishing touches of her toilet. "You remember," he answered, "that Demosthenes used to practice talking with his mouth full of pebbles." She hastily took the pins out of her mouth and informed him that he was a mean old thing anyway. The Appetite of a Goat. Is eDvied by all poor dyspeptics whose Stomach and Liver are out of order.
