"How Old Is That I HC Wagon?"
THE other day a Kansas farmer walked
into the I H C local dealer's jplace of
business to buy his third I H C wagon.
The question of the age of his first IHC
wagon came up. He thought he had had it
about five years. The dealer looked up his
old books and found that the wagon was pur
chased on the 15th of July, 1905, being now
seven years old and practically as good as new.
A man may forget when he bought his IHC
wagon
Weber Columbus
New Bettendorf Steel King
but he cannot forget the long, faithful service
he gets from it. IHC wagons are built to
last long and give satisfactory service. Where
you find a man owning an I H? wagon, you
will rarely see him with any other make at any
time.
The wood parts of I H C wagons are made
from selected, high-grade, air-dried lumber.
The metal parts are mostly steel of the
strongest and best kind. Weber and Colum
bus wagons have wood gears, while Steel King
and New Bettendorf have steel gears.
The best wagon for your purpose is sold by
tWe IHC local dealer who will give you the
best of reasons for buying it. Get literature ?

WOT HER FIRST APPEARANCE
Well Meaning Church We<na?) Unfor
tunate In Extending W>l>oiwt,
mm Pastor Had Counseled
It la embarrassing aomtttmei, tbl? j
tbinf of sudden religious M?l; that il. j
If you haven't made tt a regular bust- !
ness. Witness the mistake made some
time ago by a food woman who was a
regular attendant at a churct down :
on Chestnut street, aays the Louisville ,
Times.
One Sunday morning her pastor
preached an Inspiring sermon on the
subject of welcoming tbe "Stranger
Within Thy Oates." He urged upon
his membership the duty of giving ft
cordial greeting to strangers who hftp
pened in at that cbjrcb.
This good woman waa much im
preaaed with Ms remarks. As she
turned around to leave the ohurch, she
discovered an unfamiliar faoe in the
pew immediately behind her. With a
radiant smile she extended her hand.
"I'm glad to aee you out this morn
ing." ahe said.
"Thank you," replied tbe stranger
with a merry twinkle In her eyes.
"Do you come often T" sweetly asked
tbe good woman.
The itranger smiled. "I have been
occupying this pew for the past seven
years," she said.
There was an embarrassed silence,
and then the good woman turned and
started out. It was noticeable that
?he made no further attempt to greet
any stranger that morning.
WORLD'S MOST NOTED ECHOES
8oms Reproduoe Sound In Melodious
Manner, Others With ? n Cffeot
That Is Terrifying.
Probably the finest echo which the
world knows Is In the cathedral at
Pis*, where the Leaning Tower Is.
Sing two notes and there Is no re
verberation; sing three and they are
at once taken tip by the walls of the
edtfloev swelled, prolonged and varied,
till they aeem as a divine harmony
from some majestic organ.
There la a cavern In ' Finland In
which, If you test your lungs to the
top of their capacity, there will an
swer you such horrible roarings*
moanlnga and mutterlngs that you
will be glad to rush out in absolute
terror. s .
The cutting down of tree* hi a cer
tain locality on the Hudson river
spoilt a splendid echo. A word shoot
ed there was repeated 42 times.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
natural echo In the world is to be
heard by the side of a small lake In
Bavaria On one hand rises a perpen
dicular cliff sevenal thousand feet
high, while on the other side Is a
dense forest. If \ pistol ia fired on
the lake the woods send back a faint
echo that gradually dies away, but
presently it is heard from the cliff,
continually increasing In power, till it
bursts over one's head like a deafen
inff peal of thunder.
fRapa" and "Mamma."
The use of "papa" in this country il
lustrates the flow and ebb of fashion
in words, as in costumes, -pretty
clearly. ,
. All authorities agree that "papa" and
"mamma" arrived here from France in
the seventh centuwg, says the Iyondou
Chronicle. At first they were court
ly expressions, and were used by "per
sons- of fashion," adults as well as
children, lij the eighteenth century.
But with the nineteenth the middle
classes took them up, originally re
garding them as genteel; in our own
time one of the faults of th? hero of
"E dunno w'ere e' are," after coming
into "a little bit o' splosh," was that
he " 'ad the cheek and lmpidence to
call 'is mother 'is ma." The usual re
sult followed. Everybody's worde
adopted as genteel because vulgar, and
now "papa" and "mamma" are dying
out, even among children.
Drew the Crowd.
It was the ambition of the proprietor
of the moving picture show to get a
record house that week. The first two
nights he failed to get it. On ' the
third night his unparalleled attrac
tions were advertised thus through a
megaphone at the hall door: ;
"Ladles and gentlemen: Every pic
ture 'I shall show you tonight has cost
the life of a film actor. In the .bridge
wrecking scene two men were
drowned, in the railroad collision one.
man was crushed to death, and the
Jungle scene three men were fearfully
mangled by wild beasts.
"Reprehensible tactics to mention
those harrowing details," said the pro
prietors of other shows; nevertheless
they achieved the manager's purpose,
for the next day the house was pack
ed at every performance.
Texas.
' The area of Europe is about 3,700,
000 square miles, while that of Texas
is 265,000 square miles. But the Lone'
Star State is not to be "sneezed" at
as an empire. It Is bigger^ than
Prance, bigger than the whole Ger
man Empire, bigger than Austro-Hun
gary, bigger twioe over than the
United Kingdom. It Is rich in nat
ural resources, and if settled as thick
ly as little Belgium it would bar* a
population of 265,000,000, or nearly
three times the present population of
mm
the entire United States.

Preliminary
Talk
"It certainly la going to be a beauti
ful day," murmured Dalbeck, when
the tun, shining In bis face, awaken
ed him Sunday morning.
"Why don't you go on out to tba
golf club, then?" inquired Mm. Dai
back. -
"Ob, no? I don't wflD to do tljatt"
"Why not?"
"Do you waut me to go?" inquired
Dalbeck, in accent* of <\eep reproacb.
"Wbeo Sunday is the only day of the
week that I can apend with my family,'
it is pretty bard llnea to And you try
ing to get rid of me!"
"Now, James!" aaid Mrs- Dalbeck,
protestlngly. "The Idea- that you ahould
think auch a thing for a minute! You
know I'd rather have you at home than
anywhere else on earth!"
"Then of courae I won't go," Dalbeck
?aid with a skillfully revealed algb.
"Not if you don't want me to. I ba
lieve It's a man's duty to do as his
wife wants, even at the cost of his
personal Inclinations, and of course I'd
rather stay at home with you*?' "
"Why, It would spoil my whole day!"
Interrupted Mrs. Dalbeck, "If you gave
up a beautiful time in the country just
bacause you thought I was selfish
eaough to make you stay at home! I
want you to go!"
"Henrietta," Mid Dalbeck, "do you
suppose for one instant that you can
deoelve me? I know perfectly well
thai you are holding your disappoint*
peat at the idea of a lonely day and
are urging me to go merely out of the
uBMllabneae of your nature. I'm not
going to take advantage of It. Any
how, I really don't care about playing
golf today. I hadn't even thought of
It until you spoke, and you Bee I
didn't jump at the Idea then. I'd lota
rather stay at home."
"Nonsense," aald Mrs. Dalbeck. "If
?you stayed at home this beautiful day
my conscience would reproach me,
James. We may not hasre any more
alee Sundays thla fall, and it will do
you good to get outdoors. I am per
fectly willing for you to go, because
I know you need the exercise. A man
of your age doesn't exercise nearly
enough, and ? **
"Oh, so you are dissatisfied with my
figure, ore you?" inquired her husband
in tones of deepest reproach. "I know
rm not an Apollo, but I didn't think ? "
"James!" cried Mrs. Dalbeck. "You
are perfectly stupid. I was just trying
to make excuses for you to go ? "
"Aha!" said her husband. "Your
words plainly show that you honestly
don't feel that I should go! Your real
opinion Is that a man is a dub who
doesn't pass Sunday with hie family,
and I agree with you. Where should
we find more happiness and pleasure
than by the family -hearthstone, any
how. I'd lots rather ? "
"I know you would," said his wife,
"but you must consider your health,
James. It is your duty to do so. PleaBe
oblige me by doing as I ask and go
ing out to the club!"
"I haven't the least desire to go,"
protested Dalbeck. "Somehow I don't
feel up to it. It may rain, anyhow ? "
? "The sun never shone brighter," In
terrupted Mrs. Dalbeck. "Please,
James!"
Dalbeqk looked harassed and then
resigned. "I don't see why you make
such a fuss about it," he mourned.
"And there isn't time to catch the
golf special now, anyhow, if I did
want to go!"
"Yes there is," insisted his wife.
"Hare are all your clothes ready to
Jump into, and I'll bring you up some
coffee while you are dressing. That
clock is five minutes fast, and if you
hurry ? here are your shoes and ? "
"'You don't give a fellow time to
think," Dalbeck grumbled. "You are
rushing me off at such a rate that I
don't get a chance to say a word. It
doesn't seem to make any difference
to you whether I want to go or not,
Just so you get your own way. I ? "
"Here's your cap," said Mrs. Dal
beck, as she opened the inside door,
"and if you hurry you can just make
the train!"
She watched Dalbeck leap and van
ish around the corner, and then she
smiled to herself. "I suppose he has to
go through all that formula every time
to ease his conscience," she said.
"Hello," Dalbeck was saying on the
station platform to three other men
In golf attire. "I came near missing
the train this morning, I tell you ? I got
so Interested making my objections to
going as artistic as possible. But they
worked beautifully."'
Very Convenient.
An enterprising builder was one day
In conversation with several friends,
when he was accused of using inferior
materials in the construction of
houses which he had recently built.
A hot argument ensued, in the'
midst of which a gentleman arrived
who lived in one of the Jerry-built
cottages, and the matter was referred
to him.
"Weel, sirs," said he, "I tan assure
ye they are the malst' convenient
booses I ever abode In."
"But," said one of the listeners,
'{why convenient dae ye say?"
"Oh, baud yer wbeest till I explain.
When flrstj cam to bids In itr. Jerry's
